Just @ me next time!!

Just trying to have some fun thinking outside the box lol. Realistically, I know it can’t happen but a fun thought exercise. My guy @BobbyFootball75 shut me down right away tho 😂

I get into my car, and 97.1 the ticket is playing. The first thing I hear is that the Lions should run Juice Scruggs on running plays and have Cade Mays on passing plays, and when you run a play-action pass, the defense will be so confused.

This wasn’t a caller either 🤣

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

Feels like that game was just about what we expected.

Lions defense made plays when they needed to and hung on for the win.

Offense was great in the second half against that amazing defense.

Lots to talk about! Join me @971theticketxyt at 7:00 tonight and we'll discuss it all

Best drive of the day for #Lions

69 yards, 57 gained on ground. Lions ran for 40 total yards on 4 straight plays. Textbook play action on 1st & goal leads to TD.

Well done.

LOOK AT GOFF GETTING DOWN FIELD

#Lions Injury Update:

EDGE DJ Wonnum (Concussion) has been downgraded to Out.

DB Brian Branch (Concussion) has been downgraded to Out.

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

@Quinn_Stark Many people wanted it to be taunting. I think they're right. 1 or 2 OL guys doing the point it one thing, but like 8 of the 11 players danced all over the field. It probably should've been called

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

So in just 2 drives it is obvious the NFL is making up for missing this by having the tightest leash on the #Lions today

[NFL @NFL]

The penalty had the Lions offense dancing 😅

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

Lions get all the calls last week. Refs making up for it today. This league is horseshit.

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

Ah yes, just as we all predicted, RUTGERS has scored the most points of anyone this season against this #Michigan defense

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

2 weeks ago I discussed the eerily similar stats between the #Lions and the Bills. They're basically the same football team.

It's gotten even worse. The Vikings are the Bizarro Bills.

More on that tomorrow...

[Pistons Talk @Pistons__Talk]

Who does the pace favor right now?

Paul Reed “ I don’t know what that means but I’m just gonna say it favors us.”

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

@donjuan52002 @971theticketxyt The short answer, yes it's too late.

Many teams probably view the contract as an overpay (just look at his market in RFA, nobody wanted him), and DET wants to keep him anyways.

I see your point and am not necessarily opposed, just don't think it will happen

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

#RedWings trade may be in the works

[Max Bultman @m_bultman]

Larkin will not play tonight. McLellan says Shawn Horcoff will address the situation

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

In his tenure, Brad Holmes has made 3 deadline moves all coming on deadline day.

Gonna have to wait this one out #Lions fans

[Ryan Paganetti @RyanPaganetti]

We’re 12 days away from the NFL trade deadline.

Here’s when each active NFL GM has made in-season trades this close to the deadline, including deadline day.

Full GM careers included.

@jared_ramsey22 Still has the fastball

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

No love for Daniss Jenkins

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

All these shots happened on the SAME NIGHT 😭

Half-court buzzer-beaters are becoming routine 🔥

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

This is very well done, but has a major flaw

When factoring what happens if DET misses 4th & 1, it ignores that teams score on 41% of drives that start at the +25

This says 11% (?)

The risk of a TD allowed after failing to convert outweighs the reward of converting

[Jeremy Reisman @DetroitOnLion]

Really, REALLY enjoyed this post on POD's Feed comparing Dan Campbell's 4th down decision to Chipotle ingredients, plus a flow chart on decisions/outcomes.

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

@Section344Lions A. Game script. You stopped them all day including on 4/5 drives in second half

B. The defense is not perfect, but better

C. It's risk vs. reward. Teams score 82% of the time when the drive starts at the +25. Only 22% of the time from their own 30. You choose.

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

@CBrit24 But you'd be losing! That's my whole point!

You're giving up points (82% of the time) just to get another possession. One in which you're then forced to go the full length of the field and score.

Plus, based on what GB does, that score might only tie. It was WAY too risky!

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

How were the #Lions guaranteed to get the ball back?

GB used 1:24 on 3 & out (w/ an incompletion)

A 1st down + 3 more plays would've used another ~1:30. Then you're getting the ball down 3/7 w/ < 2:00

Yeah, you're likely to get it back (losing), but not a guarantee at all

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

@PoliticalDrinkr I like your point, but it's not about assessing downside/upside. It's about weighing the risk/reward of both.

To me, the risk of failing to convert and giving up a score outweighed the benefit of getting the first
