1. We won. Everything else is commentary.
2. I think the Cowboys are a pretty good team, so this was a quality win.
3. I thought McVay did a very good job of game planning to take the Cowboys pass rush, which is formidable, out of the game for the most part.
4. Not a ton of holes for the running backs, but I thought they did a good job of ensuring that we had positive yardage on virtually every play.
5. You have to love Malcolm Brown. 6th Round pick... playing behind a franchise back for his first 5 years... RBs drafted every year to essentially take his job... and he's not only still there... he's thriving.
6. Jared Goff had a solid outing. The INT was obviously not his fault (should have been a 15 yard penalty) and there were a few (Everett, Jefferson, Brown) drops.
7. The deep throw to Jefferson was a thing of beauty.
8. Yes, that was offensive pass interference. Textbook, really. They "surprised they would call that at that point in the game" take is silly. The rules are the rules.
9. Aaron Donald really messes with opposing teams' game plans.
10. Michael Brockers had a nice game.
11. Jordan Fuller - what a huge play for the rookie!
12. Leonard Floyd did a good job rushing the passer.
13. Seeing Jachai Polite in a tight 4th quarter on the field and pressuring the QB was pretty remarkable. There's talent there... hope he continues to show it.
14. Sam Sloman's first FG attempt was pretty ugly. Jury's still out on that one.
15. The new stadium is impressive. Really impressive. Can't wait to see it full.
16. I thought the new uniforms looked pretty good. Still would have preferred making the throwbacks permanent, but you can't always get what you want.
17. Taylor Rapp's limited role was surprising. I suspect it was situational, to a large degree, but its not what you want to see in a promising second year player.
18. Overall, you have to like the Game 1 contribution of the rookie class.
19. The piped in crowd noise was interesting. I found myself forgetting that there were no fans in the stadium. I'm sure the players didn't feel that way.
20. Its been a long offseason. I really needed this one!
