Week 5 - Lions: Detroit What

[Diomedes]

He should have thrown the ball out of bounds rather than attempted the pass to Agholar.

the int was 100% on wentz...it wasn't a  particularly bad throw just a bad decision in that he forced the throw trying to make something happen...it was a throw you make with 30 seconds left not a minute thirty

still it should never be forgotten that this teams wr's suck and that play was a perfect example....the line gave him tons of time and went thru basically every progression he had and still no one was open

[Diomedes]

He should have thrown it out of bounds.

After the debate, I'll watch highlights.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah for anyone to blame it on anyone but Wentz is not right

Like Dio said go out of bounds or throw it far enough beyond the DB in trail to not allow him a chance to make a play

[QB Eagles]

Jordan Matthews was MIA this week compared to what he's been. I'm guessing he was a focus for the Lions. Take away that catch that wasn't a catch along the sideline and his stat line was the same as DGB. Three fewer targets than Agholor.

Three fewer targets than a guy who is never open... that's not good.

Did Doug say why Smallwood and Barner didn't get any run?

[Rome]

Agholor farging sucks.  He has zero ability and his awareness on the field is non-existent.  Wentz made a big mistake assuming he would somehow do his job and come down with that ball.  Lesson learned (hopefully).

[Don Ho]

Agholor has all the makings of being the next Freddie Mitchell.  Matthews as the next Pinkston, this is not good.

[Rome]

I have to assume that Howie sees the situation at receiver and will do something about it.  He's tried in a limited way already with DGB but it's clear that as a group they're just not good enough.

Matthews is a decent third receiver btw.  No more, no less. 

[Don Ho]

Did Doug say why Smallwood and Barner didn't get any run?

That is a damn good question! 

[Don Ho]

Holy shtein.  Watched a lot of the game again tonight.  These motherf'ing refs were disgusting.  I knew it was bad but this was out of control.  Please help me with this but does the NFL come out and say the refs missed that call or this call?  I know they protect them to the death but are they ever called out publicly?

[Rome]

It was 14-2.  I understand home cooking but that's absurd. 

[ice grillin you]

Did Doug say why Smallwood and Barner didn't get any run?

it was absolutely amazing how after what the group of backs did against Pittsburgh that agohlor got more carries than Smallwood and barner combined

between that bradham the Matthews call Doug had a really really bad day

[Don Ho]

As pissed off as I still am about yesterday, I am feeling really good about Bradham.  Guy is just a freaking beast out there. 

Kendricks is playing so poorly right now.  He can't cover, tackle, looks lost.  I don't recall seeing any of this crap his first two seasons.  Yes he's always been undersized but I remember when he had a motor and it was exciting watching him play.  Now I cringe when he's on the field.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Agreed on both fronts.

I was a huge fan of Kendricks and didn't want to think they'd deal him. But something changed in his game, namely tackling, and he's not what he was his rookie year. He's pretty much pigeonholed himself into being a weak side LB who blitzes. That's his strength.

Bradham needs to kick the case of the dumbfargery and he will be that much better
