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 […]

Casual review of games’ stats might indicate a classic back and forth dual of evenly matched teams. However, Lions fell behind and never recovered. J. Goff was bewildered by Packer’s rush. Lion’s rushing game on paper was not reality. Up the middle with futility was order of the day. Defensively, J. Love’s 4 passing TDs […]

J. Gibbs saved the day in spite of Lion’s wofull efforts. Defense managed to surrender over 360 yards of passing offense by a ‘broken’ Giants team. Other than J. Gibb’s day romp, Lion’s offense took another day off. Minus Gibb’s contribution, offeensvely Lions managed 275 yards against a fractured Giant’s defense. In total, a suspect […]

Defense ‘showed up’, offense took the day off. Considering Eagle’s almost 50% time of possesion advantage, Lion’s defense held. J. Hurts was mostly contained and S. Barkley’s damage controled. However, Lion’s offensive unit failed to deliver. J. Goff appeared intemidated, threw to many passes ‘slightly off’ and pass receiver’s routes were to short/long combined with […]

No matter what game stats depict, Viking’s dominated and dictated the games’ ‘vibe’. Every time a penalty could enhance Viking’s success, Lions complied. Offensive Lion’s blocking consistently failed execution on setting up the run, pass protection or blitz prevention. G. Goff suffered accordingly. Viking’s defense keyed on J. Gibbs and eliminated any threat he may […]

Quick peek at game stats do not tell the real story. This was not not one of J. Goff’s better games. Not bad but ordinary. Receivers missed a few catches but not devastating to the final score. Credit due to Buc’s secondary. Lion’s offensive line held long enough and opened running lanes at opportune moments. […]

Overall game’s stats are not despicable. Noticeable differences exist in total yards and penalties. Execution differences between first and second half were drastic. Chiefs adjusted and Lions did not. P. Mahome’s mobility tilted the games tenure. Kansas City receivers held onto passes they dropped in the first half. Chief’s linebackers seemed to have free range […]

OK, we’ve had another demonstrative game with exceptional execution by unique team elements producing a win. J. Goff pass execution, defensive turnovers and unique play calling carried the day. In retrospect this game should have been a total blowout. Failure to execute the “kill shot” sealing game’s outcome, Lion’s faltered and allowed Bengals to attempt […]
