The funny thing is going into this season the two units everyone was freaked out most by was OL and DL. Up to this point of the season the D-line has looked like one of the most dominant units in the NFL. The O-line has been solid at worst all season and has actually been pretty damn good at times.

Now our D-line is getting older and it is thin so obviously I'm not saying that we don't need to add some players there after this season. Basically the O-line is in the same situation. We need depth and someone to replace Waters after this year.
Ayuh.

One more thing I liked about today...we huddled on offense and we were much smoother.
I'm guessing there was an emphasis from the coaching staff to stick with the gameplan and not audible so much.

When you're running the ball like we did and you're moving up and down the field, it makes it a lot easier to stick with the plan and stray away from the no huddles, audibles, etc.

Robert Quinn was no factor.
The O-line as a whole today was great. They did a tremendous job in the running game and they were excellent in pass protection. The one time Romo was sacked he really held the ball too long.

Have been skipping around the game recording, and Doug Free had a very good game from what I can see. He looked good in passpro, and even looked strong at the point of attack and was quick getting to the second level in the run game. Hope he can keep it up. His confidence was completely destroyed last year. So far this year, he looks to be getting better with each game.

Chris Johnson average almost 5 YPC today, so I'm hoping we stick with the run even if it isn't firing early because I think we can eventually start wearing them down.

The 49ers and bad ass Kaepernick aren't so impressive anymore.

Every fanbase is like that.
I agree. We just have more of them because our fanbase is so huge, so it's more prevalent.

Yep. The "their fanbase" or "our fanbase" rants are funny. Stupid and funny. Every fanbase has it's knowledgeable fans, and their idiots. Nobody is immune.

I do realize I'm not part of the moronic segment.
Says who? You? You're not part of the moronic segment because you say so? I'm not saying you are, but I'm sure the so called morons don't feel they are, either.
