This Bronco’s game demonstrated how to hamper the effects of a mobile QB. Let’s hope the Lions remember the tactics for the next three games, especially with Dallas’s D. Prescott Not a lot of ‘flash or dash’ in this game. Only basic execution demonstrated by solid offensive blocking, crisp pass routes, defensive swarming and with […]

Sundays Bear’s game should remove all doubt that this season is kaput. A cursory analysis of the remaining NFL North games can construct a scenario where the Lions assist the Vikings to a ‘backdoor’ entrance into the top of the NFL North winners status. Lions go 1-3 and the Vikings for 3-1. Complexion of play […]

One pertinent key indicator of a championship team is consistent performance. Four quarters of play executed with minimal errors and an absence of charity awarded to opponents is a winner’s standard. Sunday’s display was an antithesis by definition. How do you produce a ‘cliffhanger’ from what should be a ‘no mas’ ending? Play like the […]

In this case the game stats are deceiving. However, this game was ‘over’ at first half’s ending. Two unassailable facts were evident. Number one is that J. Love was so unmolested in pass attempts, Stevie Wonder could have found an open receiver. Secondly, Packers defense spent as much time in the Lion’s backfield as D. […]

Lion’s fans were treated to a genuine flashback of a ‘come from behind win by J. Goff. Bears had this game won except for the remaining 4:15 of playing time. Taking points via a field goal was the ‘safe bet’. Bears had a running game and Lion’s offence was sputtering. Hats off to Detroit’s defense […]

Delusions of grandeur were brought into clear focus at game’s end. It’s not easy for two teams to generate almost 1,000 yards of offence. Entertaining yes but not suitable for seasonal success. One can expect every team for the rest of the schedule to replicate the same passing attack as the Chargers implemented. On the […]

This turned into a fan favourite game. Start the game getting field goals instead of touchdowns, inexplicable interception pass and jammed up the middle runs. On the other side of play, Lion’s defence had a very good day. Raiders could not score if the Lion’s had the ball almost twice as long. Aside the pick […]

After about 5 minutes into the game, an ending was clear and inevitable. The Lions could not contain a running QB and Raven’s defence overwhelmed Lion’s offensive line. Coupled without any appreciable running game Goff suffered an interminable afternoon. Allowing the opponents over 500 yards of offence and time of possession will take its toll. […]

No denying this game against Tampa’s bucs was J. Goff’s best performance as a Lion’s QB. He compensated for the loss of the Lion’s run game in superlative fashion. Passes were spread across receivers and throws were eloquently threaded between defenders. Receivers adjusted to variations in pass trajectory and maintained control for completions. Textbook execution. […]

Classic way of ‘getting it done’. Stat’s differential are similar until you get to the ‘rushing’ and ‘turnover’ column. Built upon the back of Montgomery’s running, Goff distributed the passing game all around. He refrained from desperation tosses and took some classic hits from Panther’s defence. Good sign of toughness and game ‘smarts’. Lion’s offensive […]
