Four passes there was no good. I know they were trying to beat the two-minute but they could have gotten a quick run on first or second down and still probably had time.
Refs saw it was a "free play" and decided they were done for the rest of the sequence.
I'll add that I will never, ever, ever understand designed rollout plays that telegraph exactly where the play is going. Slow-developing, hardly deceptive.
They didn't design one play for their monster receiver in multiple 1v1 situations. What exactly is the plan there?
Oh, a defensive player can land all of their body weight on a QB now? That rule has been in place for years.
Bledsoe Marino game I think in Miami, shit, I can remember the couch I was sitting on for that one
He tried to role off but there was another player there preventing it. Come on that was a terrible call.
I’m aware of the rule, it’s a ridiculous one. And the penalty in general is way over-called, IMO.
Helps when the other QB completes every single one of his passes at a 16.2 YPA.
It's amazing how important a good QB is to NFL success. With Tua they're a very dangerous, explosive team. Without him, they're a complete train wreck. Even with all the exact same surrounding talent
The entire box score is misleading.
Seattle outgunned them 516-389, had 6 first downs by way of Detroit penalty, and a 34:04 to 25:56 edge in time of possession.
But ... as Cellar-Door said, the Lions were incredibly efficient on offense. They had six touchdowns, and five of those drives were fewer than double-digits in number of plays.
