Game 1: Lions @ Colts Thread

4th quarter comebacks is a stat I dislike.

On the one hand it is impressive. But on the other hand, it means the team fell behind, so either the defense sucks (true sometimes) or else Stafford sucked in the first 3 quarters (also true sometimes). It's a mixed bag for sure.

Lions d caused them to call time outs. And the review helped too. Hilton was out of bounds. Should have been a penalty on colts

Well, you could either believe the colts coach who publicly stated he was forced to call the timeout due to improper personnel concerns. Or you could believe LKP....

It was the battle of the moron coaches.....theres won. Or lost....depends how you want to look at it lol.

A better stat might be % of successful game winning drives...not total number of GW drives.
 
Personnel for them was wrong because of our d. Austin put good personnel on field so colts had to burn one
 
What is successful. Scoring a td. He did. Then the defense would give up a td or fg

2012 and 2013 was injured like colts secondary

2015 Wilson and Ihedigbo played like it

I wish that list could go back to include the 1950's so I/we could see how many comeback wins Bobby Layne had. He was the original 4th quarter and 2 minute QB.
 
Over the last nine games, including Sunday?s win in Indianapolis,
Stafford has completed 71.1 percent of his passes for 22 touchdowns, just two interceptions and has a passer rating of 112.5.
He has a 7-2 record over that stretch.

With a passer rating of 128.6 at Indianapolis, Stafford became the first Lions quarterback since at least 1950 to register a passer rating of at least 115.0 in four consecutive games.

He started right where he left off the 2015 season as he finished with three straight games featuring a passer rating over 115.0 (148.6 at NO, 118.6 vs. SF and 119.4 at Chi).

In helping to lead the Lions to a comeback victory in Indianapolis ? the 21st such comeback win in his career ? Stafford was 9-of-11 passing for 119 yards with a touchdown and a 142.0 rating in the fourth quarter.
That rating was the best in the NFL in the fourth quarter Week 1.

The Lions recorded 21 plays of at least 10-plus yards vs. the Colts, which is the most in the NFL through Week 1.

P Sam Martin tied the second-highest single-game net punting average (55.5) in NFL history since net punting became an official statistic in 1976 (minimum qualifier of four punts). Martin?s 55.5 net punting average also set a new team single-game record.

Martin?s gross punting average of 58.8 was the highest by a Lions punter since at least 1960, surpassing the previous best of 57.3 by Hall Famer Yale Lary....... I knew it was Yale Lary's record he broke.

The Lions are tied for first in red zone offense with a touchdown percentage of 100. They were 4-for-4 scoring touchdowns in the red zone last week.
The Lions' defense allowed 35 points Sunday, tied for the fourth most in the NFL Week 1 of the season.

Ameer Abdullah collected 120 yards from scrimmage (63 rush, 57 receiving) and Theo Riddick had 108 total yards (45 rush, 63 receiving). By both running backs surpassing 100 total yards, it marked the first time since Nov. 28, 2013 vs. Green Bay (Reggie Bush, 182; Joique Bell, 128) that the Lions had two running backs total over 100 yards from scrimmage in a game.

58.3 percent of all Detroit?s runs in Week 1 gained at least 4.0 yards. That?s the fourth highest percentage behind Washington (66.7), Pittsburgh (60.0) and Carolina (59.4).

Not one player in the NFC rushed for 100 yards in Week 1. Only two reached the mark in the entire league (DeAngelo Williams 143; Lamar Miller, 106).

Tahir Whitehead struggled in pass coverage vs. the Colts. The Colts connected on nine of their 11 attempts throwing his direction for 93 yards and two touchdowns, per PFFF.

With three receptions for 35 yards Week 1, WR Anquan Boldin surpassed Andre Reed (13,198) for 16th place on the NFL?s all-time receiving yards list with 13,230.

The Lions allowed the Colts to score points on 60 percent of their drives (6-of-10), tied with Washington for the highest percentage in Week 1.

DT Haloti Ngata played his 150th career game last week. Ngata currently ranks fourth in career games among active defensive tackles with 150.

Abdullah is second in the NFC in first downs gained with seven.

You're a moron if you don't think that list has anything to do with tenure in the league. And i don't really understand the super bowl champion comparison....stafford hasn't won anything close to that. Not entirely sure what you're trying to get at.

I do think they won this game in spite of Jim Caldwell's clock management at the end. If the Colts didn't use a timeout and ran the clock even further down, I really don't think Caldwell would use one. If he wasn't using them early when there was 1:30 left or even 1:00 left, I don't see any evidence he'd start using them at the 30 second mark.

If the Colts were any sort of smart, they would have ran it down even further and done their last couple plays with 20 seconds or so left. They were committed to needing a TD, and 25-30 seconds with even one timeout is plenty of time to score. Them using one was very, very stupid and bailed Caldwell out.

You don't think Caldwell would have used any of their timeouts with 30 seconds in the GAME left? The GAME?? Is that what you're saying?? Lol. I don't think they were using their timeouts because ot was obvious that the Colts were hurrying to get in the endzone. You're right....Pagano was horrible there and Luck should have known better. Win Lions!! Happens all the time.
As for Caldwell and the timeouts? Hell ya he would have used them. I think he would have used them earlier if the Colts took their time. Fortunately for us, they didn't.
