[quote=saden1;594625]Just watched the Lions vs Viks game on NFL Rewind and I must say the Lions looked good on several drives. I didn't know they have Larry Foote playing for them now and they did a pretty decent job against Peterson. They're not going to be easy to beat for any of you that think this game should be a gimme.[/quote]

The Lions have a great LB crew (Foote, Ernie Simms and Julian Peterson) and a good front line (Grady Jackson and Sammie Hill are too huge to move). Add that Schwartz is a great defensive strategist and coach, and I see them as a much improved defense. If they would play offense like the SKins (ultra-conservative passing and running behind Jansen) they should win a lot of 9-7 games.
Hopefully not this week, though. Let's hope they air it out and try to be aggressive so Stafford can add to his 5 picks.

Re: The Redskins Are Close
 

when i got in the car today after work I had the radio on the sirius nfl channel and they were talking about the skins game.They of course would not be surprised if the lions won.Then they said since JC has been the starter weve averaged 18 points a game,which ranks 26th in the nfl.I asked this in another thread and I'll ask again here,if thats not JC's fault,whose is it? Can JC bring us a superbowl,of course he can,if we have a defense that doesnt let teams score over 10 points a game.
To me there just seems to be some intagibles that JC doesnt have.I cannot ever remember him throwing a succesful fade route in the endzone to anybody,I dont even remember any attempts,why?
When was the last time you saw him run with the ball and do a slide? and I mean a good slide,not head first.I can remember a few oh shit I better get down funky looking slides that looked bad and the form was terrible.These 2 things dont make him a bad qb,but they are just some of the intagibles I see that bother me.

Re: The Redskins Are Close
 

Are We Seriously Tripping Up On The Lions' Tail?

We cannot just predict games and their scores because, its not realistic. For example, in the first game against the Midgets the biggest concern(s) were brought up (We all know what happened). Then against the Reindeers, we improved (A little) on offense. Then when we got into the *** zone we stalled. Today (Friday) at the Skins practice they heavy dosed on *** zone work.

Lets be real here.

Im not gonna be Negative about the Skins

Im not gonna be Positive about the Skins

But i will be staying "Medium" with an open mind on Sunday.


HAIL!!!
Snow!!!
Rain!!!

Re: The Redskins Are Close
 

Man oh man I hope we dont drop this game. I really hope we dont.

Trent Dilfer sucked as a QB and he got a SB ring based on having a great DF, he's now on ESPN talking as if he know's something. JC is way better than Dilfer so beleive me the SB rings coming.

I agree that Campbell can be Trent Dilfer. I have doubts that our D can be the Ravens of 2001, which is considered one of the best Defenses of all time. Dilfer went on to become a back-up the rest of his career, as did Brad Johnson. Campbell is in danger of being a back-up on someone else's roster next year. Happens all the time.

Re: The Redskins Are Close
 

I just saw someone put what I was going to say about Dilfer...if he can get a team there, then anyone can..hell they didn't score an offensive touchdown for an entire month. Look, Campbell is doing what Zorn is asking. He is NOT taking shots down the field (in my opinion) because he doesn't want to risk turning the ball over, so he'll check down to the shorter receiver. I guess the option we have is, do we want a guy that isn't going to throw the ball down field into double coverage just for a possible completion or more like a pick (Jake Delhoume, Jay Cutler, Brett Favre) or someone that is going to see its not there, check down and try another shot later in the game? There is a lot of risk reward with throwing deep, and yes he has missed a couple of throws, but I think once he gets confidence in Kelly and Thomas we'll see a lot more deep balls over the season, then the offense will be one of the best in the league.

If what you are saying is true, then maybe its something to get excited about. I think alot of the cures for this team is just to simply score more. Thats what the fans want to see. Give em something to cheer about. But until they prove that they can, until they put up more than 20 points in a game, until alot of things happen, I am ready to just sit here and be slightly pessimistic and expect the worse.

The fans want to see points, plain and simple.

Is he Campbell or Zorn?

Re: The Redskins Are Close
 

This is only a big game for Zorn if we lose.

I'll go one step further and say this is a big game for Zorn if we don't kill them.
