****Official**** Det at GB (-11.5) MNF 48.5 O/U (1 Viewer)

[Mt. Man]

Lions challenge: go two offensive plays without a flag.

 

[whoknew]

Ridiculously terrible intentional grounding call. But whatever.

 

[farfromforgotten]

That seems like it’s usually an incomplete pass. I don’t remember anymore though.

 

[renesauz]

Outside the box

agreed. live it looked to me like he was just tossing it away. replay from the backside showed a player breaking towards the direction and a bigger hit on the arm then I saw live.

INcomplete would have been the better call, but I saw grounding live 

 

[BobbyLayne]

4 penalties 

inexcusable

Mr Fox with an average punt (for him) of 52

 

[rockaction]

You're gonna love our nuts! - Vince from whatever that product was

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Outside the box

Didn’t make it to the line of scrimmage. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen grounding called when QBs arm was hit like that 

 

[sho nuff]

Didn’t make it to the line of scrimmage. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen grounding called when QBs arm was hit like that 

I think there was one either yesterday or in the Penn State / Auburn game.   
Really dumb to have that be a penalty.

 

[jon_mx]

Outside the box

Story of my life.  

 

[farfromforgotten]

Didn’t make it to the line of scrimmage. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen grounding called when QBs arm was hit like that 

They call things so inconsistently anymore that you’re never quite sure. 
 

That’s the goal.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Didn’t make it to the line of scrimmage. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen grounding called when QBs arm was hit like that 

yeah that element is dropped if the defender causes it

let it go

#forward 

 

[sho nuff]

Oh hell yeah Gronk!

On with Peyton and Eli.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

the LOS part of intentional grounding goes away if it’s caused by the defender 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Peyton’s explanation of how he used to try to convince the refs that it’s not his fault that the receiver is so stupid he ran the wrong route and wasn’t where he was supposed to be is absolutely classic.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Redzone Robby G

 

[BobbyLayne]

Iffy

 

[sho nuff]

And GB goes dumb.  Gets a stop…forgets to try running the ball.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Rodgers OL is not doing him many favors. 

 

[sho nuff]

Rodgers OL is not doing him many favors. 

He had plenty of time.  It wasn’t like an immediate rush.

 

[Wrigley]

Rodgers

 

[Cowboysfan8]

GB gashed them on the ground on the first drive. Then called 3 pass plays on the next drive

 seems about right

Item 2. Physical Contact. Intentional grounding should not be called if:

the passer initiates his passing motion toward an eligible receiver and then is significantly affected by physical contact from a defensive player that causes the pass to land in an area that is not in the direction and vicinity of an eligible receiver; or

the passer is out of the pocket, and his passing motion is significantly affected by physical contact from a defensive player that causes the ball to land short of the line of scrimmage.

let’s move on

 

[renesauz]

Your takes are on fire. He's two first rounders better. The jump is significant. I mean, if your first rounder winds up all Okudah, then you're better off with the All-Pro caliber QB.

Sorry...Stafford will have to have a HOF career from here to justify trading away a competent NFL caliber starting QB AND two first round picks. And yes...Goff is absolutely a competent NFL caliber starter

 

[Desert_Power]

Oh hell yeah Gronk!

On with Peyton and Eli.

 This is awesome

 

[rockaction]

Actually, the Peyton/Eli has gone sideways with Gronk.

Not as good.

 

[BobbyLayne]

might be most awkward scrambler in the league (who’s not 44 years old)

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Rumors of the Lions offense being historically terrible were greatly exaggerated. These guys are moving the ball competently. 

good game plan. I like this OC.  

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Gronk’s dog is adorable. 

 

[BobbyLayne]

Lots of play action 

smart

 

[rockaction]

Gronk’s dog is adorable. 

I actually changed it back. The announcers on ESPN are better than the Gronk segment.

 

[Mt. Man]

might be most awkward scrambler in the league (who’s not 44 years old)

But apparently skilled at falling face-first into a defenders' hands so there's a penalty.

 

[Bossman]

Rumors of the Lions offense being historically terrible were greatly exaggerated. These guys are moving the ball competently. 

good game plan. I like this OC.  

Let's not forget... This GB defense made NOS look like a SB contender...

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Raymond with the stutter step for an extra 3. Nice. 

 

[rockaction]

Wow, Hockenson!

What a catch!

DEEEEEEEE - TROIT.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Hock is the man

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

What a catch by Hockenson. Wow. 

 

[renesauz]

nice throw and catch there!

 

[sho nuff]

good game plan. I like this OC.  

This is a bad defense.  But yeah…they look ok.  

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Hell of a pass, too. 

 

[GrantK]

Pack D is soft...

 

[BobbyLayne]

11/12 116 2TDs

not bad for a guy who is terrible

 

[Mt. Man]

Hock TD!

Drive was lots of short gains and a face mask penalty, but at least the results are positive.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This is a bad defense.  But yeah…they look ok.  

I now have the Lions +19, so i hope they can keep it up. Plus I’m tired of watching the Packers beat up on the Lions. An upset would make this game more compelling. 

 

[Blackbear]

Maybe… if Goff didn’t have a control freak in his ear….

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

let’s move on

That is absolutely mind boggling. I don't think I have ever seen that called that way. I've seen it called grounding WITH defensive contact altering the throw MANY times, including once yesterday where this was discussed in a thread here.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Detroit moves the ball well. Enjoyable. GB defense might be brutal. 

 

[sho nuff]

Its not might…they have players…but they are terrible as a unit.

 

[jon_mx]

Yeah, the pundants were brutal.  Detroit core of Williams, Swift and Hock makes Detroit better at RB and TE than most teams in the league.  The WR are competent and have very good hands.  Goff is looking much better today actually hitting WRs.  

 

[BobbyLayne]

middle of the field is open

gonna keep jamming it until Lions adjust

 

[BobbyLayne]

makes sense to play two high when you have 2 rookie CBs
