Lions vs Chargers Game Day Thread

[Old Lion]

Man up and own it OL.

"You can plug anyone in at DT in Austin's magical defense."

- Old Lion all off season

Again, it was not DT that cost us the game. Pass rush has no effect on WR screen plays. That is on the back seven

Suh and Fairley used to blow up screen plays no problem. Good times.

 

[Old Lion]

Suh was the defense, not Austin. Not sure what other proof you guys need, but you'll get it. Gonna be a long season.

1 whole game. Well then, I am convinced. Especially with 160 yards rushing straight up the middle on Suh.

Not WR screens. Traditional screens yes.

Little Danny Woodhead shredded the middle of the D line. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Starting to question how you really spend your Sundays. We already know Mike's wife doesn't let him watch the games. Are you under the whip too, OL?

Anyone who actually watched football yesterday want to discuss it?

Yes, he shredded us for 40 whole yards. Not quite 160

 

[RobBase]

And two TDs. How many rush scores did Miami surrender? 0.

400 yards passing and OL still thinks the Lions D is good. Guess I'm the only poster who's confident enough to admit when I'm wrong. Not surprising.

I'm still trying to figure out if Stafford or Lombardi has ever seen a 6-man front in their football careers. Sure didn't look like it.

Sadly, it sure didn't. Stafford looks like the same QB as he always has. Not sure he had the smarts to learn the game like a pro.

I gave Suh his props. The bad part was you gave Austin his also. Can't quote you without looking, but I do remember you praising Austin for knowing how to use Suh.

Stop trying so hard Rob. You're starting to forget what you said.

Suh blew up more screens last year than the previous four. Austin's scheme made Suh a few extra million. IMO Suh gets paid either way, but he got more because of one season with Austin.

 

[RobBase]

Suh and Fairley blew up screens for years. You guys who don't watch the games have no cred. OL, Gandy, Mike. You're message board junkies, not football fans.

I'm still not picking on Stafford yet.

Here is my problem with all the Stafford love.

First he get's hurt.
Fans (myself included): "He doesn't have an O-line."

Then he has back to back years with Linehan where the Lions were top ten in pass blocking.
Fans: "Oh he has no defense and has to do everything himself."

Last year, it's safe to say the defense was elite. After no playoff win....
Fans: "Well, he had no O-line. Look at the numbers"

When is he ever responsible? Dude throws so many back breaking picks in games.

 

[jayfan]

Ya let's blame Lombardi. He doesn't play on the field. And neither does your magical Austin.

They both called poor games, though.

 

[broncosmitty]

I'll be eyeballin' Rudolph, Johnson, 60minutes and Cordy extra close tonight.

Hopefully Austin follows suit.

I guess. Maybe the players just can't get it done.
