Funny thing is, if the Cowboys win you will have some "hell yea we won" posts and if they lose there will be some "ha! You lost!" posts.

Happens every year. :lol

Considering 90% of the game will be third-stringers, it's hard to get real excited, but it's still great to have some damn football to watch again. :hungry:

Go Cowboys.

Actually, that does excite me. I'm kinda stoked to see what Jesse Holley, Stephen McGee, and some of the others do in game situations. Now, of course, the final score means nothing...but it'll be good to watch these guys under the lights, to see how they perform under pressure.

It's strange...he's looked decent in camp, but he's been afraid to let loose and throw the deep ball. Guy's got a cannon, but we haven't seen it yet. If he gets some courage under the lights, he might let loose...but we'll have to see. He's got a good arm and good accuracy, from what I've seen in camp.

Use all 3. I expect Fargas to miss a lot of games cause he is always hurt. There should be no reason for any of them to rush for over 1,000 unless one of them has an unbeavable season.

yeah..I'm stoked about Barber, Felix and Tashard...should have a hell of a season. I hope Oakland gets back near the top where they belong. NFL is better when teams like GB, Dallas, and Oakland are at the top..the legendary teams.

Preseason always reminds me of that time the Raiders went 4-1 in 2006 but only had 2 wins in the reg season and during the Super Bowl, they always have those hindsight commercials. They had that one that said "The Raiders won 4 preseason games. No way they don't make the playoffs" I lol'd.

McGee has looked pretty impressive.

Considering he's a rookie playing with 2nd and 3rd string offensive lines and receivers, not too bad. No horrible turnovers. He might have had a touchdown pass if the receiver in the end zone had kept running the same direction instead of stopping to point out he was open.

I hope he succeeds in the NFL, he was a good leader in College Station and seemed like a nice guy.

Here are my thoughts...

Our second series is basically what we're gonna have to do the whole year in order to be successful. Run the ball, control clock and live off playaction

Our first series showed exactly the opposite.

Our defense looks like they just need more practice in games. We were in the right spots but weren't making plays.

Felix looks like he will be a beast

God forbid we lose anybody this season because our lack of depth is extremely scary and glaringly obvious

2nd half was just ugly for both teams and was only good to watch for some comedy but nobody on the field in that half will see the field in the real season.

One thing that still bothers me is the fact that our execution still looks as sloppy as last year. The Cowboys look like a high school team compared to others in the league the way they run their plays. Eagles, Colts, Pats, and Steelers execute their plays to perfection and we still look sloppy like last year and unfortunately i expect the same result. 8-8 or 9-7 until Wade gets fired :(

We could lose 40-0, and it wouldn't take away the excitement of that being the first football game played in Jerry World. This is sweet.

Now I'm just working to get press credentials for future regular season games. That will REALLY make my day.

Good game from the Raiders. I was very pleased all around. Their first unit was solid. Russell looked very crisp and accurate, hitting his recievers between the numbers consistently. McFadden looked healthy and explosive as ever. Schillens looks VERY solid. There was a play that he fell to the ground when making the catch, and jumped back up in about .0000000001 seconds which was very impressive. Huff looked solid, although it sucked for him that he was called for that ticky tack interference penalty. As long as he can keep making tackles, he should be able to win his job back. Bush looked healthy and peppy. The defense played well, and there was at least a little more blitzing out of them than usual, which was nice to see.

I don't care about that final score, I just wanted to see the first and second units perform well, and they both did.

Funny thing is, if the Cowboys win you will have some "hell yea we won" posts and if they lose there will be some "ha! You lost!" posts.

I agree the only way the cowgirls will win is if they run the ball and utilize the play action. Either way the first unit looked pretty bad.........well either that or the Raiders def is that good.

Observations from Cowboys - Raiders:

The Good

* Romo looked sharp and I liked how he spread the ball around to his playmakers in the 2nd possession.

* The first team offense, after a shaky first possession, showed it has some serious weapons on the 2nd possession. Felix Jones, Marty B, Barber and Whitten all made some great plays.

