Every now and then they will look pretty good as they did against the Jaguars a few weeks back in the shutout burial&nbsp;but overall they are not a very good football team right now.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> For one thing Jim Mora is a far less than average coach. We saw that with the Falcons and he is proving this once again here with <st1:City><st1:place>Seattle<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>. Also, <span class=SpellE>perenially<\/span> the &#8216;Hawks always have trouble on the road and playing in Jerry Jones&#8217; new playground is not exactly advantageous to the <span class=GramE>visitors,<\/span> just ask Matt Ryan and the Falcons who looked silly last week. <br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> You also have to factor in how Mora&#8217;s crew is far from healthy and with <span class=SpellE>Lofa<\/span> <span class=SpellE>Tatupu<\/span> out along with numerous others the boys from Big D are going to take advantage and have their way.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Also Hasselbeck and the offense <span class=GramE>was<\/span> beyond terrible in that debacle of a game against Kurt Warner and the Cardinals in the Great Northwest and come in here with absolutely no momentum at all. <span class=SpellE>TJ<\/span> Houshmandzadeh has not been all that and there is some friction between he and his new teammates.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> <st1:City><st1:place>Dallas<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> meanwhile seemingly has turned things around as they have been winning some games of late and have developed a great wide receiver in Miles Austin. Tony Romo to Austin looks like Troy <span class=SpellE>Aikman<\/span> to Michael Irvin and that will certainly help out a top five, at worst, running game led by Marion Barber and Felix Jones.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> It&#8217;s a tough <span class=SpellE>tough<\/span> spot for a banged up and pretty poor <st1:City><st1:place>Seattle<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> team to be able to compete in. <st1:City><st1:place>Dallas<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> may not be a blowout team but on this day I believe they will be.<\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold; mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>For more information: <\/span><\/font><\/b>Get a 100,000* on <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Minnesota-Green<\/st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>Bay<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> and 50,000* St. Louis-Detroit.
