There are at least two posters at the Cowboys official forum that see the potential for an upset. Here's one:


 

Quote:The Jags game will be tough without a healthy Tony Romo. I understand that they're 1-8, but ksk isn't wrong by saying they're a team on the rise. Blake Bortles is developing at QB, while the Jags finally found a good RB in Robinson. This is the perfect "trap game" for the Cowboys. Here's a realistic way the game could play out:

Tony Romo does not start due to back pain and after being advised to return only after the bye week. The Cowboys start Weeden at QB. The Cowboys have trouble passing the ball and are forced to run a conservative offense. The Jaguars take advantage of this and stack the box (this should sound familiar to you). The result is the Cowboys have trouble moving the ball down the field, resulting in less points scored. The Jaguars' offense follows the the Redskins' formula, which is running the ball repeatedly (which they can do successfully now that they have a playmaker at RB) and throwing high percentage passes while Bortles runs the ball himself from time to time to put the defense off balance. The game becomes hard fought and ultimately puts the Cowboys in a tough situation in the 4th quarter when Weeden HAS to lead the offense to a TD or FG to win the game. How much do you trust Weeden doing that?

The situation I described isn't even the worst case scenario. I would love it if Romo played, but in the long term it could really cost this team if Romo aggravates his injury further. This could be the trickiest game of the season.

 

 

I feel the TE over the middle nightmare will rear it's ugly head again for the Jags and will prove too much for Bortles to overcome on the scoreboard.

Missed tackles could also be the difference in Murray running for 95 yds or 195 yds.   Jags have lots of mistakes to correct to make that poster's worries a reality.
