Let's see if everybody can be happy with a W or not.

I'll guarantee that we'll see complaints.


Because it was such a convincing win against such a formidable opponent, right? :rolleyes:

Of course there are criticisms to be made, the game turned on a single play in the late 3rd otherwise the Cowboys were in danger of losing the game (That penalty on the punt return really helped)...Fortunately (And contrary to the Commander fans), Miami stinks...The helped a lot in beating themselves.

Flozell Adams...Madden was right last week when he said it felt like he leads the world in false starts...The guy is in need of some auditory assistance.

Julius Jones showcased why he has no business being the featured back on this team...The guy just seems afraid of the line of scrimmage.

Hamlin's INT was simply fortunate as the ball was laid out to him courtesy of Green...Apart from a few of those good fortunes in the secondary, Miami receivers caught many balls in a lot of space.

Speaking of which, Moose called it...What's with Henry giving so much cushion and playing so soft on coverages?...Miami receivers really had some real estate to run after catches.

Pass Rush...Helloooo...Where are you?...This vaunted defense of Wade's is really beginning to show signs of being a paper tiger...Fortunately, we face another gunslinger in Grossman next week...But what happens when the opponent has a QB that can actually complete passes?

Trent Green shows glimpses of his old self and then big reasons of why he is who he is now with overthrows and simply staring down receivers (Nice read by Henry on the INT).

Roy Williams with an INT, fortunately, the ball was thrown right at him...Of course, he was playing in a LB role on that play which is probably what he is better suited for.


The good, of course, is that Garrett called another great game, Romo played strong, Terrell played well (Bad drop in the 3rd on a key 3rd down play, however), MBIII was a stud and the home team welcomed the visitors by kindly imploding given the opportunity in the 2nd half.

Passrush was there all game. They were pushing their O-line around all day. Forcing them to throw quick outs. I can't count how many times Green threw the quick out. You can't throw that 20 times in a game -- or else the defense will eventually pick it off.

Wow.


You don't know a thing about "Pass rush" do you?

We could win 51-0 and some would complain about a 2nd down call early in the first.

Yeah, I know that when the goobs around here don't see sacks piled up they think there was no passrush.

Pass rush. One sack untill it no longer mattered. THAT has got to change- and the fins O line is not exactly great!!

Has nothing to do with Sacks. It's about pressure. And eventhough they did a lot of 5 step drops, we rarely saw any pressure. Even at the end of the game when everyone in the stadium knew they were gonna pass.

I wouldnt say the pass rush was there the whole game in the sense that Green was hit every other play, but he very rarely got to just sit in the pocket and pick us apart. He was flushed and had to move around just about every pass today. All of his INTs came under some sort of duress.

Marketed inprovement over last year, to say the least

BUT once again the Fin O line is pretty lousy. So getting pressure on him....

So if I could wave a magic wand and make either Fergy or Ellis completely healthy, which one would you want back, assuming you could pick only one?

Rarely saw any pressure? LOL.

What I am happy about right now.......our rookie kicker, Nick Folk. This guy has been money so far and some of the kicks have not been gimmies. That clutch 47 yarder to get us up by 10 was fantastic.

You know once we get into the big games, field goals are going to be the difference.

We did well to get out there with this win! Any time you can go on the road and get a win is great. The D played better, but they have work still to do. I think our confidence is building, and I see a little swagger about them. I like it!

Now if we can just get Flozell to stay still on the line:banghead:

Straight up the middle too. Who ever drafted this guy is a genius.

I am happy as a nympho at a gang bang. But we still have some concerns.

Exactly. I admit the pass rush needs improvement, but I'd rather have 5 picks than 5 sacks any day.
