ONly the best takes here.

Week 5 NFL Reactions 2021

#TENvsJAX

- Shaq Griffin looks really good, he might be one of the only good players on the Jags D outside of Jack/Allen/Hamilton

- Brown still looks good, just get him the ball. Also don't count out what Griffin can do

- The only bad part about Henry's game is on the GL

#TENvsJAX

- James Robinson has always and will always be great, there was no reason to draft an RB in the first round

- Seeing some nice throws from Lawrence, not all there yet but man there is something special looming. Throwing on the run looks good too which is newish

#TENvsJAX

- Wilson all over the place in the run game, Hamilton helping with that for sure

- Hollister with some great blocks, kinda forgot about him but he's a good blocker

- Man if it wasn't for a blown coverage, a fumble return TD, a missed field goal the Jags would be in it

#TENvsJAX

- Wiggard has shown some pop on film but he has a very limited upside and isn't athletic enough to continue playing safety

- TEN OL has been meh at halftime

- Jags OL has been killing it all year and they looked good today esp in the running game

#TENvsJAX

- Lawrence also does a great job running the ball as a compliment to the game, good stuff. Less good deep ball in this one tho

- Landry has had multiple good games, finally they pay off against Cam Robinson

#TENvsJAX

- Chassion had a better day than most but still def a bust right now. moving to a 3/4 hasn't help as much as I wanted it to yet

- Dan Arnold is a legit TE for fantasy and maybe real life (just wish the Jags singed him in the offseason instead of trading for him)

#TENvsJAX

- Vishka on his one catch kills it, why aren't they running him once a game like last year. Figure him out Urban. I don't think Vishka is a great route runner so I understand why he isn't catching as much but the coaches still need to figure out how to get him the ball

#TENvsJAX

- Jones didn't have a bad game but also didn't have a good one. Lawrence missed him a few times but his route running wasn't super good. This team might be missing the downfield threat that used to be Chark as well

#TENvsJAX

- TEN has looked worse than I thought coming into the year but they still are in control of the division as they are obviously the best team. Still like them to upset BUF this week; hopefully Fulton is back

- Jags suck, lots to be upgraded but Lawrence looks ok

ATL vs NYJ

Pitts in-line with an early catch is interesting

Q Williams with a forced fumble, mostly just threw his body into him

Carter tackled on the screen, not great had way more space

Low ball to Davis but a nice one in the middle of the zone with good zip

Davis with a drop on a kind of high ball

Final Memes

- First thing that comes to mind is how well both OLs played in this one esp the ATL line. I was more impressed by ATL because of the matchup, very nice

- Ryan looked really good in this one considering his weapons, the Jets D is not good but Ryan still looked good

- Wilson had some good flashes but that’s about it. The Jets need some deep WR help (USE MIMS, it’s the only way)

- Davis looked good running the ball and so did Patterson, both breaking tackles all over the place and looking good

- Mosley had a down game tackling but still looks good overall

- Bryce Hall had a very good mixed bag day. Targeted a lot but made some nice plays. Tight coverage a good amount of time. Get another real CB on the other side and this could be the beginnings of a good group

- No one really jumped out to me on the defensive side for ATL, Hawkins with a nice INT but not too much else, Terrell wasn’t targeted too much which is good, Adetokunbo Ogundeji made some fine plays but wasn’t good all the time, Fowler was meh some good film but a lot of plays he didn’t take off but he might as well have

- Pitts had a great game, had the targets, made all the plays, ran good routes, beat up a bad secondary. Pitts also did it all over the place on almost every different route, very nice. Very interesting that Pitts did this so early in his career, great job.