* The starting O-Line looked competent but penalties are starting to reel their ugly head again. The holding penalty by Kosier on the 1 yard line was inexcusable.

* I liked Brooking's blitz from the linebacker position, he seems to have some explosion to the QB. I think Zach Thomas would have whiffed on that sack of Russell.

* Sam Hurd looks to be back to his preseason form from last year. I think he has a good chance to be either the 2nd or 3rd WR on this team. He certainly moved up a notch in front of Miles Austin after that Crayton-esque drop in the open field.

* Tashard Choice, even behind some bad 2nd team blocking, is showing he has some nice skills for a 3rd string back. It was a shame his long run was brought back because of Hurd's holding penalty.

* I think Kitna showed in his limited time that he is 100 times better than Brad (Grandpa Checkdown) Johnson ever was in his time here.

The Bad

* Isiah Stanback (Burrito) is a failed bit at kickoff returns. He doesn't have any explosiveness and seems to run into the pile. I am starting to think we should have kept Hawkins from '4th and Long', he looked like he had some serious return skills. I'm hoping Felix (the Scat) is the opening day return man.

* 11 penalties for 109 yards? So much for stricter Wade instilling discipline into these guys. This is the same error prone bunch as last year.

* We had better hope the starting O-line doesn't suffer any major injuries, our backups are horrible. I don't understand how Cory Proctor continues to keep his job, he is a toll booth as a blocker and his costly shotgun snap in the goal line was inexcusable.

* The 2nd team O-line weren't the only spares out there, our 2nd team defense is almost as bad. They got absolutely no pressure on the QB and were shredded in the secondary by the likes of Bruce Gradkowski. Mickens, Ball and Brown have a big bag of nothing. BTW, Darren Mcfadden is going to be a stud this year.

* Was '4th and Long' really that much of a time waste? Jesse Holley didn't see the field until 5 minutes left in the game. He couldn't have sucked any worse than Willie Reed or Kevin Ogletree could he?

* Did any of our draft picks from last year do anything positive? I guess Mcgee wasn't a huge embarrassment but is definitely a work in progress. Buehler had a nice touchback? This draft class is looking more and more failed.

Overall, this was a very disappointing performance and reeked of the end of 2009. No funeral...

Can't really take anything from the 1st preseason game since it's the first football game for these guys in months except the depth is extremely inexperienced. Let's hope for progress through the next ps games.

The first series was horrible, the second one was a lot better

The problem was the defense. The Raiders had such a shitty offensive attack yet we still allowed them to march down the field.I think they forgot to turn the calendar from December

After watching the game two things occurred to me. 1) The Cowboys need to add a veteran corner. There's still some guys out there that can help shore up this young and inexperienced group. If injuries happen, I'm not confident at all with the young guys. I know it's one game, so maybe if they don't pick up their game in the second preseason game, then it's time to bring someone in. 2) I think the receiver position will be just fine. I still think they will miss T.O. and his production, but I think if Romo can spread the ball around like he did during the second drive, they can put up some numbers. Using all your weapons would be a great benefit, and that's what I saw out of the second drive. Using MB24, Felix, Bennett, Roy, Crayton, Hurd, Austin, and of course Witten will be fun to watch.

I've been a Cowboys fan for over 20 years now. I'm usually pumped for the new season. But, I simply don't care anymore. Jerry should have dumped Wade along with TO and Pacman. Keeping him sets us back another year.

Preseason is preseason. But we got beat down by the Raiders. Simply inexcusable. Lack of depth at a few positions is going to cost us.

As someone who has been a Cowboys fan for over 30 years, I have seen too many preseasons to get worked up over. Besides, if you have been a Cowboys fan as long as you say you have, you should know that bad preseason usually equals good season and vice versa! :) Remember the 1-15 year, they were 4-0 in the preseason!! :lol

If they did this in the regular season...that is something to worry about. Have faith brother. :tu

BTW, I do agree with you about Phillips....the team will have to win in spite of him.
