1. Dez is no longer elite WR. NE has proven you don't really need true #1 if QB play is exceptional. So I am not totally alarmed that he is tier 2 WR at this stage. What does concern me is $17mill price tag.

2. Teams have adjusted to Dak. He might not be top QB we all hoped for but I still see guy fighting to very end. Thats good enough for me as long as their RB & DEF is good.

3. Jaylon Smith was really bad. I can't believe people aren't talking about this. Maybe its just such a feel good story no one wants to discuss it. I watched him very closely. Can't shed blockers, was sitting back and waiting for RB to initiate contact. Might be seeing some muscle fatigue as I saw him literally crumble to ground chasing RB. To be fair Lee and entire defense looked slow and tackled poorly. But I do believe this defense needs Hitchens back.

4. Tank is really good when healthy.

5. I am done with Jeff Heath.

Sorry this couldn't be more positive but this is where I am at right now.

Teams havent "adjusted" to Dak. Great defense make quarterbacks look bad more often than not. Aaron Rodgers had a MUCH worse game last year against Denver. And New York is almost as good.

After next week, we only play two more defenses all year with elite talent.

There is already a thread about that. I hope he save his money but i doubt it.

Game plan went out the window at 28-10, but Dak is not all that accurate.

Above all he has to be ale to defend the pass to be of value. I dont see it.

They adjusted by destroying the run game and leaning on Dak to pull it out with their great back 7 and it worked.
Linehan helped them by playing into their game. Also the OL shooted into the bed.

You nailed it.

smith was awful. I don't think he made a real tackle until the 4th quarter

Sure, but it worked because they have the talent in the secondary. Most teams don't.

Where were these threads last year when Baltimore, Philly and Washington tried the same thing and Dak beat them?

Literally every team after the Chicago game except Detroit tried the SAME strategy and we beat nearly all of them.
