The Good News

[fanfromvirginia]

There was a lot of it:

• We won, obviously. The win puts us closer to the playoffs, closer to the divisional win, closer to a potential bye. It made us 5-3 on the road for the year. The win kept us from what would have been our first two-game losing streak. The win helped us bounce back from and hopefully get past the brutal loss to New Orleans.
• We came back and won a close one -- that's good experience and evidence of our ability to do something in the playoffs.
• We beat a decent team fighting to make the playoffs in their building. That's a quality win.
• Our offense was damn near great.
• Grammatica's FG was a great kick and great news.
• Romo came back from a poor game, played great, and spread it around. The latter is what's going to give opposing defensive coordinators fits going forward.
• Our clock management in the fourth quarter was a thing of beauty.
• Our D played well in the 4th when we really needed it.
• Ware was great again.
• Watkins showed promise.
• Carpenter showed promise.

I am not so sure about Watkins. But pretty much everything else I agree on.

Yeah, the jury's way out. I think it was the first game where he's had a couple noticeably good plays.

Is Demarcus Ware going to the Pro Bowl?

Is Demarcus Ware going to the Pro Bowl?

He better be.

 

[Unforgiven]

I did notice Carpenter a few times. He does seem to get near the QB some when he rushes. That's more than I can say for some others.

Is Demarcus Ware going to the Pro Bowl?

In the NFC Ware is #2 in sacks, #28 in tackles, #32 in total tackles amoung all LB's. The sacks might get him in but I don't think it is a sure thing.

The defense is very concerning, can we please cover the opposing teams fullback in the read zone please!!!!!

I'll never been unhappy with a victory. Last week was bad enough, we needed this one bad.

The bad news : el dorado is still on our team.

The bad news : el dorado is still on our team.

Would you rather have him been on the Falcons last night as open as they were getting, and Vick throwing him the ball?

Who are you, Gallowaste?

The thing I have noticed about Gramatica's kicks, including the 48 yarder last night, is that they would be good from the mid 50 yard range with ease. I really believe he will be a great pick up for us!

Fortunately, it won't come down to the tackles, assists, and stats in general. It'll come down to Ware being a football household name, highlight reels, etc.

He'll make it.

He also leads the NFC in TD's and Forced fumbles.

If the two TDs on national TV dont get him in, nothing will...

Grammatica's FG was a great kick and great news.

doesnt say much for our kicking the last few years when this is one of the highlights...
