Week Eleven: Detroit Lions (6-3) @ Philadelphia Eagles (7-2)

[Jason_R]

Hell of an open field run. 

[lordstanley]

Gibbs, one of the plays of the year!

[MichiganCardinal]

Keep it up O-Line!

[MichiganCardinal]

Gibbs had a route to the end zone on that run, just missed it

[MichiganCardinal]

Should kick it here.

Yep!

[lordstanley]

I would have kicked it there. Said that to myself before the snap. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Not scoring hurt there.

He’s got a one-speed mentality, and when the offense is clicking it’s a good mentality.

He needs to adjust.

Kinda wishing the Eagles valued draft picks more than wins. Phillips is being disruptive.

[TP_Fan]

By far the worst Campbell has ever coached.  This is truly awful.  0 for 5 on 4th down. Horrible play calling.  Putting players in a position to fail.  Just ugly everywhere. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Maybe the defense can get them a safety.

[Motown Bombers]

I for one am glad the Eagles let superior players like Sweat and Williams leave to trade picks for lesser players like Phillips. 

[Motown Bombers]

Isn't a hi-low hit roughing the passer?

[MichiganCardinal]

There’s simply no way that’s a personal foul.

[Jason_R]

That play might be the dagger. 

[TP_Fan]

And the eagles gonna march it out of end zone and go score. This is not a playoff team. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Campbell will have questions to answer if this is a loss. Just really bad offense this game. 

[sagnam]

Phillips cost 1.5 million and he’s disruptive. I don’t get why a player not this game is relevant.

[Sports_Freak]

Branch has been coached not to do a helmet to helmet hit since he was 6 years old. Aggressive is good, overaggressive is stupid 

[MichiganCardinal]

Yet again the defense keeps it a game.

The Lions don't have a 3rd round pick to trade. It would have cost a 2nd round pick for a rental player. 

[lordstanley]

Somehow still just a one-score game.

So many of those penalties, that one included, are about fractions of inches. And not just relating to Branch. If the receiver’s head is up, it’s not a penalty.
