Been watching this eagles game all day. This lions game really doesn’t matter. 

I'm watching the Bills and jets

[Aggies7]

Dan campbell’s terrible 4th down decisions back in September are the only thing keeping the lions from sweeping us this year 

[Parfigliano]

Jefferson is the entirety of the O.

[Aggies7]

A sack on first down, and we must get into the end zone because that inane 2P conversion makes a FG meaningless

That and the defense is guaranteed to give up more points.

So they kick it

[LVTwinsfan]

Yeah, had to take the 3 on that

Lol would have been nice to have made it an 11 point game instead of 12, but analytics said otherwise 

[Aggies7]

Defense hasn’t forced a lion punt since 8:00 left in the second quarter 

 

edit: forgot about the fake punt

Cant argue with that. But if you’re always thinking what can happen in worse case scenario you’re probably not going to win anyway.

[Aggies7]

3rd and 9, can’t get off the field.

[Vanimal46]

When you can’t make a stop on 3rd and 7+ yards, you’re not gonna win.

Just fire the DC already.

If 2PCs are successful half the time, how successful are regular xp’s? Even with us being terrible at them

[Aggies7]

418 yards now for the lions. 

[Mike Sixel]

If it weren't for bad play calling, it would be a five point game somehow...... Not that this D won't give up points at will the rest of the way. 

[Aggies7]

Hard to believe there is this little talent in the secondary considering how much of recent drafts has been spent addressing it

In the Vikings case, they would probably be better off never kicking for an extra point

All three guys drafted this year are out..... Kind of mitigates that. But I get your point. I actually think the LBers aren't made for this scheme.

[Aggies7]

3rd and 6, does Detroit even bother passing 

[Vanimal46]

So it’s very obvious that we don’t have the personnel in the building to be successful in Donatell’s defensive scheme. My question is, what does he need to have a top 10/top 5 defense? Do we literally need 3 Sauce Gardners who can play man coverage all day long? Faster LBs?

It would seem they are very very bad at evaluating DB talent

[Aggies7]

Sheesh, eagles now with 48 points on the giants. They remind me of the 98 Vikings with a better defense. Not as explosive but just as impossible to defend.

[Aggies7]

This would be the rabbit’s foot of all rabbit’s feet to pull this one out 

[Aggies7]

Last 5 weeks, yards allowed

450 (today)

486

A quick TD, three and out, another TD. Both with two point conversions. Easy.

[Vanimal46]

Jefferson is worth keeping the TV on making ridiculous catches every game.

Onside kick. No chance I’m willingly putting the defense back on the field 

[Vanimal46]

Udoh in at LT. Oh boy. 

[Parfigliano]

YAC Theilan strikes again
