The Wild Card Weekend Thread

[pbmax]

Get Bush out of there.

I should coach ;)

[Rastak]

Hug then. He leaned forward and tilted his head into him.


He hit him with the shoulder not his head and I assume trying to knock the ball loose.


PB, I'm not in favor of cheap shots....this one was close.

[pbmax]

He had his jersey but I am not sure that was what the late flag was for.

[Striker]

Couldn't make it any more blatant than that.

[denverYooper]

Do like me and just hope for a good game.

God willing, this goes into overtime.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Shouldn't Dez get flaged for running onto the field without a helmet?

[Harlan Huckleby]

bogus, that was blatant PI

[Striker]

Nevermind.

[pbmax]

He hit him with the shoulder not his head and I assume trying to knock the ball loose.


PB, I'm not in favor of cheap shots....this one was close.

I agree it was close. Player has to make it less close. No shots to head. Coaches must be forced to change the techniques they teach.

But he did lean into it, he could have just wrapped him up.

[woodbuck27]

That looked like a face mask on Pettigrew.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Coaches are cowards.

The math says go for it on 4th and short in the other team's territory.

[Teamcheez1]

How much did Jerry Jones pay to have that flag picked up?

[pbmax]

Same old Lions.

[denverYooper]

WOW. What a shitty punt. Lions trying to give it away now.

[pittstang5]

Detriot is imploding

[Rastak]

I agree it was close. Player has to make it less close. No shots to head. Coaches must be forced to change the techniques they teach.

But he did lean into it, he could have just wrapped him up.


You are probably right, could have had a lower target....nice punt......10 yards.....lol.....

[woodbuck27]

The zebras got that one right.

[woodbuck27]

You are probably right, could have had a lower target....nice punt......10 yards.....lol.....

Good grief ! :cry:

[denverYooper]

Same old Lions.

We could be looking at 8 minutes of Resistable Force vs. Movable Object.

[woodbuck27]

We're finally getting an interesting game.

[Tyrion Lannister]

The Lions have done a nice job keeping the league rushing leader in check.

[King Friday]

I still think Megatron will be heard from in this game.

[Rastak]

Go for it on 4th and 6?


wtf?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think I would punt here. tough call.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Go for it on 4th and 6?


wtf?

The math favors it.

[Tyrion Lannister]

See? :x

Heed the math.

[Teamcheez1]

Coaches are cowards.

The math says go for it on 4th and short in the other team's territory.

Ask Mike Sherman about that....

[woodbuck27]

A huge 4th down play coming up.

A 4th and 6.

and.....Romoo delivers a huge 21 yard pass to who else:

Jason Whitten. Their at the Detroit 21.

[denverYooper]

A Detroit holding penalty puts the ball at the Detroit 16 yard line.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Ask Mike Sherman about that....

Yeah, a mistake Sherman made was not going for it on 4th and 1 in the 4th and 26 game.

[pbmax]

How does the side judge see that hold he called on Beasley's route?

Umpire in front with view of hands didn't call anything.

[pbmax]

Yeah, a mistake Sherman made was not going for it on 4th and 1 in the 4th and 26 game.

After he went for 4th and 1 and Green tripped on Tausch.

[Rastak]

These guys are pissing me off.

[Harlan Huckleby]

That call on Levy was right, but it usually doesn't get called

[Harlan Huckleby]

if I'm detroit, i use timeout

[King Friday]

Interesting late decision to go into the shotgun and early a false start penalty.

[red]

if i'm detroit i'm furious about that no call PI after they had announced it was PI

[Tyrion Lannister]

Damn

[pbmax]

Lions front four is gassed.

[Rastak]

Nice hold on the LT.....I know, I sound like ThunderDan now......

[Striker]

"Justice" would see the Lions methodically move down the field and punch it in to win.

My money's on Stafford fucking it up somehow.

[Tyrion Lannister]

if i'm detroit i'm furious about that no call PI after they had announced it was PI

Afterward, Byrant ran onto the field without a helmet to pled his case...That shoulda been a flag, too, methinks.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Is Romo that good against the blitz that Detroit's worried about rushing more than 4? Dom Capers better be watching. Can't give Romo that much time.

[Rastak]

"Justice" would see the Lions methodically move down the field and punch it in to win.

My money's on Stafford fucking it up somehow.


Big fan eh?

[woodbuck27]

Good grief Dallas has to want this game.

There it is:

Romo to Terrence Williams for his second of the game.

Dallas 24 - Detroit 20.

[woodbuck27]

"Justice" would see the Lions methodically move down the field and punch it in to win.

