Game Thread: Game 1 vs AZ

[Edonidd]

Golladay had a couple big drops in the game too. Hes not some superstar yet. But damn if it doesn't feel nice to get a guy who can contribute after the first 2 rounds. Hasn't happened often around here.

And can we keep Ebron [nincompoop] away from the impressionable rookie?

Wasn't really a comeback. The team dominated the 4th quarter.

 

[Old Lion]

38-10 Cards.

Genius!

 

[Old Lion]

Based on what I read and the stats, It looks like the Lions dominated most of the game and the Cardinals were only in it because of a few early miscues by the Lions. Lions pretty much controlled the second half.

There is hope at least. If OBJ can stay injured 1 more week, we could actually go into the bye week 3-3. I heard from a friend close to the Giants that the injury may be more than a high ankle sprain. OBJ may have a crack or chip in the ankle bone.

And feel free to pat me on the back for the Golladay pick. Just what we needed.

He dropped three passes.

Looks like the Lions may hold on and the Raiders win easily against a decent opponent on the road. Feels good.

But Speight still sucks.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

But Speight still sucks.

Well let's pray to the gods Peters finds something and takes over the team.

He dropped three passes.

Didnt see the game, but I am sure that is just a matter of getting used to Staff throwing 100 mph. Also, he was not near 100% this week so the fact that he pulled 2 TDs out of his ass is fantastic.

I am more concerned with TJ Jones. Not sure why he getting the benefit of the doubt every year.

What's the difference between the two?

Both made nice grabs. Both didn't catch other balls. Only you like one and don't like the other. KG also had atleast one of the 13 penalties and was relieved of his duties for a bit. To "relax".

Im most concerned with Zettle being our best Dlineman. Who wants to be Staffs #5 target is minimal to me.

PFF Grade

WR KENNY GOLLADAY, 50.6 OVERALL GRADE
His grade may come as a shock to people just looking at the box score, but Golladay’s career did not initially start well, as he dropped two early targets. With the game on the line in the fourth quarter, however, he came through in a big way with two game-sealing touchdown receptions. For the day he caught four of seven targets thrown his way for 69 yards, and Stafford enjoyed a 130.4 rating when targeting him, despite the drops.
