Go 45!

 

[LionJim]

Go Lions. 66 years is plenty.

 

[LionJim]

I just now tuned in (NBC), 1:30 of 1. 3-3. Lions at midfield.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Cabinda w a catch

 

[LionJim]

Lions up 3-10, a 14-play drive, wow, the talent. Great drive, holy moly.

 

[LionJim]

Cabinda w a catch

What’s his number? 45

 

[LionJim]

Good football, every play.

 

[LionJim]

I see that Tampa is utilizing the “let’s not cover the tight end” defense.

 

[rudedude]

10-10 at half and Mike Evans is a monster. Lions better cover him, he beat them single handedly on the last drive for Tampa.

 

[BobPSU92]

Tampa is handling the weather in Detroit well so far.

 

[Psu00]

Go 45!

The Lions are from Michigan. I thought, by rule, we can’t root for Michigan teams here?

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

I do not think it is a smart move to not block that #97 from Detroit. But what do I know…

That poor girl

I struggle but 1 n 2 went to HS with 45 so gotta be all in

I’m pulling for the Lions because I lived in Michigan for 11 years.

I‘m such an a$$hole.

 

[BobPSU92]

TD, Lions. 17-10, Detroit in the 3rd.

Lions/Bills Super Bowl!

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

This is a fine football game!

 

[LB99]

I have to give Tampa credit. They are a better team than I gave them credit for.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

This is a fine football game!

And the beer is cold!

Lived in Michigan? Why the hell are you even allowed on this board?

The latte and scone posts make so much more sense now.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

wow, 3rd & 15, and the Lions get the 1st, with 8 and change left on the clock and a 7-point lead

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

And the beer is cold!

The rick is sober

 

[BobPSU92]

Lions up by 14 with six minutes to go.

It’s hard not to like Dan Campbell.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

So great kills me

He was stealing their signs for us.

 

[LionJim]

Why in God’s name go for 2 there?

 

[AvgUser]

Why in God’s name go for 2 there?

I thought the same.
I guess that’s why im not a smart NFL coach

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Every time they call RB Montgomery I smile

 

[Psu00]

Why in God’s name go for 2 there?

It makes no sense.

The math/analytics support it...it's something that you're seeing more and more coaches do.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

@rudedude you gotta start the bills thread

 

[LionJim]

The analytics support it? How so? If it’s too complicated I’ll be satisfied with a “because they do.”

 

[Tom McAndrew]

wow, bad throw by Mayfield and the Lions with an INT with 1:30 left in the game, and up 31-23. That should be the games as I think the Bucs only have 1 TO left

 

[Psu00]

It makes no sense.

I was waiting for your head to explode when Chris Collinsworth was describing the math percentages for kicking vs going for 2.

 

[LionJim]

Bookended by Baker interceptions. Too bad. I like Baker, he’s come a long way.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Final: 31-23, Lions over the Bucs

Long article, but here is one of the articles that details the math around it...
