1984Echoes

Gotta have ALL the pieces in place... and we... didn't.

Hah!!!

And so apparently is Japan, India, and Australia. Also: Britain, and even France (they'll get over their hurt feelings eventually...). Next: Add Singapore, the Philippines, South Korea, New Zealand and even Vietnam. And keep on going...

I'm on board.

This is correct.

Ancient history. And no longer relevant...

PS: I think you mean 343 yards... typo.

Yes. Both he and the Rams look like monsters. Forget draft position... I'm going to root for Stafford/ Rams to go all the way at this point...

Bounce it onto the goalpost and... over... That counts. Ravens 19-17.

Yep. That one hurts. Good effort Lions. Way to preserve our 2022 Draft Position!

61 Yard FG attempt? Tucker can hit that...

HAH!!! And hits Watkins for 36 yards... Good going Lions...

4th SACK!!! 4th and 19!!!

And... Harris gets the 3rd Lions sack of the game...

That's a little hard to do when the top 3 receivers are RB-TE-RB, with the top WR a DISTANT 3rd behind those three... 😉

And... He puts it up and... IT'S GOOD!!! 17-14 Lions, and a minute left for Baltimore...

Well... Time to put up or shut up right now for Santoso...

PS: I haven't seen enough of Goff to determine if he is a solution or not. What I have seen tells me he's good enough for at least this year and the next couple, but uncertain if he is "the guy" to get us to a Super Bowl. I mean, he's already done it. And I'm not against him. In fact, I've seen a lot of good, and very little bad. You may very well be right in that all of these check downs are for receivers who are not, or can't, get open enough to take those downfield shots. Or it's a confidence issue in his WR's to win those downfield battles and come down with the ball versus losing out to INT's... I would say that I haven't seen enough to make a good judgement call on what he actually is for us... But there are quite a lot of check downs there... I'm still giving him a vote of confidence even despite that...

I agree that he has taken some shots downfield. But very few completions downfield (we are probably at the bottom for "explosion" (more than 20 yards) receiving plays, without actually checking that...). Check down Charlie doesn't mean that he isn't taking some shots downfield but, rather, that the check downs are so overwhelming that it is indicative of (a) lacking receivers, (b) QB lacking either arm strength or downfield accuracy or both, or (c) both a WR & QB problem.

Hard to do. Must finish 6-1 to accomplish that...

That supports what you/we are seeing as check down check down check down... Doesn't it?

Jamaal scored. After review and a reversal of the "short-of-the-goal-line" call...

... Not strike out.

Hittin' Harold... Now is the time to...

YTD Lions receiving leaders (incl today), in catches: Hock - 18 Swift - 17 Williams - 13 Cephus - 8
