This is going to be one of the best game to watch this year.   I can already see some spectacular plays happening from Steve Smith Sr and few of our defense miracle.   

Just few more hours before we thump the 9-1 cowgirls! Jerruh's world is done!

The Cowgirls are NOT 9-1 and after tomorrow will be 8-2.

I think Harbaugh is the difference in this game. It feels a lot like the super bowl matchup. Seemingly unstoppable run game with a next generation QB under center.

If the D-line can stay disciplined like it did against SF and contain the edges I think we can force Prescott to make some mistakes. Just need to make sure we don't beat ourselves and bail them out.

That's where Harbaugh comes in. 

If we're mentally crisp on both sides of the ball from the time the coin toss lands until the time the clock runs out I think we win by 4 points. If not, I think we'll be in it but we'll fail to overcome the lapses and ultimately lose by 10.

If Harbs is to be a Chuck Noll-type figure, this is the type of game this team needs to find a way to gut out.

If Jimmy doesn't play, the entire excitement I had for this game is completely gone and will be dreading watching this. 

I completely feel the same way. I honestly feel we lose if jimmy is a no go. I'm praying he's active so he can shut Bryant down.

Shutting Bryant down is not the huge issue for me. If Tavon can get under his skin and piss him off then he will take himself out of the game mentally, he is a hot head. Besides, Dak does not go deep too often, i am more worried about Elliot coming out of the backfield. As long as we get pressure i say we win the game.

As long as we dont let Elliot into open space I think we hold him to 70 yards or less. Hopefully! If so I believe we win the game. But having jimmy will be huge in stopping any receiver they have. Really hoping our offense can get it going and pick up where they left off in the second half of the Cleveland game.

Is it Sunday yet so excited about this game tomorrow GO RAVENS!!!

Looks like Jimmy will be out..he's doubtful so that's bad.....

[Sherly_Tebow]

I'm confused because Jimmy seemed fine, saying that he's okay, but then he doesn't practice at all (maybe limited Friday) and is considered Doubtful. For some reason, I feel like he plays, idk why, despite it being unlikely.

I have a vision.  we will beat the cowboys and it will not be that close.  the reason we will  win is that Ray Lewis is still our guardian angle and he has touched joe with his magic

Pissed him off with his recent comments is more likely

This is an acute observation.

Cowboys fan here...the Dallas boards are writing you guys off with a lot of overconfidence but I don't see it that way, especially since we have never beaten the Ravens in 4 attempts and Baltimore has a history of spoiling our party. Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of our 2 superstar rookies and am expecting a win (for Dallas) after a tough-fought game.

I'm making no game predictions on score, but I do expect it to be a grind.

I think The Ravens contain, but not stop the c boys offense. Our ability to win this game hinges on the effectiveness of the patchwork O line. If they can get a few yards on the ground and give Flacco some time I think their chances are better than most think.

good to have ya! we always like when opposing fans come in and have a civil discussion lol. 

should be a good game to say the least, this game has a real buzz to it, it feels like a huge deal, and a lot of people are writing off the ravens because of our 4 game losing streak, but its taken out of context when you look at all the injuries and the fact that one of those losses was directly due to overly aggressive coaching and another loss happened because of a one-in-a-million sequence of events on a turnover. 

regardless, i think this game shows which one of these teams is a real contender and which one is still a year or 2 away. if the ravens win, im guessing its due to our defense forcing you to be 1-dimensional and dak not being able to win with his arm. if the cowboys win its probably because we dont force you to be 1 dimensional, you stay balanced, and you work us over with play action passes for big chunks as the game wears on, and if we lose our offense will likely be the real culprit to blame lol.

This game hinges on whether or not Jimmy plays.

Weve beaten the Browns (still not sure why they pulled their young QB) and Big Ben coming off surgery - our pass rush isn't blowing anybody away

with their line and our lack of rush, really need our secondary at full strength

Hey, let's just settle with your both right.

[TuckerTime9]

Let's just say Jimmy's out and Tavon takes care of Dez... it's time to start considering him for DROTY

Thanks for stopping by and your kind words . 

I am not sure how this is going to pan out either . 

I will say this. Cowboys lowest scoring game of the season .

I believe this game is going to hinge on our offense. If the offense steps up, we can win this game.

If the offense can't move the ball then it won't matter how well the defense does to start the game, any defense will eventually get worn down. We absolutely have to sustain some drives today or else we won't have a chance.

[Tank 92]

Again, at this point offensive production is all about O line performance.

At least we're only missing one starter today and their Dline has really struggled rushing the passer this year. Joe should have some time, but I hope we're running more crossing routes and getting the ball out quickly regardless.

We'll need to get at least a respectable run game going as well. Hopefully the mini bye helped.

Just had a random thought and sidebar to this match up. Jason Garrett was the choice to replace Billick prior to Harbs being hired.

I wonder if he regretted that decision when we won our Super Bowl in 2012?

[KBoum]

If Jimmy can't play, the Ravens will need a big game from Tavon. He's been playing lights out so far this year a very solid 4th round pick

I just posted in the gameday thread about how the Dallas defense isn't really that good, but because that Dallas offense controls the ball so well and keeps them off the field, how bad they really are doesn't show up. 

I believe the Ravens offense will show up today and have a performance very similar to the 2nd half of the Browns game. I think the Ravens will start fast  and finish with a clock eating ball controlled offense in the 2nd half.
