Game Thread: Game 2 vs Chargers

[Mebert]

4th quarter comeback/heroics

Hahaha... Only one in the office and had to take a call, missed the INT. Who got it?

Slay

Calling it now. LA musters an 8-minute drive, shanks the game-tying FG.

My bet is on... Rivers trying to hook Slay up with an INT

Slay

Hahaha... lucky guess

Well that was fun.


Let's do this again. Same time next week?

 

[Old Lion]

Tbh Kerryon Johnson is mediocre

Ummm.... 5 and a half yards per carry last year. Looked good today too.

 

[Old Lion]

Lots to work on but 2 weeks in and the Lions are still undefeated. ST should start running laps right now. Agnew should be cut. Rest of the guys played hard and didnt give up. Hopefully things get cleaned up starting next week.

Special props to Crosby who looked much better then he did in pre season. Boza didnt dominate him that is for sure.

Hopefully he plays in double digit games again.

That'd be cool.

 

[Mebert]

Agnew cut yet?

 

[Old Lion]

Agnew cut yet?

Bring back Brandon Powell.

He had a mediocre day running the ball IMO. Though the line does suck. Team needs a LT bad

I wouldn't say the line sucks. Just extremely mediocre. Decker was out today anyways. It's also a new offense. Let's see where they stand, 8 games in.

Maybe not fully dominate but I seen Bosa quite a bit in this game. He was definitely making his presence felt.

Where is the Super Bowl this year? Want to book my flight now to watch the Lions.

 

[Thruthefog]

I see our Lions are still undefeated.

The Lions can't play their 4th quarter heroics bull next week against the Iggles. If they do we better have the Refs on our side. Or the Lions will driving on four flat tires if they don't.

Why not? Falcons did.

 

[Mebert]

Positives so far:
Tavai looks like a good pick
Walker has been awesome
Ty Johnson looks like a steal

Negatives so far:
100% of all the special teams
If we replaced Flowers with Ansah would the result be different? I say this knowing Ansah has not played yet.
The rest of the over-priced dline

 

[LionsWhyMe]

Why not? Falcons did.

The Lions aren't Atlanta. The Lions 4th quarter heroics is letting the other team having the lead for Stafford to do his come back win attempt. Yeah, one of two things happen... they shoot themselves in the foot or win. The Iggles is one of those teams the Lions should avoid playing Russian Roulette with.

Two games into our renewed focus on running the ball with an offensive coordinator who knows how to "call a run game" (whatever the F that means)....... and two games of under 100 yds rushing in designed runs.

Good thing getting rid of Cooter and bringing in 4 new tight ends was all the offense needed.
