Lions vs Ravens MNF Thread

[TLO]

Should be an interesting game.

Lions 27
Ravens 21

[O.city]

Should be a good game. Megatron might have 500 yards and 9 TDs after what that dumb shit Matt Elam said about him.

[ChiefRocka]

I need 3 TDs from the "old man" tonight to win fantasy.

[ThaVirus]

I have no idea who will take this one.

Both teams are inconsistent as hell. The Lions have a shit ton more talent but the Ravens are more mentally tough and desperately need this win. Shit, both teams need it.

[Easy 6]

I've got detroit, they looked bad last week so i expect them to be true to their erratic form and look good tonight at home... look for an insulted megatron to dismantle the ravens secondary.

[Halfcan]

I hope ravens lose!

I wish you'd stop predicting the score in the OP.

I still like you Big Smoke. You're like the little brother I never had and whose ass I most definitely could kick.

ROYALS FANS FOREVER!!!

[TLO]

Megatron TD coming up.

[TLO]

Or, maybe a Reggie Bush TD.

Lions about to go up 7-0

[stonedstooge]

Ravens D getting sliced and diced

[Dylan]

wow - ravens had them stopped on third down if not for the penalty on the qb

TD Lions

[Easy 6]

Welp, Elam was right, he's washed up...

[TLO]

Wow...

[cdcox]

BS call that had too big of an effect.

[TribalElder]

this game is like... this thread.... slowwwww going

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Stafford's mechanics get worse every year.

[O.city]

If stafford had any type of mechanics, look out

[doomy3]

Stafford is wildly inaccurate. It would be interesting to see how his career trajectory would have gone so far if he didn't have the best WR on the planet catching jump balls.

And as I type that, Calvin drops his second pass of the night.

[Pepe Silvia]

Is Megatron high tonight? Or is it Stafford?

[cdcox]

Cut Megatron./CP

[ThaVirus]

Cut Megatron./CP

Keenan Allen's better/ CP

[kcxiv]

Cut Megatron./CP

He's washed up, time to get rid of him a year early rather then a year to late /CP

[O.city]

Lions DBS are awful

[TribalElder]

"He's pretty old, so I don't know how physical he'll be," Elam said, via the Detroit Free Press. "He's a big guy, but he's older. I guess when they get older they're not going to be as physical, you know what I'm saying? We're going to have to be physical, make him uncomfortable."

[Pepe Silvia]

Oh God

['Hamas' Jenkins]

This bullshit is ruining the game.

[tk13]

The Ravens offense is really just someone playing Madden come to life. Just chuck it up and go.

[Dylan]

Oh God

a little help from the refs :D

[doomy3]

I cannot stand all of these bullshit penalties. It's really weird, but in a year where the Chiefs are as good as they are and every game impacting our playoff matchups, it is much less enjoyable watching the games because of these penalties. You basically can't play defense.

[O.city]

How in the balls was that a penalty?

[Easy 6]

Calvin Dropson

Megadrop

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

[Pepe Silvia]

a little help from the refs :D

I blame Vegas.

[Saul Good]

How is it not intentional grounding because a receiver is in the area when he threw it literally 30 yards out of bounds?

[O.city]

After rewarding that, I guess you could say the guy beer turned to look for the ball but they called unnecessary roughness

[GloryDayz]

Does megatron get a talking to?

[Dylan]

I don't get it. why didn't harbaugh call a TO?

[GloryDayz]

And what sucks, we won't get much said about the Chiefs as I'm sure they'll focus on the Cowboys.

[TribalElder]

I wonder if Puff Daddy is dropping something tonight too

Calvin is dropping shit

so does that mean... Johnson is dropping shit

[TribalElder]

Does megatron get a talking to?

he gets a double dose of stickem

[GloryDayz]

No Chiefs.... Fuck these fags!

[cdcox]

LOL at Cam Newton arguing that he should be on the hands team.

I wonder who actually watches Gruden's Grinders willingly?

WTF was that hit on Flacco...damn right on his knee - no penalty?

[keg in kc]

That should've been flagged.

I can't even watch hits like that. Makes me knees cringe.

Detroit's defense is like watching a WWF match

Perhaps it's a make-up for the rear-naked-choke they missed????

[GloryDayz]

Sorry, fuck QBs!!

[cdcox]

Do not throw the blitzing LB into your QB's knee.

F the Lions - bunch of dirty players.

hope they hold on to Schwartz forever - that'll leave a mark.

This is easily one of the three worst officiated games i've watched this year.

Wow, the uncalled slam... Dirty Ravens!

TD, but I bet Ravens win with a Tucker FG.

LMAO Timeouts aren't really that important.

That is the clutch we're looking for.

Seems like Detroit should conserve clock if the Ravens start moving the ball.

