Didn't do this thread last week as I was traveling and didn't have time, but figured I would start it back up for this one. Just got back from traveling today so just finished watching the game.
Good:
CJ - Dude was our MVP by far today. If he keeps playing like that, we could go a long way this season.
Sanders - Really solid game by him. Was making plays all over the field.
Siemian - While he made some mistakes, most notably his two turnovers, it's hard to leave him off this list with 4 TD passes. I am completely shocked with his level of play so far. I think he's setting himself up to be the QB from this year forward.
Run D - Obviously Dallas' running game is what you worry about, and they completely shut it down. Amazing effort, and really answered a lot of questions I had after week 1.
No Fly Zone - They just absolutely smothered Dallas' WRs all game. Great as always. Talib with the sweet pick 6 to cap it off.
Miller - I was ready to put him in the "bad" column halfway through the 4th quarter, but he had none of that. Finally broke his drought with 2 late sacks. He has to clean up those offsides penalties though. Jumping offsides 3 times just can't happen. Hopefully breaking the drought will settle him down.
Bad:
Bolles injury - That absolutely sucked. Hoping it's nothing major, but it does not look good. That is a guy we cannot afford to lose.
McManus - Two missed FGs in 2 games after getting that contract is worrisome. He really needs to clean that up.
And just as a conclusion to his post, you all know my thoughts on Dak, so I'm going to go over how I thought he played. All things considered, I didn't think he was all that bad. Our defense was just incredible all day and he really didn't have much time in the pocket or many open receivers. The first pick wasn't his fault, but the second one admittedly was bad, and Talib probably should have had 3 picks as he dropped 2. Dak also has 3 TDs if not for Witten dropping the one late.
Overall probably one of Dak's poorer games in his career statistically, but I don't think many QBs are going to do much better against this D this year.
My overall thoughts on the game...this team is looking scary. I was thinking 8-8 at best heading into the season, but I'm starting to feel dead wrong about that. The D is still awesome and the offense has been killing it as well. The Bolles injury is scary, but this still looks like a team that could go a long way.
