I’m done with AA

That's what you get for trying to run the ball

 

[Wazmankg]

They just don't close on the ball carrier. The pursuit just isn't there.

This is a perfect way to ruin thanksgiving... watching the Vikes smoke the Lions at home.

Turn the TV off.

 

[gandydancer]

Well, with the Lions playing it will be 6

yeah, it's like they're waiting on the ball carrier to come to them

 

[Edonidd]

This is what I hate about the NFL rules. They let it be a TD so they can go back and look, but If they don't have a good camera angle all of the sudden that call could have stood.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

This defense is also a fucking disgrace so far.

It's been like that for weeks, especially on runs and screens. It ain't that complicated. Recognize and then everyone to the ball as fast as you can. From a pure speed/talent standpoint they're better than this. Idk what the deal has been lately.

Maybe we can get a rule change this off-season, that you only have to play the 4th quarter of games from now on.

Until then this team is never going to be a real contender.

as opposed to it having been an actual fumble and the play being blown dead, costing a team points?

They're not coached properly. Can't prepare for a simple read option. Playing inferior player that should not see the field. Same old shit to start games every week.

2 LBers can’t tackle Keenum. Untuckingbelievable!

Going to be a long long day. I don’t see any 4th qtr magic today. Caldwell hasn’t even made his stupid in game mistakes yet either.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

WHY IS HE STILL IN THE FUCKING GAME!!!

 

[Wazmankg]

Great, just give him the ball again.. because he's so great we don't want to kill his confidence. ffs

Annoying to watch the ViQueens clown us like that on the TD celebration.

At least they didn't squeeze a couple commercials in while they were reviewing it.

Idk. I think it's less about knowing what's coming then it is not reacting properly after it's obvious. Defense, for the most part, is very simple after the QB has handed or passed the ball to someone. It's the same everywhere, at every level. Every man to the ball .. fast. That just isn't happening like it should be.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

They just keep running this clown every other play

 

[Rollingthndr]

Can they possibly think of doing play action on 1st down?
