Week 5: Lions at Redskins Game Thread

Lloyd: So, uh coach think I could get in there with Moss and ARE hurt?

Gibbs: No.

truly priceless

its not that its just balanced,but the playcalls themselves,the direct snap to portis,the throw to ARE on 4th and 2,etc

True. Though I don't think any of us have really argued much this year about the first half, it's what will they do with a 14 point lead in the second half.

I like the conservative unpredictability.

So...you think we open the second half with an onsides kick? :)

on that replay of the throw to ARE you can see him pull up at the end because of his hamstring,and it seems like hamstrings take forever to heal

Now, who can tell us why Detroit should not have used their timeouts there?

we have some difficulty recovering fumbles...

SUrprised the lions haven't gone to the run sooner. We are playing to stop the pass.Well, thats cause their running game is downright awful.

This is what I've been preaching all week. A 14 point lead at half was not safe against Eli and Co because they had been moving the ball on us all half, just hadnt gotten any points. Detroit has been so futile in this game that I would argue that a 14 point lead is safe.

I think the offense is going to pile on some more in the 4th quarter, but its obvious who the best team is in this game.

Actually it was obvious before today, but in case you needed some visual evidence...that was it.

We're going to need another bye week to get healthy.

Let's come out of the locker room aggresively, keep attacking the middle of the field and get at least 2 more TD. NO FG!!

Man we are just dominating, We've held detroit to under 80 yards in the half!

still overall an impressive first half for us on both sides of the ball... i didn't like our last O series though... i would have been happier going for the throat and trying to put up another 7 points
