I am not a self appointed expert thinking they know it all
Calling everyone that disagrees a hater
coming from someone that never puts down the kool aid
Lol, I like good football and enjoy it.

offense t tyler guyton...myles garrett really wasn't a factor and was not allowed to take over the game...which he does routinely.

defense overshown...the tazmanian devil was a F5...all game long.
the LBs as a group impacted this game with hurricane force.
overshown led the way.

we are in good hands with these young guns...for a long long time.

Overshown was a revelation. He may have been the best Cowboy on the field aside from Parsons.

Guyton was fine. He got owned, but Myles Garrett owns the average NFL tackle, so Guyton actually looked like he belonged. To put it in perspective, he got 1 sack and 1 QB hit vs Guyton. His average is 0.9 sacks and 1.7 QB hits per game, for each of his last 90 games.

Overshown and Kendricks had the biggest impact on the defense. On the offense, I was disappointed with the second half of the game. In the first half, I was pleased with Dak and CeeDee. Zeke did well, as did Cooks.

We started slowly on offense last season if I remember correctly. It took them 3-4 weeks and they took off.

I agree, I was disappointed in the 2nd half offense. But I believe McCarthy just called it super conservative and not to lose or turn the ball over.

I remember early season blowouts last season so I wouldn't call that a slow start on offense.

there was legitmate worry that Kendricks might not have a lot left in the tank and that Overshawn had yet to play a game
Now I know for those always looking to shill for Jethro that seems unreasonable
Agree, Kendricks and Overshown were both exceptional. It's really refreshing for a change to see such great play by our linebackers.
