Like death by 1000 cuts. The D is going to get tired and we can sure see why Pipkin is a journeyman QB.

Boy, this is sure a step down from the first half of the season.

 Flintoft gets a roll and Alford fumbles the ball around a bit and they still get a small return. Special Teams👎👎
So far Alford is averaging 11.8 on returns while Flintoft is averaging 51.0 on punts and 42.3 net which ain't shabby.

Lions are without their number one QB and down to #3 and the D has been absolute junk.

Game over. Sadly much much uglier than I hoped.

And I think the lights begin to dim on this game with another Riders TD.

The D has been out on the field a lot more than they have in previous games and I think it is beginning to show. They have blitzed and been burned, they have rushed 4 and have been okay but this last drive we are beginning to see missed tackles and bigger gaps.

 What the heck was the difference on the earlier play when the Riders were in the no yards zone?
We didn't challenge
Go Lions!

Because………. Pipkin IS horrible.

Such a promising season flushed down the toilet.

Hope the kid makes it back next year.

Hard to get a read on how O'Connor is going to be but Pipkin is definitely not the answer.
