Cleveland at Detroit (1 Viewer)

[Maurile Tremblay]

Go.

 

[Mt. Man]

Good start for the Lions O here >.<

 

[TartanLion]

Classic start Lions. Jeez. 

 

[Mt. Man]

Lions almost lucky the Jones drop wasn't called a fumble.

It would be nice to gain a yard on a play, though.

 

[dmac37]

Do not bother with the run. AA sucks, o-line run blocking sucks, Brown run D a wall, just pass the ball.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Last week being an obvious exception, it never ceases to amaze how often they look completely unprepared in the first quarter.

They've scored 6 points in the first quarter at home this year - 1.5 per game, 31st in the NFL.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I expected Detroit to be up 21-0 by now.

 

[Mt. Man]

That was beautifully thrown directly to Collins!

Oh, wait, he's on the Browns. 

Lions determined to let no one else finish 0-16.

Presumably you only heard of the Detroit Lions for the first time at some point this week ? ?

Not sure when I first heard of them, but they are a team with a QB so I expect bad thing to happen early and often to the Browns.

[Mt. Man]

Lol Lions. Weak TD given up and a penalty.

Which team hasn't won all season again? 

 

[BobbyLayne]

Doing some interior painting today.

(PROTIP - you're gonna want that 18" roller / 21" pan setup, super fast)

Literally turning this crap off to watch paint dry.

 

[Mt. Man]

A few good runs there. Still a handful of problems with this offense (highlighted by an aggressive D), but at least a drive for a FG gives some hope.

 

[TartanLion]

Was most likely justified in taking the Browns at +10.5 

Still think we'll win at this point but why o why with the awful cold starts to games 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I don't think they got it.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Nice effort by Duke to keep that knee off the ground

 

[Mt. Man]

This looks like a DET challenge that'll gain the Browns a yard.

Bad challenge. 

 

[TartanLion]

What on earth Caldwell. Absurd challenge 

 

[jon_mx]

Great play by Davis. 

 

[jon_mx]

What on earth Caldwell. Absurd challenge 

He had no idea and either had to call a timeout or make a challenge to get a look. 

 

[Mt. Man]

Holding call bails the Lions out of another huge Browns play.

 

[jon_mx]

Lions are unable to get a pass rush as usual.  Their biggest weakness. 

 

[jon_mx]

Penalties on Cle saving Detroit's defense. 

 

[TartanLion]

Well I guess this is part of why they are a bad team. Got some talent there but lots of rookies etc, mistakes get made 

 

[Mt. Man]

Detroit sort of... running well. At least for a few plays.

 

[Futz]

Golden Tate must be a helluva dancer. Dude has some feet that just don't quit and are deceptive as hell.

 

[TartanLion]

Golden Tate just seems to get better and better to me each season 

 

[Mt. Man]

Abdulluh didn't fumble in the red zone!

Also, TD.

 

[BobbyLayne]

UPDATE: paint is looking good

Lions averaging 8.9 YPC (10-89-1)

 

[Futz]

I thought Cleveland had a great rush D? 

Classic NFL. You think you know, you don't know.

 

[TartanLion]

Nice. Good push by Glasgow and Abdullah was shifty as hell there

 

[Futz]

Decker must be better than anyone ever.

Cleveland has lost 4 games by 3 points.  It is not like everyone is killing them.  Detroit will need to play well and stop turning the ball over to win.

Yeah, I'm painfully aware of how Cleveland has lost each game they've played. Only one of those FG losses was to a decent starting QB and that was the opener. For the most part teams have thrown at will against the Browns.

Which is why the Lions will run the ball. 

 

[Mt. Man]

Wait. They're saying he wasn't down?

ETA: Meant Lawson. Just expected the recovery, but definitely a huge and surprising play.

 

[BobbyLayne]

 

[Futz]

 

[jon_mx]

Just like they draw it up. 

 

[TartanLion]

Of course it has to be bitter sweet playing against the Lions D. They always go nuts when I play against them haha 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

They really need to review that?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

WTF play was that Hugh?

Could have gotten two pass attempts and then a FG if needed.

 

[BobbyLayne]

should have been defensive delay of game, no?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Fire his ### now.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Browns gonna brown

 

[Raback]

Horrid playcall, but I'm not sure how that isn't a penalty on the Lions there

 

[jon_mx]

Terrible clock management.

Browns have to set before they snap it.  Did you want Detroit called for stalling?
