Most have been saying how this is now our strength and I don't see it.  I like Fun and the attitude he brings, but I don't feel like he's a #1 WR, and the #2 or #3 yesterday couldn't get open either.  I also don't understand why DJ Moore didn't see many snaps yesterday.  This remains an area of concern and we're going to struggle offensively if somebody doesn't step up, especially after losing Olsen.

We couldn't get any deep passes.  I blame that on Dallas secondary and our oline.  Cam was taking what the defense would allow there was some errant throws and some penalties that called back some catches. But Dallas secondary is very good.  

 

We are a wr corp by committee. Yes no true #1 but we have 2 or 3 no 2's and the rest 3.  

 

I'm not to worried with the wrs they will get their catches when Cam has more time in the pocket.

Cam's deep ball looked a little off yesterday. He had Funchess once deep that would have been a TD had he hit him in stride. 

Not sure why we didn't load one up to Smith for at minimum a PI call. 

Getting Samuel back will help as he seems to be the best at getting open

Honestly I love the fact that Cam wasn't forcing anything deep.  There is something to be said for a 65% completion rate and no turnovers, especially in a close game like that.

I suspect the Cowboys defense is a lot better than people think.  I'm giving it a few weeks before I have any concerns about our WR's.

And just when things looked to be getting started on offense we lost Williams and had no RT. We still won though and that was big.

I thought Cam looked awesome.  He took what the defense gave him, was accurate mostly all day.  He fit some darts into some really tight windows. Ran like a beast.  Dallas has a really really strong defense.  They need to hang their hat on that this season.

Oh, I didn't know Torrey Smith was still collecting a free paycheck.

my complaint about the O after one game? Same complaint I had last year.

Did we even take one vertical shot all game? I can't remember taking one. 

Even if you don't hit it.  There is no excuse IMO for not having speed on the outside and tossing one deep to put the opposing D on check.

This is a terrible way to look at it.

We ran deep routes, multiple times.  Dallas stacked over the top to take it away.  And for a change, Cam saw that, and said "Ok, fine, I'll feed the guys underneath".

I'm thrilled with our QB.  He finally took what was offered and didn't put our defense in a bad spot.  And our defense responded by making the Dallas offense look completely inept for 90% of the game.

You both must be forgetting about Cam overthrowing both Funchess and CMC on deep, wide-open shots. I think this is more a rhythm issue than anything else. Give it another week or two.

My only concern is that OL. It's literally going to make or break us this year.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
