My biggest concern remains the O line.

Brees could have easily lost 3 INTs last night due to pressure.


The offense is my worry. And I hear people saying we're two years away. If we had a solid offense we could get it done this year. We won't have a schedule like this in a while. And a great defense isn't guaranteed 13 wins against the NFC North and AFC East divisions in 2017.

The oline is probably gonna be inconsistent from week to week so the way to offset that is weeding out the bad seeds on offense. With Cooks drawing top coverage, Colston's mistakes we cannot afford. We should not live and die with Colston. Snead needs to start getting looks in the redzone so our drives do not stall.

And 2 of Dallas' drops wouldn't even have been possible if not for defensive holding.

They weren't holding the O lineman!! :p

I'm concerned about a lot of things especially looking at an OT win at home vs a team minus its best player, QB, stud MLB and a few others

O-line really got pushed back all night and was I surprised Brees didn't go down more or have 3-4 picks

What the hell was with the defensive penalties? I'm not a Browner fan. Don't if we more later, but at one point they said we had 6 def penalties for first downs

It's a start. We still have to answer a lot of questions.

Snead's rapid improvement will help Cooks. I think Cooks will have a big second half of the year when teams realise Snead's threat.

Yeah but this same team of Cowboys blew open to a 21 point lead on Atlanta and lost. They ran all over the Falcons - supposedly the hyped cinderella team. Romo or not, Dallas has a big o-line and big d-line. Falcons didn't blow them out "Romo-less" nor did we.

Penalties - we have a LOT of rookies starting. Browner - he came from the Pats knowing 1) he makes 1 or 2 key plays per game, and 2) he commits about 2 key penalties per game.

:bng:

Those penalties kept our D on the field repeatedly and kept the Cows in the game, against better teams we are toast. It appears that's the way Browner plays and he becomes more of a liability.

Yeah and if we would have had the Dome Patrol on defence Romo would have crapped his pants. Coulda woulda shoulda.

You can only beat the team that you play everything else is just speculation.

Browner had a solid play on that stop.