My money's on Stafford fucking it up somehow.

The Lions team is tightening up.

[King Friday]

You have to bring more than 4 rushers there...Romo is NOTORIOUS for taking sacks in those situations.

[pbmax]

Good grief Dallas has to want this game.

There it is:

Romo to Terrence Williams for his second of the game.

Dallas 24 - Detroit 20.

What was the over under Woody?

[King Friday]

What was the over under Woody?

47.5 I think was the last line I saw.

[pbmax]

The one matchup I like versus Dallas is Doug Free in pass pro versus Peppers.

[Striker]

Big fan eh?

Just doesn't seem like Detroit's day.

[pittstang5]

Afterward, Byrant ran onto the field without a helmet to pled his case...That shoulda been a flag, too, methinks.

I thought I saw him on the field - that definitely should be a flag!

[King Friday]

Ouch...Dallas player gets hurt and stops the clock for the Lions.

[denverYooper]

Rodgers would've been nearing 50 on Dallas by now.

[Tyrion Lannister]

After he went for 4th and 1 and Green tripped on Tausch.

Conservative football is all about giving the other team a chance to win.

Gotta be aggressive.

Detriot shoulda gone for it on that 4th n 1 play. That decision might end up costing them the game.

[pbmax]

What?

[Rastak]

HAHAHAHAHAHA


Fall on it you fucking idiot.

[King Friday]

LMAO

fumble recovered by Dallas...then fumbled back to Detroit.

JUST FALL ON IT...NO NEED TO ADVANCE OR SHOWBOAT.

[red]

turning into the keystone cops

[pittstang5]

"Justice" would see the Lions methodically move down the field and punch it in to win.

My money's on Stafford fucking it up somehow.

there ya go....almost

[Harlan Huckleby]

What do you think Detroit's chances are of driving for a TD? Id give them 15%

[pbmax]

Nothing describes both franchises in this century better than that one play sequence right there. Maybe if Romo got hurt watching it on the sideline and Bryant was handed a subpoena.

[Harlan Huckleby]

That decision might end up costing them the game.

I'd say the non-PI call turned the game.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Did Jones pass some money in the 2nd half? Sure looks like everybody, including the refs, want Dallas to win.

[woodbuck27]

Hey Cameron Lawrence ...just fall down when you recover a fumble in that position.

[red]

What do you think Detroit's chances are of driving for a TD? Id give them 15%

yeah, not very high

miracle if detroit wins this one now

[pbmax]

What do you think Detroit's chances are of driving for a TD? Id give them 15%

http://www.advancedfootballanalytics.com/index.php/home/tools/live-wp-graph/index.php?gameid1=2015010401

23%

[King Friday]

Still waiting for Megatron to impact the game.

[woodbuck27]

The Lions given a new life.

[Rastak]

I remember the Leon Lett play like it was yesterday.....

[Harlan Huckleby]

Calvin, Calvin

[red]

I'd say the non-PI call turned the game.

yup, thats up there with the fail mary call imo

we'll be talking about that call for a long time if the cowboys end up winning

[red]

I remember the Leon Lett play like it was yesterday.....

that replay will never get old

[pbmax]

GET OOB AFTER A FIRST DOWN!

[Harlan Huckleby]

great, but get out of bounds

[Maxie the Taxi]

Dallas very good at batting down passes.

[pbmax]

Implosion

[denverYooper]

Chris Christie looks nervous.

[red]

lions players just dont like going oob

[pbmax]

Only need 3 or 4 yards.

[Harlan Huckleby]

kick the FG

[pbmax]

Good, now you can make any play call for 3 to go.

[pbmax]

Unbelievable. Just can't stand success.

[Rastak]

Girls win, Girls win....

[Teamcheez1]

I think Dallas is going to present a real challenge to our defense next week.

[Tyrion Lannister]

There's the game.

Shoulda gone for it on 4th and 1.

[denverYooper]

Chris Christie looks nervous.

And then awkwardly tried to hump Jerrah's leg on that 4th down play.

[pbmax]

Boys in Green Bay!!

[Striker]

Bring it Dallas.

[Harlan Huckleby]

kinda funny that Detroit O-linemen dove on fumble instead of picking it up and running. Not that it would matter.

[denverYooper]

I think Dallas is going to present a real challenge to our defense next week.

On the positive side, Masthay might not have to punt.

[King Friday]

If you are betting folk...grab the UNDER in DET/DAL.

