Week Fifteen: Detroit Lions (8-5) @ Los Angeles Rams (10-3)

[MichiganCardinal]

Go up 31-20 on this drive and don't look back.

[MichiganCardinal]

Lions get a first down? Holding to take it away.

[MichiganCardinal]

He's in the frame!!! That's such a bad call!

[TP_Fan]

Only the lions are allowed penalties. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Hell of a run by Gibbs to even get past the line of scrimmage.

[lordstanley]

That iffy holding call changed everything. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Are we punting?

[MichiganCardinal]

Fake punt time?

[TP_Fan]

Ugly.  Jsut ugly.  Horrible officiating. Since the TD it’s 3 rams possessions to one lions 3 and out.  

[TP_Fan]

I think punting was the wrong call. 

[MichiganCardinal]

The penalties that have been called against the Lions today have been brutal and consequential.

The penalties that have been called against the Rams? Oh, well never mind.

[TP_Fan]

Even with the bad call, you’d like to see the lions recover one time from a bad call. 

[sagnam]

Does anyone miss field goals against the Lions? I can’t think of many misses.

[sagnam]

The Rams have a guy they throw all the passes to. Maybe we should try to cover him?

[MichiganCardinal]

Offensive tackle moved early again.

And gets hurt on the play.

Old man Rivers helping out the Lions.

 

This is my favorite thing that’s happened this season. He’s such a good dude. Love to see him and his positivity back at 44.

Bobble snap gets 7 yards.  Come on defense. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Man coverage just isn't getting it done. No one within a yard of him on another crucial third down.

Close but no cigar is the motto of the day for the defense so far.

[TP_Fan]

Defense is just garbage.  3 for 3 on 3rd down this drive. Get off the ****ing field. Rams have had the ball the entire quarter.  

[TP_Fan]

Every run play is a minimum of 5 yards.

And again.

[TP_Fan]

They can’t guard anyone. Pathetic effort.  

[Mr.TaterSalad]

He was clearly down. Not a TD.

[MichiganCardinal]

Give them enough 3rd down conversions and 7 will always be inevitable.

The talent isn't there for man coverage. It just isn't. We need more zone schemes.
