I feel a very strong lack of queens coming on. I kinda wonder if people go for queen trades early with me intentionally these days.. granted, it's a good strategy. I've always felt like I don't play as well in the midgame without one. It's probably the biggest weakness in my game, so I take the opportunity to get better at not having her 10-20 moves in.
If 9 ...Qxd7 then you can go ahead and play 10. Qxd7+ for me and make your next move, obviously.
