[Janus]

need a stop, well they got that, seems like they have more pressure this set of downs

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Washington OC needs to shield his face when calling plays while on camera......lots of lip readers out there for Motown.

Just sayin.

 

[Tainthappening]

Lions defense got stop they needed to start 2nd half.

 

[Think McFly Think]

Lions get a much needed stop and force a punt

Yes and they should still take their time and try some Gibbs

 

[Schmoopy1000]

well the Dan Campbell inspiration lasted at least one drive so far!

Why? Your offense has scored plenty. Your defense couldn't stop a common cold wearing a level A Hazmat suit.. and you got Jared Goof doing Goof things.. what the fuck do you want Ben Johnson to do at this point? It's not like you guys had 4 minutes to end the half.. you had barely anytime and Goofball threw a dart to the opposing team when he was already in FG range.

Kinda tough to play defense from Injured Reserve.



Only dreamers believed in a playoff run.

Waz hit the nail on the head when Ben decided to go with an empty backfield on 3rd and 1 which resulted in Goff's 1st turnover. If you want to pass, fine. But you don't give your hand away with an empty backfield against one of the worst run defenses.

You spelled pragmatist incorrectly.

Lions driving here, big 3rd down conversion from Goff to St Brown

I like that they kept with the run for a few plays first

 

[gohuskresurrected]

Please do not suggest Goff closing his eyes and throwing the ball. He might hear you.

St Brown runs it down inside the 10

 

[belcherboy]

This drive is pretty essential! No TO here!

 

[Orangeisback]

Truth with the injury stat, they're really hurtin but they did win 15 games with this makeshift defense, they need to believe they can win, they need to do basic tackling, just stay basic, the offense is a different story.

Regular season and playoffs TWO distinctly different.

More often than not, one of the lucky or unlucky things of sports (especially football) the issue is a healthy roster.

No matter the hype and how many of use love the Lions story and kneecaps....

Truth is harsh. Plus, they don't have anyone on their team dating a multi billion dollar international superstar who brings in rivers of money from sources that otherwise would not be coming in from overseas.....

So therefore no annoying pathetic help from refs.

Great RAC by Gibbs there

 

[cwalke3408]

???

 

[msgkings322]

That was a cool play

 

[gohuskresurrected]

Wow. And if that didn't work it would have been an incomplete pass.