When the Lions defense has played run-heavy offenses recently, the average points scored in those game has been in the mid 30s. The o/u here is 48. The only way I see this getting over 48 is if we have a turnover-fest where the offenses are given a short field on numerous occasions. The Dallas offense late in the year has feasted on poor defenses...they aren't racking up 40 on Detroit.

Yay. $200 for me.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Boys in Green Bay!!

I'm OK with that. But Cam in Seattle disgusts me. I'd like to see Seattle have to work up a sweat.

[red]

high of 11 for saturday, high of 18 on sunday

they just said it will be sunday

[Teamcheez1]

Does anybody believe the Panthers can give the Seahags a game next week? I thought Detroit had the best chance of knocking them off.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

I think Dallas is going to present a real challenge to our defense next week.

Really? I sure wasn't impressed.

[Rastak]

Doesn't Romo have some tie to Wisc?

[Harlan Huckleby]

http://www.dvorak.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/mckeran-we-was-robbed-41x41cm-acrylic-on-canvas.jpg

[King Friday]

The Panthers won't score more than 10 points in that game...Seahawks should win with relative ease.

[Maxie the Taxi]

He was born and raised in Burlington, I think.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Doesn't Romo have some tie to Wisc?

Yes, as he will be getting his ass handed to him next week in Wisconsin.

[Guiness]

All the Lions had to do was not lose - they had already won, they just had to not lose. And they lost.

And that was Chris Christie. What the heck is he doing there?

[denverYooper]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6jAieJIIAErjPK.jpg

[Rastak]

I meant current ties....obviously that's a hypothetical future tie.....

[pittstang5]

Fuck it, bring it on Dallas!

[woodbuck27]

Did anyone here really believe that the Lions would win this game?

So next week we have a good game:

Dallas @ Green Bay.

and....

Carolina @ Seattle

Indy @ Denver

Baltimore @ New England.

Next weekend will be exciting.

[pittstang5]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6jAieJIIAErjPK.jpg

He's a Dallas fan.

He pissed alot of NJ Resident Eagle fans off. he was in the booth with Jerry at the Dal/Philly game a few weeks ago.

[Bossman641]

Does anybody believe the Panthers can give the Seahags a game next week? I thought Detroit had the best chance of knocking them off.

Nope, and then we will live through another week of hearing how great the Seattle D is while knocking off a shitty offense

[King Friday]

And that was Chris Christie. What the heck is he doing there?

Ensuring Jerruh's money is in his hip pocket during a presidential run.

[woodbuck27]

The score 24-20 .... Dallas OVER Detroit.

That score fits the UNDER bet. I was wrong.

The last time that Dallas played in Green Bay in the playoff's was the 'Ice Bowl' game of 1967.

That's amazing to me.

[King Friday]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6jAieJIIAErjPK.jpg

Ah...the money shot.

I...I don't think you're quoting the right facts there.

[Tyrion Lannister]

All the Lions had to do was not lose - they had already won, they just had to not lose. And they lost.



Leading by 14 points in the 1st quarter ain't having a game won. In fact, "playing not to lose", aka, conservative football, is stupid as stupid is.

I stand by my arguement: Cadwell's conservative decision not to go for it on 4th and 1 in the Cowboys territory cost his team the game.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ensuring Jerruh's money is in his hip pocket during a presidential run.

I would say if you are trying to get Republican nomination, being a Cowboys fan might be good for image.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Did anyone here really believe that the Lions would win this game?



I did.

They woulda won if they hadn't gotten conservative.

[vince]

And that ref who picked up his flag on that PI late in the game is in line for a defense contract.

[woodbuck27]

I...I don't think you're quoting the right facts there.

Correction:

Last time in the playoffs?

Agree?

[Tyrion Lannister]

Btw, Garrett went for it TWICE on 4th down in the Lions' territory.

Unlike me, who wanted Detriot to win, the math is smiling.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Forecast for GB is 9 degree for a high on Saturday and 21 degrees on Sunday.

**edit



I...I don't think you're quoting the right facts there.

Does my edit make it correct?

If it does I'm amazed that's the history for Dallas and Green Bay Matchups.

[Teamcheez1]

Btw, Garrett went for it TWICE on 4th down in the Lions' territory.

Would MM have gone for it in the same situation as Caldwell?

[yetisnowman]

Yeah, a mistake Sherman made was not going for it on 4th and 1 in the 4th and 26 game.

Man I made the exact same comparison to my dad as we watched both games together. Almost same spot on the field and Sherman did that same pussy try to draw them off sides/delay of game/ punt combo.
What also kills me is how coaches rarely seem to factor risk vs reward and clock/yardage in that situation. Let me explain....
There was 8:00 left and u are at midfield. If you fail on 4th down Dallas can't run the clock completely down and beat you with a last second touchdown. Because of the short field and time left there would be a couple minutes left when u get the ball back regardless of whether Dallas ties it or takes the lead. Best case is you convert and keep driving and running the clock probably leading to more points and possibly icing the win. Risk vs reward says u certainly should go for it IMO.

