Other than that gift INT, both looked pretty lackluster tonight.

Big props to Belichick/Pioli-continues to make the right movies...especially during tough times.

Dallas has an offense that will make the best secondary look average - They will be hard to stop come playoff time

Tough times? - Last time I looked New England was 2-0 thus far - Sure Brady's loss is horrific but Tough Times? - not at this point

You want tough times? St. Louis and Miami say hi

Don't miss him at all. Glad he 'got paid', just not by us

how soon we forget. defense wins championships. last year pats fans were reminded of that. we should know better. 2001 the greatest show on turf also bit the dust.

Well-Lito/Sheldon have given TO and our WRs matchup nightmares since Owens came to Dallas, FWIW.

I know Samuels is not a man-man shutdown corner, but when you add him into the mix with Lito/Sheldon, one would think this trio in one defensive backfield is pretty scary.

Like I said-I was shocked to see how poorly they played(although their safeties Dawkins, Mickels, and Considine looked worse). Sure, the Eagles couldn't generate much of a pass rush, but when you have a defensive backfield with Lito, Sheldon, Asante, and Dawkins, conventional wisdom says you have the luxury to do anything.

For two teams claiming to have defenses, that game was terrible. I thought team scores might hit 50 or 60 by the end of the game.

Other than a pick I thought anyone could make given the fact no Cowboy could have caught the pass thrown by Romo, I was not overly impressed by Samuel. I would have liked to see him flop much harder, but I think his role in that suspect secondary last night was good enough for now.

Seriously, those scores were like video game numbers!

That makes a more exciting game, I guess, but low scores should tell you something about defensive quality.

Would I like them? Sure, I still think either would be an upgrade. Were the Pats right not to pay too much when their priorities were in other positions? Almost certainly - after all that has been the key to the whole BB/Piolli era.

Where was the "vaunted" pass rush from either defense? With 93 seemingly healthy, can anyone say Dallas can compare with our front 3? I wonder if Dallas can play a game where they don't have 15 penalties.

I would have to say NY and Green Bay are the class of the NFC.
