Detroit Lions 2023

[radioandtventhusiast]

Aaron had a longer run on Jeopardy! at least.

I couldn't watch last night's Vikings-Eagles game, but checking the stats our old friend D'andre Swift ran for 175 yards on 28 carries! Where was this the last few years?

T.J. Hockensen caught seven passes for 66 yards and two TDs.

Turnovers up the wazoo.

With the present 0-2 status of the Vi-queens, speculation has begun of Kirk Cousins to the Jets.

Campbell has brass balls. I would have kicked the fg.

I thought Swift was a damn good RB last year and was disappointed when I learned he wouldn't be returning.

Montgomery was just taken to the locker room for an injury examination. Not good.

[MWmetalhead]

They're fucked.

[MWmetalhead]

They've still got some life left.

[MWmetalhead]

Horrible, horrible no call. That should've been holding against Seattle.

[Matt]

Lions got fucked - Aidan was held.

[moldyoldie]

For a supposed flag-happy officiating crew, how in HELL didn't they call a hold on Hutchinson on that last play!

[MWmetalhead]

Hindsight is 20-20, but I wish the Lions would've been a bit more aggressive on the last series of downs during their final drive in regulation.

[Honeyman]

Campbell not punting on 4th and 2 from his forty something was a stupid call.

We always seem to struggle with Seattle…

I did as well, but with St. Brown hurting, Montgomery and Vaitai out, and it being at home, "the book" would probably tell you to take the tie and go to OT.

Still, it was three turnovers and the turnovers on downs that lost the game. Campbell seems willing to live by the fourth down play and die by it.

At least the Packers and duh Bears both lost.

[MWmetalhead]

I was totally fine with the decision to kick the FG at the end of regulation (not doing so would've been a poor decision). My issue is more with the 2nd and 3rd down plays of that series.

I was unhappy with the decision not to kick the FG on 4th down when it was a 7-7 game.

Just my gut watching real-time, When Detroit scored the TD to pull within 4 (then 3 with the PAT), I would have went for the 2-pt conversion there. Get it and a FG later wins it, miss it and you still win with a second TD.

I have a hard time faulting them for going for it any particular time instead of kicking 3 only because they're pretty good at converting and so it isn't fair to criticize any one particular time when it doesn't work.
