Greg Blache needs to be held accountable!!

GT, what's your take on the difference between halves, 1st half: Lions 275 yrs, 2nd half: 106. 3rd downs: 1st half: 8 of 10 ? 2nd: 1 of 6

Was there any significant adjustment, did they play harder?

This is a trend so far this year.

Kevin Smith's injury made the third downs a much longer proposition. That was the biggest difference.

Redskins got to Stafford a few times in the second half, virtually nothing on him all of the first half.

Smith definitely found cutback lanes that Morris & the rook didn't. When you do your game review I'll be interested to see if you notice any adjustments. I thought it looked like they were just bringing Horton & Doughty up more, but overall it just seems like they play harder in the 2nd half after they've dug a whole for themselves.