Flacco doesn't have far to go...
Now he has 5 yds farther.

uh oh...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Great throw & catch... LMAO

[tk13]

Wow. Clutch strike on 3rd down. Ravens close to FG range... Tucker can bomb it.

[Bugeater]

Okay, now the Lions are in trouble.

[cdcox]

Seems like Detroit should conserve clock if the Ravens start moving the ball.

Definitely now.

[GloryDayz]

LOL, I think that's game...

[Pepe Silvia]

3rd and Schwartz.

[ThaVirus]

Jacoby Jones is pretty clutch, no?

[Red Dawg]

That is what you call ripping a throw. Tyler Bray can do that.

[Red Dawg]

LOL, I think that's game...

Against a Gun Cunningham defense? No way.

[ThaVirus]

Tucker will miss anything further than 45. I have a feeling.

[Pepe Silvia]

Don't tell me Detroit is trying to break the sound record too?

[Bugeater]

Lions should've used a timeout there.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Schwartz is such a dumb fuck. He should be calling TO here.

[cdcox]

Detroit is full retard.

[DJ's left nut]

Well that was certainly a batshit call - a draw up the middle on 3rd and 10?

Does he really think Tucker has a 60 yarder in him? I know Tucker's a good kicker, but man, that's some pretty big juevos.

[ThaVirus]

Schwartz is an idiot

[tk13]

All kinds of crazy going on out there. Ran a draw on 3rd down in that situation. Then Schwartz doesn't call a TO. Let's mismanage this thing all the way.

[Bugeater]

WTF IS GOING ON HERE?

[OnTheWarpath15]

Which HC was more retarded regarding clock management there?

[Chiefaholic]

A. Smith > M. Stafford

['Hamas' Jenkins]

That's all on his mechanics. He had the room to step up and just slung it off his back foot.

They have to bring someone in there to teach Stafford that he can't just sling everything from every angle. He's too damned talented to make mistakes like that.

[TribalElder]

The Lions are essentially allergic to success.

The Packers are down. The Bears lost their QB for 1/2 a season. Calvin Johnson has destroyed the world for most of the season.

And these guys are going to struggle to play .500 football.

If this doesn't get Schwartz fired, what will?

[Chiefaholic]

Funny thing is that Harbaugh coached that as incompetently as you can. He went pure Herm in that situation, but Tucker bailed his bitch ass out. No one will criticize him for it, even though they should.

Schwartz, though. If there's a worse coach in the NFL, I don't know who it is.

[Dylan]

Sooooo...

When do the Lions start looking at new QBs?

You were in love with him and his arm a few pages ago - now that he blew it, you're jumping off the bandwagon? LMAO

? I've never been in love with Stafford although I think he has the physical tools to be an elite QB in this league.

Earlier in this thread I said he has the best arm in the league and he's wasting it with shit ass mechanics. He's the quintessential case of a QB trusting his arm too much.

I even argued with Clay in some other thread last week that he isn't living up to his potential.

[Ace Gunner]

bbbbbut matt stafford is better than alex smiff...................

[Hammock Parties]

I wouldn't bet against Flacco. He can throw it deep.

I disagree. If Stafford had the best arm in the league, he would have won the game tonight. Lions do what they do to lose.

Just my opinion.

They have to bring someone in there to teach Stafford that he can't just sling everything from every angle. He's too damned talented to make mistakes like that.

I don't think I've ever seen him step into a throw. And I'm not even exaggerating much. He has by far the worst fundamentals in the league.

[RippedmyFlesh]

Ray Lewis sure is a fucker! What a moron!

Can't even listen to him had to change the station when he started talking.

[-King-]

I disagree. If Stafford had the best arm in the league, he would have won the game tonight. Lions do what they do to lose.

Just my opinion.

I don't think you understand what he means by best arm in the league. He's talking about the ability to throw deep and make any throw needed.

[-King-]

Holy shit, Lions have to go up the staircase to heaven to get to their locker room. Who the hell is the idiot that designed that?

[ThaVirus]

I disagree. If Stafford had the best arm in the league, he would have won the game tonight. Lions do what they do to lose.

Just my opinion.

It doesn't show because he has terrible mechanics. He's constantly throwing into tight windows, sidearmed and off his back foot. If he learned to plant his feet and step into throws properly, you'd see it. The problem is, after all these years, he hardly ever does it.

If I could take different aspects of QBs in this league to make the ultimate QB, he'd have Stafford's arm.

[|Zach|]

Man that thing just barely sneaked between the uprights. The drama. Feel bad for the Lions for that bullshit PI non call though.

[ThaVirus]

I don't think you understand what he means by best arm in the league. He's talking about the ability to throw deep and make any throw needed.

Yes, thank you.

