He hit him helmet to helmet too.

I thought so at first but they showed a replay on TV where you can see the defender look up to track the ball at the exact time Raymond waved for a fair catch so the defender missed it. Appears to be an honest mistake by his part.

Looks like he didn't see the fair catch signal. I think he was just trying to make a play

Benching Jerry Jacobs was, obviously, a good decision.

Yep. Just didn’t see it. 

[Motor City Sonics]

He didn't see the wave.   Still a bad play, but I think once Kalif sees the replay he'll chill.  

 

Why are the Lions throwing on first down at this point when the RBs have 5.7 and 11.0 ypc today? 

[TP_Fan]

Don’t need to come Out throwing.  Just run it. 

[JayB]

Broncos be the slump buster...

[Motor City Sonics]

I don't get throwing on first down.  I know you have a 4 score lead at this point, but still.............kind of dumb

[TP_Fan]

Im not saying junk about these first two play calls. Ben sent us on 5 straight td drives.

Goff sacked on 3rd down pressure.  If there is pressure, Goff is going down.

Yeah. Weird to do that. Just hand it off 3 times. If you he the first, great, if not you burn 2 mins.

Did someone say wave? Ford Field is pumping

4 score lead with 9 minutes left - I have seen crazier things (Vikings vs. Colts last year).  No need to be stupid and stop the clock there, Ben.

Heck, they could almost go in victory formation. 3 knees takes 2 minutes off the clock. No need to throw. As it is, they still burned 1:20 amd didn’t turn it over, so acceptable.

I don't think it is, actually.  It was incredibly stupid.    RBs are averaging over 8 yards a carry tonight.   Don't get cute.    4 score comebacks can happen.     Don't lose your head, man.   

[Motor City Sonics]

I mean, the Broncos are certainly helping by takin their time on this drive. 

 

Glad onside kicks are harder these days.   

[TP_Fan]

Just run it.

I gave it a shot. Section appears beyond the legal limit.

The replay showed his eyes up on the ball tracking it so he didn't see Raymond's fair catch signal which... that signal was pretty minimal to be honest...

[Motor City Sonics]

Rodrigo !

[1984Echoes]

Run that damn clock off!!!

[1984Echoes]

And 1st downs are better than 3 plunges for 2 yards each into the line...!

[Motor City Sonics]

No facemask against Denver vs. Gibbs?  

[Sports_Freak]

Yawn...
