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 […]

Reviewing the game stats you could conclude the Bucs were a great team or the Lions played ineptly. Marvinudy leans more to the latter. Lion’s aerial assault was genuine but futile. Thirty four completions out of fifty five attempts gets the games’ ending result. With a little less than 500 yards of offense and A. […]

Let’s start with a circumstantial view. This game should take the “bloom off the rose” from all the press falderal about the Detroit Lions waltzing into the Super Bowel. Stafford may be older but as the Terminator said, “not obsolete”. Even hindered by losing two of LA’s major weapons, they still produced over 300 yards […]

Setting aside pregame fervor coupled with post game depression, this game was almost a duplicate of a season’s earlier game where Lion’s functioned flawlessly and finished with a whimper. At first half’s end, initiate Super Bowl plans. Detroit ran all over San Fran on the ground and in the air. The other ‘guys’ can’t score […]

Incremental improvements continue to evolve. Game with Tampa Bay Bucs again not deigned as a defensive duel with almost 800 yards of total offense. Lions donated only 17 penalty yards, committed no fumble and threw zero interceptions. Lion’s defensive rush made QB sacks when they counted. Play calling had its moments, seemingly innovative or ‘bland’ […]

This playoff game with the LA Rams had it all. From the opening methodical Lion’s drive for a touch down to LA’s Staffords final drive for failed win salvation. Defense made the difference when it counted. In no way can you ascribe over a total 640 yards of passing offence as a defensive duel. Lion’s […]

For a moment set aside the last game with the Vikings and relish gains made this season. Even with external forces outside of anyone’s control, the Lions had a very good season. Yes, the division was less robust than historical norms but the Lions are undisputed NFC North champions. From here the road traveled becomes […]