- Mims needs to play, Mims needs to play, Mims needs to play

- Carter is the best RB in the Jets backfield and is getting used that way

- Hurst still used a lot, like a regular TE. Pitts could just switch to WR, would make sense imo

- Quincy Williams made some nice plays in the middle of the game, he’s been on a role since he left the Jags

DET vs MIN

- DET loves using their RBs in screens lol

- Quick ball to Hock is nice

- Williams hit the hole, then slowed down and looked ok

- Nice run around Kendricks by Swift getting away in the backfield then keeping the speed up, very very nice

- Cepheus with a nice catch and go, close play

- Deep ball to St. Brown but out of bounds

- Nice play by Peterson on the PBU on the outside button hook

- Kinda drop by Conklin

- Mattison with a fine run

- Jefferson with an insane catch while being fouled by Amani Oruwariye, wowy what a grab

- Kirk with a nice ball to Jefferson on the sideline while getting hit

- Mattison with some breaking tackles but not hitting the hole as hard as Cook

- Low ball from Kirk on the run in the endzone, well covered endzone by DET

- Vigil with a nice tackle on Williams in space

- Smith knocks out an almost catch in tight coverage on Hock

- Swift with good cuts to get through the hole

- Nice run stop by Griffin and co on the run outside

- St. Brown with a nice play

- Griffin beat Sewell for the sack X2, tow great plays, Sewell almost had him the second time

- Oruwariye with a nice coverage on Jefferson, Jefferson gets him the next time around

- Thielen with a nice run on the outside on the screen, great time

- Nice run on the outside by Mattison

- Nice route by Jefferson and good throw by Cousins

- Jefferson keeps beating Oruwariye and Kirk with some great throws

- Really nice run after the catch by Mattison bouncing off tacklers and getting pushed into the endzone

- Nice tackle by Peterson on St. Brown but nice catch by St. Brown

- Cepheus with a nice stiff arm on Peterson then spins and gets outside

- St. Brown with a meh run on the outside screen on 3rd and 10 before the half

- Trey Flowers ran over the blocker for the sack, wowy

- Osborn with a nice quick move but couldn’t be quick anywhere else

- Swift with a nice run

- Really nice INT from Kendricks, athletic and was kinda obscured by the OL

- Easy ball to Conklin, nice play over the middle

- Nice rushes up the middle, good moves by the RBs

- Deep ball almost picked by Smith

- Jefferson again

- Charles Harris with some nice spin moves to get the pressure

- Mattison with a nice big run, good job getting up to speed and breaking tackles

- Kirk with a dangerous ball and it gets picked. Yep kinda expected that once I saw it

- Swift stuffed trying get through the OL

- Swift on the outside looking fast and good

- Nice tackle by Breeland on 3rd down in space. DET too many short throws to TBs

- Mattison stuffed by Parker and crew on 3rd down on the outside

- Overthrow from Goff

- Nice grab while getting hit by Mattison

- Nice wrap up tackle by Derrick Barnes

- Conklin with a nice grab on a high throw

- Charles Harris with an easy sack, very nice on the outside

- Quick ball to Swift on the outside, nice job getting him the ball

- Keep using Swift as much as possible

- Overthrow from Goff

- Brokenish play with the sack by Hunter, kind of a broken play by far

- Amon-Ra getting nice chunk yardage because he’s just a casually good WR

- Swift running over dudes, mane they are moving the ball fast down the field

- Another overthrow from Goff

- Easy run D from DET, all over it and made nice tackles

- DET was down by 13 with like 3 min to go, wowy

- Quick ball to St. Brown, love it, nice slant boy

- Swift with an easy TD, perfect blocking up the middle

- Thielen with a big grad, of course

- Nice tackle in bounds by Harris

- Thielen again, twice over the middle going for it

Final Thoughts

- Goff had a bad game, didn’t really do much besides some fine throw to St. Brown. Lots of check downs and bad throws. Deep ball wasn’t good

- Love Swift, he is used like the RB1 and he looks almost just as good lol

- Williams still used a decent amount but it’s def more in favor of Swift

- DET OL wasn’t as punished as much as I thought it would have against a good DL in MIN since they are being really hurt by injury (Ragnow etc)

- St. Brown may never be a wow guy but man has he improved already in this short stint with DET. He is a great possession receiver who can run routes really well. Should be good going forward, love the talent and some of Goff’s best throws were to him and Cepheus. Best WRs on the team and are very young

- Charles Harris has been good in past games and it finally paid off a bit this game. Impressed with his ability so far this year in some limited work.

