It was primarily Awosika that was the issue.  He gave up 2 of the 3 sacks and a number of quick pressures.  Hopefully Frazier is getting ready until Mahogany comes back.

It is expected that Frazier will be activated as he was full practice all last week. I'd be surprised if he plays on Thanksgiving over Awosike, but after what we've seen from Awosike last year and this, I like to think Frazier would be an upgrade. 

Davenport was LP/LP/FP and Paschal was LP/LP/LP. Don't know what this means for their availability on Thursday, but I'm assuming Davenport will play. Dorsey should probably be available. Reed got limited snaps yesterday but Liao says he was in during OT which indicates that limiting his snaps was part of the plan and he should be ready for more of a role against GB. Really need TA back. Despite the calls that go against him, the pass defense has not been good without him.

The next NFL rule change will probably be to narrow the posts. I can see that possibly happening.

I agree. As longer and longer FG become more common I think they'll find a way to made them harder to make.

Just get rid of the K-balls.

RE, Lions rushing yards. Gibbs had 15 carries for 219 yards. Monty had 5 for 18. It’s fair to ask how much of the 219 was Gibbs being the best player on the field, by a large margin. The Giants DL gets QB pressure because that makes headlines and money. Stopping the run is not what they are out there for.

 

If the Lions are forced into obvious passing situations it’s legitimately scary. There is almost immediate pressure. i think that’s one of the reason they are so epically bad at 3rd and long. The line is banged up and struggling. They can still pull off plays, they are generally talented, but pass protection is a liability.
