Dallas Cowboys @ Arizona Cardinals Pre Game Thread. 09/18/23-09/23/23

i could see Dallas overlooking us and having a letdown after coming out of the gate hot against the NY teams and us keeping it relatively close. I could also see us being emotionally crushed and Dallas cruising.

But for first time this year, either way, I don’t see a scenario where we pull out a win. That said, I think a 12.5 spread at home is still a sucker’s bet and wouldn’t touch it.

This kind of reminds me of the build up for the Tennessee game Dallas played last year when Dobbs was the Tenn starter. Dallas were supposed to destroy him and they did not. It was a respectable game and Dobbs gave them a lot of trouble compared to others that they faced. For Dallas this is the first game of the year where they will be overwhelmingly favored to win by a wide margin, which can be a test in its own right.

I have to admit that of all of the cowboys teams that I have followed this defense is up there close to the 1992/1993 teams and none of those teams had a cheat code quite like Parsons. I honestly cannot believe how lucky they are to have drafted him because I don’t think he was their first choice in that draft. yesterday the cowboys offense had a really good game with no turnovers against what is supposed to be a top defensive unit.

Somebody needs to work on sabotaging the a/v system so this game is not broadcast on tv. This is going to be one for the ages.

This is the one week I'm staying away from Twitter/X, NFLN, ESPN, ETC...it's going to be insufferable with all the Cowboys garbage.

Yep. I wisely steered clear of betting the over on rushing yards for Barkley. Seemed like a sure thing. I think it missed by 2 yards.

I don't know what the law is over there. But here you can't sell your tickets if you can't go to games. Or at least if you get caught, as you would if a fan in an opponent's shirt turned up, then you can lose your ticket and be banned.

It is a blessing and a curse. I had to pay for a Hospitality suite when I went to Anfield, because I couldn't legally get a ticket another way. $450 a ticket isn't fun.

It's in the terms and conditions of sale, I imagine you have similar T&C's in contracts over there?

Scalping rules vary from state to state. Almost always legal, but since most sports went to digital sales, it is pretty easy to transfer the ticket over to another person.

I think Cards are surprisingly competitive in this game, or they get the crap kicked out of them. I don't think there is any in between.

I agree that there's very little chance the 2023 Arizona Cardinals with Josh Dobbs as QB blow out the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[GatorAZ]

We’re 12.5 point home dogs—the same amount of points Chicago is getting on the road in KC.

What’s the spread gonna be next week @ SF?

Hard to say right now. A couple of key injuries can change the complexion of a matchup.

I'm just tryna make money this week.

True, and the national coverage on the cowboys is trash regardless of which side of the aisle you are on. It seems like it is just a S-Show. I don’t see the cowboys getting any true answers until they play SF and Philly. And even if they win any those they still have to perform in the playoffs assuming they get there again. It’s a long season.

 

[BritCard]

You're making with the very weird call outs and beating your chest weekly early in an 0-2 season. Just strange.

Calling out people that have been proven over and over seems relevant to why we shouldn't listen to the constant barrage of wrong takes.

If Mike wanted to could he make it a condition of purchase that tickets can't be transferred?

If he can and he doesn't there's only one person to blame.

 

[pemory09]

This will be a tough one, hopefully we can hold our 20-0 lead this time!

Bold prediction: we’ll be down 20-0 at some point. Announcers will mention it and we’ll all be thinking it too: Cards lost a twenty point lead in week two, perhaps they’ll come back and have a win for the ages! Alas, no, we’ll get smoked 37-3.

Nope, that is mandated by the NFL.

Nope, that is mandated by the NFL.

Also, it's in the NFL's interest to have a churn on the secondary market. They keep a portion of everything that stays on SeatGeek.

...said the dude who constantly has wrong takes. See, I, too, can make blanket statements without anything to back them up.

Relax, man. It's going to be a long season. For the most part, the darksiders are rather phlegmatic so far. Outside of us turtling into same old Cards mode, yesterday didn't bother me because we suck. We are who we thought we were and we let 'em off the hook, so to speak. If you recall, I was actually pleased with week 1. I'm just curious why you're in crusader mode to try to force people to agree with your weird off-the-mark call outs thus far. Especially when you're so against other people calling you out. Just relax and endure the tank, my friend.

I like our chances on the road better than home. This fan base sucks out loud and doesn’t deserve anything.
Good luck signing free agents next offseason. It’s comical and about to get worse.

Dude you’re preaching from a different culture. No professional sports team in US does what you’re suggesting to my knowledge.

Spicy 11. Haven’t seen that in awhile.

Remember all those people said Dobbs sucked and would never play well?

That 2020 game will go down as two things, to me....1) Probably the best defensive game played under Vance Joseph and 2) Marked the beginning of the end for Zeke.

 

[Ronin]

It's true. Dobbs played the best half of his life and will most likely never play that good again - and we still lost the game - partly due to his suckiness - but please by all means enjoy this imaginary victory lap of yours
