Jesus Christ, Swift gonna be getting some hate mail.

Was the Collins ejection justified?

Can't make contact with an official but imo the official certainly made a hell of a lot more out of it then there was.... He "flopped" like a soccer player imo...

Meh.. he's the one who threw the flag, so it's not as if he was trying to sell it to anyone.

His reaction (to me anyway) certainly looked like a soccer player flopping trying to draw a call

I was worried with all of the uncertainty that football would be unrecognizable to me, but I honestly can't see anything different.

S.O.L.

Dagger Time!

Wow! Talk about doing everything possible to lose a game. Offense looks decent but 1 bad throw by Stafford and 1 bad drop by Swift other wise the game is not close. Defense lost all it good players although Flowers came back to miss not sealing off the edge on 4th and 1. Trufant, Coleman, Collins all out although Collins is not injured. Flowers injured as well but didnt look too bad. LBs still suck.

Nothing like your #1 draft pick not playing game 1 of the season. What about our #2 pick swift? Is he playing?

Unfortunately

Only so he can lose the game for 'em.

Nice work Bob Quinn.

He is right about 2 things anyway. Should not kick a 55 yard FG. Better off going for it on 4th in that situation. Also Tony McCray is not an NFL level CB. Dude is a ST gunner and backup returner and thats it. He had no business being out there never mind playing man coverage.

Agree, but who else did they have at that point? I am not sure any of the safeties are known for their man coverage either.

I would have had Roberts and Amani on the corners and the 3 safeties inside with 3 LBs (Davis, JRM, Killibrew) and definitely not played man coverage. Even Tribisky can just play pitch and catch with whoever Mccray covered without fear of INT knowing it was straight man. Too easy.
