turtle28 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/nov/10/adrian-peterson-facing-washington-they-will-get-re/ Adrian Peterson says, âThey will regret what they let go.â What: A horrible Football Team vs the Lowly  Lions Where: The Big Car Dealersip where we never win Why: Because they like to torture us How: I donât know but Iâm sure theyâll s*natch defeat from the jaws of victory once again! Washington has its 3rd starting QB of the season and itâs the remarkable Alex Smith. Alex Smithâs recovery from a catastrophic broken leg and the infection that almost killed him is remarkable. The man is missing most of his muscle in the bottom part of his leg and some muscle above the knee as well. He also of course now has a titanium rod in his lower leg. Itâs just remarkable heâs made it back and heâs an inspiration to so many - especially Veterans - for what heâs accomplished.  As everyone knows, Alex came in for the injured Kyle Allen at the end of the 1st quarter vs the Giants after Allen dislocated his ankle and fractured his leg in about the same spot on the field that both Alex Smith and Joe Theisman had their broken legs. It was a gruesome injury which had Jabril Peppers - who rolled into him and cause the injury - to look shocked and to be moving backwards away from Kyle as he stared at Kyleâs foot facing the wrong direction and his lower leg broken in front of him. After that injury Alex Smith looked like his usual self for the rest of the first half. He was dumping the ball off a lot, in most peopleâs opinions not seeing the whole field and like vs the Rams a month ago, Alex didnât look comfortable in the pocket. In the second half though Alex did progress as he threw for most of his 325 yards in the second half and a TD as he brought Washington screaming back to get within 3 points of the Giants. Sadly it was not to be as Alex threw 3 interceptions. The first int was not his fault as McKissic fell down while Alex threw a pass to him in the red zone. The next one was the worst decision Iâve seen Alex make in a Washington uniform and indefensible as he threw across his body back towards the middle of the field and airmailed it over McKissicâs head and the last interception which sealed the game and Washingtonâs loss was not as poor of a decision but Alex was fooled on the play by Logan Ryan who acted like he wasnât watching Alex but actually was and then he undercut Terry McLaurin. All in all, the passing game with Alex looked better than it has all year. Now whether that was just bc the Giants pass D isnât very good or bc Alex & his receivers found a rhythm in the second half that will carry forward the second half of the year remains to be seen. The 5 turnovers - two fumbles Gibson & Wright giving the Giants the ball in the red zone - and Alexâs 3 ints are the main reason we lost the game, but also our offense only ran the ball 9 Times - which is unacceptable - and our run D played poorly as we gave up 166 yards rushing and a TD. Whatâs most disconcerting is that every time Alex Morris plays us, he seems to go off. He rushed for 67 yards on just 9 carries a 7.4 yard average. As I always say, you donât want your safeties to be your leading tacklers and when they are it means your defensive front 7 didnât do itâs job. Our SS Kamren Curl had 11 tackles and our FS Everrett had 7 tackles of his own and generally when that happens your run D in the front 7 was poor. I mean KPL only had 2 freaking tackles as a WLB, thatâs awful! Downright awful! The Lions arenât much better than Washington - just one more win - but they have a better offense than us by far with a good running game with Adrian Peterson, DâAndre Swift and Kerreyon Johnson. They also have something that we donât and that is a franchise QB and an good passing game when their #1 WR Kenny Golladay plays but heâs struggling with a hip injury. Outside of him though they have multiple weapons at the other WR positions, at RB &  at TE positions including Marvin Jones, Danny Amendola, DâAndre Swift, TJ Hockenson and Jesse James. The Lions D though is not very good - 28th is scoring defense - so this may be a shoot out if our defensive line canât get pressure on Stafford and if our pass D doesnât hold up against their weapons. Beyond that, we always lose in Detroit, heck we almost lost to them when they went 0-16 in 2008 so, I donât expect a win here.

PARROTHEAD Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Alex with a full week of starter reps. Some of the rust looked to be falling off last week. The defense puts in work then good things can happen. And since whenever I pick us to win we lose. Ill go..... Lions 63 - WFT 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavar703 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I suspect Stafford will have a good game and AP will get his first 100-yard game of the season. I donât see Alex getting comfortable like he did last week but I think weâll move the ball some. Terry does what he does and Sims has another good game.  Lions 23 Redskins 17 Sims and McLaurin score both TDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabrill Peppers was being blocked and going to the ground when he whipped his leg out and kicked Kyle Allen's leg. It was an obvious intentional trip/leg whip that hurt a player. The fact that there was no fine/suspension is appalling and indicates the NFL only cares about head injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
