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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then game’s tenor shifted and then that old sicking feeling bubbled to the surface. Seen this before. With efforts by A. Hutchinson and D. Montgomery the slug-fest emerged. Lots of ball movement but very little production by the Lions. Compounded by the unseemly stupid penalties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking into account the see-saw overall performance balance one has to conclude this is what the entire season will look like. Always on the knife’s edge with the outcome uncertain. Injuries, current or future, will make or break the season’s outcome. Unplanned depreciation in QB, RB, DL or OL leaves no room for redemption in the season’s long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
