Just going to drop these here and let the story tell itself. 

Carolina this season has is on pace to have the best run defense in NFL history by a wide margin, allowing a mere 45 rush yards per game and 2.6 yards a carry. Which in turn has forced teams to rely purely on the passing game against them and their ferocious pass rush.

Dak Prescott since 2017 is 13-21 when throwing more than 30 times in a game and is 6-16 in the same time frame when his RBs go under 100 yards. 

TV channel will go blue Jan. 21 by airing nine hours of Cowboys as a consolation prize

Our defense is on pace to be "the greatest NFL defense of all time" statwise, across the board.  I don't expect that to hold all season long, but man is this group special.  I really hope our defense puts up some significant stats against the Cowboys high powered offense. 

I cannot see how our defense wouldn't show out on Sunday because if it's not our defense, then it says a whole lot about how brutally awful the past 3 teams are - as in all 3 being the worst offenses in the history of the NFL.  I just don't think you get 3 historically bad offenses from 3 different teams in the same season.

Worth noting the Saints average 33 points a game this season when not playing the Carolina Panthers.

Haven't you heard?  Kamara forgot how to run and  the Saints OL forgot how to block during our game and didn't have the the defensive assistant coaches there to remind them how.  Poor sobs.

Any thoughts on how we're able to shut down the running game? Is it the d-line (I've seen Burns and Reddick very involved in run D rather than just existing as pass rush specialists), is Brown that good at clogging up the middle? Are our LBs playing like the second coming of the Three Horsemen (Luke, Davis and Thompson)? Big support from DBs and safeties?

Or is it just an overall explosion of motivation? The entire defense seems to take this personal that they will own the field. There are so many of them in on every tackle, very little standing around and being out of place. Playing with drive and desire.

Dang, this iteration of the Panthers has been long awaited!

I'm looking for Dallas to run a lot of 12 personnel. They tend to spread you out and go empty with it. 

Do the TE's stay in and block or usually run routes? 

Against us, I'd guess they are probably better off as receivers with the hopes Dak gets the ball out with a free runner in his face.  When we rush 4, there are typically at least a couple blockers just doing nothing, so extra blockers won't help them as much as more targets.

There's a good video floating around here on our run defense.  Has to do with how they line up and how they react to what the oline is doing.  As far as I can tell, it's a combination of scheme and the players going all in, even CB's.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
