Flacco cementing his spot in Canton

 

[Moab]

Bears go right down the field and go up 7-0... Bears Oline is doing fine so far...last week didn't score a TD in 60 minutes...this week it takes less than 5

As an aside, it seems the Lions are blitzing Fields trying to force a quick decision...his decision is to run.

What is up with the Birds running game? Swift is certainly a good back and obviously they have a good OL.

Swift would take away from Hurts stats.

 

[Dude]

Browning looking very good again.
Averaging 17.1 yds per attempt and it’s going up …

 

[Moab]

Bears force a Lions punt...got a little help from a weak tripping call...gunner with a nice job on the punt...Bears ball at their 8 or 9

Falcons and Bucs tied at 3, each team gets a FG on their opening drive. Falcons should’ve had a TD but Ridder misfired on 3rd and goal, other than that he was sharp.

Flacco cementing his spot in Canton

He looked solid rolling off the couch last week and really good to start this game.

Cannot believe they considered DTR for this game.

 

[Moab]

Fields legs and stupid penalties are killing the Lions so far...Bears at Lions' 15

 

[Xeliou66]

Ridder you fucking piece of shit QB, what a fucking terrible throw. This team would be good if we had a decent QB. Fuck.

 

[Moab]

Crossing blitz causes sack...Bears FG is good 10-0 Bears.

A number of different things. Shotgun run isn’t effective when the threat of QB keep isn’t there. Hurts hasn’t been keeping the ball on that action. Lane Johnson isn’t 100% and that’s showing up in the run game. Finally, I don’t like the way they’re attempting to run the ball. They’re trying to get the edge on teams instead of running inside zone which is what I think they do best in the run game. They need to realize though that they have a subpar defense and they need to play complimentary football utilizing the run game to extend possessions and chew clock.

Lamar to a wide open Likely for a long Ravens TD, and they take the lead 7-3.

 

[Moab]

Gibbs with a 45 yard run...Lions on move...and of course Lions get delay of game cuz they don't know 41 second game clock is more than 40 second play clock....Lions having a dumb 1st quarter. So far Bears are playing Bears football...

 

[DJ]

Kamara with a rushing TD.

 

[Moab]

Gibbs drops a swing pass on 3rd and 10 that he probably would've scored on...the Lions go for it on 4th and 10...Johnson picks him off and returns the ball...but Bears have block in back on return...Bears ball again...still up 10-0

 

[Xeliou66]

Yes Ridder to Pitts for a TD!! The Falcons are doing a much better job now of getting their best weapons involved - that drive showed it - a couple of good Bijan runs, a nice completion to London and then a TD pass to Pitts. That’s what the Falcons need to do, instead of trying to be too cute and fancy with their play calling. 10-10 game now.

 

[DJ]

Browning playing well again today.

 

[Moab]

Not to be outdone...Bears go for it on 4th and 1 on Lions 40...line up for sneak...instead pitch outside and get stopped...Lions ball

 

[DJ]

Flacco!!!!

 

[Xeliou66]

Lamar to OBJ for the TD, second long Ravens TD of the game, 14-10 Ravens lead.

Flacco with his second TD pass of the day and the Browns take a 14-0 lead.
