I know, I'm just beaten down by years of shit and then when it finally looks like we have a team that can make some noise, a huge chunk of our players are out because of injury. I just don't have confidence the O/Weeden can get us any W's. That slide by Weeden on 3rd and 1 instead of at least throwing the ball away sealed the deal on my opinion of him, that was horridly stupid and came across as just plain scared.
So i think its gonna take the defense and special teams to win in spite of the offense, who have looked like shit even with Romo in the games (with the exception of that first half yesterday and the last two drives vs NY).
On a side note, it also pisses me off to see Julio torch whatever team he plays despite what the defense does to stop him yet Dez can apparently be completely taken out of the game at stretches at a time. Either Dez isn't as good as advertised or somethings fucked up with the play calling.
I also don't like our finesse running game, Atlantas back up RB beat our defense to hell like Murray did to teams last year and while I was for restraint when it came to not signing Murray, I don't like that we don't have a punishing runner to wear down opposing teams defenses and make them think twice about making tackles. I also think our online is better when they're run blocking and that wears on a defense as well. Using dump off passes in lieu of running doesn't allow our big nasties to take i to the D-line. That kid for Atlanta ran hard and mean, I miss that.
