Week Three: Detroit Lions (1-1) @ Arizona Cardinals (1-1)

[chasfh]

Arizona riddling the Lions secondary. Suboptimal. Gotta make it up with another solid touchdown drive.

Let’s not start with the refs.  They had 1st and 20 and they lost contain….AGAIN!!  Last week they couldn’t contain baker.  The defense scheme makes it almost impossible to stop any QB from running. If we played against Goff he could get 100 yards rushing.  It’s that bad.

That was really easy for the Cards. I have no idea how the Lions are gonna stop them today. The defense played just how you want them to on Murray's long run -- didn't commit to the rush, kept contain, but Murray is just better than them.

They didn’t keep contain though.  They immediately lost it upfield.

Brock Wright bring targeted more than LaPorta early on.

Where's Montgomery? Did they cut him? Was he a locker room issue?

False start, run for no yards.  Don’t be like last week Ben.  

[Sports_Freak]

Use. The. Clock.

Amon ra in the middle.   It’s amazing it’s taking Johnson 3 weeks to figure that out.  

[holygoat]

I feel like the Lions need to score on every drive, because that's what the Cards are gonna do.

I don't know...all he does is produce. And they stop using him. I don't get it either. I mean, Gibbs is the big play home run threat but Montgomery is SO productive.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Sucks they musta cut Montgomery. Musta been a problem in the huddle. He was doing really great on that opening drive. Every team in the league is gonna be after him. 

[TP_Fan]

Let’s keep going.  

[holygoat]

We should just trade Gibbs, right? Or maybe just cut him. Who needs him?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Alright, they're still running the ball on this drive really well with Gibbs.

Red zone

And just like that it's third and goal. Bring in Montgomery and hammer him home. 

[chasfh]

Way to go, Jared, threading that needle to get the TD to Amon Ra.

[TP_Fan]

The 2nd and goal call.  That’s what has been an issue with Johnson. Those are ones you pass on.  Bad.

3rd down works out though!!!  TOUCHDOWN LIONS!!  Another great drive.  

[Sports_Freak]

2 for 2 in the red zone. I like it.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Jake Bates, come on buddy.

Missed the extra point. I’m sure that won’t hurt later on.
