You can tell its our oline blocking scheme. You watch them and they have no clue where they are supposed to be or who they are supposed to block. Everytime a guy came free on a blitz we were double teaming someone on the opposite side of the line. WHY?!!! I watch a little bit of the pats game and their oline is responsible for a gap....and you never leave that gap. Our guys are running all over the damn place....its a god damned shit show lol.

The time where Reiff went to help Laken inside with Griffen right in front of him. I lost it.
Vikings overload alot but still. Leave a RB in more. Have a TE chip. Something. And still with a blitzer, that is only 5 guys coming.

Is Stafford still in charge of calling the blocking schemes for the O-Line?

from time to time....but when he wasn't pressured he had all freaking day. We don't bring consistent pressue and that's the problem. Right now its Ansah gets there or else theres a clean pocket. We don't blitz....and we don't cover. Therefor were 29th in points allowed. Our defense blows. Were 30th in points for. Our offense blows.
You get hired to complete a job. Caldwell and Lomdoucho's job was to improve Stafford. They have failed miserably at their jobs. So why do they still have jobs? Cause were the lions and we have shitty owners and they have a shitty GM.
4 sacks and 11 QB hits. More pressure than we got in 2014. This secondary just lost the ability to cover when there is no pressure. It'll be one guy here, another guy there. It's not one consistent guy. And those plays add up and some of them go for huge chunks.
-- Caldwell won't confirm whether Stafford or Swanson call protections. "That's strategic."
Based on observations it appears they both think the other one is. I know it was Stafford early on, it appears it is still Stafford to me.

Maybe they made adjustments to play right into the Vikings game plan thinking the Vikings would make adjustments at halftime. Only the Vikings didn't make adjustments and the lions adjustments backfired.

It's probably both. It always is. When you see a C running up to the line and he's pointing in all directions, he's calling out protections. Same with the QB. You see both Stafford and Swanson doing it. Caldwell is fooling nobody with his "we're not telling you" routine. This guy is really starting to bother the hell out of me.....wow

Bring Raoila back, and I'm dead serious. No way are either Swanson or Stafford capable of calling protections at the line. How has this gone on so long, its borderline neglect.
