Dallas line held frequently, especially on Houston when he blitzed. I think the defense is in better physical condition this year too, they just all seem to be in pretty good shape. As far as the noise goes, I was impressed at how loud it was, especially if 20 to 25% of the crowd was Cowboys fans. And coming off a season where we had only one home win last year, and tons of no-shows, and Fire Pioli Banners, etc etc etc, it was just a tremendous improvement in one years time. I felt like I got my money's worth yesterday, and that's important.

I was watching the game with Dallas fans and they ALL didn't see it either, in fact, they said Witten iniatiated what little contact there was on that play.

One more little note regarding Dez Bryant and Dwayne Bowe.
When Dez Bryant wasn't the primary option, I knew it immediately every time. When a throw was designed to go to the other side of the field, it was obvious by Bryant's 2nd stride. I was amazed by how openly and obviously Dez Bryant quits on plays that aren't centered around him. It makes it clear to me know why he hasn't destroyed the world yet - the guy has Megatron ability and never seems to put it together. Well ultimately, I think he's probably just lazy out there. Bowe, OTOH, was the same guy on every play. He blocked hard, ran his routes hard even when the play was going the other way and just competed on every snap. It was an interesting contrast in styles. Maybe someday Bryant will mature and play like that every snap, but I've never seen a guy so openly jake plays that aren't coming his way.

The only knock on him in my mind is that he's always getting injured. But yeah, he's a fine LT. And I love the leadership he's showing.

George, great OP. I will add, that while several were bitching that we "couldn't" score in the second half of the Jags game with the O, seeing the beginning of yesterdays game should reassure them that they were playing it safe. I don't think we've seen much of this offense yet. The two games were very different, as they should be against different looks, but the first half and second half were very different offensively.

This was a great win, a huge stepping stone, and I thoroughly enjoyed beating the cowboys!
But...our OLine needs to play a LOT better!!! We finally got some runs going in the 4th to the right side towards Asamoah/Fisher with a TE and FB to lead, but that was really it in the run game aside from Smith's scrambles. We do not want that to continue, unless you want to see Chase Daniel. And if you do, **** you! Well done as always sir!! Always enjoy your 10 things summary thread! Thanks!!! |

Weirder things have happened. I'm thinking 8-8 and anything beyond that is wonderful. We had the first pick in the draft, folks. Remember where we are coming back from, which is the absolute bottom.

You have to take chances. You can’t keep running this short dinky offense.” Why is he not critical of Reid/Pederson then? |

Yet another highly enjoyable read, #2 was particularly interesting, very glad to hear about that kind of vocal, proactive, level headed leadership from Albert... thats something this team hasnt really had in a long time.

I'm not really ready to concede the AFC West just yet, but even if we do, are there enough AFC teams that are head and shoulders above the Chiefs right now to proclaim the playoffs are out of reach?
