There is a silver lining you know...



Man, I'm still wired from that game...tried to sleep, but haven't had much luck, so hell I'll just do some writing to clear my head...

I'm currently pissed at Romo. I just wished he didn't throw that interception to Revis. Dez was gimpy, and Romo should have known that. It was trying to do too much, which almost always gets you in trouble.

I'm not so much mad at the fumble, because he tried to make a play, and he did tuck the ball, but the Jets just made a play on it. A couple of plays earlier, he was the same guy who made a beautiful throw to Witten to get us to the 1 yard line...we shouldn't forget about that. In fact, Romo made more than a few great plays to get us a 14 point lead going into the 4th quarter. Are we even in this game without him...I don't know. But the dude threw all over the vaunted Jets defense...he averaged over 10 yards per throw, which is pretty incredible...

The blocked punt was huge...without it we still have a 4 point lead going into the final drive. Reality check was that we gave the Jets all they could handle and we were in it till the end...we lost, but you can make a case we outplayed them overall...

But the silver lining is that our...

1) Offense will put up a lot of points on the majority of the teams we face...who can guard our receivers?...our O Line looks like it's for real...

2) Our Defense isn't as bad as we feared and it actually looked pretty good...we actually thought the run defense ws going to be bad?

3) A whole bunch of guys made plays...the list is long...hell even role players stepped up...freakin McCann forced a fumble.

4) Against our NFC East competitors...we look pretty good.

I started the season with tempered expectations, so I wasn't as devastated by the loss. I've already stated that I wouldn't be surprised if we finished 8-8 or 12-4...I just don't know about this team...but I also stand by my initial predictions...if we get to the halfway point 4-4...I think we will be a dangerous team down the stretch.

Like Garrett always says...we just need to stack good days together...back to practice tomorrow to get better...
