  1. First and foremost, stop the STUPID penalties. We've gotten lucky so far - can't afford this to continue.
  2. Open up some holes for our RBs. It won't be easy - our opponents will be stacking the box and daring Weeden to beat them through the air. Return to your dominating form from last year and pound the rock even though they know it is coming.
  3. Keep Weeden clean. We cannot afford another injury to the QB position. He needs time to throw with our #1 threat out (even if it's dink-and dunk).
Our defense is stout (I think). Our QB is average now. If our O-Line can rise to the occasion, bring our running game back into prominence, and protect our #2 QB, we just might be able to weather the upcoming storm. They have the opportunity to step up and take control of this entire season. Time to MAN UP and go get it done !!!

hard to figure out now because with so many injuries and lack of preseason time together we did kind of expect this team to look rusty. But here we are 2-0 and best Cowboys football is yet to be played. I do want to know whats going on with Zach Martin. He does not look right.

If we are going to win the oline has to play much better than they did today
Opening holes aside, they have to stop the penalties with Weeden because he isn't capable of overcoming them

To be fair, these are the worst refs I've seen in my entire life. The Gavin Escobar TD...are you kidding me? My concern is the run blocking is absolutely putrid.

I wonder if the stinger he suffered in preseason is still bothering him? I would imagine it's having some effect on his play.

Broddius says he looked good last week and might have just gone up against a really good player Bennie Logan.

No doubt he did, but Martin is a great player. Logan is very good, but Martin should more than hold his own against him if he's healthy. I don't believe he is.

Martin is clearly not 100%; Free is rusty and Leary is out. So the Line not being the line of last season is a surprise WHY?

Lol, and no real argument on score here...but, the team has started a lot stronger than last season. That would be across the board, if not for the penalties that were added tonight.

Our OL just doesn't match up well with Philly. They should get back in the groove against Atlanta.

The penalties were pathetic. Some were ******** calls, but many were just due to ineptness.no excuse for that many.
