RGIII's TDs and yardage came in garbage time, just like last week.
Seattle's secondary is probably the best in the league.
RGIII's TDs and yardage came in garbage time, just like last week.As I said last week. Was it Davis/Boldin, Kaep, or the Green Bay defense that allowed Kaep to throw all over them last week?
Fact: RG III (Not a very pocket passer) threw for over 320 yards and 3 TDs on the packers.
And then when Kaep is throwing against a team that is known to have a decent defense. Throws for 127 yards.
Just saying.

TB - another heart breaking loss at the last second.
Miami - 2-0? Is this for real or just a funk?
SF is still being shut out in 3rd QT?

what a terrible weekend of football
The only 1 oclock game I could watch was the Browns/Ravens. It got so boring I ended up watching youtube videos of endzone dances and player miked up.
Then the Lions were on at 4. Of course they found a way to lose. They suck so bad.
Bush's injury played a lot into that, and they seemed to totally lose their gameplan after he was out, and not to mention, 11 penalties for over 100 yards. I'm willing to bet RGIII gonna wake up on us next week.
Otherwise, I agree -- but Special Teams really screwed us. Jason Hanson will be missed.
and Boldin ends up with zilch. Nothing. Zero.
Bastard (yes I had him starting)
They came out playing flat again. I knew we were in trouble when I saw that. Between plays they were just...blah. They were not fired up and it showed. Then on the last drive, they proved they were the same old Lions: 3 and 6 or whatever it was, Stafford throws and 3 yard pass. They dropped it...good! 4th and 6...this time Johnson runs a 3 yard route and catches it. WTF?! What does 3 yards get you? Run the extra 3 yards!!!!
Its the same thing as before. I bet if they could have, they would have kicked a field goal even though they were down by 4.
And yes...I'm mad.
Funny thing about the lions, assuming bush stays healthy, they really could use another high talent WR.
Maybe Millen was right.
Miami:
Week 1: Cleveland
Week 2: Indy
Week 3: Atlanta
Scheduling snafu. They'll be back to normal next week.
I'm not so sure about that to be honest. The Dolphins looked solid and had they brought the heat the entire game, I'm not sure it would've been that close. Barring a major injury, I think they're a solid wildcard contender and with the way the Patriots have played so far, it may not be impossible for them to win the division. Tannehill impressed me quite a bit.
Colts have the look of a 7-9 team. I'm hoping I'm wrong and that it will only take a couple of weeks for the new players to gel, but between the offensive line playing like crap and the defense being a sieve, I'm not overly optimistic. Irsay is going to have to spend the bucks to get a top flight defensive coordinator instead of hiring retreads like Larry Coyer (the last one) and Greg Manusky (the current one). When they hired Manusky, I couldn't believe my ears.
How 'bout that bet from last year?!?
Both our teams and 1-1.
Can't really say its cause they are seeing a tougher schedule, as they haven't played any of those types of teams yet. Maybe the QB is missing the previous OC.
I'm not sure I can bear to watch.
aren't you now a broncos (i.e., manning) fan?
With competent coaching, the Lions have the talent to be a perennial playoff team. I didn't think the Lions sucked from a talent perspective last year; I thought they suffered from poor coaching and poor discipline.
I was very honest last year and repeatedly stated that the Colts just happened to be near the top of the large tier of mediocre teams in the NFL last year and were helped by a last place schedule. They're going to regress this year because 1) they're playing a much harder schedule 2) at least at this point, the offensive line doesn't appear to have been sufficiently patched over the offseason. Irsay can keep tweeting his "demands" about getting better on the offensive line, but until they address the issue (whether it is coaching, scheme, or players, I'm not sure), nothing will happen.
The defense has been shockingly bad. Last week, everyone in the world knew EXACTLY what Oakland would do and yet, Pryor ran roughshod over our defense. This week, Tannehill was hitting Wallace and others at will. Manusky is not the answer and was horrible with the Chargers before the Colts hired him.
Seattle was 8-0 last year at home. They beat the 49ers 42-13 in week 16. I was surprised the 49ers failed to reach 10 points but losing and by a wide margin should not have been a surprise.
I'm not surprised either and I don't really think the game was a dud. Both defenses dominated for one half, then only Seattle kept dominating for the entire game.
It was impressive.

PEDs will do that for a team.
