Even Theisman going against us.

Matty, a look at the scoreboard shows where we're different. The Cowboys scored many TDs and we didn't score one. SD's defense isn't great, but it certainly isn't bad. I'm worried about getting TDs. I think we can get FGs. In good news, Bledsoe DID throw some balls to questionable places and SD didnt take advantage, so hopefully we can do that.






Dallas also got breaks on penalties which turned a punting situation into a first down, not once, not twice, but 3 times.............that helped. And bad play calling in the red zone....they didn't give the ball to LT and Gates wasn't in the lineup. SD is weak up front no pressure on Bledsoe........

nfl.com says we're the #6 scoring defensse and the #26 scoring offense... points win games, not yards.

I'm talking about our total defense #2 and total offense #16. That's how you assess a team.

Sunra - we put up tons of yards against the Bears, we won with 3 FG's. It's been our problem last year and so far this year. We're not aggressive enough to punch it in so far. Week 2 is always so important in defining a team, by then the flukes of week 1 can be exposed or get another solid win and make people realize.

We are aggressive enough to punch it in the endzone. Cooley's TD was called back because of his push off. Our offensive line played much better than last year and I do not expect alot of penalties to hurt their drives. As long as I've been watching football, week 4 is considered the time to see a teams prospect for that season. As far as I've seen from our offense, they have moved the ball affectively. The problem has lied on turnovers from our QB. I don't think anyone could have predicted the Colts to score only 10 points until the third or fourth quarter against the Jaguars. And Philly only scored 10 points as well. How about the great Brett Favre, not able to punch it in and his team settling with only 3 points for a loss. It can only get better for this offense as far as I'm concerned.

I think we're aggressive enough to punch it in...it's just that we were up against a very good defense. Yeah, we did have a TD called back and another possible TD in which Cooley either ran too short of a route or Brunell under threw the pass (either quite possible.) Point is, we are doing more than running three plays up the middle when we got into scoring territory, so I just believe it was a mixture of a great defense from the Bears, and us finding out our strengths.

I'm talking about our total defense #2 and total offense #16. That's how you assess a team.

if you don't think any other stats matter maybe, but scoring matters to me, as does wins and losses.

I know I want to get rid of this feeling of uncertainty each week come game time. It's a kind of sinking feeling I never had before when Gibbs was coaching here. It comes from us not being able to score points, and it's miserable after feeling that feeling all last season and this one not starting off much better.

Not being able to score a touchdown in our home opener is misery, and I think that's why we don't see the optomism here that we feel we should. Let's hope tomorrow night is the night we get the blanket off the offense and score some points. If we score twenty one points or more I think we have a good chance at winning.

Chicago after seeing them for a couple weeks, is showing that they may have a powerhouse defense this year, San Diego for all the talk of there defense has not shown all that much over the past couple of weeks, so if San Diego could have a close game with them with a so so defense then we should be able to dominate the Cowboys.

We may not be able to score agianst them offensively real easy, but i can see us scoreing defensively agianst them.
