Heath and Jones stink, I call them the almost twins. Raise your hand if you think were not going anywhere with the long jump champ and the workout warrior starting.

The holding call was weak. I'm not sure the first hands to the face call should have been made either as the hands didn't go up into the face mask. I don't think they ever showed the replay of the second one.

It's preseason.
If this was regular season and we went into the half with this score, I would be okay. The Raiders are easily the second best team in the AFC, maybe the second best team in the NFL. We play them again in a few weeks so we are obviously vanilla(and so are they).
Losing Hitch is all I'm disappointed about. I could care less about a practice football game.

what's the definition of a great fan? Somebody who thinks everything the team does is awesome? Be honest. Tell me flat out you think this is a defense that can limit elite quarterbacks. You don't think Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan or Tom Brady would demolish this defense? Who do you think we're going to be playing in the playoffs?

This is the flip side of having an offense-dependent defense. When the offense is struggling, the defense is no help at giving them more opportunities.

This, but I think a lot goes on the DC who quite simply is not that hard to figure out.

Reality bites. We simply do not have the defense to win championships. Haven't in a long time. It killed Romo and it will kill Dak.

They're going to be paying him like the best right tackle starting next year. I'm willing to give him time but the thing is, he was not really that good at guard either. We got better when Leary took over for him. People overrate him because of where most mock drafts had him going. His performance on the field has been mediocre.

No, no reason to panic. But there are some areas that need to be cleaned up.
And others that are still in need of repair and that won't happen until next year.

Fair enough but there was a lot of stuff I saw that I did not like.

The defense requires the QB to be perfect all the time.

Biggest concerns -
- injury to Hitch
- miscommunication in secondary
- penalties on the OL
- lack of pressure from the front 4
- Witten still looks like a HOF TE
- Dak doesn't force things even when things don't come easily
- Jaylon and Lee are going to be fun to watch together
- Paea is going to be a good player for us
- OScan is back

I was expecting some issues.
I was not expecting sacks given up every half and three penalties per half. That is unacceptable.
The guy was never even really that good when he was between Tyron and Fred- He just isn't very good.
