i'd have to agree with gov135. missed tackles are huge! if you wrap a guy up properly, he shouldn't be able to break loose. sure, it's bound to happen that you just couldn't get the guy, but i think gov135 is talkin about the obvious ones, which i see all the time. get's f'n annoying when you're watching your team play, and they keep missing tackles that should be easy as pie.
as for penalties? come on now. just because it's only the first game of the season, doesn't mean they should be givin' a break on how many penalties they commit. they've had 4 preseason games to get ready for this, and they go over that kinda shit in practice all the time. granted though, i'm sure as the season goes on, penalties should become less. unless you're the raiders. those guys have led the league in penalties quite a bit in the last 3 or 4 seasons. i can't remember how many times i've seen teams give away a game because of a penalty.
but i'll agree with AL9045, it was still a decent game to watch. cool seeing hall kick that game winner. especially when i picked washington in my pool, woot!
