Romo would approve of this uniform change.
Seriously, I was hoping one of our guys would get a good hit on Brady. Big Al did not disappoint.
I wouldn't overreact about the penalty in the Broncos/Bears game. I've noticed all preseason that the refs are making bad calls and being VERY touchy on calls.
Not only do they need to get back into game shape like the players, but I really believe the league has them call extra penalties to emphasize the rule changes or rules the league wants players to notice more. These are calls that probably won't be made in the real games, but the league and officials just want to remind the players about the rules and curb any potential infractions during the regular season, especially involving QB hits. They just want the players to think before making certain kinds of hits.
I hope I'm right about the explanation of so many "crap" calls against us and other teams this preseason...remember the phantom Hall penalty in the Steelers game? He was obviously not making a late hit, but was called for one.
