Gird Your Loi(o)ns - 11/19 noon on Fox

[BigSlick]

Good lord. I guess we have to remember the team is Bad. 

 

WHat the hell man 

[Tryptamine]

Scott fumbles, Foreman someone how gets the ball back into his chest and still looses it. This will somehow be Fields's fault

[Tryptamine]

Jaylon drops a sure pick 6

[SpongeWorthy]

I DID like this offense

We're done scoring until garbage time. Detroit's going to keep blitzing and dare Fields to beat it. He will not.

I can probably get there.  Fields put the offense in a long situation, then held the ball too long before dumping off and gave the defense time to swarm.

Maybe? The offensive line isn't giving him any favors right now - and Detroit is not letting us run on early downs. They need to play action and execute a bit to make them back off. 

I actually like how Fields is playing at the moment - warts and all. He can't factor in his wide receiver inexplicably fumbling.

How did Fields put them in a long situation? It was his center who wouldn't hike the ball that led to the penalty.

Giant pike: Herbert runs right into it

[Tryptamine]

Lions load up the line, Getsy says we're running on 1st and 2nd anyway.

[BigSlick]

damn that as nifty throw to Mooney - a rocket on the run while moving away from defenders

thats the type of play that makes Fields potentially special 

[SpongeWorthy]

teams that need to be "blown away" by a prospect to replace their current starter don't call 3 QB power sweeps and other designed runs in the first half of games that aren't all that important to win imo

 Moore = GOAT

DJ Moore is a god

[Tryptamine]

Ok, enough with designed QB sweeps. The Lions are much faster to the outside than the Bears are.

[UMFan83]

Too many negative plays on 1st down today

[BigSlick]

I would not run on 1st down until something changes in the Lions alignment. It ain't working

God, Fields's balance turns that from a 1 yard gain to a 5 yard gain. It's cool to be reminded of just how physically talented this dude is. 

[Tryptamine]

CJ Stroud is amazing  14/19 194 yards and a TD with 13 second to go in the first half.

He runs like Gayle Sayers

 

 

[Outshined_One]

That went about as expected.

[Tryptamine]

Oline didn't give him much of a chance on 3rd down.

[BigSlick]

They need to give him something easy to hit on a blitz - I'd have to watch again to see if someone was there, but bleh

This is about worst case scenario though for that 3rd down - no clock runs and the Lions get a chance for a back-to-back

He needs to give it to himself.  He can signal a hot route. I saw Bagent do it.
