Brutal non-review on the Garrett touchdown. He did not survive contact. I thought every "touchdown" was reviewed?

Heart breaking after playing so well defensively.

Interesting to watch half time and how our Leos are screwing up blocking assignments. One example shown was Lumbala, who should have picked up the outside blitz but stays inside to help out the tackle. Harris picks up the outside guy as Lumbala tries to help outside fruitlessly. Then the inside linebacker delay blitzes and sacks Pierce.

Lumbala should have picked up the outside guy and Harris would have picked up the delayed blitzer. Lumbala screws the play up twice.

DBs that can't catch in pro ball is like pro soccer players who have the touch of an elephant and can't receive a ball without giving off a rebound. Oh right the soccer player won't be in the pros if they can't receive a pass.

Only in football do DBs play yet can't catch.

Imagine if Larose and then Parks got the sure INTs. Instead it was a confidence builder for Durant.

Just loved the 2 Q innovative Lion run packages. Short yardage worked great too.

Riders receivers offside on just about every play and they flagged Chris Wilson there.

Re: Riders vs. Lions Game Thread

There is poor officiating and then there is crooked officiating. This is too consistent ...

Defence did it's job by holding the Riders to only 3. Will be interesting to see if the Lions made any adjustments to the offence at the half.

A good return by Brown nullified by another stupid penalty.

Re: Riders vs. Lions Game Thread

We're making mistake after mistake...dropped pass by Harris, shanked punt by McCallum, offside on defense, illegal block on a nice return by Brown....we need to do something offensively now..

Re: Riders vs. Lions Game Thread

We can't run the football...so calling for the run isn't working either...

Nice throw to Ernest Jackson...who has been used a lot today so far..

Anyone still wondering if DeMarco can throw the deep ball?

Frustration issue with Harris?

Nice toss to Moore by Demarco.

Noticing that he has to go over to JC as JC won't talk to the helment.
