3 targets & 2 catches.

I thought Vance would get more targets than he did considering what happened in the preseason. When the first 2 or 3 targets to a TE went to Celek, I thought Vance wasn't playing. Gabbert to McDonald in the redzone is a thing. I'm lovin it.

that's the bottom line!!

proved it again after game 1..

1 drop & a TD catch..

HOPE is in the air !!

I knew Vance was playing. He gave up on a block on one of the first plays of the game and the guy he was supposed to block tackled Gabbert for a few yard gain.....when Gabbert would have had a huge run if Vance did his job.

LOL. He catches TD's now. I've never seen him catch anything before.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I can't say he catches like a girl because that would be way too offensive to women worldwide.
Could have had another td. Too inconsistent

Still can't catch consistently.
As soon as he dropped that second target the team deflated. It wouldn't have been a TD but it would have been a huge gain. He needs consistency but he should still be getting more looks.
Crippling drop after that great catch and run. Hard to rely on this guy.

Yeah that one hurt. Coulda been a TD if not we'd instantly we in FG range and Gabbert doesn't force a throw the next down. Still optimistic. We're right there.
