Doesnt matter, winning or losing will not come down to one player. Even if it did, Garrett wouldnt take advantage.

Took the words right outta my fingers

a few more for them and it could equal out. glad to see Tyron and Baily are back at practice today.

No certainly won't come down to one player. But it changes how we defend them and TE is certainly a trouble area for DAL D.

i think i agree with you in spirit, but i have faith in Byron to cover him. I could be completely wrong, but Eifert doesnt scare me as many do. Im not saying you are totally wrong, but just differing slightly.

Huge loss for an already ripe-for-a-beating bengals team.

Fair, I just think anytime you take an impact player off and can allocate one of your own elsewhere it gives you a better chance to defend. Also dare I say it, maybe this is the game Byron snags an INT.

Hard to argue that, i just didnt give that view a thought. So, lets say i hope my take is wrong and yours is right. Good point on your take.

 

[Macnalty]

This is a big deal hope we are capable of taking advantage of this situation.

Big news.

The focus is still on AJ Green in the passing game, but now we can afford to shadow him more often without worrying about TE.

Bengals forum calling him Glass Joe. It's his back this time, not his ankle. Messed up my fantasy team since there are like so many byes this week.

Exactly. It's not about one player being THE difference. Just removes a weapon that would need to be specifically game planned for.

Eifert is a stud. This definitely helps us. I'll take it.

AJ Green is still going to be a problem though. He's been great so far this season.

His sister was cheering for the Cowboys anyway, which is pretty funny.

Eifert's 11 TD in the red zone led all tight ends last year.. So far this year, the Bengals rank 2nd in the NFL in big plays (20+ yards), but they've struggled to finish drives because they rank 31st in red zone TD percentage without Eifert.
