IMO by choosing to run the ball on all 3 possessions, I think Coach Gibbs has very little confidence in Brunell or he respected the Lions D too much (I am sticking with the former).
However, I was very impressed once again with the Defense. I also see a much improved Offensive Line when it come to running the ball...or it just could be Portis is Awesome (going with the later on this one).
No Turnovers was the key to the game along with Special Teams play.
Anyways, that was a much needed win...no matter how pathetic our passing game is. One of these days it will click and LOOK OUT. I am still keeping my hope up..LOL.
Again post your opinions or thoughts.
GO SKINS!!!!!

I concur wholeheartedly.............. with the passing game reduced to nonexistent, the Lions concentrated on stopping the run. We couldn't get the first down and keep the clock going to seal the win. Luckily the Lions were out of time outs.....otherwise we might've lost this game. Other coaches have shown some innovation and plays to surprise the defense. I realize we have problems on the offensive line, but running the same play over and over was ineffective. Gibbs was counting on the defense to keep the win, but they do get fatigued being on the field all the time.
