    This week's matchup between Dallas & Oakland should be fun.

    Dress rehearsal. Starters will likely play most of the first half.

    Hoping Cooper Rush gets some extended run to see if he's actually a capable backup or just benefiting from facing third string defenses.

    Interested to see if any defense can slow the opposing offense down. These are likely two top five offenses going head to head. Potential SB preview too.

    Our inside pass rush with Edwards and Vanderdoes is to be determined but there is potential. Secondary with the exception of Joseph is so-so at best but then again if we can't mount a decent pass rush up front it won't matter. Our linebacking crew makes me uneasy.

    Offense should not be a problem. Janikowski news is that he has back troubles and won't take a salary restructure... Was 12-4, now could be 10-6.

    Good news is that Jano will be staying... He would be the difference in some games won. 80% accuracy during his career alone.

    UGh... defense gave up 4 straight 3rd and long 1st downs then the TD. Giving long plays is not going to bold well for us

    a couple head scratching moments in the first half. 1st and goal without a single run. Had Seahawks flashbacks not using Marshawn at all even though he is averaging 3-5 yards a carry? Defense on 3rd and long this game? WTF! We have been burned 4 or 5 times with 3rd and long plays. Need to clean that up. Also no heat on Marriota so far. That line needs to get more pressure.

    Offense looks decent though. That last drive was nice. Wish we would of took a shot at the endzone before letting the clock run down. Kid made a great kick from 50+.

    2nd half!

    Defense showing up to start the 3rd. Finally got to Marcus and forced 2 punts. Offense needs to pick it up. A few too many drops so far.

    ah yea 2nd half we look much better. Defense made better plays. Still some horrible Zone coverage but not bad. Offense is looking decent although we just through it away on 3rd going to have to punt

    The kid has me sold... 3 long fieldgoals. First player ever to start a career with 2 50+ field goal makes.

    Great first game overall
