Baltimore at Detroit (1 Viewer)

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Stafford is at his best throwing strong down the middle. When he starts throwing side armed, he looks his worst. Detroit should hire Joe Montana to show Stafford how to throw a touch screen pass, where you lead the runner and the ball is super easy to catch and the RB can look down field to read blocks at the same time. Not a whip that is low and behind.

HI! Totally trashed Ravens fan here to spend the last 32 minutes of gametime with you.

No Lions pass rush so far, good Ravens secondary, plus one huge Calvin drop.

Make that two.

 

[faulkfan]

Tough to blame Stafford for those drops. C'mon Calvin.

 

[jurb26]

Stafford should try throwing a catchable pass and see what happens.

They don't get more catchable than those drops by Calvin.

 

[BobbyLayne]

ridiculous how many they have dropped this year

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Lol fix is in.....sorry Calvin owners, that is ridiculous.

 

[Ballstein]

I smell A fix

 

[The_Man]

Oooh, some Detroit boo birds fire up.

Kind of lame when you're winning.

 

[ffldrew]

So my lions play on MNF about once a decade and of course Comcast cable decides to take a crap as the game begins.

Direct TV here I come!

I thought there was a deal where they have to show it on local TV as well - I know the Bronco Thursday night game was on a local channel.

 

[renesauz]

Calvin dropping another one

 

[Ballstein]

Vegas half time line is about to get pulled

 

[fantasycurse42]

Just tuned in now, why is bell in for the 2 minute drill? Bush hurt or Schwartz stupid?

 

[faulkfan]

Stafford should try throwing a catchable pass and see what happens.

They don't get more catchable than those drops by Calvin.

Agreed.

 

[jurb26]

So, 4 drops already tonight for the Lions. Nice to see they aren't going to let that stat be caught this season.

He's got a heater and that's it

I have yet to see him throw a touch pass in 5 years (admittedly I only watch 5 or so games a year)

 

[LargeMouthBass]

What the hell is Calvin Johnson doing? Does he have money on Baltimore?

 

[The_Man]

Lol fix is in.....sorry Calvin owners, that is ridiculous.

So the argument is the greatest WR of the last 25 years is intentionally dropping passes so his team might lose a vital game that could cost them the playoffs? Makes sense.

 

[jurb26]

And now Balt will shred the Det D to take a halftime lead. Unreal.

 

[faulkfan]

I smell a field goal opportunity for Tucker...

 

[SengerCJ]

4 passes that Calvin would usually be able to catch.

 

[The Claymaker]

Last 2 drives no Reggie Bush, that's making me nervous like he got hurt and no one is mentioning it.

 

[John 14:6]

What the hell is Calvin Johnson doing? Does he have money on Baltimore?

He's going to come out steaming mad in the second half and put on a show!... I hope.

 

[jurb26]

Oh. My. Lord.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Oh come on!!!!!!

 

[The_Man]

Flacco's pocket awareness is improving dramatically. Getting more and more Big Ben like all the time.

 

[faulkfan]

They say the best offense is a good defense. Detroit is proving that the best offense is a stupid defense.

 

[SengerCJ]

Ho is that not PI?

 

[jurb26]

Football has become as physical as golf.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Say wut?

 

[BobbyLayne]

I'm sorry does the defender have an obligation to step aside so the receiver can go back to the under thrown ball? seriously??

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

I like the call, he led with the helmet and no PI.

 

[renesauz]

I don't like those kinds of PI calls....but that's one they normally call PI, not roughness

 

[The_Man]

OK, Flacco, no INT here. Just take the 3 and the ball to start the 2nd half

 

[Phenix]

This has become the sport for ##$$#$

 

[Rodeojones]

I need 1.5 points from Pitta in a ppr league. Zero confidence i'm gonna get it.

 

[JohnnyUtah007]

Last 2 drives no Reggie Bush, that's making me nervous like he got hurt and no one is mentioning it.

I was thinking the same thing. WTF?! Give us an update someone. I only need 2.8 more points from him to make the championship!

 

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

this BS officiating is killing the game.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Thanks Roger Goodell....what an improvement youve made to the game.....jeez

 

[Phenix]

I like the call, he led with the helmet and no PI.

Wait you liek that call? Do you like powder puff too?

Was the football of 10 years ago too manly for you?

 

[sporthenry]

Gonna call it every time, fellas

You outta know by now

I'm sorry does the defender have an obligation to step aside so the receiver can go back to the under thrown ball? seriously??

 

[The_Man]

OK, Flacco, no INT here. Just take the 3 and the ball to start the 2nd half

By the way, this could be the official motto of the Ravens

there it is

 

[jurb26]

I like the call, he led with the helmet and no PI.

He led with his hands but because the Wr move back and down trying to reach the ball incidental contact was made with the head. There is no way for defenders to avoid things like that.

I dont like how little hes on the field but there you go

 

[The_Man]

If the Ravens could steal a TD here, I would call this one of their best halves of the season

 

[PIK95]

Terrible clock management on that drive IMO. They wasted a lot of time there. Oof!

 

[BobbyLayne]

and a man from Hamtramck will take that one home with him

/ernie

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Detroit putting no pressure on Flacco. He has all day to throw.

It was more of a joke, although he's playing that bad it wouldn't shock me because the guy is normally so good. He is freakishly dominant in some games but this game here is why he'll never be a Jerry Rice who made all the plays in big time games for many years.
