Thumbs up: For a little creativity and design in the area of ST's. For the running of both Betts & Cartwright behind a much maligned OL. The play of Levi Jones was stellar considering he hasn't played in a year, and has only been here two weeks.

Thumbs down: For the defense as a whole that played miserable for portions of the first half. Cudos to the coaches for sticking with the game plan, not getting away from the running game because of the early defecit.

Bottle the things we did right in this game and let them serve as a model for the remaining seven games.

Thumbs up to the whole damn team for giving us something to smile about, even if it's just for a week.
Amen to that!! :food-smil

Although I didn't watch whole game, but based on what I have seen;
Thumbs ups:
- O-line; they were definitely much better since maybe week 1 or 2? Levi Jones obviously became one of great pick-ups (so far?), also I thought Rinehart performed well?
- RBs; who would have think that without Portis in the line up, running game would be better.. At this point, I would love it if Zorn decides to make Betts #1 for rest of the season.. I'm impressed with Ganther, as well, he has done well, especially when he was signed two or three weeks ago..
- Receivers; I'm glad that all players (unfortunately, Mitchell wasn't involved except for his blockings) got involved in the game.. I hope this will continues throughout the season!
- Sherm; he may be good at bingo, but he definitely is helping our offense!
- DEs; Carter and Orakpo continue to be beasts, with help of Haynesworth and DTs..
- We finally snapped the 17- points! Although it's all because of Smith, but still..
- Special team; props to Danny Smith and Hunter Smith for creating the play and making it to happen!!

Thumbs down:
- Defense; what the hell happened? We are giving up big plays now, isn't that Landry's responsibility to stop the big plays? I'm absolutely disappointed in Rogers, I have always believed that he's our #1 CB but unfortunately, Blache isn't playing to Rogers' talent, which is bump and run (man to man).. I think we pretty much can expect our FO to let Rogers walk away, it is better that way anyway, especially with his egoistic.. Our running defense game wasn't so good neither..
- Campbell; although he did make some plays but he also missed some plays.. He overthrew some (e.g., Fred Davis and Moss on the bomb), missed Yoder for a touchdown (he was totally wide open).. But we still have to give him props for not giving up..
