NFC Divisional Playoff Game: Commanders @ Lions Thread

[Mitchrapp]

Yeah two perfect passes to Reynolds and he drops both of them. His only drops in 2023. None of that loss at SF was Goffs fault. Still unsure if Campbell should have kicked the fg before Reynolds 1st drop.

Now he had some issues yesterday. Wish he had checked it down on the pick 6. Plus that 3rd and 1 was just a dumb play call but Goff needs to protect the ball when he reloads. So weird how we were much better on the road this year.

The thing about dumb play calls is they're only dumb when they don't work. If it works, it's brilliant.

Choked back to back years.

It’s better having a shot for the nfc title game and the Super Bowl last season then the Patrica era, way better then the Caldwell era, Hell what other era has the last two years not been better then except the 1950’s ? The Stafford Trade made Detroit so much better. We got so many starters for him. Not sure who is out there that can run this offense better than Goff that we can acquire ?

I just don't get the hate from some people. Hell the Tigers drafted Mahomes sadly not the Lions. Hopefully Holmes and Campbell can reload the team next season. Who knows maybe the new dc and oc will be better than Glenn and Johnson. Hopefully we can take that next step.

We all know 3rd and 1 there is no reason to go empty backfield. It so helped out Washington. I truly think Ben gets sped up in his play calling at times. Just run the ball there. Even if it worked it would been stupid. Sadly St. Brown either tripped or fell down on the route..
Give the ball to Gibbs.

I'm way on the outside here so I don't know what the Lions best plays are these days but isn't Campbell known for doing the different, unusual?

I really think Glenn

That play calling was talked about all morning on the radio shows I listen to. Lions up 7-3 at Washington 17 and it’s 3rd and 1. I forget if it was Gibbs or Montgomery but they either motion him or send him out. I just disagree with not running the ball there. You had 2 downs to get one yard. You are winning. St Brown was the target he tripped and Goff had to look for a different option. He was hit and fumbled.
10 plays and 78 yards later it is 10-7 instead of 10-3 or 14-3. I just hate throwing there. It was pretty apparent after that drive and losing Robertson our defense was in trouble. It just would have killed more time. Goff’s turnovers didn’t help and he was never the same after the pick 6 and getting blasted to the head.
We rushed for over 200 yards too. Just hand the ball off.

Its like the Seattle SB all over again? Oh, on to next season.

I bet every Seattle player coach fan anyone who was rooting for the Seahawks wish Skittles had run the ball. If I interviewed Pete Carroll for a coaching job I would ask him. I wonder what he would say ?
He could have been back to back. Champions. Man Seattle fell off the map after those back to back Super Bowl appearances.

Like Dan said in his post game interview he didn’t have the team ready. I really thought off a bye week we would be. Both our OC and DC had subpar games yesterday. Even scoring 31 I thought Ben was off.. Glenn had no one left but his game plan for Daniels was putrid.
I can’t believe we were not ready for the naked bootleg. Arnold totally whiffed.

 

[byco42]

Did Goff not get a single stop on defense?

Cinder block, meet apple.

2 years in a row that the rams season came to an end with the ball in staffords hands.

I was so pissed. I needed a Stafford INT for a $200 parlay winner. I thought I had a chance when it was 4th down...then he basically throws the ball out of bounds. Give somebody a chance to catch it!

 

[biggunsbob]

It’s Monday and I’m still pissed. When is the draft ? Not even sure who to root for. I have been in a fog since the game ended. I really thought we would play well at home.

Let it go brother. Breath.

Sounds like Ben to the bears. Hate it. Was hoping he'd go out of division.

hopefully he draws up more wr passes in crucial play off games.

 

[gotime909]

Sounds like ben is hiring Dennis Allen as he DC. Hmmmm seems like this is all pretty quick events for a guy preparing an offense for a playoff game last week.

 

[biggunsbob]

Kind of pisses me off. This deal with Ben had to be done last week.
Thanks Ben but now I want Dan and who stays to snap your team like a twig.

Suspicious indeed.

Every year before last year, we would be asking when is the draft as soon as the regular season ended.
Now we are a Super Bowl contender. This year there were just too many injuries.
The draft is in April. Our Lions will draft up and down the Defensive line,
and hire a brilliant Offensive Coordinator. Next year is Our year.

I'm rooting for the Bills. They are the only team to go to the super bowl team for 4 straight years and lose each time.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Suspicious indeed.

He interviewed during the bye week. Im betting it was a distraction and should NOT be allowed until the playoffs are over. Its bullshit and even when agreed upon, still tampering in a way. When you are waving a promotion and pay raise in someones face, they are not going to say, no. Both Johnson and Glenn interviewed and thats really shitty during a probable SB run. Both interviews were a distraction, I believe. Going into the game, I told my buddy shit like that can hurt a team and I think it most certainly did.
