More Banjo: Week 17 @ Lions

[pbmax]

Offense kicked it into gear in the 3rd Qtr after adjustments. Bit surprisingly, those adjustments included some decent runs. Last drive that ended in Adams TD was a thing of time wasting beauty.

Randall, Rollins (still in hospital, but has movement and is stable) and Dorleant get hurt. Randall and MD have knee issues.

Defense picked it up but Packers going to have to find a CB or two this week. Bet you only get one of Dorleant or Randall back. Randall has a shoulder problem too.

Schum had one great punt and a bunch of dreck. ST coverage was OK with one exception on kickoff.

The Lions began the season 9-4, but have now lost the team’s last two games headed into a winner-takes-the-NFC North showdown with the Packers. Detroit’s success — and failures — have been SOS-related. Detroit’s last two losses came to the two best teams (by record) the Lions have faced all year: the 13-2 Cowboys and 10-5 Giants. And the 9-4 start came with Detroit going 8-1 against teams with a losing record and 1-3 against teams with a winning record. To date, the only wins for the Lions this year against a team with a winning record was a 20-17 home victory over 8-6-1 Washington where Detroit had the ball, down 4, at its own 25, with 1:05 remaining. The Lions have done well by beating bad teams, but if Detroit loses to Green Bay, that unlikely win over the Redskins will be the only impressive win the team has all year.

Back to Old School defense. KISS

killing off the 3rd qtr and getting points both drives was big. same thing in the 4th. going quick ball control passing was the difference. got some good runs in there too. sometimes big-play-or-bust has to be shelved. it was a great adjustment at ht.

Yeah, got sense the Lions changed their Defensive approach from the first game in a big way. Didn't look like anything the Packers wanted was easy in the first half.

HUGE line for the playoff game. Wow. That'll come down I would think.

Already down to 4.5

Vague internet references to Spriggs knee being the problem.

On Montgomery missing large swath of first half:

Aaron Nagler ‏@AaronNagler 3h3 hours ago
@z_p_s He (McCarthy) said he got "dinged" which is interesting since no injury was ever reported.

So probably a concussion evaluation that was negative I am guessing.

Ty was limping after one play pretty good, I think it was in the first half. Also, I think they have pass pro concerns with him at this point, and Rip was running fine.
