Honestly, Monday Night games blow! I hate waiting all day, plus up late, plus we aren't a great Monday Night team.
As for the game, I am glad that it will be us against their starting lineup (minus Miles). It really is a test of where we stand as a developing team. I also hope Romo plays the whole game, mainly cuz I hate backup quarterbacks. I expect a good showing tonight, the key will to not let them get a quick strike or two early. Their team is built for the vertical game, and although it's tempting to blitz, I think we are better off letting 4-5 rush and focus on capitalizing on Romo's mistakes, which he will make. We need to have someone lock down Witten to, although I am not sure we have a one on one defender that suits that task. Their running game has been non-existent, but part of that was the San Fran defense.
Hope to see one or two (or more) good defensive scores/turnovers, and Rex needs to be careful with his throws. Also, their young LB Sean Lee has been a tackling machine, so we need to be aware of that on cutbacks and when the OL get to the second level.
I think this is a step up in competition for both teams. That said, I predict we have the lead going into the 4th quarter, but it will be a nailbiter (again
)
