Woodson went up too early

Yup, no Defensive playa of da year dis year.

Why are we blitzing greater than 50% of the time? It has surely got some positives (sacks, pressures, etc.) - but we've been burned more often. How many screens for 1st downs, swing passes, etc? Heck - on that last TD drive - we had Jarret Bush blitz twice. Is he that bad in coverage that we just ask him to take up a blocker on the line?

The Lions scheme is perfect for an aggressive team. I'd be fine with more balance.

Its not that high. They are often sending an overload from one side but still only rushing four.

Woodson went up too early

Derrick Martin should have went for that ball. He had a good angle on it but chose not to try and stop it and played behind Calvin for some dumb ass reason.

Lucky to be leading this game...

INT that took off 3 or 7 from the Lions
Gift turnover in the redzone lead to short TD by GB
Late fumble and missed FG by Detroit

Could easily be 20 or 24 to 14 - Lions.

(Lions - Packers)

1st downs (13 to 7)
3rd down (5/7 vs 2/4)

Turnovers (2 vs 1)
Sacks (1 vs 3)
Penalties (9 vs. 1)

2nd half...
1. Stop blitzing every down - Hill is 21 of 26 for 237 yards (many of them screens, short outs, swing passes). Really - he's on pace for 470 yards!

2. Does ARod really only have 9 attempts? With a combined 8 carries by Jackson/Kuhn/Rodgers - the Packers have only ran 17 plays? Wow - that's just crazy for 21 points. Lions have ran 2Xs as many plays and have to be dominating TOP.

More 2 man and less zone then? Or can we have one stick back on the blitz (fake blitz)?

[pbmax]

Not a good call.

[Fosco33]

Is that every game now for CWood?

[imscott72]

These PI calls are getting so out of control..WTF is Woodson suppose to do? Not touch the guy at all?

[imscott72]

WOODSON TOUCHDOWN!!!

They seem to be bringing coverage up from deep and giving the short pass angles to make people miss.

I would think about more defenders in the middle.

But what do I know, Wood just scored a TD on an INT>

[Fosco33]

How many dropped INTs for Collins (and the Pack) this year? Looked like he looked up for the blockers...

[Fosco33]

go read the 'predict score' thread from last 2 weeks. I should be going to Vegas. Unless it was trapped.