- Amani Oruwariye played as best as he could vs Jefferson. Jefferson was just as good as anyone with week and Kirk threw some great balls mostly on Amani but as a below to average CB he played well

- Didn’t see McNeil that much this game

- Trey Flowers is the best player on the defense and it’s not close

- Mattison is fine and might even be a fairly good RB but Cook is just so much better it’s not funny. No need to start him when Cook returns no matter what stats he puts up

- Thielen with some big plays at the end was nice but it was a Jefferson game through and through

- Kirk looked good vs a bad defense, but he really only had a few bad throws. The INT was very unfortunate but his one big mistake. Lots of good throws to Jefferson (Jefferson made them look a bit better too)

- Kendricks less good vs the run then vs the pass as is tradition

- Wonnum got a sack, love that they are using him vs the pass. Love him there

- MIN defense looked better today, Smith with some nice plays playing center field. Peterson with some good PBU but still not really buying this MIN secondary. The DL is good

- Conklin could get involved more, idk maybe, TE is so tough especially when you are like option 4 or 5 in the passing game

- MIN has a lot of work to do but they still could be a playoff team, the secondary will hold them back tho

KC vs BUF

- Hill on White, Hill wins on the under route nice

- Deep ball Mahomes missed Kelce

- Nice D on Hardman with a bi hit from Jordan Poyer

- Addison and Hughes chasing Mahomes out of the pocket

- Williams with a fine rush up the middle, kinda slow

- Another overthrow from Mahomes

- Quick ball to Hill he dropped it, sad

- Low ball my Mahomes, YILKES

- Big stuff up the middle from KC

- Fine ball to Knox over Bolton from Josh Allen

- Nice run stopping from KC

- Allen with a nice rush to get to first and goal

- Ball to Knox but over his head and no PI call

- Allen running like an RB but not getting hit too hard for the TD

- Ball pops out on the return damn

- Nice quick ball form Allen, good play on the screen

- Moss with a nice cutback and run on the outside, there was holding but still a good run

- Nice ball from Mahomes to Kelce in tight coverage in zone from BUF

- Williams with a fine run but slow and slow enough to the point where it’s clear he’s a backup and not much better

- Hughes with another pressure, nice

- Williams looking fast and good in space

- Hill is good in space, blasphemy

- Greg Rousseau with some nice pressures

- Mahomes with a good throw to Pringle who beat his receiver

- Drop from Moss, seeing the low completion percentage isn’t really Allen’s fault so far

- Nice throw to Diggs over the middle

- Moss over the middle, wide open no one near him

- Good deep ball to Sanders, terrible angle by L'Jarius Sneed but was a good throw

- Low ball on the run, kinda throw away maybe but still bad on the run

- Deep ball, Diggs wide open, didn’t do much there but good arm to throw it deep

- Diggs demolished Daniel Sorensen

- Rashad Fenton with good D on Diggs on the comebacker in the corner of the endzone

- Allen with a bad throw in the EZ on the 3rd down, bad

- Mahomes missing hill over the middle, another accuracy issue it’s been here all year tbh

- Mahomes buying time but no one open, give the big credit to the BUF defense

- Moss getting hit and looking strong in space

- Allen good job getting outside the pocket and really strong throw to Knox who was wide open behind the defense, good strong ball but Knox was wayyyyy open so can’t give too too much credit

- Tight coverage on Hill, way too tight

- Hardman with a nice grab ALMOST on the sideline, fine throw by Mahomes

- Nice run by Allen, love to see that even if like an RB

- Diggs on Sneed, kind of a bad ball but not much separation

- Kelce wide the fuck open

- Nice move by Robinson after the catch on Wallace

- Mahomes getting pressured but got it off

- Knox with a nice grab on a contested deep ball, nice nice nice

- Bolton with a nice tackle

- Man CEH is back in the game for a play in the third, was he limited before? Tyreek with a ball behind him, gets a hand on it but tipped up for a defender to grab and score

- Hill breaking ankles but couldn’t get there on 3rd and 6

- Hardman with a drop

- Nice ball to Hill, easy

- Another INT by Rousseau, good tip up and catch. Love that wingspan man, I love it

- Moss running strong but nice tackle by Mathieu

- Deep ball to Diggs, not a bad ball and catch but good defense. Took a little for the ball to get there

- Quick balls to the RB now that CEH is hurt, fuck you Mahomes, fuck you

- Allen Deep ball thrown up in the air and picked but a roughing brings it back

- Ball away from Sanders with Bolton in coverage

Final Thoughts

- KC had some unlucky breaks and some bad coverages that led to their loss but the most important thing is that BUF defense. It’s really good, maybe top 5 in the league. Was not expecting that.

