Game thread: Lions vs. Buccaneers

I don't understand that last playcall? If we're going to go for it then throw it.

 

[Wazmankg]

Why give em the ball there ? whatever I guess.

 

[phantomfoul88]

Geesh, atleast play some defense

 

[gandydancer]

I am guessing that was a pretty obvious non call? WTF

 

[Wazmankg]

Did bush just go out of bounds?

I don't think so. Clock stoppage on change of possession ?

Change of possession stops the clock anyway

Definitely Slay's worst game of the season. He looked kind of lazy out there today and got penalties or got beat because he was trying to catch back up to the WR.

Should help bring him down to Earth for the last few games, hopefully. He's been very good so far this year, just needs to keep games like this one few and far between, imo...

 

[tpaulus_2]

Much better coverage on that one, lol.

I didn't understand it either, but why chance a pick ? I think they should have just punted

I'm sorry, Caldwell is an idiot.

9-4 record...

I've seen the Lions with 9-win seasons only twice in my lifetime. Never with 10.

Thanks to all for straightening me out. I wasn't looking for a moment and didnt realize that was 4th down. As TPaul just said "what was Caldwell thinking since they didnt throw for a first down?"

You just born recently? 2011 say.

How about a shout-out to Andre Fluellen? He's on like his 19th stint with us and had a sack last week and added a fumble recovery and a game-ending sack this week.

He's doing a lot with a little and may just carve out a role for himself as a versatile reserve D-lineman...

Most kneel down W's in a season that I can remember (going back to the early 90's)

I would have punted.

You must be pretty young.

Another fine game by Matthew. Nice to see. He still isn't getting a hell of a lot of time, though.

 

[tpaulus_2]

Lions 34, Bucs 16. Write that down.

Almost had it!

Definitely IIRC. It's a very unusual sight.
