The Good
-The defense was relentless and only gave up one first down in the first half
-The Cowboys have a sideline to sideline LB in Overshown that dude can move
-CD doesn't look rusty at all
-Solid job by Guyton, Beebe, and Carson making their first start in the NFL
-Aubrey is the man
-I was waiting for Turpin to do that
-Micah and the front four are going to be a tough match up for every team this year
-The Browns are more undisciplined than the Cowboys thanks to all the penalties
The Bad
-Horrible start to the game, a penalty and sack given up by Zack Martin
-Too many field goals especially after having great field position after the Kendricks int
-The Cowboys 2nd half offense, they had a chance to step on the Browns' throat but they didn't
-Aubrey should have tied the all time longest field goal record but nope
-Please let Ferguson be ok
The Ugly
-Once again the Cowboys can't get out of their own way with all the penalties
Next Week
-The Cowboys should have a much tougher game against the Saints who were pretty impressive themselves yesterday

There really isn't any bad to take out of this game. I don't know why you need to step on their throat when you're up as much as they were. Just don't screw it up, at that point.

I don't believe the Saints, in Dallas, are tougher. Their offense is marginally better than Cleveland's, but they also have a poor OL and are much weaker on defense.

People are forgetting the Browns defense was the best in the NFL last year. Yes they had to settle for field goals but this was against a top 3 defense. They weren't going score 5 td's on this team. I thought they moved the ball for most of the game when they had to.
This Browns team went 8-1 last year at home and it was mainly their defense, they lost Chubb early last year so he wasn't a part of their success last year.

I thought he looked pretty stout at the POA and looked like he was able to disengage a couple of times, but nothing flashy.

He really gives absolutely 0 juice as a rusher.

Good write up. I also don't really fear the Saints right now though.
