  • The offense might be sputtering for awhile. I think they are missing at least one piece and if you look at the league, offense is slightly down. Everything in the NFL is cyclical and it looks like they are going to have to find different avenues to score.

    • I won't say that defenses have "figured out" Ben Johnson and his offensive strategy. What I think has happened is that they've learned some of his tendencies, and are actively taking them away in ways they haven't done before.

      An example I keep noticing is that short drop quick read to the middle of the field (LaPorta abused defenses to hell last year with it) that has been a bread-and-butter play in Johnson's scheme. Defenses are sitting on that play in situations where the Lions loved to run it. As a result, it's not as effective as it had been the past two years (and two of Goff's picks have been on this throw, where he's throwing to a spot, only to see far too late that a defender has anticipated it and beaten the receiver to the spot).

        We lost last week because we had the traditional/mixed unis, but also I made the gameweek thread and I didn't wanna take any chances. Every time I make gameweek or gameday, we lose.

        1-0 as blueberries and 1-0 as whiteberries this year, last year felt like all our losses (aside from the CC) were in mixed unis also.

          Love the Blueberries and the Marshmallows

          Don't make another game week thread, dammit
          I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

            Ah yes, marshmallows. Why did I say whiteberries? And yeah I'm done making threads until we win the Super Bowl and I'm sure it will be bananas in here.
