Gibbs and Montgomery Power Lions Offense Again! | Colts vs. Lions Week 12 NFL Review | PFF

[@tylerkitchen476]

Richardson having a higher grade missing 20 throws and not throwing a touchdown than Goff is why people don’t take these grades seriously

[@jhoe164]

they obv have some massive flaws with their grading system lol.

[@mattdeyoung3942]

You didn’t even discuss how injured the lions were coming into this game how many starters were out and how many players they lost throughout the game and still got it done. The interior rush by Detroit was incredible and Alim McNeil and Reeder crashed the pocket 10 times throughout the game.

[@richardwaters5736]

They called off the dogs when they had a 3 position lead, Saving there bodies for Thursday

[@rrichardeditz]

they didn’t have a 3 score lead til late man, there entire team was in the game the entire time, not hard to watch bro

[@richardwaters5736]

@ played they clock, did put ball in danger, had Fox flip the field

[@tylerkitchen476]

Same thing they did against the packers, run the ball to preserve the lead when they would have scored 40

[@dougmichaelroossien9115]

Exactly 💯, but then they run their own agenda for their own purpose

[@peterz22thomas5]

Did ya'll ever stop to think if the Colts hadn't committed those penalties, the play would have been a Sack instead of a 25 yard gain?

[@jhoe164]

right? the reason the colts had those big plays in the first place was because of the penalties.

[@fillipsoccer5]

Or it would have been a couple field goals. Lions would still have won.

[@michaelwagner7445]

This! Did they watch the game?

[@thomasalexander8581]

Lions were never threatened in this game. The game was not closer than the score indicated. Lions could have blown them out. Colts were one dimensional and AR could not score in the red zone. Colts not only didn't score a touchdown but couldn't score a single point in the 2nd half. All Detroit had to do was pound the rock and run out the clock.

[@tw6224]

there were countless big plays that were called by for penalties some which were very questionable. There was also a touchdown and a big play dropped when the ball was placed the the colts players chest. If the colts covert those touchdowns without the little mistakes and numerous penalties this game would have been very close

[@JasonLovell-pv8ed]

​@tw6224 exactly, colts beat themselves with the mistakes, penalties & dropped passes especially the dropped td by olgeltree

[@scottmctaggart8171]

None of you mention the array of starters injured on the defensive side of the Lions. The Lions have so much depth and determination they just don’t let up.

[@shaun4111]

Why do they assume those plays still happen without committing the penalties and not that they happened because they committed a holding penalty to allow for those big plays to develop?

[@ShawnKennedy-w2i]

It's called cope.

[@49rizon]

Chances are, those plays went the way they did is because of the penalties that occurred. Just a thought.

[@Charlie-s4k4v]

I really enjoyed the discussion of "unrealized yards" due to penalties. It is an item often ignored.

[@ShawnKennedy-w2i]

It's usually a stat reserved for losers.

[@timothyshort5933]

Past the first quarter it never seemed likect Colts were in the game. Lions just played with the lead and to not make mistakes that would cost them.

[@michaelwagner7445]

I'm going to disagree that this felt like a 24-21 game. Never once felt doubt in my mind. Lions had control from about the 2nd quarter on. The most concerned I was during the game was with the various Lions injuries throughout, and not really anything the Colts did/were doing

How in the world does AR get a higher grade than Goff. PFF is trash rating system.

[@Tom-V]

Lions

[@JaredBruski]

Lions run the clock and media imeddiatly abandandoned the "they run the score up" narrative to "they couldnt even win the game by 4 possesions"

[@getgooddad]

So don't count penalties? What a dumb show.

[@xguy9999]

Closer than score indicated? Either it's the score or it's not.

[@ColdToiletSeats]

the Colt's didn't get a single TD lol Lions easily could of ran another TD at the end.

[@JasonLovell-pv8ed]

What they mean is that for people that didn't watch the game only look at the score it was more because the colts beat themselves & not because the Lions dominated them

[@michaelwagner7445]

​@JasonLovell-pv8ed huh? The Lions very much dominated. The Lions front stopped the Colts run game, and made them one dimensional. The Lions offense possessed the ball and dominated T.O.P. and scored in the Red Zone.

[@JasonLovell-pv8ed]

@michaelwagner7445 I get what you're saying, but the colts hurt themselves with penalties, they had at least 5 plays of 20+ yards called back cuz of stupid penalties & those were drive killers, olgeltree dropping a wide open td pass, Mitchell not getting his feet inbound on that big 40 yard pass, it was all the little stupid stuff that colts did wrong that made the score look it was just a dominant win by the Lions when that wasn't actually the case

[@michaelwagner7445]

​@@JasonLovell-pv8edagree to disagree I guess. The penalties happened because of the Lions pressure. Multiple times there were big plays that only happened because of a blatant hold. Otherwise without the 'smart' hold it was a sack and the plays never would have happened. That's part of the game. Ogletree is a self-inflicted wound, sure. But to act like drops don't happen is odd...turns out worse players drop passes and struggle in pass protection

[@rickjames4434]

point differential is double for lions over phily - lions will beat all commers - detroit has played a tougher schedule - no td allowed in last 10 quarters with half their defense on the ir - most of them including hutch will be back for the playoffs with fresh legs - whoever they play is going to need a lot of luck

[@ridavis5088]

How the F did richardson get a better pff than goff. I feel like PFF screws over pocket passers.

[@dougmichaelroossien9115]

Think they take themselves too seriously,... I've seen numbers out them which dont meet my eyes.

[@Djturnt]

No not closer than the scoreboard further than the scoreboard they couldn’t move the ball

[@dougmichaelroossien9115]

You cant add positive results when penaltues negated them. You can, but i wont take you seriously. My mistake coming here lol.

[@blueandsilver6060]

Yeah if anyone plays a perfect game then they would compete with the Lions. That's not saying anything. What if the Lions played perfect though?

[@Ogre77]

PFF really needs to learn how to grade QBs. In what world did AR outplay JG?

[@MikeParker86]

Goff is a dink donk thrower and game manager with tons of talent around him with a elite o line. AR didn't get sacked or throw a interception yesterday. Rolls reversed and Goff was on the Colts he would of got massacred. AR balled out penalties and dropped passes messed up his numbers

[@jhoe164]

@@MikeParker86 certainly caught some tough breaks but he clearly did not outplay goff.

[@MrAndrewLawrence420]

This guy obviously doesn’t know ball & doesn’t look at key players’ metrics…. Z Smith lined up in Cleveland the EXACT same ways he was lining up in Detroit yesterday- inside, outside, standing up both inside & outside

[@peterz22thomas5]

You guys are nuts. Richardson was embarrassingly bad yesterday.

[@paulrizza1457]

closer than the score indicated. Were you watching the game? Colts except for the first drive they did nothing. Second half all 3 and outs except for 1 turnover on downs, 50 yards rushing from backs, 170 yards in the air. If they did something good, it came back because of a penalty.

[@ColdToiletSeats]

So close that the Colt's didn't get a single TD lol Obviously these guys just watch highlights they can't watch every game.