[tk13]

Yep, I like Stafford but that is true. Bray does the same thing... which is why I'm not high on him. Actually Bray is probably worse, never steps into his throws.

Not sure if you can really teach it once someone is in the NFL.

[The Bad Guy]

Stafford is like the hot chick with her tits hanging out at 2 AM at the bar that you take home in college. You're mesmerized by her physical gifts and when you wake up the next morning, you aren't committing to her because she's dumb as hell.

Yeah, Stafford has an incredible arm, but he's inconsistent, erratic, makes poor decisions constantly that guys with his talents and his tenure should not be making.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I don't think I've ever seen him step into a throw. And I'm not even exaggerating much. He has by far the worst fundamentals in the league.

They weren't great coming out. He had a tendency to throw flat footed in college. It's gotten much worse over the last four years. A lot of that is on him; he needs to be a master of his craft. However, it is ridiculous that the Lions haven't coached him harder to perfect his mechanics.

Stafford is reaching a fulcrum point in his career. He should be one of the five best QB's in the league, and he's not. Detroit needs to bring in someone to get the best out of him, but he has to be willing to implement those technical changes.

Regardless, they need to completely flush that coaching staff.

Todd Downing is their QB coach, and before that he was a defensive assistant/coffee boy. He's never been a positional coach before, and he's the guy you want coaching Matt Stafford? Are you fucking kidding me?

[Hammock Parties]

I would trade 100 Matthew Staffords for one Alex Smith.

[DTLB58]

And that is your dream. A man behind center that can go deep. You nasty bastard.

[The Bad Guy]

So Kinda like a young Favre.

Yes, and if the Lions ever hire real coaches for him, he has a shot to improve.

But not while that pack of clowns are there.

[ChiefsCountry]

McNabb is talking about Stafford's mechanics on FS1 right now.

[The Bad Guy]

I would trade 100 Matthew Staffords for one Alex Smith.

Of course you would. I'd take Stafford over Smith, but you're way overboard.

I'd like to see an Alex Smith play with a Calvin Johnson though.

Stafford has put up gaudy numbers but it's translated into nothing.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Stafford is still only 25 years old and has two 5,000 yard seasons under his belt. He's a goldmine of untapped potential.

If the Lions make the right hire after Schwartz, the next coach is going to walk into a perfect situation.

They need to do something about their back seven.

[Red Dawg]

Stafford is one ugly SOB. Inbred looking sucker.

[The Bad Guy]

They need to do something about their back seven.

Yep. First thing they should do is fire Gunther and his outdated schemes.

[The Franchise]

The worst thing to happen to Stafford was getting Megatron. Dude repeatedly forces the ball when he shouldn't. It also happens to be the best thing to happen to him as well.

[O.city]

With the talent they have in Detroit, there's no way that team should be .500. Awful coaching.

[tk13]

Yep. First thing they should do is fire Gunther and his outdated schemes.

Once Gunther gets his guys in there, they are going to be great.

[DJ's left nut]

I just watched that replay - man that kick was incredible.

I'm sure most of you have played some ball, did any of you bother to stand at the 40 yard line and look at the goalposts? The damn things look about as wide as a postage stamp. It's absolutely unbelievable that someone can kick a friggen football 60 yards away and get them through those things.

And when you look at the make, he was literally less than a foot away from the right upright and maybe 3 feet above the crossbar. You couldn't tuck that thing in any closer than that.

[ChiefsCountry]

The guy who called the game tonight wouldn't be a bad choice for Detroit.

[ThaVirus]

Yep. First thing they should do is fire Gunther and his outdated schemes.

With the talent they have in Detroit, there's no way that team should be .500. Awful coaching.

Yeah, luckily for them they have a decent base. If someone can come in their and "fix" Stafford, they've got tons of firepower in Megatron, Bush and Pettigrew alone. They've got a decent offensive line and a solid backup HB in Bell as well as a redzone stud in Fauria. They could stand to add a second and/or third WR option but they already have the pieces to be a top 5 offense.

On defense, the line is pretty much set and Tulloch and Levy are good. They could probably upgrade the LDE spot (why'd they let Avril go?) and everyone in the secondary needs to go.

At least 9 dome games a season (8 home and 1 in MIN) and that's not a bad situation for a new head coach to walk into.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

The guy who called the game tonight wouldn't be a bad choice for Detroit.

I don't think so. He's a WCO evangelical w/o the flexibility that someone like Reed has always had regarding a QB's talents. That would be a complete waste of Stafford's talents.

I think you want a guy who will still run a Coryell offense, but with coaches that actually pay attention to fundamentals. Detroit has terrible fundamentals and discipline.

[The Bad Guy]

The guy who called the game tonight wouldn't be a bad choice for Detroit.

I think Bill O'Brien would be the perfect hire.

Gruden's offense isn't a great fit for his power arm.
