One thing about the so called "America's Team" is that Americans prefer winners, and that is one thing that San Francisco's history has a plethera of.
The first half was a joy to watch for any fan of red and gold, even with one of the leagues best run defense allowing more yards on the ground then fans of the 5 time Superbowl Champs have become accustomed to, the ability to turn the ball over and capatalize on those turnovers was a joy to witness.
Though there are surely a few rooting for those with stars on their helmets that would disagree. Colin Kaepernick looked cool and collected throughout the game, making some great descisions and making it look like this truely could be a miraculous year for the young QB. On the other end Tony Romo seemed to be playing right into the hands of 49ers Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio, figuratively and literally at times, Romo's frustration seemed to only grow as the game seemed to be all but over as the minutes continued to expire from the game clock.
Michael Crabtree a game time decision did play, though still didn't seem 100%, but the 70 or so tickets he aquired for friends and family certainly helped make it feel more like a home game than an away game for a San Francisco team that is hoping this season is the one that the frachise can hoist it's 6th Superbowl trophy.
All in all a great way to start the season, even with a few questionable calls from officiating and perhaps not showing the full brunt of their offense, this Panda certainly believes the San Francisco 49ers should be pround of this showing in Arlington Texas.
