Skins lions post game

Took the ugly loss but more important any news on 71 and 24??

[punch it in]

Jones really reverted back to his butter finger bologna today. That fumble down close was just bad.
Grant needs to be released asap.
Cousins played well. Crowder is awesome. The D played damn well enough to win, after Norman went out Stafford owned us. Breeland is not the answer opposite Norman. He might be the biggest disappointment on the team thus far.
Vernon Davis had a huge game.
Please let there be good news on TW, and Norman. Without those two for any extended period of time will be hard to overcome.
Losses are always tough, but this is far from the end of the world.

Yeah. One of those days for sure.

When a ball bounces off the DB'S body and lands like a gift basket in the WR'S arms, you knew lady luck was not going to be on our side.

Kirk was great in the 4th , very impressed. The fumbles killed us, the only legitimate loss was Pittsburgh. We are still a 8,9,10 win team.

Why is Robert Kelly not getting more carries?

The dude is the best 1st and 2nd down runner on the team and it isn't even close.

Thought CT looked good today. But yeah Kelly needed to be in there at times.

Lions didn't beat us, we beat ourselves. It was one of those days were we didn't play well and luck wasn't on our side. Thompson, Crowder, Davis played well. Where was Cravens? Everyone says Djax is great and need to be resigned, haven't seen anything from him the last 3 weeks.

As somebody said, we aren't a bad team, but we certainly aren't one that can overcome turnovers and mistakes. Offense only scoring 3 points in the half is mind boggling. You can't play 3/4 of the game shitty and expect anything good.


I still find Joe Barry inadequate. The man has no balls. Going prevent defense is only going to prevent you from wining. Stick with what has been working and let your players play. Period. I'd rather them get burnt deeped playing their defense than to give up this kind of loss with a "prevent" defense. The sad thing is, he's going to do just enough to keep his job so he's retained next year. Personally, I don't see Gruden or Barry taking us deep in the playoffs. This isn't me advocating Gruden be fired, but he still hasn't shown me much.


One of the reasons why Gruden hasn't shown me much is because players like Matt Jones is still playing. Had this been Bill Belichek, Jones would be inactive the next 2-3 weeks and probably moved to third string. You got to have discipline on this team, but it's high time we bench Jones and make him inactive. He's had his many chances, it's time to move on now.

I completely agree with the first three highlighted items.

In this league, it's hard for any team to overcome as many turnovers as we had today. The goal line fumble was, by far, the worst. If we had scored there, we might have run them out of their own stadium.

I think Barry has done a decent job with the personnel he has to work with but I also wonder if he's going to be able to get us to a championship level on D once we have the horses.

I hate the so called "prevent defense" with a purple passion. As you said, it just prevents a team from winning. I never want to see my team play that or a three man rush, which I also passionately hate. I want an aggressive defense.

As for Jones, I think he can be salvaged, although I agree that his fumbling earned him a seat on the bench for at least the rest of the Lions game. Fumbling can't be tolerated. It is a killer. He has to fix it and I think he can. Other players have fixed their fumbling problems.

Oh, I almost forgot to say that I think Jay Gruden is doing a good job. The players play hard for him and most of them continue to get better at their jobs. We still need more good players and Barry may or may not be the answer as the DC, but Jay is fine in my book.

It was a very tough loss yesterday. It happens. Now, it's time to focus on the next game. Play one game at a time. Prepare well, play hard and smart. If Kirk gets on a roll, I think we can beat most of the teams on the rest of our schedule.

CT did look good today. Great 3rd down back, hand him the ball on occasion to keep the D honest, but he has no business being the feature back in some of those situations today. I hope they give Fat Bob 20-25 carries next week...use Jones to spell him now and then, continue to bring CT in on passing downs. That is the formula...

Joe Barry you're right back on the hot seat. That last drive was horseshit. Stop playing zone you stupid ass idiot. I can deal with losing if you're trying to knock the QB off his spot. Getting paper cut down the field is inexcusable.

I'd put Kelly in as the starter. Not cause of the fumbles, but because he looks like he has better vision, runs low and gets behind his pads, has more wiggle and runs violent. He just looks like a better pure runner. Jones for such a big strong guy kind of runs high and timid.

Didn't look good with 71. But 79 can get the job done. Norman will hopefully be ok.

Breeland looks like a back up at best.

I totally agree, but even when we had a rush on, Stafford was damn good at avoiding it and took off. Bottom line is Scotty M better use our first two draft picks for the DL next May.

This team is 100% pure garbage. We snatch defeat out of the hands of victory. I give up. We probably don't win another game this year. I'm so sick of this. I'm not supporting these losers anymore.
