    I agree on overall offense but not on Dre.

    Don't know why you think that.

    Both Andre and Hopkins are in the top 20 for receiving yards so far this year. Dez Bryant and Nuk's Rec's, Yac, Rec Yds, and Td numbers are pretty much the same( Hopkins averages more yards per catch).

    Dez + TWill < Nuk +Dre

    Depends on whether you like homeruns or on base percentage.

    I'd say they're about even overall.

    Problem is Romo > Fitzpatrick.

    Exactly. And the margin is clear.

    Add the o-lines comparison and it's pretty clear whose offense is better.

    Best hope for stopping them is our new NT outplaying Powe's previous performance and Cushing continuing to show improvement. Would help our pass rush immensely.

    the line is the biggest gap between the two teams.

    The Cowboys spent several high picks on their OL and it is paying dividends.

    Tyron Smith is a beast.

    Top of that gif(LT) is awesome.

    Reminds me of when Duane was young and breaking James Harrison's face.

    It's impressive, but:

    1. It looks like the DE's momentum is the reason for him falling, more so than the LT actually throwing him.

    2. That DE's name is not JJ Watt.

    meh, tyron is incredible without any qualifications. I would hope romeo is smart enough to keep watt away from him.

    Goodness, the homerism in here is crazy.

    Demarco Murray "about on par" with Arian Foster? LOL

    Foster hasn't been special for awhile now. Murray is eclipsing 5 yards a carry for the second straight season as a featured back. Arian hasn't ever been over 5, but he at least sniffed it at 4.9...in 2010.

    Romo "marginally" better than Fitzpatrick?

    I mean damn. It's fine to admit that their players are either better or younger and good at almost every position.

    We have JJ and Romo can be interception prone just like Fitz. That's what we bank on. No need to make up false hope.

    Let's not watch the game bc their O Line is so incredible and we're gonna get dominated.

    Let's also pretend that their defense isn't trash.

    Their defense isn't good, but we haven't been that good either. Points allowed stat is skewed by the fact that we've played garbage offenses and that fluke bad luck kept the Giants from hanging 40 on us before halftime. (I know, exaggeration)

    I think these teams are both fringe playoff teams with us having a better defense and them having a better offense. Unfortunately our biggest defensive weakness happens to be their biggest offensive strength.

    Tough matchup.

    Geez i wish Texans fans had a little more faith in the team. I can blame anyone though, we've had our hearts broken so many times.

    I do like the fighting going on already between cowboys fans vs texans fans lol

    Really, that's all that needs to be said.

    Seems like everyone here is totally convinced we are going to win or totally convinced we are going to lose.

    Neither result would surprise me.

    Really looking forward to this game, though. If we win, we could go 5-6 for the rest of the year and still have a shot at winning the division (at 9-7).

    No homerism here. I think the Cowboys win, either there or here, but Romo has a long history of self destructing, and we have impact players at disruptive positions, and no longer do I worry about our side getting out coached. Hey, it's the NFL, so anything can happen.

    Are you kidding me BRO?

    Since when was a RB not named Barry Sanders/Earl Campell/Adrian Peterson success determined by there own skill set. That line is opening up holes that any member on Clutchfans can run through.

    Foster is an elite back when given the space. See first two weeks. See last game when passed too.

    Romo is much better than Fitz in my opinion, but Tony has plenty of duds.

    To the Quote I depicted.

    Lets go over defense
    LB- slight edge to Texans as Cush is better than anything they have
    DL-Texans
    DB-Texans

    Offense
    O-Line, QB, TE,RB(Only because there line is really really good)-Cowboys

    WR-Even


    Coaching/Special teams-Texans

    I think the winner is whoever makes the least amount of mistakes.

    I pick Dallas to win by 6.

    Dallas is a better team I feel but to be honest. I don't think anyone has any real clue how good any of these teams are.

    Someone is arguing that Romo is just marginally better than Fitzpatrick? Really? SMH...

    Someone is arguing that Foster is better than Murray? Via Mr. Peabody's Way Back Machine to 2012? SMH...
