NFL 2012 Week 4 |OT| Dewey Beats Truman
- Thread starter Buckethead
- Start date
While I doubt we will make the NFC Championship Game, I really do hope our handling of the 49ers wakes a few people up to the fact that we don't actually suck. We have one of the youngest football teams in the league, but there is a ton of talent to be had.

This hurts gator, this hurts.
Huh, their schedule looks pretty rough. That said I think they'll win at least 8.

i'm still baffled that we didn't blitz ponder more. i feel like we blitzed 3 times in the game.... one was almost a pick 6 if whitner doesn't flat out drop it, 1 was an incompletion and a 3rd was a TD where ponder just floated a duck that was caught 1 handed against tight coverage.... could've been another pick for whitner if he turned around.
but no. fangio sticks to his "front 4 and nothing more!" style of pass rush and gives a young QB all the time he wants to sit back and look at the D. i hope he learned a valuable lesson this week

At least 8? I see 5 total. Worst team in the north by far.
True, I forgot Stafford might be out out so Shaun Hill will improve the Lions so there goes this Sunday.
Blitzing only works against garbage qb's. You just described what sounds like a smart gameplan. Though I do agree with blitzing young qb's generally you just want to use a few blitzes per game to surprise the qb. Blitzing too much is what shitty D's like the Steelers do because they are desperate.

Rudolph is constantly out in pass routes, and AD gets stuck in spin move animations whenever he's asked to block. I don't know if we've picked up a blitz so far this season. The plan is just to throw 6 yard slants so we don't have to think about it. Let's hope we never get in 3rd and 10+.

We almost never blitz.
Has to talk about something since the election is all but over.

Mitt Romney - pro union, pro every man.
Edit: Oh wait, he's blaming the refs for being locked out. :jnc
With the way our Oline has been, I don't think Romo is making out of this game healthy. Orton will probably come in and lead the Cowboys to victory over his former team.
Of course, Jason Garrett isn't going to make any in-game adjustments when he sees how bad our oline is gonna be against the bears rush.
It also doesn't help that our best corner, Brandon Carr, will probably play safety after Church is out for the year.

Just rename them the Detroit Dragons. Maybe sign Rex Grossman to complete the image.
LeBeau always blitzes when nothing else is working. I saw it against Manning and Palmer and everytime we dialed up a desperation blitz it was picked up and they killed us for big plays.

Not saying we don't blitz, but it's rare. Especially this year with the big nickel as Lebeau is just hanging everyone back.
You are right that it is easily picked up though. No push at all.

qb controversy!
I'm actually worried about the Vikings game. Our offense can't do shit and seems to have forgotten the 10-12yd passing strikes that were our bread and butter last year
Lions offense: run ball on first down, 3 yard pass on second down. Start slanging in third quarter
No worries. Even when the Vikings were good and the Lions were always 3-13, those games were close. I expect a righting of the ship this week.
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It's actually now run-run-pass-punt.
Also, can't throw past 5 yards in the 1st half. Apparently that's on Scott Linehan's "No-no" list.
I'm not sure what kind of distinction you're making but I'm failing to see it. Taking him out of the game is trying to injure him no?

I like the running plays though! Leshoure looked promising against an admittedly less than stellar Titans D. Would be nice if Matthew could stop thinking about his post game meal and start throwing the ball down field. Its like Linnehan spent the offseason learning from Schotty and instilling it in Stafford. Fucking slang it Matt

Childless game plan stealing shit from the Vikings.
This Obama/Romney stuff reminds me of
John F. Kennedy: I would like to take this opportunity to express my fondness for Duff beer.
[cheers]
Richard Nixon: Uh, I'd also like to express my fondness for that particular beer.
[boos]
Homer: The man never drank a Duff in his life.

Can't believe everybody is picking against the Jets again this week.
49ers are fraudulent. They got run out of town by the damn Vikings. They have no chance in hell against Tebow.

Lord knows what Tebow would do to us, but lucky for us, he'll only be in on a few snaps.
Also, you do remember your best player just tore his ACL right?
We're sensitive about comebacks and referees because of this:
We have long memories and high sodium levels.
If you beat 49ers then I would thank you for let 49ers lose some important wins so they can't lock their playoff spot or become division champ yet.

I'm somewhat new to NFL-age...Man, kudos on these consistently awesome OTs
I'll change my pick once Tebow is confirmed to start. Otherwise Mark Sanchez might be the best player for the Niners this week.
You're next bro. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Back the fuck up before you get smacked the fuck up.
bitch move...where is the video for this

Nah, it will be like the Niners game last year. Romo will get hurt, Neckbeard comes in throws two picks then Romo comes back and leads us to glory!
I feel you, Marshawn! Go hawks!

not even the refs from the packers/seachickens game could bail the niners out if tebow starts

I like being able to run too, although we'll have to see how he does against a good d-line. But I'd prefer an offense that didn't ban 10 yard passes in the first half. It's beyond frustrating.
speaking of good d-lines, how bout that Detroit d-line huh. Elite defense, pressuring QBs all day, The Grey, etc
