Shout out to CMC, DJ Moore, and Kyle Allen

[TheRed]

I have to give credit where it is due to Kyle Allen for bouncing back in a big way on the road. Moore and CMC balled out all day.

Damn shame so much effort was squandered.

Maybe we will have an opportunity to see that when Chris Hogan is available to return.

Right in time to play Seattle. Should be interesting.

This was DJ’s breakout game and Slye cost him a win.

Still a helluva game for a guy who has a lot of star potential (please don’t fumble twice and have 3 drops next week DJ, I feel like every time I compliment a guy he chokes the next game).

He wasn't great but they finally seem to be getting the idea to use him as a TRUE utility guy instead of a full time WR. That's a smart move.

I frankly wouldn't be against converting him to running back.

Agreed. It was a little bit of a head scratching pick at the time. But, we need to stop trying to beat that square peg into a round hole. 

Yeah after taking CMC, we basically took a poor man's CMC again in the 2nd. I said it at the time. It just didn't make a lot of sense.

Almost every thing he was criticized for this week(myself among the critics) he dramatically improved today. Super, super, super impressed with Kyle. Same with DJ Moore. He got the poo kicked out of him all game long and played big.

Yeah, that was sort of the story of the last couple of years of Gettleman. Predominately head scratching picks. 

That's pretty much the history of our franchise, mediocre coaches and mediocre general managers. No wonder we have only seven winning seasons since 1995.

DJ is only 22. CMC and Samuel are both under 25 as well. We don’t need Superman trucking through defense Cam. We just need older and wiser Cam to get the ball to these playmakers. We will be alright. Please come back Cam. 

[BrizzMachete]

Dj was the most impressive today we “might” have our number one . Might ! Samuel looked out of It today . This was one game where y’all hate was actually justified this game

I don't know that he would be suited for the kind of pounding a RB gets in the NFL. Maybe. I think he's just a guy we need to move around and put in position to make plays. We did a good job of it today.

Yeah, there's a place for him that place is just not as a pure WR. He's still a WR/RB hybrid. Too weak to play RB, not polished enough to play WR.

And Olsen.

Pretty much. If we can improve our other WR slot, we can just move him around as necessary to make plays for us. I definitely want to keep him but he limits our options as an every down WR.

Just wanted to add, CMC had some incredible blocks that game.  He bought Kyle the time he needed on multiple plays...
