The Lions game was actually better than this Cowboys/Skins game.

Daniel>>McCoy=Dak>>>>Stafford.

The Lions game was actually better than this Cowboys/Skins game.

Even the first half - Matt 16-20 98 yards. That's pathetic.

 

[tigermud]

Certainly not one of the more memorable Turkey day games, these 2018 lions are rather pathetic

 

[tigermud]

That’s nice but nobody gives a shit and nor should they

Not so fun fact: The fumble recovery by Davis was returned 21 yards -- a franchise record by a Lions linebacker. Seems odd they never had one that long before.

Didn't Nevin return one for a td that was 40 yards or so

He said linebacker....

 

[kmd47]

We like to put it on JBC but the reason why the dink and dunk was put in place was because Matt couldn't hit receivers downfield in the Lombardi pass attack. They had to dumb it down.

We don't throw the ball deep because the line couldn't protect Stafford all of a sudden after a nice start.... Honestly didn't think just losing TJ would make the line so shit. I mean did you watch the game? We had 1 NFL quality receiver out there at best, and were playing one of the, if not the best, defenses in the game. I get Staff sucked today and both picks were awful but that scheme is in place the last couple weeks so Stafford wouldn't get killed and you can't throw the ball downfield when there is 0 separation from your WR's... IDK wtf has happened from last year to this year but Matthew just looks lost and not confident in anything he's doing...

 

[Mitchrapp]

Linebacker not CB. You'd think a speed linebacker in the past 80+ years 21 wouldn't be the record. I'd be curious what the high is on other teams..

I wasn't referring just to today but his career. I mean with Lombardi and I know they have Calvin, but they went deep a lot just didn't like his deep ball. We can blame the OL but it's when Matt has time he's still in-accurate. Misses that good QB don't.



Look at NO, do they have better receivers or does their QB make them look better. Even when we had Calvin Matt had some awful years. '12-'14 to name a few.

He said linebacker....

Ah, my bad

 

[brewer229]

He said linebacker....

He does have the coverage skills of one. I say it should count.

 

[Mitchrapp]

3 TD's for Brees tonight. The receivers before tonight 1 guy had 6 catches 0 TD, 2nd guy had 8 catches 1TD and 3rd guy had 0 catches. No more excuses about the weapons Matt doesn't have.

Two dropped TDs as well.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Another noob. 4th TD guy had 5 catches before tonight.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Btw, all 4 undrafted.

 

[manchild98]

Brees was just 15-22 but 4 TD's. Meanwhile Matt Ryan has some fantastic weapons and that team is 4-7 as well.

Not often NO will run more than pass.
