Regarding Coles and Gardner:
I think it is unrealistic to expect a WR to catch every single ball that is thrown to them that is catchable. We are all human and have bad days. Some more than others. Some might not remember but Gary Clark (one of the best WR's in Redskins history) had the same problem of dropping an occasional easy catch. He had at least one drop of an easy catch a game. My friends and I used to say, "oh good he got the drop out of the way and he will kick ass for the rest of the game."
I also think Brunell and Gardner had a lot of real game rust to shake off and it looks like they did it. Brunell missed most of last year. Gardner was ignored and hung out to dry for two years under Spurier. It looks like they shook off the rust and are ready to play well now. Plus the Dallas defense is no joke. They did well against on of the best defenses.
