Hope, prayers and best outcomes are expressed for J. Campbell. By it’s own nature, football is inherently dangerous. Violent interaction by physically fit men in quasi combat situations do not negate statistical probability of serious injuries. Game stats substaniate Lion’s run game wore down Viking’s defense. Time of possesion and combination of J. Gibbs and […]

After years of watching Lion’s football, you know rolling the dice sometimes results in ‘skake eyes’. Reviewing overall stats difine need for ongoing fixes. Start with 3rd down conversions, spastic time of possesion, turnovers and ‘red zone’ conversions. Did refs make a difference? Easy to think the pass receiver got pushed out of bounds preventing […]

J. Goff and company again proved they can score points and acculmuate offensive yardage. However, Arizona Cardinals are not NFL defensive powershouses. On the flip side, even discounting Cardinal’s late game possesions and yardage, Lion’s overall defense gave up significant yardage. Time of possesion was almost even. Positive takeaways include minimumn ‘dumb penalties’, solid pass […]

Final score of the Panther’s game distorted actual Lion’s inept overall performance. Debacle was ordained on opening Lion’s drive stagnatecd into a field goal. After exchange of punts, Panthers scored and never looked back. Yes, J. Goff threw for big yardage but not when it counted. Dropped passes, short routes and discombulated pass execution easily […]

OK, score points but allow points. Trite to say but not a winning seasons’ strategy. Jet’s sub-standard running game was contained but to what end? Lion’s pass defense failed to contain Jet’s passing game. Injuries impact pass coverage but without offsetting rush passing, Lions gave up more pass yardage than they acheived (321vs 269). J. […]

Missed opening season’s game due to travel but watched entire second game againts Buffalo. Single infliction of misery suficied. First game looked familiar. Off to commanding lead and then almost allow heroic comback by New Orlen’s Saints. Stingy Lion’s defense only allowed Saints over 400 yds of offense. Now in second game against Bills, Lions […]

Game stats demonstrated Lion’s inability to ‘close out’ a game without drama at games’ end. Four field goals and a single touchdown. Big edge on time of possesion, blow out on first downs and edge on total yardage. Bear’s pass defense allowed J. Goff to focus on A. St. Brown and J. Williams for almost […]

Two similar games that did not justify singular posts. Spector of ‘doom’ started with a ‘safety’ by Steelers in third quarter. Most daming stat was flashed on TV screen showing time of possesion in third quarter favoring Pittsburg almost 13 minuts vs Detroit with 53 seconds. Setting aside games’ ending theartics, Steelers and A. Rodgers […]

No denying this game was entertaining,. Over 900 yards of combined offense. Once the Lions fell behind, games’ ending was evident. Ram’s running game was brutal. Lion’s, not so much. Ram’s offensive attack was balanced with no offset by Lions. M. Stafford exploited the Lion’s pass coverage almost at will. However, J. Goff demonstrated that […]

Based on game stats, excepting two parameters, Cowboys won this game. As often, the ‘devil’ is in the details. Dallas turnovers and Lion’s Red Zone effeciency resulted in the “W”. D. Prescott was mostly contained and not given adaquate time to work progressions. Lion’s defensive ‘rush’ was almost frenetic in nature. Classic example was close […]
