Preview Of Cowboys At Panthers Tonight

Posted by David Quinn on December 22nd, 2007 filed in Main

While I do agree with my compatriot, Nate, that Dallas will win the game, I don’t believe it will be quite the score he imagines.  Dallas is going on the road against a team that is on the outside bubble of making the playoffs and just last week defeated Seattle, who had wrapped up their division title also, like the Cowboys. 

With the injury situation, I’m guessing that Garrett will pare down the offensive game plan accordingly with Proctor starting in place of Gurode and Romo not at 100%.  Ball control and scoring are going to be at a premium again and the run game is going to have to be successful for Dallas to accomplish either. 

It looks like Julius Peppers will miss the game, which will help the Dallas’ O-line and Romo, but they still have a tough D.  I expect they will play well and Moore will make some plays, so I suspect another close game with Dallas pulling it out late, 20-17.
