That one penalty on Thomas for a blow to head really irked me. I know they call it by the letter of the law but Thomas did try and pull up and it wasn't intentional. But back to the original post, I was pretty impressed with DLaw and Jaylon. They responded well to shut up people like me that was dogging them.
he played well. against a scrub team....that's to be expected when you play against lesser opponents. however, he is paid elite money and considered to be elite and yet he doesn't produce at that level. he has to show up against better teams and better opponents. in the last 12 games before giants he had 0.5 sacks.
1 on the year can’t be right though.
While true....shouldn’t whoever play the Giants every week be #1 every week?To be totally realistic, D-Law's and Aldon Smith's performances were against the Giants' OL.
Let's see how they'll manage to make out against Arizona's OL, before getting awfully cocky.
I'm not saying that. But look at our tackle situation.....Aaron Donald got fat off our offensive line. Guys every week do. You still have to actually do it. I had zero faith they'd do anything against the Giants.
We were due to improve on defense, especially vs. a division opponent. Our defense was bound to look better against their weak offense. I'm sure Arizona will be a greater challenge. Here's hoping we'll have another surprise in store. We're the underdog this time by 2.5 points, so there's that.
Aye, "Giants aren't much of a challenge" may be true. But our D looking better than their weak O thing goes both ways mate. I think our D made their O look pretty dang good, in fact, they had their best showing so far. My wifey is a Giants fan and I told her before the game that this could be their best Off performance all season long. I believe JG was also out to prove something. I felt like he pulled out every trick in his book. I recall pre snap motion, misdirection, screens. Things that seem to give this D fits.We were due to improve on defense, especially vs. a division opponent. Our defense was bound to look better against their weak offense.

We better bring our A game this week. Going to need it. If we don't improve, Arizona will drop another 30 plus on us. And i am just not sure that AD can match that score. Hate to do it, but I have us losing this one, Dallas - 27ish, A's - 35ish. Hopefully I am wrong. I am intersted to see what AD can do now that he is getting 1st team reps.
For the the last decade + we have been setting all kinds of historical firsts... and not the good kind. When players and teams are hitting slumps. They play us and we make them look like world beaters. Our qb has consecutive weeks of around 500 yards (in addition to our run game) and yet we still lose. Something must change. If anything, Daks record weeks shows that paying him 38 mill a year is not a good idea. He has put up awesome numbers, yet we aren't winning. We must do something to our defense.
