Lions at Bears (1 Viewer)

[BobbyLayne]

What was the penalty for?

Stupidity. We're good for two more of those tonight.

 

[rascal]

Where is Forte? Hasn't been in this entire drive

 

[MSULions]

Hasn't the Lions secondary been decimated for like five years?

yep. unreal bad luck. every year all the starters get hurt, then their replacements get hurt, then we sign some ice cream truck drivers to play CB.

Their starters are not good either imo... its been a very very neglected position that spans well into the Millen era

Houston is fine...and Bentley has showed promise as a rookie. problem is they haven't played in the same game together yet.

Prolly just Trying to get Some Bush action

 

[fanaticskinsfan]

Where is Forte? It's been all Bush recently.

Punishing him for his long run, I guess.

 

[mr roboto]

I know no one cares, but I'm down 7 with Gould and he has CJ. So far, not bad.

classic.

 

[UlyssesNorris]

Is it me, or do all those studs on the Lions D line get blocked way too easily every week?

 

[Awful Waffle]

2nd & 1, deep throw into double coverage. 3rd & 1, pass play. Jesus.

 

[rascal]

2nd a 1 and you throw twice and get nothing. Your defense is gased and its only the end of the first. Get a ####### first down.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Nice punt!

Looking for positives here...

 

[MSULions]

why send Calvin deep on 3rd and 1? should be an automatic first with him on a slant and a high throw. indefensible.

Awwww, thanks man.

Scott Linehan...he bad

I like the deep throw on 2nd and 1, actually. The 3rd down play, not so much.

I disagree, Houston is average and Bentley is a third rd CB that should not be depending on starting. This team has had a patchwork of DBs for yrs trying to depend on castoffs and mid to low rd picks without success.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Bears doing a nice job of containing themselves

 

[RBM]

Run the damn ball. Tice pissing me off big time

 

[Hendo]

This Lions team should be 1-4 its in complete reverse

 

[BobbyLayne]

Muff OOB

We're not playing well on ST, defense or offense

Things are going to change I can feel it[/beck]

 

[Hendo]

Nice pass Stafford.... lol

 

[Awful Waffle]

Bad throw by Stafford. Very frustrating the Eagles let this team come back and beat them.

 

[Donnybrook]

I thought that an illegal block in the back couldn't be called on the kicking team. I recall when Harbaugh convinced the replacement refs to pick up the flag when it was called against them.

 

[BobbyLayne]

3rd and 11

Max protect 7 blocking 3 in the pattern

Shocked that didn't work

Another great punt!

(smiles everyone, smiles)

ETA: my spell check has been Lionized

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Stafford has to make those throws. The Lions have left a few plays out there.

 

[MSULions]

he must have thought that was Calvin...who would have caught that.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Cutler had like 5-6 seconds for his reads

 

[gigantor]

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Looked like a Hold by #73 on that last play.

 

[MSULions]

that sure looked like a safety to me.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Giants have blown it open in the 3rd 7-0

What a comeback!

 

[BobbyLayne]

Told we were good for two more

Titus will do something stupid later

 

[MSULions]

nice hold by the LT in the endzone not called on 2nd down

 

[johnnyboy8102]

That wasn't much of a horse collar. Weak call.

 

[Quibbler]

What is the definition of a horsecollar, exactly?

 

[johnnyboy8102]

It was pretty blatant.

 

[GregR]

What is the definition of a horsecollar, exactly?

(d) grabbing the inside collar of the back of the shoulder pads or jersey, or the inside collar of the side of

the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately pulling down the runner. This does not apply to a runner

who is in the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket.

Note: It is not necessary for a player to pull the runner completely to the ground in order for the act to be illegal.

If his knees are buckled by the action, it is a foul, even if the runner is not pulled completely to the ground.

Thanks. So, in this case, where the CB was already pulling the runner down before his hand slid inside the pads, does that make it legal?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Yeah team

X2

 

[Hendo]

Nice hands Burleson... lol

 

[duaneok66]

wow . . .

 

[Billy Bats]

 

[Judge Smails]

Nope, still illegal. Even if you've got some other grasp on him as well, if you use it to pull him down it's illegal.

 

[MSULions]

come on Burelson...that's ridiculous.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Is Calvin Johnson playing?

 

[duaneok66]
