Three weeks after firing their offensive coordinator after a dismal week 1 showing against GB, the Lions' offense is showing increased improvement and confidence. Even though they scored 0 TDs for the first time since his hiring in week 2, the offense dominated the game showing ultimate control of the aerial game, completing almost 80% of their passes, while more than doubling the Bears' time of possession. They also showed that their OC's philosophy of using short slants and quick hits can cover for their lack of a run game. As the GM continues to figure out how to improve the running attack of this team, the OC is confident QB Ben Roethlisberger's quick thinking and accuracy, combined with the WR's excellent hands, can overcome any shortcomings on the ground.
On the other side of the ball, the defense continued showing their dominance, allowing just 116 yards total and 3 points. Even more astounding is the minuscule 19 yards allowed on the ground. The addition of the quality, veteran LBs Lewis and Washington to Detroit's 3-4 formation is showing great dividends to the risk of picking up the aging linebackers.
With the looming showdown with the defending Super Bowl Champion Redskins, the Lions coach is very excited about the chance to test his team to their very limits. Hopefully his game plan of ball control and staunch defence can continue against Coach Tilly and the Washington Redskins
Back-up leads packers on 4th quarter comeback, Lions escape
After dominating the game one both sides of the ball through the first half, a second half QB change brought life to a down and out Packers team. Starters Ben Roethlisberger was Superman to Kevin O'Connell's Bizarro Superman; there couldn't be a more disparate play between two quarterbacks. After a pick-6 by Ross to end the first half, and then a follow up pick to start the second half, the Packers coach Stein made the move to the backup. Detroit coach Cessna had earlier played a scrimmage with the Packers, and noted how well their back-up QB LeFevour played in that game. When Coach Stein decided to pull the trigger and bring in the back-up with comfortable 20-3 lead for the Lions, a sense of impending doom came over Coach Cessna. Inevitably, LeFevour was able to find the seam in the zone coverage that had been so effective for most of the game, netting 4 total INTs. Throughout the 4th quarter, LeFevour honed in on WR Parker, scoring 2 straight TDs within mere seconds, as Ben Roethlisberger fell apart, turning the ball over twice within seconds. Eventually, with Dan at the helm, the Packers forged ahead of the Lions, 24-23, with 2 minutes to play. Getting the ball back on their own 20, the Lions felt they could if they could convert at least one first down, they might have a chance. As that first down came, the Lions continued to march down the field, eventually kicking a last second field goal to end the game, 26-24.
With an excellent first half defensively and offensively, the Lions GM walked away from the game very optimistic about the 2-1 Lions' chances this season, however Coach Cessna noticed a disturbing trend in his veteran QB's play when they have the lead: Sloppiness. However, a second trend was noticed when the Lions are behind: Heroics.
