I'm going to give them a B+. The penalties, the INT inside the 10 yard line, and the fact that we didnt get quite enough pressure on the QB or record any turnovers keeps me from being able to give us an A. But I'm certainly happy with what I did see.

A-/A

Our offense moved the ball at will, while our defense only had one bad drive, maybe two.

Penalties and Romo INT make this not an A+

too many holes in the secondary...we were bailed out by alot of drops

not enough pressure on the QB

too many penalties, although some were pretty ticky

Romo with two bad redzone throws, one cost us a chance to step on them and put them away earlier

Barber injury is definitely all the matters now
I'm right along with this one, but I'll add that going on the road for the 1st game where the fans are wild and anxious, and blowing them out was pretty amazing. I'll say A-

Romo's INT wasn't his fault. Look at the replay. Felix gets run over by McGinest forcing Romo to not be able to get the velocity on the pass. You can see the nose of the ball drop as the ball was coming toward the receiver. T.O. was in single coverage. It was absolutely the right place to go with the ball.

B:


I was telling my buddy during the game that sometimes it's easy to overlook the fantastic offense this team has and how seemingly easy they just march up and down the field...Of course, I find myself having to sit back and appreciate just how impressive it is and not always 'expect' it...They scored 28 but could've easily added another 21 probably.

Crayton impressed me today...I was definiltey lacking some confidence with him as the #2 but he really looked sharp today...Caught everything thrown his way and that one catch where the DB climbed over him was particularly impressive...I like that kind of concentration, great sign of things to come I hope.

TO did score, some lame officiating, not even a review in the booth.

Pacman made 1 maybe 2 good plays for the day but made several poor ones from the PI to the fumble...Rust still showing.

Penalties..Too many penalties, the refrain from last season...Just infuriating to continue to see that crop up...Just never ends does it?...Hell, I'd be happy if we just saw Flozell getting penalties rather than the team getting double digit flags...Geez :banghead:

Trying to figure out where Barber bruised his ribs...Was it on that play near the end of the 1st half where he went airborne? :confused:

Really happy to see Stanback get in on the action with some receptions :D

Anthony Henry played the best in the secondary, IMHO.

O-Line, just dominated, right?...D-Line only got some minimal pressure, IMHO, and that does baffle me some...Were there any blitzes today?

Still, the D bent but didn't break...Game could've been a bit closer had Braylon Edwards not dropped so many passes.

Special teams were average...What was that kickoff to the 20 yard line?

Romo with that INT was not good decisionmaking but otherwise he was pretty phenomenal...Anyone else notice how little he ever looked to run in the game?...Gotta believe he's been given a lot of heat about staying in the pocket, non?
