This will be a challenging game for the pass rush as well as the Bears linebackers. Raiders get rid of the ball really fast and throw a lot of underneath stuff.
Actually because I don't really know anything, what happens if someone gets killed on the football field? Has that ever happened?
Makes me wonder if Pagano will start pressing his corners and move up his backers to let the rush have a chance? If he continues to play off, the pass rush won't have a chance. Also makes me wonder how much patience we need to have. I don't see this score being all that high. (Unless the D scores a few TD's)
A couple of players have died from heat related issues, but I haven’t heard of anyone dying from getting hit on the field.
I’m assuming it would be based on the circumstances. Probably a flag and 15 yard penalty at a minimum.
Depends on circumstances like Bdub said. Could be nothing. Could be that. Could be an ejection. It just depends.
Actually the Bears did kill a Lions Player back in the early 70's I believe I forget his name. https://www.vintagedetroit.com/blog...only-death-to-occur-on-an-nfl-football-field/
Actually, it was a wide receiver by the name of Chuck Hughes. He had a fatal heart attack during the final minutes of the game.
Yeah, I read that and corrected myself. It's been a long time. I remember it was Butkus that was motioning to the Lions sideline to get the medical team out there.
Darren Waller, the TE for anybody else who caught any 'Hard Knocks' this year is going to be a problem. I don't like Clinton Dicks let alone a linebacker 1 on 1 He's Carr's favorite target. Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow, and the other WR are all quick slot guys. I'm also thrilled Burfict is suspended. Fuck that guy. Some LB I've never heard of cut by the rams after being drafted in the 7th round in May gets the start at Mike. Chase Daniel gets a big break there, and hopefully so does the run game.
This is where Pagano has to make the offense change their game plan by letting our defense dictate what we want them to do. If they're throwing a lot of underneath shit. Play a lot of press man, move the safeties up, and dare them to throw/run longer patterns. If a route takes a half second to a second more to develop, that may be all our D needs to decapitate Carr. One other thing, to note, is I know A LOT of Bears fans heading to London this week. And Raiders fans don't travel well anyway. Even though this is technically a Raiders home, game, I am willing to bet we out-number them 3 to 1. We're going to have the home-field crowd advantage.
Well lets just hope plenty of Bears fans got tickets. Of course, if the twatwaffles in league office cared about that the damn game would be at Wembley with its 90k capacity, not Spurs Stadium with 60k. This game could've sold out 2x over, meanwhile the Bungals v Rams game at Wembley still has tickets. Fucking morons. As for the Raiders, they actually have a good UK following. Not top3-5 like the Bears, but if we outnumber them 2-1 id be thrilled.
