Bye 31 - det 10. No pressure from the dline allows byes qb to throw for a career high. Fox goes out with a concussion so grandy has to add head to the injury report next week.

Dline does get pressure. Just no sacks.


Romo was less than less than 50% completion last game.

 

[tigermud]

D-Line still needs to do a better job.

Bye lost its best two defensive players so I expect the offense to torch them.

Detroit 44 Bye 35.

The Lions are playing Jacksonville this weekend???

Pressure means the QB still has a chance to complete a pass. We need sacks..make it tougher to get a first down and maybe force a fumble.

plus it pushes them back on the next down making it more difficult to get a first down. Pressure and hurries are great but sacks are much better.

not to mention a better chance at turnovers since pressure usually leads to a hurried/bad throw or strip sacks. Something we have not done much of this year unless we leave a second early....we are champions of the encroachment strip sack lol.

We get sacks and force fumbles every time we jump offsides.

Brilliant analogy, boys....sacks are better than hurries or knockdowns? Who knew?!

Yikes....must be a bye week lol

This just in, scoring a touchdown is better than kicking a field goal.

were pointing out the obvious cause lkp keeps saying how awesome we are at hurries....cause that's a completely relevant stat.

Damn it. When did they change that? Can't trust Goodell, he's always trying to screw us.

 

[tigermud]

I heard getting the ball first to start the second half is better than getting it to start the game and going 3 in out.

 

[michiganalex]

lmao

Well, thanks for clearing that up.

Just cause I was curious I looked it up....we had 2 games where we failed to get at least 1 first down on the opening drive (Arizona and Dallas). We had a penalty on the opening drive of both of those games.

I haven't seen all the coin toss's so I'm wondering did we loss them all or did Schwartz just want the ball first? 8 games in a row going offense first, 8 times in a row without scoring.

I was curious also, total points in that first possession through 8 games

ZERO

8-0 in getting the ball first, ZERO total points.
