2012 NFL Playoffs: Saints Vs. Lions Open Thread #2

Given how quickly the first thread has filled up, I thought it would be pertinent to start a second thread for the game. Thus far, this has been a pretty wild affair even though the score doesn't necessarily reflect a shootout per se. The Lions are hanging onto their lead but have missed out on some opportunities to put more points on the board.

For now the pace of the game would seem to favor the Lions. As we head into the second half, it will be interesting to see if the Lions can keep the Saints from getting hot. The two turnovers were huge but the Lions were unable to get any points off either one. The upside for the Lions is that you could argue they put points on the board in the two most important drives of the game. They scored a touchdown on the first drive of the game and then they added a touchdown in the drive immediately after the Saints scored.

The Saints get the ball to start the second half, so we'll see if they can crank up the tempo a bit and get it more to their liking.

Lions with wise game plan

They limited each team to 2 possession per quarter. Though doing it with passing, that’s how the Panthers beat the Greatest Show in Turf Rams in the ’03 playoffs.

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

by SpurredOn on Jan 7, 2012 6:41 PM PST reply actions  

They could do that becaue

their own offense performed well and didn’t have the same stalls on drives like they did a few weeks ago.

The best remedy to facing a good offense is the same as always. Keeping the ball and scoring yourself.

NFL Playoff rules too complicated

I’d honestly be a fan of just continuing sudden death OT where the 4th quarter ended,

by brundylop on Jan 7, 2012 6:43 PM PST reply actions  

given how often the team who wins the coin toss wins the game

I understand why they changed it. You shouldn’t lose a playoff game because of a coin toss

That's a reflection of poor defense.

Teams who have a bad defense should have to pay for that.

why should one side of the ball benefit in an OT

while the other is punished? That is the antithesis of regulation time competition

Jump ball in basket ball is just as 50/50 as a coin flip.

not necessarily

all it takes is one drive and then you don’t even have the opportunity to respond. It’s a bad rule and that’s why they changed it?

by salary_cap on Jan 7, 2012 6:52 PM PST up reply actions  

wow...

Defense being high on anyone’s priority list is not even relavent to the conversation. Just because a team can overcome it doesn’t mean that they should have to. It’s about the rules being fair.

it's extremely relavent

it’s an example of how a team can get screwed and not even have an opportunity to respond. At least if the other team got the ball, they could try to overcome the bad call.

your whole rational seems to be that you can still win if you lose the coin toss

by Andrew9erfan on Jan 7, 2012 7:04 PM PST up reply actions  

your're assuming

that teams can lose in OT on first possession cause they have a bad defense. IN one drive, any thing can happen.

As brundylop just posted

Since the rule change to move kickoffs up in 1994, teams that win the coin toss win 60% of overtime games. That’s significant.

it’s almost certain that the team who wins the toss will win the game. Just play an extra quarter and whoever is ahead at the end wins.

Uh

If a coin flip leads to the team with possession winning 60% of the time it is quite clear the coin flip is not actually 50/50 for winning. The coin flip should not determine the winner.

I disagree

what’s the percentage of coin-toss winners who win OT?

I think it’s startlingly close to 50%.

The real reason for changing was that one decent return/offensive play and a FG ended the game in 2 unexciting minutes

The raw statistics are pretty close. Coin Toss winner wins 52% of the games.

But since 1994 (moving up the kickoff line) it’s 60%. That’s significant.

is there a breakdown of our penallties by type this year?

I’m willing to bet is is mostly false starts. Being at home should def. help us. The saints will make plays they always seem to, but do you think they are gonna be willing to go on 4 and 2, 4th and short on SF at home?

If this is the Saints at home, then there is seriously no reason to be scared of them.

All the better that they win so we can crush them at Candlestick.

Only thing to worry about will be those screens, but I have a feeling Harbaugh, Fangio, and Tomsula will be on top of it.

He did not choke. That last pick was in junk time when they were down by a lot and in an obvious throwing situation.

Stafford had a decent game on the whole, in my opinion. At the very least, he did not “choke”.

I just want Alex Smith to have a huge game in the playoffs so people get off of his back. He’s not the best quarterback in the league, but he’s certainly not the worst. Not that we should settle for average, but it think Alex’s ceiling is far higher than most give him credit for. I look at him like a 27 year old second year quarterback. He isn’t Peyton Manning. He wasn’t ever going to figure out everything on his own and become a top 10 quarterback. Now that he has someone telling him how to succeed, i think he can take that step. Maybe next year, maybe the year after, but i think he can do it with coaching. I hope we find out, with the condition that the team does not have better, more viable options.

Could be

But I think NY is much better overall, assuming that Eli plays his better self.

Maslow's theory of higher needs does not apply to Patrick Willis. He only has two needs: tackling people and finding people to tackle.

Speaking of Irenes, how about that hurricane?

Too soon?

I bet Calvin Johnson clones

Would solve all the Lions’ defensive problems

Now ESPN and NFL network can talk all week about how..

the 49ers don’t stand a chance, and Defense is dead and outdated. Quarterbacks are the only thing that wins games in the league, Alex Smith sucks, Brees has the biggest Weenie in the NFL except for Brady and Rodgers, The 49er O is terrible. Et cetera, et cetera.

Sufficiently advanced sarcasm is indistinguishable from being an @$$hole.

My advice

don’t concern yourself with that, it makes the niners sound like the neglected step child.
