Game 2: Lions @ Packers - Monday, September 20th 7:15pm

Isn't this defense supposed to be based on a strong pass rush? Goff might have time to eat his dinner in the pocket if he didn't eat already tonight.

ask and receive.

 

I mean to me the MNF commentators are wrong. It's a classic grounding. Yes there's a receiver 20 yards down the field that you can construe as an intended receiver. Literally pretty much every grounding situation ever involves pressure that affects a throw. If you're going to just assume that the throw gets there without the pressure then it kind of defeats the purpose of the rule.

 

Yeah, I don't get the "he meant to throw it way downfield". So what? He didn't. the ref's job isn't to determine intent. By rule what occurred was intentional grounding.

 

Yeah, I agree with you both. I’ve literally never heard anything other than did it make it past the line of scrimmage/outside the tackle box. Never anything about ‘intent’.

[PinaMadness]

Boy, what a mismatch that is.

[yourout]

What a terrible read by Stokes.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I think we might suck.

Everyone on the Packer defense looking around confused before the play.

That TD pass was pretty incredible.

They do that during and after most of the time too.

[adambr2]

I think we might suck.

 

We might. It honestly doesn't take a lot to go from a 13-3 team to a 7-10 team in this league.

The lack of communication and chemistry on this defense is staggering.

I’m behind on the DVR … just finished the Packers’ second drive that ended with a sack. 3 passes. SMH. Run the friggin’ ball.

[PeaveyFury]

I’m cautiously optimistic that we may finally have a competent special teams unit and coach.

[yourout]

It wont happen but I would actually be relieved if this week Guty and LaFleur came out and said....We screwed up hiring Barry. He has been replaced by the homeless guy living under the overpass and we expect an improvement.

[Fear The Chorizo]

If they see 6 or 7 guys in the box, they should run the damn ball every play until they see more.

[nodakfan17]

Honestly a street free agent would be better. Why is he even in the league?

I can’t really blame Lancaster. He’s a UDFA playing on reasonable 1-year contracts. It’s not his fault they haven’t found someone better. Dean Lowry’s situation is far more aggravating.

Sure if he was getting 8 snaps a game but he's out there a ton.

[young guns]

The good news is we can win a shootout.

You had to post it didnt you.

Sigh…too soon

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah.

The pressure in that last play lol Edited September 21, 2021 by OldSchoolSnapper

[homer]

Do they Lions know a) how much time is left and b) that they have three timeouts?

[yourout]

Way to many times the defense is looking around when the ball is snapped.

[SeaBass]

Glad we get a 17th game to fully "enjoy" this defense.
