Your graphics sucked! You couldn't even line up the numeric data. Would've been much better with numerics displayed on the bar graphics!
The Lions made virtually every mistake known to man kind, this was a very frustrating game for me to watch. Oakland handed us the game in a less flashy fashion than Romo and the Cow Girls did a few weeks back. I place some blame on the Schwartz for leaving in Cris Houston, AKA, forgot how to tackle.. He certainly was not game ready coming off an injury and it was quite clear he should have been benched way before the end of the second quarter. His play alone was the direct result of 14 easy points that could have been saved. Unfortunately, this was not the biggest problem. What irked me the most about this game was the lousy performance by our strength and identity, The Silver Crush... For the last three weeks our bread and butter may have played better blindfolded. While the undisciplined front four constantly disregarded their gap responsibilities, the ends constantly sold out refusing to hold their edge responsibility. I understand getting to the QB is important in this leauge but a D line with this much talent, strength, and speed should have no problem playing the run on the way to the QB. Mr. Vandenbosh, how many more times are you going to get burned on the reverse?! Actually anything that goes wide left on the ground is typically a 10+ yard gain. Cmon Man!! Your a leader and mentor on this young team!! Do your job, Keep your edge sealed and mind you Ps and Qs. I think Smith is ready to step back in the starting cornerback roll and our linebacking corps needs to start using Carpenter more as a cover guy on passing downs. Tulloch and Durrant need to start flying to the ball carrier, plugging their gaps like they were earlier in the season. I know we have numerous key contributors out with injuries, (its definitely showing) and I am happy with the young talent stepping in and filling holes. My concern and disapproval does not lie with them. Its our constant efforts to get cheap results (sacks) directly from playing your positions the wrong way. (Disregarding your gap responsibility and not staying home/sealing on the ends.) I cant believe we pulled another miracle off and I have Stafford and Big Play C.J. to thank for that. All in all, we have a good team that needs to stop this undisciplined playing style. The only good opinion that I can present from this ugly victory is we have so much room for improvement on a already ridiculously talented team. We may get our first playoff birth in 12 years as early as next week, but our attainable goals going forward will soon be much more. Watch out NFL, the Detroit Lions Dynasty is well on its way!! (They Just need to grow up first.)
That was once again a heart stopping performance. I know the penalties and poor 1st showings are hurting the Lions, BUT somehow they getting it done. I think maybe on Saturday we will see the full 60 minute performance and then a celebration for the ages in Detroit. Goooo Lions!!!
How about the Penalty's? The Lions have to stop making foolish penalty's or the playoffs will end quickly
Just once I wish,(and Lions better to) they would play a whole 60 min. in one game!! The last two wins were terribly ugly although they were W's... Can't make a living long on those kind of wins... Too many come from behind victories this year.. If they make the playoffs, I'tl be short lived if they don't stop the stupid penalties and start to play serious on every down instead of just flashes of brilliance..Congrats on a good season so far, get it together and lets go lions!!
The thing that jumps out at me is STUPID penalties and they still managed to pull out a win.
If the Lions ever play up to their potential they can go deep into the playoff's but they really
need to get back to playing disciplined football.
Everyone forgets, if it wasn't for Stafford being such a great QB as well, Calvin Johnson wouldn't be making those spectacular catches. Give credit when it's due. Stafford could have easily folded under all of that pressure. However, great job to the both of them. Great Athletes!
