We have a bunch of traffic cones that don't know what to do in pass pro we call linemen. When asked to go smack someone, they were not bad today, or most of the year. That's the white flag we finally raised. Took too damn long to do that. We hinted at it earlier this year, and didn't do it. Finally bit the bullet and didn't go pass happy all f'n day. F you Brady for not doing this a week earlier or more. Cost us atleast a game. Also finally committed to running with a straight heavy lineup. Again bout damn time! Worked in 2015 too, with a much worse pool of WR, But they caught balls at least.

We all know we need more out of the passing game, but CMC out and dropsies everywhere as well as a happy foot QB all lead to what we saw today: a staff that realized they must go the way the running game goes.

There are many levers that lead us here but I am glad they adjusted. 

Yes Sam is undoubtedly one of those that has been off too. 

I'd still contend with a wr corp that doesn't drop tds (that was a weak drop by Moore, bad call too but really can't hang on there thru the ground man?), lead the league in drops (+4 more today), a line that doesn't let everyone up the middle who dares to run a stunt against them, then we can maybe see just how serviceable he could be. The current BS makes it harder where he sits in the scheme of the NFL. Too many times he makes a throw and it's dropped. Makes a throw off perfect target, dropped. Others are just bad reads. It's really tough as some was really bad reads that gets us stuck others are bad drops. Like idk if he is baker Mayfield (that's a awesome line!) or David Carr right now.

We all screamed last year that it was all on teddy, really, are we still sure? I don't think teddy is that much better, just different.

As for Sam, he made the big throws he needed to on 3rd downs. Something we missed before today, but also wasn't asking to be way behind and need long conversions like normal. Big thing in the 1st games was not getting so far behind the sticks with CMC plus a much better safety valve in CMC. It's old ugly 1900 football today, but that's where we are. A better running team that can sprinkle in the pass right now.

Gronk is the GOAT of TEs.  

you seem to be unable to admit Sam has something to do with high drop amount.   I simply talk about all the factors that are going into it.   
 

the “drops” cost us just as much as having a QB so bad that it forced our staff into that game plan. 

 

Ozzie Newsome, Charlie Sanders, Sterling Sharpe, Tony Gonzales. lol @ Gronk.

I don't have a vendetta against him. I'm not upset at Darnold. He is what he is. I'm upset at the decision makers who brought him here expecting something different. The OL featuring Bell at LT and Chandler at RT was even worse than this one. You just clinged to Darnold because he looks like what you want a your QB to look like. Sorry it didn't work out 

You are ridiculous. 

I cling to him because it's the most arm talent we have seen here in years.

Plan and simple.

Nobody should have expected him to come in and be top 20 this year. That was unrealistic.

oh come the fug on.... 🤣

This is the NFL, not some church social.

"Asking a lot."  Oh poor receivers have to do their fuging jobs and not drop passes...BOO HOO. 

it depends on which balls we are talking about.

but yes, Sam has a role in plenty of them.  That’s football.  

take the Freeman one.  It’s why Aikman, a fellow QB, initially was just going to blame Freeman.  Then he watched the replay and went on and on about what a bad ball it really was to ask of your RB.    That’s  the QB being part of the reason it was an incompletion.  That happens in football. 
 

Cam did it often on short passes throwing them 200 mph.  The QB was lowering odds of success because of the ball thrown.  Cam could hit someone in the chest and it be low odds of being caught because the WR was 4 yards away.

So? What does that have to do with you a Mod, race baiting someone? 

I'll say it again, you're not familiar with that poster's history in these matters.

Why don't you start your own forum? You can moderate it however you see fit. Ban anyone who offers the slightest of negative feedback. I mean, you won't have many posters but you'll have the echo chamber that you seek.

Yeah, it's time for a change. You should leave. You're obviously not happy here and it's miserable for you. Pull the plug.

 

I may not be perfect. But your Race Baiting, coming from a mod, has to be unacceptable.

If you aren't top 20 in your 4th NFL season you're a bust. Plain and simple. That means you're basically in the bottom third of starting NFL QBs. Which he is. He's basically the worst non-rookie starter in the league.

Every rookie that played today was asked a lot more of than Sam was today.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By rayzor · Posted

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.

      He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.
