That's a lot of responsibility given to a rookie who hardly practiced. And he's done very well with it. Great surprise.

I know you guys are breaking down the game everywhere and feel free to move this. Just DVRd the game and instead some music channel was on auto record (never get verizon fios, they couldn't even inform me of that pre recording). Missed every snap and see Brady had 500, seriously he decides to be aggressive fr the first game I miss all decade.

Who started on D specifically at safety and what where the big moments? Why did the D give up 24? Sorry but I'm pissed and need some closure before school tomorrow, it's been 7 months and I miss Brady's best game yardage wise. I need to find a copy this week.

He can play. The guy can play. I am happy with him. I hope we don't get a short corner again.

7 basically came off of a fluke int. Another 7 late in the game. Overall a good start for the D. Its only week one and they looked good outside of the first drive.

wait but he was injured early in camp and looked "lost" when he finally started practicing. I thought he was a bust?

Thanks, not bad, they should bring it at home vs a good SD offense.

Dowling & Solder's performances were rather pleasing tonight.

Please post your post game comments on this thread.

Good win on the road on opening day. Can't and won't find any fault at this time with this win

Dude, we gave up 400+ yards to Chad Henne. I don't care if he had to play catch up all game, that's unnacceptable. The word "good" should not be mentioned in the same sentece as "defense" today. Actually, the run defense was very solid, so the above basically applies to the pass defense only.
