Damn Meli came from like the deepest S spot

 

[BobbyLayne]

Melifonwu playing so great the last two weeks

 

[bcat01]

Just noticed my opponent in local league started Riley Patterson. Oops.

He’s a really intense player too. Might have broken the F bomb record when he saw that. Probably a Christmas distraction

Just saw the same thing happened in my league. Owner is super competitive.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Idk if I ever saw a blitzer come from that far downfield before

 

[Gottabesweet]

Was hoping Gibbs would get the 4 min offense work.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I love the aggressiveness on defense...it's about time Glenn.

saw it a lot watching the All 22 from last wwek

was way more creative - unfortunately Fields made some great plays

sigh

 

[Ilov80s]

Just no way Amon Ra is going to have another bad game. Just no way.

 

[karl.Racki]

Man Goff is picking the Broncos apart.. Can't wait to watch Baker do this again tomorrow against the Packers.

It's a lot easier to blitz when Jacobs is on the bench.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

MORE MONTY !!!!!!!!!!

 

[travdogg]

Assuming they don't convert on 3rd down, I say no FG here, go for the dagger. Broncos can't cover both ARSB and LaPorta, they are too weak in the middle.

 

[Mongidig]

Perine is certainly more explosive than Williams. What am I missing?

 

[Dez]

Sitting Higgins for Sutton not working out. Sure wish Gibbs got to play more he is so electric.

No clue why Denver took a timeout when they did on a 2nd and 2 seems stupid.

 

[Gottabesweet]

Imagine how much scarier the Lions would be if the D didn’t know it was a Montgomery vs. Gibbs drive and had to account who ran on and off the field.

 

[travdogg]

Feel like they should have called TO a little sooner.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I think Detroit realized Gibbs snuck in the field and took a timeout

 

[Zeppelin]

Touchdown!!!!!!!

 

[BobbyLayne]

awesome

 

[Ilov80s]

Well that was a fun TD

 

[Osaurus]

BOOM!

 

[Mt. Man]

There's the ARSB TD people wanted.

 

[FarFromHome]

Sun God. Welcome back buddy

 

[Dez]

I have Goff and Gibbs in a league but too bad I sat Addison to muck it all up

That’s not true. They are nonexistent in the middle.

 

[Zeppelin]

Best and most complete half of football they have played all year.

 

[Dez]

I wanted to play Geno over Goff but since he was listed as questionable I just said F it I will take home Goff

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Kinda loving my redraft league where I have Goff, LaPorta, & St Brown.


10 points at 300+ passing, 5 at 100+ receiving, too. 2nd half should be fun.

I have LaPorta but sat Addison.

 

[Ilov80s]

Lions TD scorers are 22, 21 and 24.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Shaping up to be a run heavy 2nd half for Detroit. Good for Monty/Gibbs owners.

Gotta love it when a team exploits an obvious weakness.

I mean, it could, but if I'm the Lions, why? They'll be playing run, and Goff has needed the confidence boost. Why not keep the foot on the gas?

I have Monty in another playoff lineup. Hoping for a huge 2nd half.

I expect them to be balanced in the 3rd & go run-heavy in the 4th. Monty is their closer. That’s often when he breaks some big runs against a tired D, too.

I think Detroit plays the 2nd half the same they did the 1st. They know the defense isn't great and leads aren't safe in the NFL.

 

[Spartans Rule]

I figured the Lions offense would get back on track once the line was healthy, but I did not see this coming from the defense. Very encouraging, hope they can keep it up.

ARSB is nuking my chances. Monty in the second might bury them two thousand feet underground.

If they score again & make a stop they should wrap him in bubble wrap.

Jerry Jacobs hasn't been on the field yet. The Lions are playing Dorsey & Vildor over him.

Still early, there is a lot of football left to play.

What took so long?

 

[Ilov80s]

I love seeing these primetime shots of Detroit. It's such a great city. People really have no idea.

 

[Mt. Man]

Right. Just see the Saints game about how "safe" a 21-0 lead is. That was in the 1st quarter and not at halftime. But still.

 

[Gottabesweet]

Triple coverage and the LB gets a PI on a deep ball.

 

[Ilov80s]

I hate that if it's DPI. What is 34 supposed to do? Just fall to the ground and let Mims catch the ball?

 

[Ilov80s]

Triple coverage and the LB gets a PI on a deep ball.

He was in perfect coverage. It's stupid the QB can underthrow the ball so much that a defender gets flagged for being in the way.

It is, but its been the rule for over a decade. Aaron Rodgers was pretty much the king of those bad throws that move the chains.

Disagree. They need to start showing a lil more concern for my ff team
