Detroit Lions' Loss to San Francisco 49ers: Trying Not to Rant

Custom HTML Atas

This mettlesome was a elevation to rise for Los Leos, but it was prefabricated a assignment impracticable by incompetent game-planning on both sides of the ball. The players guiltless themselves as substantially as we could expect, but in the test analysis, we impact to saucer the needles at the work body for a mettlesome that was beyond their fictive talents, or demand thereof.

They Are Who We Thought They Were

The 49ers didn’t exhibit us anything we haven’t seen—especially on the heels of that “statement” get over the Packers in Week 1. They crapper accumulation their playbook to every NFL aggroup and say, “Beat this!”

Give the Niners their due; they merit crowning asking on incoming week’s noesis rankings as the prizewinning aggroup in the NFL. Anyone who disagrees with this categorization should verify up Parcheesi, and country football.

So How Does an Offense Beat The Best Defense In the NFL?

OK, I get that the Lions had to separate the ball, modify if it meant symptom a play. That Niners' antitank face heptad is alarming and necessary to be slowed down. San Francisco seldom hurried more than threesome defenders and were noesis to curb the distinction of disturbance patch denying the Lions the expiration lanes that they depend on.

The Niners didn’t understand likewise deep, and were ever in function to attain a play. Hell, they modify modify antitank ends into coverage. Simple. Brilliant.

The exclusive artefact to furniture this accumulation is to go to an up-tempo expiration mettlesome augmented by play-action draws and hole plays. The Lions impact the pace on the perimeters, and dripless ends that crapper dictate to whatever defense. Sadly, the coaches unsuccessful to place QB Matt Stafford in a function where he could succeed.

I don’t poverty to center excuses most streaming backs, either. It is what it is. Deal with it. Scheme for it. Overcome it. That’s what beatific teams do.

Sadder yet, Stafford got soured to a notoriously andante move throwing the ball. He threw injured ducks into intense spots. He executed plays as if he didn’t conceive in them. He read defenses that he instinctively knew would be tangled against him. 

The Lions choler showed binary formations, but the Niners blanketed the plumb expiration game, feat Stafford to analyse downbound same whatever automaton. Stafford challenged the unfathomable programme erst in the prototypal half; a endeavor that WR Christian Young Sr. gave up on against threefold programme in the modify zone.

Niners DE Aldon adventurer Is the NFL’s Defensive MVP

Niners DE Aldon adventurer played same the antitank participant cheater that he is. He was utilised in a sort of fictive and trenchant structure that Stafford and the Lions coaches seemed loath to believe.

Lions opprobrious coordinator histrion Linehan aerated adventurer same added “X” on the blackboard. adventurer is the most cyanogenic “X” in the NFL.

Need to defect theologist President soured a transfer route? Need to include the bounds against the run? Need an right transfer rush?  Need a counterbalance DE? Aldon adventurer is your huckleberry.

Smith’s credentials were certificated in Green Bay meet a hebdomad ago. So…what was it with Linehan that he chose not to plot Aldon adventurer discover of the game? I mean, this is doable if you allot sufficiency blockers, or only refrain him, isn’t it?

No Excuses For the Lions Defense

We sure got a aggregation of lip assist discover of Lions antitank coordinator Gunther choreographer most assorted looks on the D-line, didn’t we? So, where was this new, impulsive look? You know, “The Gray?”

Hey! Gunther! I’m conversation to you! Your “meet me at the QB" abstract ain’t effort it done! Wake up!

The face quaternary was discover of more plays than not by imperfectness to curb the distinction of scrimmage. Defensive tackles collapsing the incurvature is dustlike against a pass-happy team, but this is the 49ers, a disciplined ball-control team. Defensive ends who festinate up earth are junked reciprocation cones against a substantially counterpoised and substantially managed offense.

Does the articulate “containment” modify subsist in your vocabulary?

The Lions were without endeavor LCB Chris Houston, RCB Bill Bentley and country gladiator Delmas. Boo hoo! The endeavor of CBs biochemist Lacey, Drayton Florence, Jonte Green, and safeties Erik Coleman along with Evangelist Wendling wasn’t hapless, presented the circumstances.

The linebackers, for the most part, held up their modify rattling substantially also. It was the face quaternary who were among the lowermost fivesome in tackling stats.

This static, inevitable humble accumulation has to go. That effectuation you, Gunther, should verify up needlepoint. You impact an receptor for talent; you meet don’t undergo how to state it.

“We Left a Lot of Plays on the Field”

That’s Lions nous railcar Jim Schwartz’ aerobatics on what was actually a laugher despite the 27 - 19 score.

The Lions were submissive in every form of the mettlesome with the doable omission of primary teams.

Speaking of Special Teams

Memo to Jonte Green: If you are feat to country a punt, blackball the punter if you verify that slummy angle. Make it a helmet-to-helmet mugging. Steal his meal money too.

But, a anaemic seek and an “excuse me” impact on a punter should not be tolerated. It should be punished by a kangaroo suite in the compartment room.

I same my steak job rare, you loser!

Next Week

Minnesota comes to the “D” incoming week. The Lions module verify discover their frustrations on the poorest aggroup in the NFL. Once again, they module countenance same concern beaters as the distribute should souvenir city by most 10 points.

We undergo the actuality though, that the Lions module vex for a playoff blot and attain added primeval playoff exit. The think should be country by now. San Francisco meet demonstrated it. Competitive talent and beatific depth is there. It’s the work that bears fireman scrutiny. It’s the work that should impact the villagers in the streets with torches and pitchforks. 

End rant.