- KC’s problem is if Mahomes is not elite and they don’t have a running game the team isn’t that good. Mahomes hasn’t been elite, he’s barley been good this year. Lots of bad throws and the amazing ones juts haven’t been there

- Kelce and Hill still look good, no worries here

- The KC OL did a fine job vs a really good and mostly fresh BUF DL. Mahomes makes it easier too

- I guess Williams takes over the backfield but he is worse than CEH and looked worse on film

- KC had some broken coverage and this defense is like I’ve been saying very up and down. They covered Diggs well for the most part.

- Allen had an OK day, he was better than Mahomes. The low completion percentage probably isn’t earned but he wasn’t perfectly accurate at all. Lots of big chunk plays that he just threw deep on and look sometimes it’s hard to throw deep I get it but still can’t give em praise throwing to wide open guys

- Moss is the clear number 1 RB for me, he had some drops but looks strongest in the run games (next to Allen).

- Allen did need to use his running ability to win this one which is nice but I still worry about how he runs

- The BUF defense is amazing, one of the best by war. The secondary is good the DL has such a good rotation it might be best in the league with all that depth

- Not much else to say about BUF, this defense is legit and did slow down a very good Chiefs offense

NYG vs DAL

- Zeke with a great run on the side, moving fast between tacklers

- Lorenzo Carter on 4th with the tip and the INT, damn. Great stop by the Giants DEF

- Jones with a nice little run, kinda am respecting the run game

- Nice rush up the middle by Saquon, my tears

- Ross with a deep ball, not a great ball

- Jones on the run chased by Parsons, low throw to Toney who couldn’t handle it with Diggs in coverage

- Zeke with a really nice patient run

- Zeke with a nice grab on the sideline dang

- Pollard with a nice run, looking fast around the corner, nice blocking by the Cowboys defense

- Strong throw over the middle to Schultz with McKinney in coverage decently well

- Ball way over Saquon’s head and now I want to die, I blame Jones

- Diggs read a crossing route so well, almost had another INT but the receiver made a good defensive play on it

- Zeke with a great run, getting small and moving so slyly through the blocks

- Julian Love almost got a sack there

- Zeke with a strong run following the blocks, DAL fumble gives it away

- Ross another overthrow from Jones on the outside, damn

- McKinney with a nice tackle

- Carter next tackle on Zeke in the backfield

- Jackson with a good tackle on Pollard on the outside

- Lamb with a nice catch and beat Bradberry deep, good throw too. Great play by DAL

- Diggs almost got an INT

- Toney with a great grab tripping over a DB to make a grab

- No one else gets a catch after Toney ;)

- Dal almost turned it over again on a tipped ball

- Jackson stops receiver short of the first, nice tackle but good throw from Dak

- Nice ball on the run to Toney who is very open across the field

- Very open Engram with a nice throw from Jones

- Booker with one nice run up the middle, good stop and start ability

- Nice cutback and strength from a Toney run

- Toney with such strength and great playmaking ability to get a bunch of extra yards

- Nice tackle from Cox on the Jones roll out on the goal line, glad to see Cox getting in there and playing well

- Good blocking then Cooper catches one on Bradberry, nice grab

- Nice throw over the middle to Schultz

- Nice ball to Cooper for the score, threaded the needle on Love and McKinney

- Booker with an ok run on the screen, breaking a little bits of tackles

- Toney wide open on Diggs, the most I’ve seen someone open

- Toney getting a screen now too

- Nice blocking and good run from Booker

- Botched snap, lame

- Ceedee getting his own screen, does better than Toney but Toney is playing way better this game

