Motor City Sonics Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Super Bowl Champs of the past 2023 Kansas City Chiefs. Started 1-1 2022 KC Chiefs Started 2-1 2021 LA Rams 3-1 2020 Tampa Bay 1-1 2019 Chiefs 6-4 2018 New England 1-2 2017 Philadelphia 1-1 2016 New England 3-1 Last team to win a Super Bowl to start 4-0 were the 2015 Denver Broncos I have complete trust in this Head Coach to get it right and more than trust in the GM to find that big-bodied WR somewhere that yes, they are missing............. But honestly - if Goff is on his game today, they win. Maybe........just maybe..........this team has been snacking a bit too much on it's own hype. It does happen from time to time. Cowboys lost at home 44-19. That already makes me feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Oh, and another thing. I thought this year we might take a slight step backwards. Couple of reasons, they avoided devastating injuries for long stretches last year and they are now the hunted. Teams get up to play the Lions now and that makes it harder to surprise anyone. To quote Rocky Balboa, it's not how hard you hit its how hard you can get hit and keep going. If this team is like I think they are, this might be exactly the thing they need. Defense held opponents to 20 points two straight weeks. When (not if) the offense starts clicking - that should be enough - at least most weeks. I don't know. All I know is my life is not really changing one way or another. But the cowboys lose. TEEE HEEE and lost bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 (edited) All game long, I was screaming to give the ball to Montgomery. After last week, I knew he could take us on his shoulders, control the clock and eventually score. But the Lions game plan was to go after the Bucs injured secondary. And they wouldn't deviate from that idea, even when it was obvious Goff wasn't on top of his game. This game was lost by our impatient coaches, constantly going for the big play that wasn't there. Bummer... Edit; at least we have the Tigers. Lmao Edited September 15 by Sports_Freak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 You can't have 463 total yards on offense and only get one TD out of that. This redzone offense hasn't looked good through two games. This is where LaPorta, St.Brown, and Montgomery should be maximized and they are being wasted or not utilized instead. I don't know why Ben Johnson had a fetish today for having Goff both throw over the middle and repeatedly throw well short of the down marker. There were two plays, at the end of the game, where Goff had plays designed to and did throw over the middle. Had the WRs caught those two passes they would have Crowelled themselves by staying in bounds and letting the clock run out. I felt the constant throwing short over the middle seemed particularly excessive today, especially late in the game when it was critical they pick up firsts and/or stop the clock. Maybe I'm over exaggerating this pronlem though due to them losing it whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 (edited) Adam Thielen 1,000 yards last year Short Term Not a big body, but 6-2 with experience Not a speedster, but they need that first down catch thing they had from JR last year Wouldn't cost much Free him from the Hell of Carolina 5th round pick could do it Edited September 16 by Motor City Sonics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it twice at the end of the game which was especially egregious because had they been tackled short the game would be over. He need to work LaPorta in to getting open deeper down field and in the redzone and that just didn't happen. Maybe that was on LaPorta, maybe Tampa just had tight coverage, maybe it was on Johnson's play designs. Last week it was St. Brown and LaPorta who were ghosts and not targeted nearly enough. This week St. Brown has a better game but LaPorta is still a nonexistent part of this offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of passes short of the receivers, too. Goff is not in sync yet. Maybe next week Ben can get back to the run game and setting up play action off of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unusual. If he takes a sack in the 4th, instead of trying an out of character Superman throw, we kick a FG instead of a pick and probably win. Not a great day for Ben or Dan. Ben is struggling with the versatility and the many weapons on this offense. He didn’t adjust to TB and what they were doing. I was impressed with TB defense. Reminded me a lot of the Lions last year doing it with young guys that aren’t household names yet. Todd Bowles is underrated as a defensive guru. Not a great day for the OL. Too much pressure on Goff and didn’t keep a good pocket very often. They were the least to blame of the problem groups but they still need to be better. Not a great day for the refs. They missed a bunch of calls especially in the first half. It’s part of the game and not why they lost but they missed multiple PI calls and yet called a really soft on on Arnold on the first drive. It was a good day for the defense. They played very well against a really good offense with weapons. Keeping the total yardage to 216 with 2 picks and 2-10 on 3rd down should have been good enough to win. Hutch has taken his game to another level and it’s awesome to watch. Not going to panic yet but next week will tell if we have real problems with the offense or not. Hopefully, Amon-Ra is not injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Hutchinson is on pace for 46 sacks. I believe that would be a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
