What a throw by Gabbert!

Also dumb challenge by the Rams.
 
Raiders are such a fun team to watch,outside my team(Eagles) Raiders are the one team I try to watch every week.
 
Great win for Dallas, coming from a big hole down 14-0 early and righting the ship. Defense is still garbage. Running game is getting better probably due to the line starting to gel (despite missing both Collins and Smith) and Elliott settling in.
 
Bowman out for the season with an achilles injury, ffs :( It just doesn't stop.
 
Wish we had a veteran in the team that could sort OBJ out. Eli is kind of a veteran, but more like the guy who'll shrug and walk away every time OBJ starts acting up. How are the Eagles and Cowboys 3-1?
 
Vikings off to a great start! I didn't expect this start from them given their injuries.

Beasley, that's why. Record receiving in league leading up to the 49's game.... that and Elliott's quick fit into the RB slot.
 
Philly's defense and the rookie QB not turning to ball over is their key to 3-0. I suspect they'll eventually hit a wall.

Dallas is basically the running game, O-line dominance, and Dak not making mistakes. The defense is garbage.
 
I am not taking OBJ's side but Eli has really been ignoring him. For a rookie, Sterling Shepard has been seeing lot of the targets.

Two reasons for that.

1) Because he is a rookie. No one is scheming for him.
2) I believe he is a better receiver.

But that's all part of being a receiver. If you don't have confidence in him in timing, in practice, and in togetherness all because he hasn't been mentally with it on game day when you have split seconds to read and react, you will naturally look for whoever is currently more reliable.

The couple posts above is also true - a WR1 makes room for others too.

He's just been getting more coverage and attention from dee-fenses.

Attitude problems aside, I thought he was great against Washington. Stretched the field well enough that Cruz and Shepard got theirs. Also had some clutch receptions. I didn't catch the full game against Minnesota.

He was great against Washington. Even after his sideline antics. It was Eli who constantly kept making bad decisions.

But he is hardly seeing the amount of targets a WR1 should.

Cardinals in a must win situation today. So much talent on that team, they shouldn't be in this position.
 
Yeah, puntfest..

Those black Niners uniforms are awesome though.
