NFL GDT: Week 15: Throw Down in Motown OR Keystone Clash

[Ace]

Hearing an announcer talk about lining up to draw Atlanta offsides and not being too aggressive…THEY ARE 2-11

 

[Ace]

Nothing funnier than bad teams trying trick plays.

what the f*** was that

Nothing funnier than bad teams trying trick plays.

It wasn't even a good trick play either. It was the most vanilla trick play ever and absolutely no one bought it.

My theory has always been that trick plays should only be run by good offenses because

A - they have good players
B - the defense has to respect their actual playbook and scheme for specific things you can exploit

When you’re a bad team, especially with a young or inexperienced QB…the other defense is just going to run some coverage disguises and rush at you. It’s not chess when one side struggles at checkers.

Like…the Lions shit works constantly because whoever they’re facing spent all week working on how to prepare for things they’ve seen and cover stud players. The Raiders? Defenses are just trying to throw in presnap confusion and then they’re coming for you.

Sam Darnold experience.. live it

Vikes really look shitty letting Bears stick around

And the Bears traditionally don’t start playing offense until the second half

 

[Ace]

Nice play for Atlanta got Vegas all mixed up for an easy London TD.

Meanwhile…stop giving Swift 4th and 1 carries. He spells his name Sawft.

Bears Bearing

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Bears

That is what you call, Vikes and everyone was just waiting for it

 

[hatterson]

Bears stopped on 4th and 1 again.

It's almost like having your QB run the ball backwards for 5 yards to start the play makes it harder to pick up.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I just realized the Raiders activated Mattison and he fumbled first carry. He's a terrible RB... why are they wasting carries on him?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Bears easily the worst team defensively against 3rd and long

Have you seen the Bills play a game before?

 

[hatterson]

I love how Darnold was trying to line the Vikings up to spike the football to stop the clock after being sacked on 3rd down.

It will be fascinating to see what contract he gets next year.

 

[hatterson]

Atlanta punting from the Raiders 37* is certainly a choice.

*was at the 42 after they took an intentional delay of game penalty.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Fair catching at the 3.. whole new world.

They are a gutless and terrible team. Would love to see them lose to the Raiders on a Monday night.

 

[GKJ]

Raiders cough up a safety

 

[PanniniClaus]

Fair catch at the 3... leads to a safety.. Bad football leads to more bad football.

 

[Halladay]

The Raiders are woeful.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Heaven have mercy on my soul watching these games tonight.

double the garbage

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Williams is just killing Chicago tonight.

Not seeing open receivers and then missing layups.
