Second half produced three possession with three and out.  Just for novelty sake, let&#8217;s try to put two half&#8217;s of a game with the same result.  But that would eliminate all the suspense of the &#8216;heroic&#8217; comeback try or agony of a &#8216;failed&#8217; defensive stop.  Sounds like an issue coaching could effect.     <\/p>\n<p>Did you notice the Eagles suffered from the same &#8216;penalty disease&#8217; and &#8216;gifted&#8217; the Lion&#8217;s an extra net &#8216;offence&#8217; of 92 yards?

New offensive formations were a welcome deviation.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the league should consider &#8216;gift wins&#8217; to replace the &#8216;tie&#8217; category. Detroit: 1W-3L-1GW.  But this would not have the same effect as always remembering the &#8216;one that got away&#8217;.  Guaranteed, more ugly but standardized Detroit Lion&#8217;s manic outcomes to arrive on cue in future games.        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gentle Lion&#8217;s fans, Game recap: score big points in the first half, then do practically nothing on offence until the Eagles give you a gift allowing you to win the game.
