I think Decker’s attitude last year was less about Sewell and more about fans and media questioning his toughness. You know, people who don’t play football questioning the toughness of someone who does. No one knows what his injury needs more than him and the team. The team never seemed to waiver on him.
What’s the lottery really incentivize? If you are already bad wouldn’t you tank anyway to get the best odds? Seems like that’s exactly what is going on. Except that the NHL and NBA can decide who gets the pick.
EDIT: Never mind. Been addressed already.
Also depends on the current down and game situation. Needing an extra yard for a 1st down on 1st down or up big is also not worth it.
As to awareness, I’m guessing he has good awareness (he’s a great player). He just needed coaching on about the correct decision to make in this offense. He probably danced a lot in HS and College because of how good he is and he needs coaching to break that habit.
I’m fine with my big play RB not seeking out contact. Step out of bounds or get down when surrounded. That position already is one of the most physical, it makes no sense to seek out contact when none is needed.
Last bit of complaining. The NFL offices routinely call down and have penalties changed on the field and they chose not to on each of these. That’s all you need to know.
If the Rams had just gotten beat I’d watch this game tonight and hope the Lions win. I could put this one on us for losing winnable games and having our hopes rest on Baker Mayfield’s shoulders. But the way that played out was so unbelievable that it’s impossible for me to care at all. If the Lion’s picks are improved in any way by losing then I WANT them to lose. Otherwise I do not care and will be fine with GB in and Seattle out.
What? Did you think this was some sort of breaking news post? It was a comment about a list of things that were not called that I was not the only person in the world to see.
Officials made tonight’s game unwatchable. That roughing the kicker, missed intentional grounding, fake unnecessary roughness, missed 2x taunting personal fouls all in like 5 minutes. That’s almost unbelievable. Almost.
How can so many officials get so many calls wrong in such a short period of time. This has been embarrassing and frustrating and nobody but us will ever remember it.
Lions should throw the game tonight to combat this bullshit.
