**Rams at Lions (-3, 51.5), SNF Wild Card Weekend Game #5** (1 Viewer)

[need2know]

Let's go rams!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Anzalone down

That’s a major loss. The biggest outside of Hutch.

Hopefully he’s ok. He’s one of my favorite defensive players.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Kyren Willians (hand) questionable to return

 

[travdogg]

I think the Kupp vs Puka debate has been put to rest

Probably, though Kupp's ankle could still be bothering him.

ETA: Good problem to have

 

[skol asylum]

Picked up Robinson on my dynasty league tonight. Never know I guess.

In the offseason?

Also, he was a FA?!

Yep

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I mean, I guess you can switch to more man than zone to prevent that sort of thing, but what more could Detroit do there?

When they do that McVay will eat them alive. Just MO.

 

[dmac37]

Let's go rams!

Get this guy out of here....

 

[rockaction]

To AA's credit, he did appear to pull up a bit not wanting a hit on defenseless player penalty.

He didn't just pull up, he basically let him catch it. There was nothing he could do. He would have been penalized for anything.

 

[Todem]

Hutch was tackled.

Seems like almost all the time he is mugged.

I think the Kupp vs Puka debate has been put to rest

What debate? Kupp has battled injuries the last two seasons....prior he was an absolute beast.

Puka looks fantastic. But let's not sell Kupp short on what he has done in this league.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I... HATE... the fade route.

Yep

16 team leagues ruin me. There’s never anyone available.

Also our FAs are locked until the 1st waiver run. Which I believe is after the Super Bowl. In both leagues.

 

[BobbyLayne]

another good RZ stop

 

[Todem]

Man Puka is having a rookie year the likes of Randy Moss and Anquan Boldin.

Elite. One of the greatest rookie seasons of all time. Yards and receptions records, so arguably better. Only the TDs lagged, and that’s flukey.

Well I also gotta consider the rules are much more favorable these days vs when those two legends played.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Kyren hand injury. Dang.

 

[travdogg]

Hate that route. If that was an option or Texas route, Kupp scores with ease

ETA: You run that wheel from like the 20-25. Not enough space that close.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

See Dallas? THIS is how you settle for field goals!

 

[Zeppelin]

Lions red zone defense has been great.

 

[jon_mx]

Lions need a TD here or they are gonna lose

 

[dmac37]

OMG, over 50 years of Lions history I can't take this....

 

[rockaction]

When they do that McVay will eat them alive. Just MO.

I'm just talking in general. You play a zone. Stafford leads his receiver into four guys because they're afraid to hit a defenseless receiver and they don't hit him. Nacua makes a catch that would have seen him utterly wiped out even five-ten years prior.

What, then, stops the passing game? If you can't hit a guy coming across the middle, you play man.

Then that has its counter.

I'm just saying that not being able to hit guys over the middle has radically changed the game.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Are the lions going for 2 on this next td to go up 9? I say yes.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

FG is the smart play here but they didn't set up a 4th down play by picking up 5-6 yds
Just a toss to the end zone, don't make it, just kick the FG

What happened to Detroit's Offense?
Unstoppable early
Drive 1-TD
Drive 2-TD
Drive 3-TD
Drive 4-Refs
Halftime

2nd Half
1st Drive- FG
Crickets Crickets Crickets since then

Usually nothing available in our 12 team league either. 18 spots on the roster plus 10 taxi squad.

 

[The Frankman]

Kyren Williams being out really hurt because the run game was working; I'd think they'd try a few runs there with him in.

Dunno why they didn't run Royce Freeman, he had a lot of good games when Williams was out.

 

[General Malaise]

Are the lions going for 2 on this next td to go up 9? I say yes.

Aaron Donald wrecks this next drive. Rams win it with a FG. Refs owe the Rams a call for that missed personal foul on Stafford.

Well, Moss & Bolden also benefitted from the push-out rule. Puka has to tap his toes.

Anquan half his career, Moss, all but one season.

So in some ways Puka is at a disadvantage - how many receptions did Moss & Boldin have where they were in mid air flying OOB?

 

[hagmania]

Eminem vs TSwift for the Super Bowl

 

[Zeppelin]

Time for a long time consuming TD drive.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

A fair point.

 

[travdogg]

Its the smart play, that's for sure.

The refs called a false start on the Lions on 4th down when it was clearly offsides.

 

[rockaction]

Eminem vs TSwift for the Super Bowl

You'd better lose yourself and shake it off before you have bad blood

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Ending in a pick 6.

Lol. Our rosters are 50+taxi+IR x 16.

 

[travdogg]

Eminem vs TSwift for the Super Bowl

Musically I'm taking Swift, actually probably in every way.

 

[jon_mx]

If you give Stafford the ball with a chance to win. he will

Halftime Celebrity Death match. Let's get it on!

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Eminem vs TSwift for the Super Bowl

You'd better lose yourself and shake it off before you have bad blood

It'd be so empty without me.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Are the lions going for 2 on this next td to go up 9? I say yes.

If he gets a chance to kick a FG and make it 4 again allowing his Defense a better chance to hold next time out and passes for a 4th down play...
That's what I would be more worried about

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Eminem vs TSwift for the Super Bowl

Guess who’s back. Tell a friend. Taylor’s back. Cute rear end.

 

[rockaction]

Gibbs gets a first down with that hole.

They close quickly. He would have been up and through it.

 

[TartanLion]

Was gonna say get Monty back involved. Gibbs not working today

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Rams D intensity stepped up

 

[BobbyLayne]

Clutch punt

 

[The Frankman]

heart attack moment for Trammell

 

[dmac37]

Not feeling warm and fuzzy right now

 

[Moonlight]

Have to score a TD first

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Man, that punt returner's sphincter just clenched hard enough to make washers from an iron pipe.

 

[dmac37]

A Jamo shot should have been one of the plays there....

 

[IHEARTFF]

It’s me hi I’m the real slim shady

 

[travdogg]

That was not a good time for a 3 and out. Feels like momentum may have switched.
