Like SS says...we need to wait until the 2nd half. While we are doing what we should in the 1st half, we did well in the 1st half vs the Giants, and blew it in the 2nd.

Ok Clark, way to fire them up...

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

hopefully they learned their lesson after losing the last game with a 14 point lead,lets not forget,Detroit only had 3 points thru 3 qtrs last week,then erupted for 34!! 4th qtr points

[QUOTE=Beemnseven;360132][B]I DO NOT like the playcalling with 1:20 left before halftime.[/B]
We'd been moving the ball well, Campbell was on target, Detroit wasn't stopping us in the passing game, and Gibbs sits on it with plenty of time left.

Outrageous.

Do you think the Cowboys, Colts or Patriots would be comfortable with a 14 point lead with that much time still available? HELL NO. They'd be striking down the field trying to get another score.

That's exactly the kind of complacency that separates the winners from the losers.[/QUOTE]

I'm OK with them running out the clock in that case. They didn't want to let the Lions back in the game before the half.

Gary Clark inducted into the ring of fame...bout time. He was an amazing WR for us.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Hope we don't need that timeout later.

my HD is out too they switched to regular

True enough. If Detroit scores 10 points in the second half, people will come out of the cracks and start saying things like, "We might as well go home because we are going to lose," "typical second half collapse," blah, blah blah. We can't expect to contain them all game long; be grateful and amazed that we held the most explosive offense int he league to 0 points in the first half and don't expect a shut-out.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

How many DET fumbles is that?

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

where is ARE???

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

You can almost hear Gibbs thoughts...
"Ok, we're up 14-0...sit on it."

LOL.

How would you be letting the Lions back in the game by trying to be aggressive and get another score?

14 points weren't enough two weeks ago.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

[QUOTE=BleedBurgundy;360150]How many DET fumbles is that?[/QUOTE]

5 with no recoveries. It's hard to complain about either side of the ball right now, but it would be extra sweet to start recovering some of those fumbles.

Hurt his hammy...but no point having him do PR when he's our #1 WR.

Turnover deep in your own territory

Injured -- hamstring.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

HOLY SHIT...ARE is out now!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

I hope we can still stretch the field with ARE out.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

better break open the seal on B.Lloyd

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

The magic number for the offense as far as I'm concerned is 20. They need to pop that cherry...

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

How small does Lloyd feel right now?

We were in our zone...I would agree with you if we were on their side of the field...or at least close.

[QUOTE=SmootSmack;360157]Turnover deep in your own territory[/QUOTE]

Why is it automatically assumed that there will be a turnover?

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Looks like the Skins have decided they'll line Campbell up at WR before Lloyd. Heck, Don Breaux might see some game action :)

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

McCarrdell! (did I spell that right?)

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

[QUOTE=SmootSmack;360157]Turnover deep in your own territory[/QUOTE]

Exactly...you don't let them have ANY momentum when going into half. It was the right choice.

MCCARDELL!!! Sweet!

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Interesting use of Sellers on running plays against this strong front four.

It's not assumed, nor is the possibility ignored

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Did he fumble there?
If so, i think it was Wade that fell on it.

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

I really wonder what did Lloyd do at Redskins park to put him this far behind

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

damn... Bring on Squeeze 'Em

Re: Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread
 

Jason's passer rating right now is 120.0. That's second this week only to Tom Brady (at 134).

Again, have some faith in your quarterback. Using this logic you should never throw the ball on your own side of the field.

Campbell has a 121 qb rating.
