[manchild98]

[manchild98]

Great head's up play Staff!

 

[biggunsbob]

Go lions !!! Have alot of stuff to do around the house ..Hope I can post some .

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn it throw it in the end zone or do that play on first down damn it.

 

[grandy]

Dropbron misses a TD

 

[biggunsbob]

E-drop strikes again. Come on catch that

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Ebron is a talentless piece of shit.

 

[manchild98]

Ebron drops a sure TD!

 

[biggunsbob]

Yet Another fg in the red zone .. tired of the putrid playcalling on 1st down in the zone

 

[everyoneneedsasmil]

Doors anyone else laugh a little bit when they hear Ebron designed as a "receiving tight end"? It would seem to imply he has skills as a receiver.

 

[tbone413]

It's infuriating how bad Ebron is. Honest to god how do you not catch that shit

 

[JScottWriter]

So ebron strikes again!

 

[boogerlovejoy]

A TE that is the worst blocker in the league coupled with average route running an possibly the worst hands in the league......tell me again LKP his TD problems are only because of scheme?

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Yet Another fg in the red zone .. tired of the putrid playcalling on 1st down in the zone

Dude.....we had a TD. Ebron dropped it. Not really fair to Stafford to have to score 2 touchdowns on every possession!

 

[biggunsbob]

Wast even tipped .

 

[mhughes0021]

When can we release him?

 

[biggunsbob]

Dude.....we had a TD. Ebron dropped it. Not really fair to Stafford to have to score 2 touchdowns on every possession!

I agreed .. just hated the first down call in the red zone .. I called the drop also. That play was good... why not throw it to Riddick on first down ?

 

[biggunsbob]

To much time Austin.
