Classic game tale of two halves. First half viewing portended a second half lopsided ending. Not to be however. Lion’s inability to ‘slam the door shut’ allowed Bears to claw their way back crowned with a comical but heart wrenching farce of game clock management. Lion’s lack of Bear’s quarterback containment coupled with an asinine, […]

Not a classical battle. Key stats demonstrated balanced offensive attack via first down achievements. Ultimately played into time of possession advantage. Colts made callous errors when most beneficial to the Lions. Dropped passes, holding calls and other errors were timely and costly for the Colts. J. Goff had a good day but not stylish by […]

After the first five minutes this ‘game’ trans-mutated into a no holds blowout. Three Lion’s game stats define the overall finality: 645 yards of offense, 38 first downs and almost 2 to 1 time of possession. Every one joined in the melee. J. Gibbs and D. Montgomery slashed, dashed and burned their way generating about […]

J. Goff’s nightmares came to fruition. Lion’s defensive efforts kept the game from being be a ‘blowout’ by holding Texans scoreless the second half. Houston’s J. Mixon was held to 46 yards rushing. In an antithesis to ‘smash mouth’ football, this game’s outcome was left to the field goal kickers. However, the winning field goal […]

Classic ole time brutal weather football game not fit for man or beast. Nothing fancy but Lion’s brutal running and controlled passing. For a team regaled for executing under brutal weather conditions, Green Bay failed the test across the board: dropped passes, bad snaps from center, sorry run game and an ill advised desperation pass. […]

Usually, game stats correlate extremely high with the game outcome. This game was an extreme outlier. Titans dominated in almost every category except for the dreaded ‘turnovers’. Lions cashed every opportunity check gifted to them. Initially, the game’s opening portended a classical ‘slug fest’ validating pregame hype. Then the ancient axiom of “on any given […]

Stats reflected games’ final score. Lion’s inspired tenacity won the day. Singular turnovers on either side appeared destined to decide the games’ outcome. No doubt this game could be the ‘hallmark’ of more performance consistency by the Lions for seasons’ duration. Goff maintained disciplined control avoiding ill advised ‘passes. Rushing was balanced between slashing speed […]

Professional football is between inordinately skilled, physical human specimens at the ‘edge’ of capabilities. Physical injuries will happen, even as gruesome as suffered by A. Hutchinson. We all hope for the best recovery possible in his own best interest. In summery, Dallas Cowboys got run over by Lion’s rushing game and stymied by Lion’s defense […]

Game stats would tell you the final score was an inversion of reality. Almost every stat favored the Seahawks., except for one. You guessed it. Stupid penalties chipped in an additional 30 yards on top of the other 516 yards by Seahawds just for the ‘hell’ of it. Deep pass defense needs remedial education on […]

The first half of the game made the Lion’s offense look like a well oiled machine. Not so much after that. Lion’s defense aroused in second half to put the game away. Looking at the stats, especially time of possession, Goff’s pass completions and offensive blocking was text book game ‘blow out’ predictor. Then game’s […]
