LOL - player in all blues, standing in front of the post with a big blue wrap on it, in a blue endzone. Yeah - not real hard to lose sight of! Home field advantage.

Goff jogged off gingerly to end the half. They should have taken a knee.

💯 they should have just taken the knee. Why risk injury or a turnover?

Might as well let Goff get killed before the half.  Man was that stupid.   Come on coaches.  

I finally agree with you. 😆

Considering Bates has kicked a 64 yarder in this building I don't think it was that out of line to try to be aggressive there, all it would've taken was one crossing pattern completion and they would've been in his range. Unfortunately Decker just got beat.

Defense was very good in that half. If Davenport stays healthy, big IF, but if he does he's a game changer opposite of Hutch.

I’m sure this was their thought process. As well as that the offensive line can’t let that happen. But still. You’re getting the ball back, take the 10-3 lead to half.

They bent a LOT. But no break, and that’s what’s mattered so far.

Goff took a hit there and could have gotten hurt. No reason to risk if there given the field position imo.

I think the Lions might have an honest to goodness secondary.

Meh, Stafford has just been nickel and diming them. Has he completed a pass over 10 yards in the air? The DBs aren't getting beat. I'll take it.

I tend to agree but I can also see being aggressive there for the reasons I mentioned and don't think it was that crazy of a decision.

That’s their game plan though. They have two backup offensive tackles, they aren’t going to get 5+ seconds to be picky in the pocket.

I forget what game it was, but at the end of a half, they hit St Brown on a deep pass down the sideline and almost broke it. I don't mind going for it.

I get their thought process as you and Cardinal talked about. I'm just not taking that risk, this early in the season, with a lead already and the ball coming back our way going into halftime.

Hey man, that last play is just part of the Gambling Dan package we bought.

Joseph is a sneaky little fella.

Put Kerby Joesph on it........he's a sneaky little **** - just like you !

[TP_Fan]

Come out of the half, no Gibbs, run run and 3rd down incompletion for a 3 and out.  Why.  Why is that the plays.

and then a downing error. Ball was already down and they booted it into the end zone.  As bad as it gets. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Come on #15 - a little body control there !

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Fox is the Scottie Scheffler of punters with the great spin he put on that ball to stop it right at the one yard line.

[TP_Fan]

How can you possibly come out of the half like that??  Throw the ****ing ball. 

[Motown Bombers]

 

[TP_Fan]

Stop calling back to back run plays every god damn time.  Didn’t work in the first half.  Still not working in the 2nd half.  Be better coaches.

I wonder how Stafford is doing after that same play? He got rung a little on it.
