DAVID MONTfuckingGOMERY!!

 

[cornwalls@6]

Bang!!

 

[McBride11]

People are watching at Ford Field?

 

[pokey_reese]

So, in this moment, who thinks that the Lions win this game?

 

[Euclis20]

So, in this moment, who thinks that the Lions win this game?

Gotta be like 10% of the viewing public.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

DET setting up for the go-ahead TD, leaving 5-6 minutes on the clock for Mahomes. Yikes.

Edit: er, 7 minutes.

YOu can't really fully run out hte clock based on where they started. Best to see what Mahomes does this drive then have time to respond to that.

So, in this moment, who thinks that the Lions win this game?

Nope. I’ve seen the script.

 

[JOBU]

So, in this moment, who thinks that the Lions win this game?

Nah. Seen this story before

 

[lars10]

Gotta be like 10% of the viewing public.

Why that high?

 

[Shelterdog]

Am I delusional or does Mahomes moves a lot worse than he used to? Don't get me wrong he's a smart and effective scrambler, he just looks very herky jerky out there to me.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Way too much time. Smart money still heavy on KC.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

It’s like the cousin of people who advocate for letting the opposition score with 2 min left, up 4 points.

 

[kartvelo]

Seven minutes i just the right amount of time for a KC TD and a failed last-minute drive for DET.

 

[McBride11]

So, in this moment, who thinks that the Lions win this game?

Do they have to start playing by the rules?

 

[Dollar]

Way too much time. Smart money still heavy on KC.

All it takes is one bad drop on 3rd down and the momentum shifts to Detroit.

edit: or a horrific gadget play

I think he always looked like he's halfway limping out there.

 

[rodderick]

Why get cute here? What a dumb play call.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Taste it, Rice!

 

[Remagellan]

Stupid call.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Good punt for the Lions, kicked back a bit.

 

[Ale Xander]

Or whatever that was

 

[Garshaparra]

Wooooo Riverboat Andy eats it!

 

[Warning Track Speed]

Now can Detroit kill the game?

 

[scott bankheadcase]

Taking the ball out of Mahomes’ hands seems like suboptimal play calling.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Lions are winning this

 

[cornwalls@6]

Damn!! Great play!

 

[Remagellan]

Lions need a score here.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Protect the ball and run out the clock. Lions can see the promised land.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Matt Nagy is a fucking bozo.

 

[Ale Xander]

KC doesn’t get ball back

 

[cshea]

Time for that OL to go to work

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Am I delusional or does Mahomes moves a lot worse than he used to? Don't get me wrong he's a smart and effective scrambler, he just looks very herky jerky out there to me.

I think he just has Roethlisbergeritis.

 

[JOBU]

Lions are winning this

Doubtful

 

[patinorange]

Too cute.

 

[Justthetippett]

KC will miss Jones here...

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Can just see them falling in love with those plays in the film sessions. Detroit showed the last drive they were ready for it.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Protect the ball and run out the clock. Lions can see the promised land.

Yup. Gash em. Their DL maybe sucking wind, and didn’t get a blow there.

 

[cshea]

Immediately shit their pants

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

C'mon Lions, what the fuck.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Went OOB but I think it's worth it to erase that false start.

EDIT: Didn't matter due to just outside of 5 minutes, perfect!

 

[Ale Xander]

Whatever happens, good job by NFL to pick Lions lol

 

[pokey_reese]

"Everybody but the center"

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Gibbs second effort was sick

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Ross is the 11th different Chief to catch a pass tonight.

 

[rodderick]

Gibbs is too dynamic to lose that many snaps to Montgomery.

 

[Dollar]

Wow, it's almost like they should have been giving Gibbs the ball more often.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Kamara 2.0

 

[Garshaparra]

Gibbs gotta go down there, but awesome effort for the 1st

 

[kartvelo]

"Everybody but the center"

Apparently it has to be that many people false starting for the refs to see it.

 

[Remagellan]

Gibbs is too dynamic to lose that many snaps to Montgomery.

I'm sure part of it is that Montgomery is better at pass protection.
