Mayfield forces a bad throw to the overrated malcontent Beckham which results in an INT.

Beckham reportedly already wants out of Cleveland. If I were a head coach I wouldn't want him on my team, even as talented as he is.

Jared Goff is a little off on his throws to start the game vs the Cowboys. Fortunately he has "Mr Mediocrity" at the helm of the opposition.

I'm watching the Cowboys - Rams game. Johnny Hekker is one of the best punters ever.

A quality kicking game is a huge advantage. Part of the reason the Ravens have been successful is because of their excellent kicking game with kicker Justin Tucker and punter Sam Koch.

Gurley has become very poor as a receiver out of the backfield, and that is part of the reason the Rams’ offense is struggling. defenses are pressuring Goff, and so he tries to go to his hot receiver. when that’s Gurley, he rarely is even looking for the ball or even getting into his route. Troy Aikman rightly called him out on that just now.

also in this Cowboys-Rams contest, safeties Jeff Heath and Eric Weddle, respectively, have made the opposing quarterbacks have to throw balls off target due to being in excellent defensive position. sadly, this is a rare enough occurrence in the modern NFL that it is worthy of note.

Jason Witten never looked fast even at his peak, but here he is still making catches and playing at a high level. More than cool that he's number two all-time in receptions at his position and still playing when blacks have been "in charge" when it comes to receiving for some 40 years.

Beautiful one-handed catch by Jason Witton on a ball thrown behind him for a touchdown.

I credit Witten as the catalyst for the resurgence, success and dominance of white TEs in the past 10+ years.

Witten with a great catch for the TD on a pass thrown behind him by Prescott.

Kupp with no catches so far. If he continues to be faded out of the Rams offense, that may qualify as the most outrageous example of the Caste System I've ever seen.

Is Kupp suffering from some nagging injury? Maybe that's why he's being given limited snaps.

I've been busy running in and out, but I hear that the Cowboys won the toss but Dak opted to have the Rams receive first, but did not defer. So the Rams will also get the ball to start the 2nd half. I've never seen this happen ever. According to Aikman, the official asked Dak twice. Wild.

Higbee seems to have replaced Kupp as a target hog in the Rams offense. Glad for Tyler, but apparently it's too much for both Higbee and Kupp to kick ass, Caste System and all. Might bring back memories of the '99 season and the Panthers with Patrick Jeffers and Wesley Walls

Jared Goff should have been able to walk into the end zone on a fake handoff, but Sean Lee makes a great play to stop him. Slow-footed sumo # 71 should have had the easy block, but for some reason wasn't able to realize his upside on this play, allowing the lunch-pailer to make the tackle. Rams score on the next play, a nice throw to Gurley who was paying attention this time. Jeff Heath was on coverage so expect him to be roasted for it.

The color announcer for the Browns game just called the great Joe Schobert "athletic." Clearly he's either delusional or suffering from Alzheimers and forgot the rules of the game.

Kupp without a catch nearly at halftime. In the space of several weeks he's gone from one of the top five receivers in the NFL, maybe top three, to secondary, backup status. And of course there won't be a peep from the "mainstream" media.

Rams getting blown out. Maybe McVay will realize what is missing in the offense. An All-Pro type White receiver named Kupp.

The Rams had a completed pass on their last possession that was negated due to a holding penalty. Then after Goff throws a pic after he forces the ball to Woods, Dak is almost sacked, and throws the ball away, Dallas gets the benefit of another call with an illegal hands to the face call.

Higbee looks good in this game but this ignoring of Kupp is bullsh%$.

George Kittle is having another big day. It's all tied at half time 10-10 between the 49ers & Falcons.

Kittle with a career high 10 catches two-thirds of the way through the third quarter

I stepped away from the game for awhile. Have the announcers brought up Cooper
Kupp?
