As a long time DWill supporter, don't get too excited. He won't be consistent enough to start every week. Not because he isn't good, but because he won't consistently get the carries.
I think it's a different situation this season. He's the only game in town until Stewart comes back... if ever. And against the best defense in the NFL he put up 76 yards for 4.75ypc. I'm extremely optimistic going forward with him. He hasn't had consistent work nor consistent play calling since 2009. He could completely explode against Buffalo next week. I'd be grabbing him in every league you can if he's out there right now. While people are still just as iffy on him as you he's a massive buy target for me right now. If he can put up 76 yards on 16 carries against Seattle I see the sky as the limit for him this season. I had high hopes for him coming into this year and that performance against Seattle was better than anything I could have hoped for going into yesterdays games.

I would add Eli. Sure, he made some horrific football decisions but with a healthy Nicks to go along with Cruz, Randle, Myers he has some great weapons and it looks like with that status of the running game they will have to air it out. Good FF recipe for success.
The problem with Gomer is that when you need him most he puts up one of his patented eggs. His big games rely too much on the lucky deep throw to Cruz.
While true, we may be seeing a different scenario this season. Once Eli settled in after that abysmal first half they looked rather unstoppable. If Randle can continue to be as good as he looked last night and Nicks can stay healthy? I really don't see how you stop this air attack... similar to his brothers team. If you cover Cruz and Nicks, Randle is in 1-on-1 and can beat the corner. If you cover Cruz, Nicks and Randle then Myers is literally just standing all alone in the middle of the field. No matter how you more the defense around someone is standing wide open with a lot of potential.

Dallas defense. I liked them going into this year and they looked better than their O last night.
Disagree by a lot... the Dallas defense was a mirage last night. Sure they got 6 turnovers but all 6 were gifts. And that offense looked completely inept to me all game. When Eli finally settled into the game Dallas couldn't cover anyone and Eli just ate them alive. If not for Scott's boneheaded play where he didn't turn around in time and it was a pick 6, Dallas somehow loses that game even with 5 turnovers. I think the Dallas defense will be on the field a lot this season if that offensive line doesn't get better. It looked a LOT better than it really was last night because Romo was taking 1 step drops and throwing the ball. And even with doing that hit was hurried or hit on about 13 plays and sacked on 2. If he actually held the ball for 2-3 seconds to let routes develop he'd probably have been sacked 12 times last night.
