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.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
