These new rookies on special teams will take some time to acclimate.
But, heartbreaking loss aside, there was a lot of good signs. The defense was outstanding, and the offense could move the ball well enough it was just that the penalties and couple freak bonehead plays that killed them. They ran well, Romo threw well, Dez contributed, Miles blew it up. Don't think other teams can count on missed kicks, 7 point gifts, and Witten blocking every week.
It's the Beast, there's going to be games like this every year. Just be thankful our missing lineman will be back shortly, then we can get Barron off the field and get Witten out of pass protection.
