Well for one of the few times since Gibbs return I saw a game plan that was worthy of his talents, we threw the ball like we should, if this continues teams will start backing off the line of scrimmage opening up the run game a little more, the fact is dropped ball were responsible for this lose, if we just make the reasonable catches we win by a minimum of 14 points, add into that Taylors inability to make a routine INT and this game could have been a blow out in our favor. I had maybe one gripe about play calling and that was the 4th and 2 play where we cleared out the backfield and threw the ball in the flat and got nothing you have to make the LB's respect the run there with play action if you plan on throwing, other than that I had no problem. The end around to Moss was and is something we should be doing more often with him and ARL, the fact that he fumbled isn't Gibbs fault. I feel considering we had a decimated O-line the coaching should get an A+ for the game plan, the players definitely lost this one big time!

Portis's possible problem? It's this simple for 2 years he was racking up numbers in a RB friendly system, he became a legend in his own mind and many others, couple that with Gibbs willingness to pay him 52 mil, and give away the best CB in the league well that just cemented that thought, now everyone is seeing what Portis really is a nice change of pace type back, he is not built to carry the work load on a consistent basis, the fact is he is a media personality and he receives plenty of hype for that, but he is vastly overrated as a RB.

As far as Aikman goes he has always been very fair with his comments on game day about us, I believe he does a great job on our games with a tremendous insight on what is right and wrong on the offensive side of the ball, unfortunately there are to many out there who want to here how great we are 24-7, to say other wise is blasphemy, so he gets lambasted because he played for the cowboys, he's been as unbiased towards us as you could ask for, in fact I have felt in the past that he may even go out of his way to be fair as to not be taken biased because he was a cowboy, I for one hope he continues with our games.
