Unimpressed so Far

Wow, I rarely come away from a win feeling like we got lucky. Six turnovers and we still almost lost?? So much for our so called "new" offense. It looked pretty much the same to me, along with the penalties(albeit fewer of them).

The defense was ok, considering we are missing a few players. Thank goodness for Selvie or it could have been the opposite score.

The offense, what to say......I am at a loss for words ATM. NY did bring the house often and the line held up decently, but the play calls left a bit to be desired.

I know a win is a win, especially with these two teams but they have to sharpen and clean it up. Too many short passes for my liking and they need to get Dez more involved, the sooner the better. T. Williams made some good plays and more bad plays, put Harris out there for now.

Two more penalties on Witten, that has to stop! Three points out of the first three turnovers is ridiculous. We got lucky that NY was more of a mess than we were.

Shapen up or it will be a long season :(

Garrett made it clear that romo has the options if they are doubling dez and he had a mixed bag in finding other WRs but Twill didnt help him out on that INT.

I'm impressed by the D. The Offense is clearly still a work in progress.

Its week one. Sure, tonight was frustrating and should have been easier but we won against a division rival.

The entire game was straight up weird. It felt like it was played in the Twilight Zone......

The offense isn't going to play this poorly every week. The defense isn't going to force 6 turnovers every week. It's a win against a division rival. Man some people are NEVER happy. You must live a miserable existence. Enjoy it.

How anyone can be unimpressed after a hard fought win like that is completely beyond me. I really enjoyed that game. And I was really impressed with that Giants D, when I didn't expect to be. That team was a good team we just beat, and they were ready to play us. We led from whistle to whistle, and controlled that game. We controlled their running game, got turnovers, and we played well on STs. All three areas I was concerned about going in.

This looks like a team that could go 8-8 or 11-5, depending on health and how the ball bounces, which is exactly what I thought it'd be.

I kept figuring we would blow it especially when Manning got the ball back twice with under six and only down six.

I was worried, too. These Cowboys/Giants games the last few years have been just epic games. Every one of them. I thought we'd give the Giants more than they could handle tonight. I should have known better. Thank God for David Wilson.

True that, the NYG offense is good too, the receivers and Eli connecting for 3 quick TDs in second half. How they do it with a makeshift OL , taking ware completely out, go figure.

hats off to the TO - D (turnover Defense ) lead by Sean Lee and Carr.

Six turnovers represented a five point difference in the score. If that doesn't suggest this wasn't some stellar win, then perhaps you need to look again.

Eli, who almost every poster slanders, just tossed for 450 yards and 4 TDs. He was a couple of plays from having the opportunity to win this in the last seconds even with the turnovers.

If you have no pass rush, you have no pass defense.

The offense could not turn the take aways into touchdowns.

This falls on the offensive line.

The team has been built where the strengths are contrary to what wins game consistently.

This win was as much luck as it was skill.

6 turnovers should have been a blow out - and give me decent RB Murray does not cut it
