There was a better chance of the D getting a takeaway than the offense driving 75 yards for a TD. The offense was utterly putrid yesterday.

Yea, I'm not sure relying on an offense that scored 7 points all game to drive down the field for a TD with a minute to go was a better option. Nothing stopping SF from just not taking the TD either. Cohen getting lucky on that return kind of hid the fact that they were getting outplayed by SF for a good chunk of the game.

Caldwell experiment needs to be over. Give interim to one of the coordinators and see if they can hack it. Otherwise blow it up.

Fox is absolutely one of those coaches without an ounce of creativity or intellect who's just like well maybe the other team will make a mistake and we shouldn't actually attempt to try to do anything out of the box he's garbage and it's fantastic that he's the current worst coach in bears history , following a coach that was poo poo on nonstop for being an outsider idiot not fit for the NFL unlike John Fox a Career Top Guy Who Knows How To Win

Lions game prep sucks dicks. Shouldn't get blown out in the first half of a game by the worst offense in the league when you have twice the time to prepare for them. I can easily see them losing a few of the last games. Even to the sorry poo poo rear end Bears.

Also the NFC South has three teams in the hunt and they all beat the Lions. We're not getting in unless we run the table.

If the McCaskeys were cared in the slightest or had an ounce of competence, they'd fire Fox now. I know they don't fire in season but Fox is just sabotaging the future on his way out. Shaheen played 9 snaps. Apparently some 3rd year undrafted guy the Browns cut is more important to the franchise than the guy you used a 3rd round pick on.

Jim Caldwell is a loving moron who doesn’t cut Staff loose until they’re already ten points in the hole because he’s spent 3 quarters trying to establish the run with a fumble prone midget and a pass catching back that for some reason is running up the gut on 3rd and 1

The Lions consistently start games falling behind by two or three scores. Caldwell and JBC. continuously call lovely, throw away plays to "control the clock" while down 10-17 points. The run game is always poo poo and Stafford has to hold onto the ball to make plays with his arm. Defenses are just pinning back their ears and loving blasting him. Other teams make adjustments all the time but the Lions lose old man Ngata and they get destroyed by the run, forever. The last several weeks, the defense has had plays where only 10 men are on the field including red zone plays. This past week they had a play with only NINE players on the field. This entire coaching staff is loving poo poo and needs to go. Fire them all right now. Let Stafford run the offense drawing plays on his hand. Defense can do whatever, since they can't even put the right amount of players on the field and fall for every read option and play action anyways. gently caress them. Let's never run or punt again. Let Prater try and kick 75 yard field goals and go deep to Galloday and Marvin Jones for the rest of the plays.

Detroit Press is having fun: Yet almost every week, Caldwell – and his offensive coordinator, Jim Bob Cooter –virtually straight-jacket Stafford to start every game then wait until they’re desperate to let him loose. It happened again Sunday in the third quarter, when the offensive brain trust dialed up a pass-heavy series in two of the first three series. Both led to touchdowns. The odd series of those first three: Run. Short pass. Run. Punt. That last run was emblematic of the Lions’ hardheadedness. On third-and-1, the Lions asked Theo Riddick – whose specialty is catching the ball in space – to bulldoze up the middle. Behind a receiver – Kenny Golladay – who’d motioned in from the edge and tried to act as a fullback.

I had heard that Stafford does not have a break? Just sprained and bruised? Not that helps that much with your throwing hand.

I was watching some tape of the Vikings today trying to figure out why Keenum is looking so good (besides having a talented offensive roster around him, which is certainly the main reason). My conclusion is his pocket sense (or whatever you call that, his ability to sense pressure and move without getting flustered and lowering his eyes) and the quickness with which he gets through progressions at the same time. He never stares down receivers, and he moves quickly from a first look that doesn't seem open. In the pocket, he almost never takes his eyes off downfield even when there is pressure all around. There was an interesting play against the Falcons where there was a man on the ground trying to grab at his feet. He just calmly stepped away, no further than he needed to, and dropped a dime downfield where he had his eyes the whole time. How did he even see that man on the ground, or know about the defender coming from directly behind him and throw it at the perfect time? I honestly have no idea. Good peripheral vision and an ability to take in lots of information is my best guess, but still, hard to see a man lying on the ground right near you with a football helmet on and your eyes downfield. But that's my idea how a quarterback that doesn't have any extremely notable physical stats or skills is playing so dang well (in addition to a good receiver corps, offensive line, and a run game that must be respected, which obviously are things any QB would kill for).

He's had some standout games with other teams, but being on the Jeff Fisher Rams will make any QB look terrible. Glad to see he's escaped. Whoever the Vikings o-line coach is deserves some major award, though. That line was straight trash two years ago, and now it seems like the one of the top lines in the league. I'm sure ditching Kalil helped a bit.

https://twitter.com/BenFennell_NFL/status/937851903710556160 I'm really glad AJ is back, I knew instantly when seeing him play against Chicago for a bit in Week 4 that he had something special with that vision edit: I will give a lot of credit to the playcalling here, LG Taylor pulling over draws two linebackers with him and opens up the left half of the field. The Tampa OLB also moves inside and then tries to go through the gap, Jones recognizes it, and knows that he only has to contend against a DE and CB (who Nelson is actively blocking) to get through to the end zone SKULL.GIF fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Dec 5, 2017 |

I believe it's Tony Sporano (which of course I always read as Tony Soprano). Apparently he begged Zimmer in the off-season to allot some resources to the O-line, and the primary result of that was the free-agent acquisitions Mike Remmers and Riley Reiff at right and left tackle, positions that are so so crucial to the run game. They're not an absolutely dominant line, but they seem to definitely hold their own against almost any defense. An offensive line is a delicate thing though and can fall apart fast. Lose a few players to injuries, or just have a bad run and all the sudden your quarterback has to scramble every play and gets creamed half the time, open receivers aren't hit, your runners are getting stuffed and the entire team hates you. Hopefully they can keep that up, I'm not a Vikings fan per se but I like the way they're playing and hope they can keep it going.

what’s funny is Reiff and Remmers we’re both plan B for lineman. The Vikings did try to re-sign Kalil and went hard for Ricky Wagner before losing out to Detroit. Surprising how well it’s worked out, though Remmers has missed nearly 5 straight games. he was playing really well up till then.

Yeah, sometimes poo poo like that just works out well, but there's always someone on the other side who ends up getting hosed. Real crazy that Thielen went undrafted and Diggs was a 5th round pick. That allowed them to load up on other positions and it has paid off big time. Minnesota is now one of the few I consider must-watch teams. I think it was their game against the Redskins that really turned me on to them with Keenum in the QB slot, then the follow-up against the Rams. I find myself rooting for Keenum: he doesn't have the arm or the accuracy of Bradford, and I honestly don't know how he compares to Bridgewater (if someone could tell me that'd be rad). I'd love for him to find a place on this winning team and take them to the superbowl. IMO that's the kind of awesome story the NFL should be all about.
