Game 3: Patriots @ Lions *Sunday Night* Thread

[UMRules06]

Yeah, that?s the one I was talking about. It?s going to happen from time to time.....I?m sure it happens during every game. Defensive players study film too! If it was an isolated incident.....no worries really.....but hopefully it doesn?t become a bigger issue.

I heard the "toss" call during the game too. I also swore I heard at least one or two other times the Patriots defense yell out "watch the run!" and we did indeed run the ball after Stafford called an audible.

I dunno quite what to make of it either, since it's been a problem in the past. It probably does happen a lot in every NFL game I'd have to imagine.

Lions #1 in pass defense and last in rush defense . Is that true.

not really, just in yards per game.

QB rating against the Lions is 98.9 which is 21st
YPA 7.4 which is 16th
comp % 65.8% which is 18th

As far as rushing defense, they are last in a few categories

5.4 YPA = last
YPG 149.3 = 31st

I also heard on the radio that Bill went into the Lions locket room after the game. Can anyone confirm it ?

Yes. I wasn?t there but heard it on a few different radio shows. He walked straight through the Lions locker room and into The Bearded Ones office.

Heard he was in there for 20 minutes or so then walked out without saying a word.

I think this video should stop all the questions about Quinn and Patricia caring about wins and losses and if Patricia has ?lost? the team. About 40 guys looked pretty damned excited about that win and happy for their coach.

I also love how the OL and other backs respond to Kerryon Johnson. They like him. He?s a good guy and looks like he could become something we haven?t had in 20 years.

I will NOT buy his jersey though out of respect for his career.

now I want to know if this Bill thing is true and what he had to say that took 20 mins.

then I want to see the Lions remain angry every day for the rest of the season except for an hour after each win. They can be happy for an hour after each regular season win

I?m 99.9% sure the Belichek thing is true. They were talking about it on the Lions radio network about an hour after the game.

I always had my doubts about the accuracy of that report. It?s amazing how losing can suddenly increase credibility to a clickbaity troll story produced a known troll in Monarrez. The mantle of Drew Sharp did not need to be passed on, but I guess the Freep needs to make money somehow...

 

[detrisin]

Holy shit on the nfl network Sharpe, Sanders, Faulk are so Dismissive of the Lions. Saying it was just a bad game by the patriots. I guess until the Lions win anything we will always be thought of in this way ..


Is the other guy Faulk ?

It was Ladanian Tomlinson

I watched the Dallas game. They looked terrible. My best guess is the Lions go down there and lose.

Lions actually have a pretty good regular season record vs the Cowboys since the end of the Roger Staubach era, going 10-9...and s/b 2-1 in the playoffs, instead of 1-2. They are tied 2-2 in the Stafford era, so it could go either way next Sunday.
