RSersen 0 Posted November 5, 2007 They were up 23-0 in the 3rd qtr and threw a 49yd TD then up by 37-0 they ran in another. Not comparing apples to apples. 1. Defensive scores aren't running up the score. If a defender gets a turnover, he wants to run it back, and if he can, he should. 2. Up 37-0 they RAN for another score. That's the difference. If you're running the ball up big, and they can't stop the run, what do you want the RB to do, fall down? I'm not crying about the Pats, but these are two different situations.

Lions_or_Die 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Well, this does prove that we are better than the Colts since they only beat Denver 38-20 @ Indy. And if the Pats can only defeat the Colts by 4 we must be better than the Pats too. Let's run up the score on everyone the rest of the season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted November 5, 2007 They were up 23-0 in the 3rd qtr and threw a 49yd TD then up by 37-0 they ran in another. they can run up the score better than the pats. they've proven they're better than the colts already by beating denver by much more. the pats are screwed in the SB if they have to face the lions. they haven't seen an offense or defense better than that.

Mephisto 15 Posted November 5, 2007 Because realistically - the LIONS could give up that many points and lose the game. They weren't running up the score, they're still paranoid about their decade of losing coming back to haunt them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duece2626 0 Posted November 5, 2007 You mean like the TD the Pats' Eckel ran in against Dallas? No, try going for it twice on 4th down and passing the ball pretty much every time up 6 TD's halfway through the 4th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree... still, using their recent history to justify continuing to score is pretty funny, if I do say so myself. 23th in total points given up. 28th in total yards per game. Not THAT bad.

Not THAT bad. the philly and washington game will skew their numbers yet for awhile. the only important things are their current record (6-2) and how they're playing right now (outscored their opponents 60-14 the past two weeks and dominated on defense both times). and they're 4-0 at home and 2-2 on the road--a pretty good recipe for success. aren't you a philly fan? if so, how's that working for ya?

Sho Nuff 720 Posted November 5, 2007 How long before the Lion's defense is at least considered "average"? The last three weeks I think is evidence enough the Lion's D is not really that bad. I will give them average. But not sure why beating up on Griese and Ramsey should be evidence of anything. Good win yesterday...especially putting up those points against SD...but it was only 6-0 before Cutler went out. Ramsey alone gave the Lions 14 (not sure how to equate his ineptness at moving the ball and everything else as far as what they lost with Cutler out). They will definitely not sneak up on anyone...but I still would not have alot of faith in that defense or Oline. That said, they win on T-giving. Packers don't play well in the dome on Thanksgiving...have the game against the Cowboys the next week...and I will be watching it without beer at my In-laws...no cussing either. The Packers have never won a game that I have watched with my in-laws around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gave up 56 to Philly...34 to Washington. Have flourished recently against Tarvaris, Griese 2x, and Patrick Ramsey.
