It's amazing either how bad Julio is in the red zone for his size, or how poorly the coaching staff uses him there. No TDs this year, and hasn't topped 8 since 2012, with most coming on big plays rather than red zone TDs.

He gets a ton of attention and can’t really get his usual separation in that close. But definitely the weakest part of his game — 6’2” ain’t huge, but he still should be able to bully corners with speed/ups.

Double quote not working. 

1) Yeah I know but you injected him into the convo for some unknown reason.

2) Probably not the best decision (dunno if there was a better option as I didn’t see zoomed out replay), but he still was open enough and was delivered a very well-thrown ball. DB just made a great play — sometimes you’ve just gotta tip your cap.

 

And honestly, after that meltdown, we didn’t exactly deserve that game. 

1. My point had nothing to do with Cam at all, just a recent example that was on the top of my mind of QBs being blamed for picks whether they're their fault or not. 

2. When you're in game tying field goal range, you don't risk that. Agree it was a good defensive play, and poor play by Hooper but also was a poor decision considering the circumstances.

Bears/Ravens in OT, I hope it tires the poo outta them

You take Julio’s 300 yard game vs Bene last year and he would have 1109yd last season. Julio is Josh Norman’s bitchhh

Tons of receivers are doubled all the time in the red zone and still get the TDs there. And I thought he was like 6'3" and has pretty long arms and can outjump most corners.

Looking at our draft picks this year, we shouldve done all we could to move up for Leonard.

HOLY SH8T this action right now is insane. Peterson, Fournette, the Rams KR, Niners TD, Lions getting the ball back. WOW.

The NFL always circles the wagons and doubles down and protects their refs even when they make blatant mistakes, but I don't see anyway how they can do it this time with that Pats/Jets call. They claimed the replay process would be handled by the league office this year to ensure a better process, but it seems worse than ever culminating with that disaster of a call. Just inexcusable. Someone has to get fired over that one.

 Not to interject but you're not crazy I understood what you said the first time and I understood what point you were trying to make

Fair enough on both points. I don’t blame Cam for his tipped ball INTs, and this is even harder to pin on QB since it was in breadbasket. As for decision, I don’t totally mind being aggressive and going for jugular — stuff like this occasionally happens as a result, and after a half-decade+ of ‘Smittyball’ maybe I’m not as risk averse as I should be.

Quoting Bob Uecker in Major League 2, "amazing how a new uniform can change your opinion on a guy".  AD may be a dick but he put the Cardinals up 7-0 and I love it.

Lions are never out of a game. It is insane.
