Bolts vs. Lions Ugly Analysis Week 2

[Topcat]

Ekkie's TD run negated by Tevi's "block to the back"...another ticky-tack call...yes, this was at the end of the block, very slight contact, not like Tevi laid into him...sigh...

He has 2 hands on his back - hard to argue this call.

The Ekkie goal line fumble. Total game-breaker. Yes, the leap for the TD worked once, but it's a risky play, because a defender can reach in and punch the rock loose, which is what happened here:

Rayshawn, nice pick. Yay.

i thought the game plan was great today. the O moved all over the lions' D. they just couldnt execute at the most inopportune times. We left AT LEAST 13 points off the board today. this shoulda been an easy win with the way we were moving offensively. INT was bad towards the end as it looked like the WR (MW?) down the seam was wide open for the EZ TD. but game plan was NOT bad today. I think Matt Money or DJ were saying the Whiz looked like he figured out patricia's D in the 2nd half. Points just didnt show up on the board.

Wow, three whiffs for the price of one. Phillips and Davis, between this and last week, are officially inducted into the Jaleel Addae Launchwhiffy Hall of Shame...

TD pass to Golladay. Hayward actually had pretty good position here, just a great throw by Stafford and great catch.

And finally, it wouldn't be an ugly Bolt loss without...ahem...RIVERS SLINGING THE ROCK INTO COVERAGE FOR A PICK...wow, just, wow...I thought Rivers had overcome his "hero ball" issues...I guess not...oh, and meanwhile, Mike Will is open...if you're going to throw the rock up for grabs, Phil, at least sling it to someone like Williams who can actually high point it...

Nice analyses.

Truly a team effort today.

So reading this as it was Ekeler's choice on what to do. Protect the rock, or else.

I said it when Ek fumbled on the 1...we're letting them linger and this may come bite us in the ass. then as I went out for lunch Ty Long missed a FG and I thought it even more. then the 2nd missed FG I thought "shit we're gonna lose by 3 somehow". I never knew we wouldnt score again.

....and not to mention all the TDs called back for some ticky tacky shit. on the long TD run by Justin J the WIFE even said that was pretty weak call.