- Dak throw away, great blocking from DAL all game

- Throw to Schultz who eventually gets opened, nice, very nice

- Low throw to Cooper on Bradberry

- Zeke with a nice run on the outside

- Dak with a strong throw while getting tackled

- High throw to on Ceedee with Bradberry in overage. I guess PI

- Zeke with a fine TD, good blocking again

- Glennon deep ball, Diggs with an easy INT. Diggs is a fucking star

- Pollard with an amazing run cutting outside and with such good speed, wowy best play of the day

- McKinney with tight coverage on Schultz

- Pollard with a nice power rush, wow, very cool

- NYG on a blitz finally gets to the QB

- Parsons thee with a nice run stop

- Toney with an insane grab on Lewis, over the defender and kept his feet in bounds, wowy

- Toney getting used again out of the backfield

- Throw outside, nice gram from Engram

- LVE with a tackle for loss

- Toney rushes up the middle almost gets another TD, should have had two

- Nice cutback from Zeke

- Lamb wide open on Jackson on a comebacker

- Deep ball Wilson with a nice grab

- Zeke getting the corner and gets in for the score, nice run and it continues to be a good blocking day from Dallas

- Toney with another nice catch

- Over the middle ball over Neal for a big grab

- Toney with another nice grab in the middle on Diggs

- Ross gets a grab but very late

- Ross with a really nice grab on the back of the endzone, damn so close to being complete

Final Thoughts

- It really sucks for NYG to lose Saquon and Jones in a rivalry game. Hopefully they are both back soon

- The NYG OL held up well against a good pass rush (or at least Parsons)

- Toney is an absolute stud, a juts complete stud. Should have gotten him last week and I should have pushed harder. He was my WR4 for this class

- Engram had some nice catches but I wouldn’t read much into it

- The defense man the defense should be good, I love the personnel. The safeties should be probably be improved and hopefully their second rounder can develop

- Giants have some good receivers on the team when healthy, not sure what they are going to do when all healthy

- DAL is a legit contender

- The OL was really good, both passing and rushing they killed it

- Both RBs look great, Pollard had a better game than Zeke but I like Zeke more

- Ceedee looked fine, better than Cooper but I still like Cooper more

- DAL offense was already legit but with the defense looking better as Diggs appears to be the breaking out this whole team is legit

- Fine game from Parsons and LVE but the defense is at least average. Neal had kind of a shitty game, but just coming back into the fold.

- Diggs did get beat the most by Toney out of any WR I’ve seen him guard all year. Very interesting

- Good to see Cox getting involved, def one of the reasons they moved on from Smith

NO vs WAS

- Short ball over the middle, ok ok ok

- Slant over the middle to Stills

- Deep ball over the middle, bad throw

- Easy INT for Cole Holcomb on a tipped ball

- Gibson with a nice spin to get outside, very nice

- Heinicke on the run and makes a way overthrow

- Nice job by WFT in the running game

- Harris gets wide open deep, Winston with a lameish ball. Harris just beat the zone. Collins was close and maybe should have been playing center field better

- Quick toss to Gibson, fine catch

- Nice defense on second and short by NO

- Good push on the next play for the first down run

- Nice ball to Terry who makes a nice catch, good throw

- Heinicke with some bad throws in the endzone, fine defense but bad from Heinicke

- Strip sack, will be interesting to see who can get the better of the other group between NO and WFT

- McKissic with an obvious catch with under 2 minutes to go, as it was written in the ancient texts

- Jordan with a big stop in the backfield on McKissic as he stiff armed him to the ground

- Pressure nice throw over the middle from Heinicke

- Fine rush into the endzone, WFT has the muscle to do it

- Quick ball to Hill who makes a defender miss with a stiff arm. Very nice

- Callaway with a fine receiver

- Almost nice throw from Winston to Hill but Hill got knocked the fuck out (like me, *cries*)

- Kamara with a smooth run for a score, easy TD but also good blocking up the middle. Got way from Payne which is surprising but he isn’t quick

- Nice outside throw to Terry from Heinicke on Lattimore

- Low throw to Samuel by Heinicke, longer throw, easy ball for Abedo to make the INT on but fine coverage

- Deep ball to Stills overthrown

- Intermediate ball, was nice. St-Juste made a good play on it

- Nice slide by Heinicke

- NO defense coming alive making lots of plays

- Close ball from Heinicke to Humphries, just out of reach

- Williams (43) makes a nice play on a lofty ball to Terry

- Winston with a nice rush while carrying two defenders

- Payne gets sack, a good sack by the whole line tho

- WFT with a good stop back on the defense

- What a ridiculous TD throw Hail Mary at the end of the half

- Pressure got to Heinicke

- Gibson with a fine rush but that was on 3rd and long. Lame!

