What Play was more Lionesque?

[Mitchrapp]

I remember they tied it up last play but don't remember it a punt return. Just a regular drive, last play of the game thing.

The Lions have never played in an NFC Championship game, much less a SB. The closest that a team came to doing so was the first time that they won the NFC Central title in '83, and played @ 49ers in a Divisional playoff matchup, but lost 24-23. Eddie Murray was wide right on a FG attempt that would have won the game, after going 3-4 in previous FG attempts. Considering that QB Danielson threw 5 picks in that game, the Lions D came up big to keep the game close enough to win.

Yeah, after checking the boxscore, you're correct, but could swear I remember being pissed that they kicked to Williams again in OT, but that game was a long time ago.

Sucks to get old, eh? Lol. The game after Dallas in '91 when they lost to the Redskins was an NFC Championship game.

I was thinking the same thing lol. You just beat me to it. That Lions team was a Super Bowl team for sure. I can't believe we got throttled like that against the Skins.

 

[tigermud]

I remember that 91 season well, lions lost 45-0 on opening day againts the skins then went on to finish 12-4 with Erik Kramer beat the cowboys for thier last playoff win to date then lost nfc championship to the skins 41-10 i beleive the lions scored first in that game even. The redskins were an absolute power house that year that 91 team remains the best lions team i’ve seen as a fan. Then I remember being pissed when fonts went back to Rodney Peete for the 92 season what did they finish that year 5-11 I think man that was dumb

No way lol. Kerryon knew it was coming, they made eye contact and Stafford hit him in the hands, Kerryon fumbled the ball.
Should Stafford have kept it and ran with it himself? Maybe. Easy to point the finger at the QB in that situation but I have no issue with Stafford trying to get the ball in the hands of a playmaker. Hold onto the fucking football

 

[Mitchrapp]

Matt probably never did that play before even in college. 76% on him.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nonetheless, it's Lionesque.

Well, Matt's not really a scrambling QB and him doing it or not doing that play in college is irrelevant lol.

No, it's not. There's nothing Lionesque about it. It was a fumble.....that's it. It's a play that you see happen in the NFL. Not a lot but it happens.

It means don't do it. Run or fall down.

Or get the ball in the hands of your playmaker. That's what he was trying to do. The ball hit Johnson in the fucking hands, you doofus!!!

He's two feet away. QB suppose to me make better decisions.

I don't give 2 shits how far away he was. Kerryon was obviously calling for the ball and he had his hands up ready for it. He flat out dropped it. I'll admit, it's not the most ideal play to risk that but it's not like KJ was looking the other way when the ball was coming at him. He was ready for the ball and fucking dropped it. CATCH THE BALL!!!!

How often you see a pitch fumble 6? Lionesque..

How often? Not too often but it's probably happened more than you think lol.

Possibly, still Lionesque.
