Back from the game observations for those who care

[Bluefin]

I know it's PS, but the ST's are bad. I just can't imagine they are going to get cleaned up here in 2 weeks. Practice shows results on the field.

There has been a lot of mixing and matching during training camp/pre-season as various players were tried out.

That's no excuse for the breakdowns we witness last night, but I expect the expected regular season coverage players are now getting the bulk of the work in practice.

They've got two weeks to start gelling together and get things sorted out.

I like hearing from people who went to the game.

Just a polite note though and not really for the OP.....seeing a game live sure doesn't mean someone somehow saw a play better than someone who saw it multiple angles (paused, reminded, etc) on TV.
Possibly the opposite.

I get what your saying, and in reality would rather watch the game from my TV as I can pause, rewind, etc. but while live you get so much more there. You can see the play develop and see the whole field before the play has even been made. From home I'm sure it was hard to see Lucky cutting across (as I re watched it today) but at the game you could see him dart from right to left, etc. Unfortanely even with the invention of the widescreen it's still hard to see the whole field.

STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!

I had some really mean people at the bowling alley tell me the same thing...

Romo is good. Check.

Very important to score 2 tds without Dez IMO. You have to prove that your offense can go on if...well you know what I mean.

Gregory will be starting soon. The D changes when he's in the game. I cannot believe what we might have stole! I kept thinking to myself he needs to be in the game. Once he came in the defense changes!

I'm worried about the LBing right now. No Hitch right now, and Ro. No Carter or Durant. Very concerned even with the addition of Lee. The backups are not on par with any of those before mentioned.

I don't know what to make of Dunbar. He will make 1.5 million this year, more than our other backs and he seems to do nothing, nada, zilch, zero! Wouldn't mind him being a surprise cut and letting Gus be that 3rd back.

Very Impressed by Carr and Claiborne last night. Carr is a professional. He may not be Revis, but he plays really well. Broken hand as well. Oh yeah did I mention he's never missed a game in his career?

McFadden is going to do well with the giant holes our Oline will open IMO, but the difference is he can be tackled by a corner as opposed to Murray. Seems really easy to take down IMO.

Very surprised Lucky didn't run with the intial ST's. If our plan is to let Dunbar run back kickoffs it's going to be the old make it to the 20 and fall down routine again.

2 weeks from tonight folks! Cannot wait!

thanx, hope you had a great time.

For me it was Romo. He looked good.....real good.

If Romo = "Good" or Romo = "Decent" then

.cowboysWin = True;

else

Call DeployBlitzDefense()
Call OLineRunningGame()

End if

Pretty much agree. My GOSH our ST coach is a tool. He looked lost on the sidelines last night and powerless to stop what was going on. Meanwhile Red looked pissed off in a big way. Something has to give there.

Not that worried about it until I've seen about four weeks of the regular season.

If his biggest problem all season long is being brought down by DB's.... I'll take it. It will mean he is deep into the secondary more times than not


Go boys!
