Plus schedule strength changes. Injuries happen. Teams take shits. Before this year started which was a tougher game Detroit or Green Bay?

Doesn't matter. Detroit has a solid, consistent defense, while ours isn't. They shut us down for 3 quarters. I know if
Mr. Fumblitis didn't do his thing near the goal line we would have won, but that
Lion's defense is consistent and dependable. I don't think we can say the same about our defense.

We will lose this game. Then win final two is my guess. Will get in playoffs if the cards lay out right

This is going to be the toughest of the Skins remaining games since the D struggles with running QBs. That said I think the O steps up and scores the required 30 point minimum needed to win any game.

Skins 33
Cats 30

You've been in the Detroit area too long. Or maybe not long enough to know their playoff history. My point is that the Detroit Lions are the choking dogs of NFL playoff football. Of course we would beat them in the playoffs.

Carolina is going to be pissed, super pissed, hope we can match their level of pissiness. It's a code red super pissed off baller Cam and Olsen trap game no doubt.

So it was Preston Smith on that play? No surprise. WTF is he even on the field at this point? Trent Murphy should be getting all his playing time.

Thought in Breland situation above, if two guys are uncovered, you are
supposed to cover the deep man (Sproles in this case)

For the sake of argument only, let's assume that Smith had tried to pick up the man he was assigned on that play. Well, he's too slow and not quick enough to cover anybody anyway.

I said it in another thread and I'll say it again here: the only hope we have of getting any value out of Smith is to have him gain weight and play DE. He's just too slow to play OLB.

That was a terrible 2nd Round pick. On Smith's college tape, it was crystal clear that he lacked quickness and now we know he's just plain slow. That wasted pick is on Scot M. Scot needs to start appreciating speed and quickness a lot more than he seems to now.

Also, I can't think of an NFL team that doesn't have ILB's and saftey's who are faster and quicker than the ones we have. Our ILB's can't cover TE's because they're too slow. Our saftey's can't help the CB's because they're too slow.

It really doesn't matter whether or not a player knows the playbook or is a good citizen or is nice to his mother if he can't get to where he needs to be to make a play.

I'm as sick and tired of our slow-ass ILB's and saftey's, as I am with Smith. We desperately need more speed on defense. Scot needs to find us some people at those positions who can run.

To me that's a coaching failure. Smith has to know his assignment, but the coach's job is to drill it into their head and instill discipline not to miss it. It's not happening.

I fucking hate Joe Barry.

Would have been a TD either way, if he took Sproles away Wentz would have had the shallow guy open.

Can't make up for a brain fart.

Haha I'm with you on that one.

I would say Foster isn't that bad of a coverage guy though, he made some plays.
Not saying he's Luke Kuechly but I really think he's a guy we'd be fine with if guys around him were better (DL, safeties, Compton...).

It's super hard to judge our ILB because our dline line doesn't do there job and allow guys to move to the second level. Oline get to foster and wil too easy.

I think foster is superior to wil...wil just isn't quick enough around the line and can't shed. Cravens should be starting next to foster next year.

Ricky jean has played better since the bye, but we need 2 new starting dlinemen...and Chris baker shouldn't slide inside, keep him at out de. We need a fat mutherfucking badass in the middle.

I think we win the turnover battle in this one. We force a key turnover in the 4th quarter.