- Low throw behind Johnson by Winston

- Heinicke on a busted play to Seal-Jones, almost worked

- Fine throw on the outside to Milne

- Pressure, deep ball, nice throw to Kamara who just couldn’t handle it

- Low intermediate ball by Winston

- Gibson with a hard rush, nice cutback on the next rush. The line is doing well

- Terry in the flat, have to find him

- Gibson with a really nice rush, best of the day besides the Kamara TD

- Another throw to Seal-Jones that was off and in way too close of coverage

- Winston with a nice rush up the middle on 3rd and long

- Bad throw from Heinicke in the EZ, another bad one after that

- Deep ball INT from PJ Williams, bad throw from Heinicke

- Nice cut outside by Kamara, fine play

- Easy schemed TD from NO, nice call. Play zone in the end zone at least

- Ball dropped right to Humphries from Taylor

- Nice tfl by Tuttle

- 4th down, way open Milne, easy completion

- Heinicke with a nice rush

- Good GL defense from New Orleans, Lattimore on Terry was good expect the PI call on 3rd down

- Gibson pushing it in there, very nice push from the OL

- Nice ball to Trautman from Winston

- Easy score on the PA rollout to Kamara

Final Thoughts

- Well this was a battle of which defense would be better and which teams QB would be worse. Spoiler WFT was worse.

- Heinicke just needed to throw the ball to Terry more, IDK if he is covered by Lattimore

- Heinicke isn’t that good of a QB, had a lot of bad throws and bad decisions

- Gibson played well, was used in the passing game more. McKissic is still underutilized but he was in there for the 2 min drill

- Terry didn’t really get the better of Lattimore, impressive for Lattimore

- WFT OL played well, the run game was ok

- Between WFT DL and NO OL I think I’m going with NO OL but it was a close one in a matchup of juggernauts

- Harris or Stills or one of those guys will probably score a big TD now and then, not worth looking into as a long term fantasy option

- Winston did not look good today, his deep ball is still very off. Got lucky his receivers beat the D so much and that Kamara is so good

- Speak of, Kamara was good as always. Follows blocks well and in space is very good

- Lattimore playing really well, better than Abedo but at least Abedo gets a pick for all his hard work over the season

- Hopefully Taysom gets back and healthy soon because Winston still isn’t the answer. NO still has a good team outside of WR and QB. WFT has a similar issue except the defense is falling apart because of the scheme. The safeties again seem to be an issue in addition to the zone

MIA vs TB

- Waddle with a drop on an easy TD but there was PI anyway

- Few drops early from Mia, not great

- The OLD is getting beat a bunch so far

- Gaskin with an easy schemed TD, beat Pierre-Paul in the flat

- Lenny with a nice grab, almost had a deep ball too

- Evans over the middle with a nice grab in coverage

- Holland with a nice PBU and tackle

- Brady gets sacked, nice Van Ginkel is in there

- Dean with good coverage on Williams on 3rd and down on the sideline

- Brown off to the races, the DB fell down on Johnson and Brown beat his man in a footrace for a score

- Deep ball way overthrown by Jacoby B

- Deep ball Howard on Evans, Howard won but not the best play

- Brady overthrows Brown with Howard in coverage

- Brady with another overthrow, almost picked

- Lenny in space making dudes miss

- Brady with a ball to brown close to the goal line, he beat Howard across the middle, maybe schemed open but not really

- Waddle with a nice grab on Whitehead

- Fine ball on the outside to Gesicki

- Strip sack recovery, easy play from the good DL

- Brady almost drives and almost gets a score

- Tight ball to Gesicki, nice grab

- Pressure got to Brissett and just barely dumped it off

- Nice looping ball to Gaskin for the score by Brissett with pressure in his face

