Cons:
- We have no dynamic running backs. Several "guys". But watching Hunt for a full game was a revelation. Skins are talent depraved in the backfield. Perine especially may not be a pro.

- Lack of discipline from Preston Smith proved too costly in too many crucial spots. He has potential to be a special player. But committing the same penalty more than twice means it's a habit.

- Doctson blew it obviously. Hope he learns.

- lost seemingly half of the defensive starters. Hope they get healthy on bye


Pros:
- Cousins made plays and singlehandedly put them in position to win on last drive. A deserved criticism in years past was he can't improvise. He improvised down the stretch and got them where they needed to be. Masterful, shame it ended how it did.

- can't sufficiently describe my enthusiasm for this defense. Norman, Allen, Ionnidis, Kerrigan, and Swearinger in particular seem bloodthirsty. Would dread playing them if I were an opposing offense. They gassed early in the 3rd and still hung tough with a bunch of reserves chipping in. Such an inspired effort by them tonight and through last three weeks in general.
