The better question is why is Zach not finding anyone downfield even when he has 5-8s??  There is literally no one open and no help arriving.

Those late hits on Zach are coverage sacks.

Are they all sleeping?

Someone needs to step up.

I don?t complain about the refs often, but so far I?m not impressed. Regardless what command centre says, our QB was down or GOING down and he got rolled over. That?s RTP virtually every time. That and the missed Lawler catch? Yeah. Not impressed at all.

Lawler call yes.  I don't agree that was roughing the passer.  Refs make mistakes both ways.

Now the tables are turned because what our plan should have been against EDM (stop the run) is now all that EDM has to do (stop the run).  Brown is as green as Ford.  Worse, because he can't run.

It'll take a miracle now boys.

The good thing is no one loses ground in pickems because everyone picked WPG.

Our sideline morale is already looking like garbage.  Need the leaders to step up or not only will we lose, we'll lose big.

Brown is playing for a top 3 team.  Ford is playing for the worse.  In a hole but we have a chance.  Just need to get momentum back soon, otherwise it will be very difficult.

Where are the downfield plays?  EDM DBs are not good.  This doesn't make any sense.

Nice camera work on that sack, TSN

were being out played outcoached and out special teamed

There's Biggie showing you what he's there for.  Massive stuff

Elks got a good initial scheme to take away what we showed against BC.  We will adjust.  Hats off to the Elks. They are ready and have right schemes.  We forgot to start and had wrong game plan.

Yup, a smaller faster guy would have got trucked.

Back to back for Biggie.  D held.  Ding ding.

Key to the game, run the rock.

[TecnoGenius]

Haha, EDM knows how to stop a can't-throw QB.  They know we'll hesitate to throw.

Hahah, that's all we had to do to win this game and instead they are doing it to us.

Watch EDM stuff the box on every 1st and stop Brady for 1-3.

Need to throw on first.  Need to confuse EDM.  Must get back some TOP or our D is done

You got all the answers.  Yes Edm are God.  And they have Jesus playing lol.

Brown can throw.  Heavily overstated on negative.

Nope, the only way to win is through the air.  Zach being out means they know our pass attack is down to 25% strength.

Woli looks concussed.  They won't let him play.  BOO time.  That hit looked a bit dirty.

Nah run pass mix.

It's not rocket science.  Play 1 we are loose to the box, no run stop D, Biggie told to take the wrong hole, no help in the middle, bite on all clearing routes, and we lose the game on play 1... When all we had to do was stuff the box, stuff the line, and stop the run.

If EDM was God I could accept this.  They are garbage as a team (good on paper) and Hall failed to do his job.

If we don't start forcing Ford to throw and throw only, I'm going to be even more vocal.  Stuff the box and assign a spy.

[pjrocksmb]

Here we go.  Great mix on O.
