3 key stats to this loss
Posted on 12/6/16 at 10:17 am
Posted on 12/6/16 at 10:17 am
1) Penalties Lions 6-39yds. Saints 10-83
Lions 3 1st downs by penalty. Saints 1 1st by penalty.
If you give your opponent 3 unearned 1st downs and 83 free yds. Penalties are drive killers if you are on offense and drive extenders if you are on defense. This team is not good enough to afford 10 penalties to any other team.
2)Lions- 42 pass att. 23 rush att.
Saints 44 pass att. 12 rush att.
No balance on the offense. We were in this game
up to the last 5 minutes. Which leads us to....
3) Time of possession
Lions 36:52
Saints23:08
We gave them almost a whole free quarter of a game to beat us. These were areas we should have been able to control and we didn't. We beat ourselves again.

I think the loins lead the league in time of possession.

It was our own doing in this game though. 3rd and short, 5 wide. We could have done a QB sneak for a first down and got cute.
We're usually so great at extending drives and staying on the field, but when the Lions continuously got pressure we went to screens instead of trying to run the ball.
And on 4th and 1 from midfield, we should be going for it almost every single time
Ingram averaged 7.8 ypc in the 1st half with runs of 7, 2, 0, and 22
The holding calls on offense were killers

"We beat ourselves again."
So...... we went 1-1 this weekend?

Deserved penalties you mean. Officiating was very questionable in the game.

Clete Blakeman's Crew:
Lions 6 penalties for 39 yards.
Saints 10 penalties for 83 yards.
And when the refs allow the Saints' opponent's offensive line to hold and the opponent's secondary is allowed to hold and interfere with Saints WR's, game over.

Which is amazing since their run game isn't exactly stellar.

Stop blaming the refs. These calls tend to even out.
Kelemente was getting all he could handle at the o-line and the other calls could have gone either way.
i.e. the calls on Breaux. It's time for us to see things as they are and not how we wish they were.
This team is young and inconsistent. You have to be disciplined enough to avoid the penalties as much as possible and patient enough to stick to your game plan. It really hurt pass protection having Armstead out and they went to the well too many times through the air. These are the facts.

If they had scored t.d.s in the red zone instead of field goals it would have been a much worse arse whoppin.

How bout 3 Brees ints....

Forced throws. Trying to make something happen. Patience is a virtue. It also pays off.

That's what happens when you're under constant pressure and completely abandon the running game.
And lets be real, the 3rd interception had zero impact on the outcome of the game.

Thanks, that's where I heard it.

I'd say -3 in the TO margin should be the number one stat

The turnovers sure do take away your ability to score.
