No chance. That was 100% on Dak. I think Swaim is way better than you guys give him credit for. He blocks, has decent hands and makes some plays. Not his fault he is only going to be targeted 3 or 4 times a game. He sure as hell isn't Witten in his prime or even close to it, but I don't think he is too far from where Witten would have been this year
Agree completely. Silly for anyone to expect a TE to come in and play up to Witten's level. Will take a while but TE will get better.
Defense was not ok today. Stafford sliced the defense up. And they did thier usuall, fail to hold a lead in the end. Good thing they were so bad, Detroit scored so quickly, we had plenty of time to score. LV and DLaw played well.
Good game today. I think the defense has come back down to Earth a little, but I think they still have some growth in them and have a good year. Looking forward to getting Irving back and think we will be much more disruptive when rushing 4 with him in there. But, with or without improved LB play we are AGAIN missing Lee. We just aren't the same team without him. Seems Thomas isn't getting many snaps now. Wonder what's up there.
Dak was just fantastic today. Yeah, he missed Swaim but that was not an easy throw. He made all the throws and showed better technique and arm strength. His decision making and his accuracy were great. BUT...that was a huge mental error to take that sack that moved us out of FG range. He can't do that in that spot and had plenty of time to get rid of the ball. But, like I said he was great today.
Big drop by Austin. Would have been great to have that one both for the game and for Dak.
Great game by Zeke. That throw and catch between he and Dak was clutch and won the game for us. He was dominant all day.
Great job by the OL. They have been taking a lot of crap this year. I thought they were great today. They got out into space, they sealed off their man to create holes and they got good push and protected Dak.
Safety play needs to be better. Awuzie needs to locate the ball better. He had good coverage today, but need to knock a few of those down. I know the announcers blamed Brown, but I thought that TD was his fault. I could be wrong but it looked like Frazier had the deep middle and he left the sideline to carry a guy into the middle instead of staying in his zone. Plus he seemed to play off his man a lot more than he has been. I love when we get our two corners right up on the line and playing physical. Byron Jones was great again. Both our nickel corners still not playing as well as I hoped but were OK.
Wonder if our run defense struggles a little without Woods in the middle clogging things up. Would be nice to have Price now. He is on Cleveland's PS
I have to give Linehan credit. We can't blame him when the team takes no shots and runs a stale shitty game plan that doesn't work and not give him (or whoever made him) props when we have a game plan like we did today. A HUGE thumbs up for the OC today.
Garrett. What is he thinking throwing that second challenge? That was just a stupid call. He needs to give someone else the red flag. But, he takes the blame so he needs to get credit today too.
Tank...what else can you say. 3 sacks and they were 3 big sacks. Think we could have blitzed a little more to try and get at Stafford as he was picking us apart a little bit.
Was just a real good game for this team. With Philly's loss and Washington's bye we are tied for first in the win column.
There was no one in front of him on that entire side of the field, so yes he should have dropped a little bit deeper, but he was supposed to have deep help there. Whoever had the deep sideline is the one who messed up. As I said, I thought it was Awuzie and not Frazier but I certainly could be wrong
Great movie. But QB'ing is like golfing...sometimes you roll back into the water when you don't play it smart...