[Joemailman]

I think Dallas is going to present a real challenge to our defense next week.

That will work both ways.

[Guiness]

I stand by my arguement: Cadwell's conservative decision not to go for it on 4th and 1 in the Cowboys territory cost his team the game.

I'm not talking about that - more incredible to me was the Lions continually messing up on the Cowboys final TD drive. Witten faking the DB (LB?) out of his jock on 4th and 6. Defensive holding on 3rd down. The eternity Romo had on the TD pass itself. It was painful to watch, and I wasn't even really pulling for them.

[woodbuck27]

And that ref who picked up his flag on that PI late in the game is in line for a defense contract.

I thought that Pettigrew was guilty of a face mask call.

I agree that whole thing was weird.

Remember the last time the Packers played in Dallas and the nonsense late in the game?

[Tyrion Lannister]

Would MM have gone for it in the same situation as Caldwell?

Not sure, but he should.

Unless you're up 40 or have an elite defense or the other team has Brooks Bollinger at QB, playing conservatively-especially in the playoffs-is simply giving the other team an opportunity to win the game.

[Tyrion Lannister]

That or two fumbles and an INT.

You know... Lions stuff.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Dallas is a better team. Still, an awful ending for cats

[texaspackerbacker]

Christie being there is about Texas votes, not Jones money - Jerry is rich, but not really Texas oil rich.

I, for one, think Carolina has a decent chance in Seattle. An extend-the-play QB like Newton is one way to attack the Seattle D, and the Panthers D seems better than earlier in the season.

It's always traumatic for me when my second favorite team plays the Packers. I think the Packers D is marginally adequate to stop Murray, and Capers will confuse Romo enough to have him screw up - a little bit at least. And the Cowboys will have a very hard time stopping Rodgers and the Packers passing attack. It won't be 45-7 again, but it just might be something like 51-24 Packers.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Yeah, somebody must have reminded Christie that Texas has more delegates/electoral votes than Michigan.

[denverYooper]

The most amusing part of the Christie in Jerryworld suite wasn't that he was there. There's not really a lot of surprise at that. Most of the jokes center around the awkward way that the celebration at the end unfolded. Jerry ignored his high 5 and then he half humped Jerry's hip once he was acknowledged.

I lost most of my empire in the divorce hahahaha.

I said I wouldn't bet on Carolina, but I wouldn't bet against them either. I don't see the Seahawks as quite as scary as last year, and I don't see the Panthers as quite as bad as their record.

All in all, while his very savvy social media campaign of the last several year has painted him as a bulldog, this makes him look more like a lapdog.


He looks like the unpopular, awkward fat boy who just wants to hang out with the stupid yet popular jock boys, even if he has to suck their tubes to do it.

And I'm a liberal.

If Capers called this (Ravens did versus Steelers on 3rd and 4) it might be the last straw for wist's ticker.

That was one bizarre rush. I remember seeing that play and couldn't believe what I was seeing. It worked so therefore it was genius.

Crazy if the QB is mobile, but has possibilities against one that isn't a running threat. Still if the LT/LG block it right and the RB picks up his man there should be a good opportunity for the QB to step up and hit a pass, especially over the middle for 4+ yards. I'm guessing Pittsburgh hadn't seen this look on tape before leading to pressure too quick to do anything. In that vein, I hope Capers has several unscouted plays ready to go on Sunday that, even if they have flaws, will put Romo on is ass.

If you know for a fact that the opposing team will be passing and, in all likelihood, not running a screen, this is a brilliant defense. It's essentially 11 v 9, as the right guard and center stand at watch the defensive tackle drop into coverage.

The obvious response would be to audible to a run right behind the center or in one of the gaps to either side of the center. A quick screen pitch to the running back would accomplish the same thing.

That was Tanier's point. Tomlin and Haley kept running RBs out there like there was a plan (they freely substituted all 3 all game), but they were not going to use them in key situations at all. So 3rd and 4 was going to be a pass, come hell or high water.

This has been a criticism of both Tomlin (before Haley) and Haley, that if their preferred starting RB or a vet is not available, you can safely ignore the run. Especially if its a young RB. Their wunderkind RB Bell had to prove himself last year while sharing the job and not getting a lot of crucial carries (also because the run game last year was awful).
