Unfortunately not the best day for Cyclones in the NFL today. Both RBs were outshined by their teammates (Herbert for the Bears and Carter for the Jets). Lazard and Kolar were out today, but looks like Lively took the rookie TE job from Kolar. Last one up is tomorrow night with Enyi and Denver.

Kolar is on IR after surgery for sports hernia.

Buffalo still should have taken Breece, they would have been damn near unstoppable.
I completely understand this sentiment from an ISU perspective, and it would have been a much better situation for Breece, but Buffalo needed a CB. Their #1 from last year is coming off a torn ACL, and their #2 signed with Pittsburgh. Corner was by far their biggest need, so that's what they drafted in the first round.

Had Breece fallen to Buffalo in the second round they would have 100% taken him. But to say they made a mistake by not taking him is just bad message board GMing.

Besides, did you watch the Bills v Rams? Buffalo already looks pretty damn unstoppable.

Guy had no chance most of the time. Would get a handoff and have a guy(s) all over him.
David had a terrible day, but the backup Herbert had 9 for 45 and was in the game for goal line work, scored their go ahead TD I believe. Hate to say it, but it appears to be the beginning to the end of David's tenure in Chicago.

This was my thought as well. Looked pretty obvious that they went away from David while he was in the game. At the same time, it looked like whoever they were playing had one less man in the box when Herbert was in the game. Hard to know, but may have just been an odd matchup thing.

The stuff they ran for Herbert had much better blocking. Almost every time David got the ball, the blocking was piss poor.

I think it is really hard to actually evaluate anything from that game. The conditions were a mess. Any play could have likely been caused by the conditions vs actually being better or worse. One of those, just get through it, be happy with the W for Chicago, and see what happens next week in (hopefully) better conditions.

Have heard that Herbert fits their run blocking scheme a bit better than David. I'm not really a big x's and o's guy, so I don't really understand all of that, but it's what I've heard.

Being reported that KO worked out with the Raiders today. Had previously linked a tweet that said he signed but I deleted because I’m not so sure it’s legit..

Would be interesting to see if it goes through though.

David with some good tough carries on that drive and then at least shaded the defenders enough to let Fields find the TD.
