About that Moore play...

Look at Olsen and Funch. As soon as Moore catches the ball and darts to the endzone they both sort of stand around and jog upfield while ALL the Lions defenders jet upfield to catch up to Moore. Even some of our oline men end up getting more ground than Funchess. Darius Slay ended up making the tackle and if Funch blocked him for even a second Moore would've took it the house and Gano doesn't miss that FG. Look at the rest of the offense on that play too. Olsen doesn't bother to block out, Wright tries to set up a block for second and then gets out of the way.  The lack of urgency from this team is concerning both on offense and defense. Between plays like this and all the arm tackles we're not making the most of our talent. I cant help but to chalk this up to a coaching issue. Most of this team acts like they could care less if they win or not and it all starts with the HC. What kind of coach gives their players off the whole weekend after losing big to Pittsburgh? I saw some poster bouncing around the excuse of missing a day due to rain but we had more prep time than Detroit. This should have been a big win for us. If we want to make a deep run this lazy poo has to end going forward.

This team just has no spirit this year, it really harkens back to the feeling that Rivera's message has gotten stale. Hell, even teams with half our wins seem to have more fire than us right now.

I mean Luke Kuechly is out there making some wimpy candy arse tackles too.  I mean, is this real life?

On this play, in all fairness, Funch was never in position to make a legal block.  Funch is certainly not any less culpable for his play in the game because of it.  He was terrible and deserves to polish the pine for it, but on this play, he couldn't have blocked his man without a flag.

I think what we learned on this play is that while DJ Moore has a lot of upside, he's not Agent 89.  Nobody catches 89 from behind.  Our burner is still Samuel.  

Remind me again why we don't play Samuel?

This is what I’m saying. They’re just no longer buying in to what Rivera has to say.

I hate how players get caught up on watching themselves on the jumbo tron and peaking behind them. That could've had something to do with it.

In the end though, it it took a CB with elite speed to catch up to him and DJ is elusive and strong as fug, but hes not our fastest player. Keep in mind he's a WR whose about 215 and built more like a RB. DJ is NOT Curtis Samuel, OBJ, or Tyreek Hill.

I don't really fault him for that play too much. There was no excuse not to get in the end zone after it.

You do realize what he did to break open? It’s not like he ran a 9-route on that play

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