- Lenny with a tough rush up the middle for the score, year that’s what he does

- Holland looking weak in the run stopped/tackling game

- OK Holland with a nice hit on Rojo who is plodding along, damn

- Brown looking fast running past Byron Jones

- Evans for the score on Jones, nice ball and Jones almost got there. Evans beat Jones on the route

- Ball went through Waddle’s fingers and into Dean’s hands. Waddle with a bad game

- Evans over the middle on Holland, bad play by the safety and good play by Evans

- Whitehead with a nice PBU

Final Thoughts

- Not much to be gleamed here unfortunately. MIA doesn’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with TB. The OL is still very young for MIA as much as I like it. No Fuller and no Franchise QB is rough. Still like the DBs. Seems like Holland make some mistakes (I like him in the long term tho).

- TB is a super bowl contender again for sure. The DBs played fine in this one especially Whitehead and Dean. Love the DL and all the pressure they create. 2 of the three WRs will be good almost every week. This is how it shall be. OJ Howard has fallen so far

SFvsARI

- Lance with a nice run to start this thing off with

- Nice outside ball to Kyle J, long motion to throw tho

- Lance with a nice ball and a strong arm on the run but overthrows his receiver by a lot into Baker’s hands

- Rush up the middle, first time stuffed, second time Connor got through

- Moseley with a fine tackle on Kirk

- Moore with a fine run around the edge for the almost score

- Connor gets in for the TD, the damn vulture man, he didn’t even run it up the middle. Still probably a very average RB

- Mitchell with a lame run up the sideline, not great blocking

- Ball behind the receiver from Lance

- Ball tipped from Lance

- ARI all over the run right now

- Watt is getting a lot of pressure now

- Lance with a nice rush but only got 6 when he needed 7

- DJ Jones with a nice move and good job hunting down Murray

- Kirk with a nice grab as he got jacked up on a bad throw

- Lance with another nice throw and good job getting out of the pocket

- Mitchell back in and being used the whole drive, nice cutting. Like what I see

- Lance with a nice ball on the run to Deebo

- Lance on a designed run up the middle for 5, very nice

- Aiyuk with a nice grab on the sideline

- Mitchell did a nice jo getting the corner

- Deebo with a drop on the outside screen

- Lance with the designed run, great run blocking

- Lance with good strength getting the ball out before being sacked

- Nice run up the middle by Connor just getting out of the end zone

- Kyler with a bad throw over the middle, lame ball

- Hopkins with an insane catch on a fine backdoor throw

- Edmonds with a good job getting to the edge

- Kyler flushed, airing it out, Moore with a sick catch on the outside, kind of a perfect ball and a just amazing catch

- Edmonds with a nice rush up the middle

- Moore on the outside with a good move

- Mosely with some good D on Hopkins in 1 on 1 in the endzone

- Zach Allen with a nice stop on Lance in the backfield

- Nice ball from Lance to Sanu that he dropped right in the zone

- Williams injury looks bad, was a nice catch and run

- Nice slant from Hopkins

- Bosa with a sack on Murray, Man Murray cannot get away from pressure today

- SF all over ARI, man if Jimmy was QB I think it would be a lot closer

- Lance buying a lot of time, makes a throw almost got hit before he threw it

- Nice throw on the run from Lance

- Fine run up the middle by Deebo

- Lance with a nice rush up the middle, like a skinny RB

- Sanu with a nice grab on 4th down on a low throw

- Zack Allen with another sack, nice move

- Lance deep ball to Kyle J, way out of bounds

- Nice rush by Lance on a broken play, very nice

- Ball in risky coverage, Aiyuk makes a nice grab tho

- Nice designed run for Lance, very good blocking by the OL

- Deebo with a rush on a pitch, great blocking in space from the OL

- Nice ball to Kirk over the middle, good grab

- Deep ball, good coverage from Norman on Hopkins, ball was a little short. Good blocking from the ARI OL

- Lance running again but not getting much out of it

- Another throw tipped by ARI DL

- Lance with a nice rush up the middle, good blocking in space by the OL

- Another Tipped ball, this time from Watt, wasn’t going to be a good pass anyway

