Motor City Sonics Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 You could say the defense is better, and it is, but honestly, this should not be 13-7, it should probably be 21 or 24-7 with all the dropped passes by the Rave-Ons Quote

Motown Bombers Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 This is basically how I play Madden. Just throw it to the same player every down. Quote
1984Echoes Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Jamaal scored. After review and a reversal of the "short-of-the-goal-line" call... Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 This game is an indictment of Jamie Collins and Trey Flowers. Quote

Goff has taken his shots deep. If they aren't open downfield and you keep chucking it downfield, you end up with plays like this last one by the Ravens. Quote

If they aren't open downfield and you keep chucking it downfield, you end up with plays like this last one by the Ravens. 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.

Motown Bombers Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Santoso has a career long of FG of 29 yards. That inspires confidence. Quote
1984Echoes Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 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... Quote

Motown Bombers Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 I have no confidence in the defense and Tucker has a great leg. Quote

buddha Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 imagine how that ravens receiver who dropped two wide open touchdowns feels right now? Quote
1984Echoes Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 And... Harris gets the 3rd Lions sack of the game... Quote
1984Echoes Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) 4th SACK!!! 4th and 19!!! Edited September 26, 2021 by 1984Echoes Quote
1984Echoes Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 HAH!!! And hits Watkins for 36 yards... Good going Lions... Quote
1984Echoes Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 61 Yard FG attempt? Tucker can hit that... Quote
