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. Montgomery.

Overall play calling hearkened back to the ‘good ole days’ of two up the middle, incomplete pass and punt. Setting aside proverbial 20/20 hindsight critique, the ‘fake punt’ call deep in your own territory was not warranted. Campbell’s retroactive acceptance for the blunder did not make it any less onerous.

Let’s us hope the ‘other’ Lion’s team makes timely appearances for the rest of the schedule or our 66th year of rebuilding will be indistinguishable from all previous iterations.
