Allgemeines » Which non-49ers game are you looking forward to in Week 5?

Welcome to Week 5 of the NFL season. After that strange game between the Indianapolis Colts and New England PatriotsThe San Francisco 49ers get going in the afternoon at 1:25 P.M. in a home game against the Arizona Cardinals. The afternoon time gives us a slew of A.M. games to consider and there’s a few that should look good. The Green Bay Packers take on the Detroit Lions in a divisional matchup. While divisional games are hard to read for future opponents Customized San Francisco 49ers Jerseys , I’m curious how the LIons hold up against the Packers, considering the 49ers are heading to Wisconsin next week for Monday Night Football and that they beat the Lions. I’m also curious about the Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs pulled out a win with some Patrick Mahomes magic (and no, I’m not calling him that lame nickname ESPN was shoving down our throats Monday) but he also began to show some chinks in the armor. We’ll see what the Jaguars can build on with that defense of theirs. The only game in the afternoon I’m sad to miss is the Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks. If there can just be an actual warzone, I’d be plenty thankful. I wouldn’t mind seeing the Seahawks pull of a win against the Rams, but at the same time, whenever Seattle loses in Seattle, it’s time for celebration since I live in Seattle and am surrounded by the 1-2 man.What do you want to watch?

The Lions looked like they were going to thump New York early running back a pick six on Sam Darnold’s first pass attempt of the game, but things changed in a hurry.After the game, Jets defensive players had a rather shocking revelation. They knew what was coming based on Stafford’s hand signals.The Lions hired a new head coach this offseason in Matt Patricia, but he chose to retain offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. That would explain similar hand signals, but it does not explain why the Lions offense looked out of rhythm as they did.It was a rough night for Detroit, with a poor performance coupled with numerous injuries. Matthew Stafford appeared to injure his knee early, but finished out a drive. He later left with a rib injury and was replaced by Matt Cassel. Stafford returned later before being benched in the fourth quarter. Just as important, Darius Slay (head) and edge rusher Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) both left with injuries, and their statuses for Week 2 is unknown.The San Francisco 49ers host the Lions next Sunday, and Detroit is in a tough spot. They are going on the road after a short week dealing with a host of injuries after an embarrassing season opener. The 49ers are a field goal favorite, coming off their own eight point loss to the Vikings. I don’t think recency bias will have a big impact on the betting numbers San Francisco 49ers T-Shirt , but it will be interesting to see if and how the line moves the next few days.Head coach Kyle Shanahan met with the media right around kickoff of the Lions game, and was asked if he would watch the broadcast. He said he prefers to wait until he has full tape so he can watch coverages and other things, while also being able to fast forward and rewind the tape. Here’s what he had to say as the 49ers begin preparations for the Lions.Will you watch the game tonight for the audio of calls or how do you approach it when the team you’re playing is on Monday Night Football?“I wait until it’s on tape that I can see everything. I don’t know how people get opinions off of watching it on TV because you see the quarterback, you see where the ball goes, you have no idea what the front’s coverages are. It’s just, I think it’s very hard to see unless you can have a fast forward and rewind remote, you can see the sideline copy, the end zone copy. So, I’m not going to waste too much time watching it until we get it into our computers.”Is there anything you can pick up from the audio?“Yeah, you can. We have other guys who do that type of stuff. I know a lot of coaches and organizations, they have someone sitting there listening to every call the center makes, all that stuff, stuff you can give D-Linemen, snap counts, things like that. It gets harder the more people are mic’d up, but also it’s fun for people to think the words you’re going to use and then change them the next week also and get people to jump offsides. So, there’s always that cat and mouse game, how much you want to commit to that stuff. You commit a lot to that stuff and it doesn’t work out the way you planned then you’re going to be in trouble. So, you take a little and then you ignore it sometimes, too.”
