And a hobbled Ragnow. Ugh...

In the Free Press this morning, they said the Green Bay offense runs the same plays that Atlanta does. Heavy run game to protect their inexperienced QB.

I hope he tells the Tigers hitters to only swing at strikes and for the pitchers to get ahead in the count. Real cutting edge stuff....🤔

Bump Is signing Holton the best move Harris made? The kid has some of the best RP stats in MLB.

Maybe the KC pitcher will groove him a fastball and have the catcher let him know it's coming?

And his defense is amazing.

He has one hit all season with the bases loaded? That's kinda hard to do...

Yeah, I agree. I just don't think there's a screen play in the playbook. It's really why I asked, I don't remember the Lions ever using one under Ben Johnson or MCDC.

I just don't remember ever seeing them use the screen. I may be mistaken but it's such a good play with an elusive runner in open space, it seems like it should be an option. I think we run some WR screens?

Do the Lions use any screen passes to get Gibbs the ball in the open field?

As long as Johnson is his OC. They seem to click pretty well. I could see Johnson molding a new QB to be as good as, or better, than Goff.

Yeah, the better QB was actually calling all the plays. That was a long time ago. 😄

I really don't agree. If the Lions can find a better option, they may. But, in reality, I don't care. I just want whoever will win for us. I guess I care more about keeping Ben Johnson. Promote him...pay him...keep him.

4 shots? It was 1st and goal from inside the 5 yard line with 44 seconds left. Spike it, huddle up and call a TD play. I'm glad Cousins blew the game for the Vikings.

If a contract would prevent us from signing other quality players. No way do I give 25% of the payroll to one player. Besides, if Johnson leaves, do we really want an ineffective QB?

Swift and Hockerson were also starters we moved on from. I don't think the Lions will overpay to keep Goff.

Cousins is a veteran, he should have spiked the ball all on his own. It was 1st down and goal...the wasted down would have made no difference. Rookie mistake! From that article; "O'Connell made clear that he didn't think that the ticking clock impacted the execution of the play. But given how the scene played out, he acknowledged that spiking the ball would have been a better option."

Their coach doesn't agree. Said it shoulda been spiked; https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/kevin-oconnell-vikings-clock-management-kirk-cousins/88bb4574fc0d11780051b1d1

I agree. And it very well may be Rodriguez gives us a discount and extends his contract. He seems to like it here.

Don't agree, would never agree. Charges got lucky the Vikings luck got all used up last year. It was a horrible coaching mistake.

On a desperation last play. Spike the ball and there's time for 2 plays. It may have been a totally different play call. Rookie mistake, the downs didn't matter.

Agreed. And that kid they brought up from the practice squad isn't a long term answer. Gibbs is....as Rod Allen said about Jose Altuve...an itty-bitty fella.

2 pass plays marked down at the 1/2 yard line. I'm still going to win but come on, man.

Tracy Walker put some very hard hits on Atlanta. He's a gamer, for sure. I always liked him.

No...no...no. My FF team has Mahomes. 🤣
