My thoughts on The Dallas Game

So it's been a long while since I have made a blog post. The Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played an amazing season opener on Thursday Night. Here Are my thoughts on the game

Dak Prescott is back
Dak Prescott was back in the saddle, and he looked great. First game back since he was injured in Week 5 and had to miss the rest of the season. He threw for 403 yards And 3 touchdowns, and threw one interception that went through the hands of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. He even took the run/pass option! Dak Is back at 100 percent. This loss is not Dak's fault, but rather inept coaching playing for the Field Goal instead of trying for the endzone.

Tom Brady looks better than ever
Tom Brady found his buddy Rob Gronkowski for two touchdowns in the game, just like in the Super Bowl. Brady threw two interceptions, including on a Hail Mary right before halftime.

Cowboys Kicking Woes Continue 
Greg Zeuerlein missed a couple of kicks that he should have made, and I am not including that 60 yard long kick either. Z missed an extra point way leftward, indicating to me he is still battling that groin injury. He was healing up all preseason and did not try any kicks until then. Hopefully he uses his off time until the next game vs the Chargers to heal.

Cowboys Defense Seems better
The Cowboys defense seems at least somewhat improved. They intercepted Tom Brady twice, and took The Bucs down to the wire. Yes the defense gave up 31 points, but this defense will only get better on defense once Kelvin Joseph gets healthy.

The Cowboys next game is on the road vs the Los Angeles Chargers.
