I figured since everyone else wrote there opinions, why not mine....quickly...on the game.
I didn't watch it live. I was at work. I watched the computer demo on NFL.com and read the threads in here. I tivoed the game with the DVR my wife bought yesterday morning ($99.00 with a $100.00 dollar rebate at Best Buy. Should have done this long ago. It's great.).
Anyway, I'm a big Bledsoe fan and always have been, before he was a Cowboy. That being said, I was happy to see he didn't play as bad as some people on here had me believing. Not great, but not that bad. He really had little time to throw and almost no seperation by our receivers. We have bigger problems than Bledsoe. Monday night he will show better.
The starting Offensive Line was really bad. Especially Gurode and Pettite (SP). They won't be starting on this team this year. Jones had to fight for every yard he got, and Bledsoe was under constant pressure.
The starting WR's go no seperation on most plays. This is a spot where I am really concerned. Someone needs to step up here other than Witten. I think they will play better as well.
Bad game for Tucker, Gurode, Pettite, Keith Davis.
Good game for Fowler, Henry, Thompson, Ware, Steve? (I forgot) and Romo.
Brings me to my last point. I really saw something in Tony Romo last night. I am no longer worried about our backup QB position. I like Henson, but I expect Romo to make it clear by the end of next weeks game. This guy might be something really special. I hate to say this, but he reminds me of Brett Favre. His manorisms in the pocket, the way he moves. He's so smooth and carries himself around the field like he knows he will succeed. He seemed to know exactly where he was going with the ball everytime. The poor pass protection and lack of seperation didn't effect him as much. He was in there against the Cardinals #1 defense as well. He was extremely accurate, almost ridiculously accurate. He showed great velocity on his passes when velocity was necessary, and showed great touch when touch was needed. I never realized he had such a strong arm until I watched this game, and then read the article posted on this board. His arm may just rival Favres.
Anyway, I'm not your typical poster who rides the waves of emotion, but I was won over by Tony Romo last night. I'm not saying he should start over Bledsoe, but I think he will be the QB of the future for the Dallas Cowboys. It's just one game, but some things cannot be taught. He has something. I cannot explain it, but you can see it when he is on the field. Something I never saw from Carter, Hutchinson, Stoerner, Wright, or even Henson yet. It's different.
A quick point on Henson. I think he suffered from some bad playcalling, especially around the goal line late in the game. He had one on one coverage at the top, and they were calling screens. Not Hensons fault at all. He did pretty good, though I would have hoped for a little better against people who will soon be on the street. In his defense, he was playing with those same types of people. Not bad overall for Henson.
We always struggle in Arizona. I expect a better game all around next week.
