Am I the only one who misses Chip Lohmiller?

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Why is Caldwell and Lloyd not being targeted? Is Lloyd even on the field?

Well, I miss the 1991 version of Lohmiller.

Suisham isn't going to hit all of them.

He's dressed but he's not on the field.

[QUOTE=Beemnseven;360176]Again, have some faith in your quarterback. Using this logic you should never throw the ball on your own side of the field.

Campbell has a 121 qb rating.[/QUOTE]

We're just going to go in circles here it seems. Sometimes you attack in those situations. Sometimes you don't. With our top two receivers out deep in our own territory, we chose not to attack

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

[QUOTE=Beemnseven;360165]Why is it automatically assumed that there will be a turnover?[/QUOTE]

Nobody is saying it would be...just taking the possibility away, and keeping a lead going into half.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Smoooooot

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

AAWW COME ON!!!! This sucks...

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Yup...Taylor got there too early.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Anybody still bitching about the gameplanning... Look across the field, Martz's high powered attack always offense is really lighting it up.

Oddly enough, we find ourselves on the same side of the fence here. We did the right thing before half. There are times when conservative play calling is warrented. The skins were right.

For all you that don't know...I got a lot of flack for saying how conservative we were in the Giants game.

Fair enough. It just seems that Gibbs has been unnecessarily conservative in these situations. If Campbell had a shaky outing up to this point, I might agree, but he's been on target.

Damn, Washington is out too?

What that the league's most explosive offense is actually getting 1st downs? Dude, it was going to happen.

There is only 1 that is...the rest of us see the effort, and the great play calling thus far.

We should give Campbell a freakin medal with the WR's he has.

I was referring to the pass interference call

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

So no #1 wideout, no #2 wideout, no RT, no RG, no SLB, no LDE? That's over 25% of our starters. Jesus we are getting hit with the injury bug.

Agreed!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

I know, injuries are hurting bad this year..

Anyway I have a bad feelin Detroit has a comeback up it's sleeve :(

There was relatively little time on the clock, and we were deep in our zone with a 14 point lead...no need to play ultra aggressive all the time.

Curious as to how Saunders will do his playcalling now that we have no good WR options.

Has anyone even seen Lloyd on the field?

And we have still been able to move the ball.

If they can't beat us without the right side of our offensive line, both starting wideouts, our Pro Bowl SLB, and LDE, we are a better team than most (even the fans) think.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

no Lloyd yet but they did have Caldwell and McCardell on the field... in fact Keenan caught his 1st pass as a skin on the last series... looked good too!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Hey SS...what's up with the Rams playing better with Bulger and Jackson out? Frerotte has 2 td passes, and they are (shock) winning!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Woah, Who Is #85?

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

About time!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

ATTENTION: Brandon Lloyd sighting.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

OH MY, there has been a Lloyd sighting people!!!!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Lloyd Caught A Pass!!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

and there's Lloyd with his first catch

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

OMG, Lloyd sighting!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

I really don't like QB sneak calls.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

bad spot

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

We're definitely not getting the good spots today! Go for it!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

B. Lloyd still plays for the Skins?

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Fake punt?

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

I think we've been doing well running it...we could have got those 6 inches.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Bad challenge IMO. Those ball spots RARELY get overturned, especially on QB sneaks.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Rabach was over there talking to Gibbs, do you think he convinced him to challenge?

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

[QUOTE=BleedBurgundy;360214]bad spot[/QUOTE]

Apparently Gibbs thinks so too...looked like he didn't make it to me, but tough angle.
