NFL Week 1 Pros/Cons for your team

Pros:
The Raiders have 9 new starters on defense and they did a solid job overall. The secondary looked pretty weak at times, not being able to cover Reggie Wayne and not being able to get a stop on 3rd downs but for 9 new starters I was really satisfied with the performance.
Terrell Pryor - Gave the Raiders a shot to win the game but ultimately lost it. There is no reason why he shouldn't take every snap this season barring an injury. Let this kid finally get some experience.
Darren McFadden - Ran hard, made some nice plays, and held onto the football. This guy is a top 5 running back when he's 100% healthy. Unfortunately, he's never 100% healthy.
Cons:
None really. They lost the game but whatever. I'm happy with a 4 point loss on the road to a team that made the playoffs last season. This is what Raiders fans have come to appreciate.Comment

Pros
LeSean McCoy is finally the focal point of this offense
Defense was aggressive, tackled well, and didn't have any major breakdowns in coverage (until about 1:30 of the 4th quarter)
Team looked prepared and plays got in on time.
Trent Cole was all over the field.
Cons
Let off the gas way too early, although I think that might of been done out of necessity.
I have questions as to whether or not they can keep this pace.
As much as I love seeing Shady get the rock, 31 carries is way too much. If the plan is to run the ball as much as they did Monday night, Bryce Brown needs to have a bigger part in the offense, and Chris Polk needs to contribute.Comment

LeSean McCoy is the quickest/shiftiest back I've seen in a long time. I don't know where this whole "Shady" McCoy nickname started but I think "Shifty" McCoy is way cooler and more fitting.Comment

Your defense played very well, and actually scared me. That is definitely something to be happy about for Dallas.Comment