- Nice grab from Hopkins in double coverage

- Nice ball on the run from Lance, great catch by Deebo

- Sermon with a strong run but not fast on the outside

- Lance hit as he throws

- Nice throw to Hopkins on the sideline, good play all around

- Nice rush up the middle from Connor

Final Thoughts

- Lance is probably going to be a great fantasy QB and I like the idea of using the OL and OL scheme as much as possible for SF but Jimmy G gives them the best shot to win

- Lance had a lot of bad throws and a few really nice ones on the run. But a majority of his passes were bad or tipped. The running is good and the designed runs were smart but he still needs to be a QB

- Deebo looks good still but if Lance runs a lot more then both him and Aiyuk will be stock down

- Love the SF defense. I’m still unsure if the secondary is average or above average or maybe good? But the front 7 is good and def the DL

- Norman had some good coverages on Hopkins

- SF OL is top in the league and the way the run their scheme is just absolutely perfect, no one can zone block like they can or block in in space like they can

- Mitchell seems like the best RB and the one who was used the most. Sermon is probably a fine back but Mitchell just looks better imo

- ARI OL held up well for most of the game. Murray usually runs away from those free rushers up the middle but this game was different. IDK why, bad luck and footing

- Murray was ok in this one but SF has a good D and they did a good job corralling Murray and not letting him run

- ARI has been running really well with their 4 guys (Murray, Edmonds, Connor, Moore) That’s a lot of fun weapons to use.

- Look Connor was never washed, he’s about average and way better at short yardage situations than anyone else they have

- Love that they use Moore in the screen game and running game. Better to use him and Kirk than use Green for any reason other than endzone fades

- ARI DL with some nice PBU at the LOS, Watt had a really good game vs a very good OL

- Not a lot of opportunities for DBs since many of Lances balls were all over the place

- Zach Allen with some nice plays, good TFLs

CHIvsLV

- Abram with a nice hit on 3rd and short on the QB

- Quinn with a nice tackle in the backfield, good pass rush too

- Vildor on Drake, interesting

- Are we ready to talk about Hunter Renfrow as a top slot receiver or nah?

- Roquan with a good pass breakup

Final Thoughts

- Fields isn’t looking too good. Not bad and I love how athletic he looks but he isn’t making good throws. Some things on the run looked nice but I’m not sure if he’s that much better than Dalton. Has tons of potential

- The Bears OL played worse than the stats sheet would suggest, Yan especially ate BUT they didn’t give up 5+ sacks like I expected so that is def a win for one of the worst OLs in the league

- Still think Herbert, as I’ve said in the past, is the best RB in the backfield and you can start him in fantasy. He was raw last week, this will be a better more tight game from him this week

- Allen Robinson made some nice grabs on limited targets. Throw Robinson the ball, Fields, you’ll look super good to all the normies and it will help your team win

- Bears’ defense is probably top 5 in the league. I’ve said that a few time so let me break down my favorite defenses of the year. In no particular order: Bears, Broncos, Bills, Rams, Saints/Browns/Steelers/Chargers (I can’t choose a 5th damn)

- Vildor playing really well again, he’s shaping up to be a nice number 2 and Robert Quinn keeps earning his contract. Amazing

- Raiders OL did not play well, I think they expected better things coming into the season. The Bears have a great defense and pass rush so I’m not super troubled

- Even without Hicks the Bears played good run defense vs Jacobs

- Are we ready to talk about how good Hunter Renfrow is? Because he’s a top slot receiver

- Carr had a down game for sure, we saw the reemergence of Checkdown Carr a decent amount this game. Disappointing but he’s still a good player

- Missing some DBs for the Raiders this game but the defense/secondary help up fine. LVR defense def worse vs the run and that’s how they got beat.

- Not sure how I feel about Abram as a LB but maybe he can be good there, jury is still way out for me

- Amik Robertson had a less than good game but I still like him as depth corner if not better in the future

- Bears might ride a great defense to a playoff berth (again) but if they can keep the gang together next year when Fields is better they might shoot up to contender

- The Raiders aren’t pretenders and will make the playoffs, CIN might have changed my mind last week to contenders
