Denver at Detroit (1 Viewer)

[ffldrew]

Ebron limping and Detroit is low at TE

 

[Anarchy99]

That was exciting.

 

[Shutout]

It really makes me sad because when we think of the best WRs today we think of Antonio, Julio, etc. Few even mention Calvin anymore because he is so underutilized.

We are just living in the past. It was just two years ago we did speak of calving like we do these guys now. The sad part is simply that the run was too short.

 

[renesauz]

joique got a yard. I'm amazed.

yeah, but if he'd needed 40 inches, he woulda been short

 

[fantasycurse42]

Prater is my kicker, I've stuck with him bc I anticipated their offense would pick up

 

[BobbyLayne]

Week 2 the tailbacks were 11-16

Tonight they're 10-13

 

[Ilov80s]

"food poisoning"

Calvin, unfortunately, has begun the downside of his career. Noticeably slower and doesn't separate as well anymore. He's still plenty good though.

 

[georg013]

Caldwell will be responsible for extending the career of Calvin Johnson. Why else has he kept him bubble wrapped the past two seasons? I want to slap that stupid salt and pepper mustache off his fat sweaty face. That's the politically correct version of how I feel.

We are just living in the past. It was just two years ago we did speak of calving like we do these guys now. The sad part is simply that the run was too short. Jim Caldwell arrived on the scene and herminated the offense.

 

[Bruce Hammond]

Tonight they're 10-13

Nice completion pct... oh wait...

 

[TwinTurbo]

Oh just go for it. We know Caldwell would have punted by now. Kubiak will at least pretend to go for it.

He's still bigger and faster than Brandon Marshall who is on pace for 122-1400 and 16 TDs.

 

[Insein]

Love it.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Slay has to make that play

 

[TwinTurbo]

Take notes Caldwell. Take notes. See what happens when you throw it up to your big guy.

 

[ffldrew]

Manning to DT yeeeessssssss

 

[mbuehner]

Holy crap what a play.

 

[Insein]

So the last minute looked good. Was the rest Kubiak-ish?

 

[joffer]

That's unbelievable. That's why you're Detroit.

 

[ffldrew]

How is that taunting

 

[Vike Me]

48 yard extra point?

 

[renesauz]

"so much for the Manning can't throw it over 20 yards"

Is he watching the same game? That was a DUCK that was badly under-thrown. Credit belongs far more to Thomas than Manning

 

[mbuehner]

How is that taunting

Yeah running backwards is taunting now?

 

[j3r3m3y]

That was a crap call.

 

[ffldrew]

Jeff Triplette making it up as he goes

 

[lod01]

Take notes Caldwell. Take notes. See what happens when you throw it up to your big guy.

He didn't see any of that series. Just stares straight ahead with the stupid blank look on his face.

 

[renesauz]

How is that taunting

Yeah running backwards is taunting now?

Doing so while looking at the defenders?

Yeah...that's ALWAYS been taunting

 

[renesauz]

Not sure why the complaint about taunting....was a pretty clear example of it

 

[j3r3m3y]

"so much for the Manning can't throw it over 20 yards"

It wasn't the prettiest of passes but I wouldn't call it a duck or badly underthrown.

I don't disagree. But the thought was presented that he's not mentioned with Julio and Brown. He's not THAT good anymore.

Jeff Blake made a career out of throwing punt passes to Carl Pickins, Darnay Scott and Chris Henry. It gives your WR time to set and leap above the 5-9 CB. That's all that noodle pass was.

 

[jabarony]

You gotta pass interfere there. Give up the fg.

 

[mbuehner]

How is that taunting

Yeah...that's ALWAYS been taunting

If youre running backwards the defenders are always going to be behind you. So yeah, you're back to being flagged for running backwards.

You put either of those guys on Detroit, and they are laying eggs. They have the luxury of good coaching and upper tier QBs. He's definitely still that good. he's 29. Over the next 4 weeks we will see what Antonio Brown can do with Mike Vick.

Not to me. And my opinion is all I was offering.

 

[chad in Indy]

Not sure why he even thought about biting on the slant. what a joke

THomas had two steps on the defender, had to stop and wait for it to come down....badly under-thrown

Slay is 6'0" but whatever

Gotta make a play there

Good cover guy but horrible tackler

He caught it at the apex of his jump. Not badly underthrown unless you have a bias.

If youre running backwards the defenders are always going to be behind you. So yeah, you're back to being flagged for running backwards.

un-necessarily running backwards into the end zone while looking at the defenders trailing was given as an example from the day they made taunting a foul, and has been called numerous times in the last 10 years. You might not like the rule, but that was a textbook example of what they mean by "taunting"

THomas had two steps on the defender, had to stop and wait for it to come down....badly under-thrown

He caught it at the apex of his jump. Not badly underthrown unless you have a bias.

What? Watch it again...he had to significantly slow down, almost STOP. Had he not done so and jumped for it, the defender would have made the play. Catching it at the apex was an example of a big WR properly using his size to win a ball, not an example of a well thrown ball when said WR was wide open BEFORE he was FORCED to slow down.

It was under-thrown

It was under-thrown

So first he had to stop and wait, but now he had to almost stop.

OK than....Manning still has a cannon of an arm and I'm 100% wrong.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Ebron limping and Detroit is low at TE

Twitter reports he's OK

And then lit Lucas the #### up on the sideline for whiffing on his block on the PAT

 

[ffldrew]

Man Hines Ward has a pretty good gig. Come on with Costas and say one or two things and disappear into the night.

 

[Mister CIA]

Take notes Caldwell. Take notes. See what happens when you throw it up to your big guy.

[georg013]

Hopefully these teams completely abandon the run this half and light up the scoreboard.

 

[ffldrew]

You see the jet vapor trail on the throw on the replay?

Peyton is back baby

 

[Jimbo Slice]

The eclipse is more entertaining than this game
