PFF Week 4 Grades

Well, about what we thought, but a few surprises. Keep in mind grades between -1 and 1 are considered average.
(outside of +/- 3 is terrible)

DEFENSE
Played well
Bush 1.4
Haralson 1.1

Played Badly
Humber -5.0
Lofton -4.6
Jordan -4.5
Vaccaro -4.1
Galette -3.9
Byrd -2.2
Deaderick -1.7
Foster -1.3

OFFENSE
Played well
Robinson 2.0
Brees 1.7

Played Badly
Goodwin -4.4
Harris -3.6
Graham -2.9
Cooks -1.5
Cadet -1.1

Everyone else graded about average (neither good nor bad)

Galette, KVac, and Goodwin aren't surprises. B Harris is.

And I'm bettin' Jordan's, Humber's, and Lofton's very low grades has to do with Bunkley and Deaderick getting abused by the Boys' interior line. Can't believe BB didn't grade out worse than average.

Better than I expected...

On a related note: the Cowboys have built an O-Line like they had in the Aikman years...

I wouldn't go that far. That O-line group was about the equivalent of our Dome Patrol Linebacker group.

But yeah, Dallas is doing it right recently.

Combine the beat down last year with the return of key players and Dallas had more motivation and drive to win.

The fact remains, we were in the game until we have it away (missed FG, INT in own red zone).

We still had a legitimate chance until the abomination that was the fake punt...

Yeah. I don't mind that Payton went for it on 4th down and basically put the game on that one play, that's what he does and I like that we have a gambler as the play caller.

But that was a bad play. It was poorly designed, poorly executed and called when everyone and their grandmother was expecting it.

The only real surprise was just how bad it was.

DEFENSE
Played well
Nobody

Played Badly
Everybody

OFFENSE
Played well
Robinson 2.0

Played Badly
Everybody Else

Overall we get a rating "poo", and every player found (should have found) a pile of this in his locker:

Not entirely true, SF. We had our chances....

Which we blew, because we sucked, thus my "poo" rating. Sean and Rob should have received one of these apiece:
