Alvin Kamara, pick 67. Derrick Henry, pick 45. Barry Sanders was a ridiculous prospect. His one starting season: 2600 yards, 37 TDs, sub 4.4 40 time. Bijan Robinson barely has that in two and a half college seasons. Same with Barkley.

RBs these days have a short shelf life. And if Robinson stays healthy through his rookie contract, you’ll have to sign him to a massive extension or let him walk. This was kind of the same argument on Hock. If he has the potential to be as game-changing as Kittle or Kelce (ha!), positional value doesn’t matter. We see how that worked out, with Holmes deciding he wasn’t worth the contract he would command… while the next guy, Ed Oliver, is at least as valuable as Hock but will re-sign for much less.

Yes, this is why I like the thought of letting them stock the shelves with one more draft, roll with Goff one more season, then go Rams style and roll some draft assets into a QB for a roster that is already stacked.

Wow. Maybe AG has a new secret weapon for passing downs.

Also, how about James Houston? First NFL start and he gets two sacks and a fumble recovery. Anybody catch how many snaps he got?

You are probably right that they finish a game or two below .500, which is what most expected before the season and which would indicate progress. OTOH, they could easily beat any -- and all -- of these teams, especially if they get Jaymo soon. I'm not saying I expect them to run the table, but against a pretty weak slate of teams (save for Minnesota) it could happen.

Man if Stafford had Ben Johnson as OC…

I trust Holmes if he sees a QB he loves, but I’d love to see another starting DL, CB, and LB, with some more depth at OL

And let’s not forget we missed a FG.

They had three time outs. They didn’t want to give the ball back after scoring. The problem was taking a shot on 3rd and 1 to a receiver who has missed most of the season and who was not in sync with the QB.

Yes.

Agree that the 3rd and 1 play was a disaster. They needed the first down and to milk the clock. But imagine this team next year with Jaymo, two firsts, and two seconds.

Brutal penalty.

Did Romo just say that 8 of the Lions 11 opponents this season are currently in playoff position?

Nice throw by Goff!

Is Sheila in the locker room now firing Campbell for his clock management?

Good first half. The Williams fumble was a major blemish but the team continued to fight.

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!

Looked like they missed a hold.

Von Miller on the injury cart…

Swift dancing by the marker.

Fumbles the snap and waltzes in. 🙄

Bad news. That will be hard to come back from.

Sack on 2nd and 2. No good.

Have I taken back everything I said in Week 2 about Williams yet? He is getting it done.
