Even when the Lions had a 12 point lead I didn't think the Lions would hold on and they didn't. They were in a soft zone coverage and Mike Reilly took advantage.
Agreed. Thought the Lions got soft on defense when they had a 16 pts lead & clock ticking.
But it all fell apart.
A perfectly placed pass & DB coverage on this play was near perfect.
Happened with 4 minutes to go on long bomb to Walker at the sidelines. Out at the 1 yd line I think it was.
Then they go down again & throw a 20 yd ( ?) pass to Bowman.
Then they get the 2 pt conversion to tie up the game.
In OT Esk again get the score on a pass to ( is his name Watson ? anyways another tall reciever like clones of Walker / Bowman ...tall fast good hands runs good routes ) Lions last chance & Jennings rushed the throw because he was going to be sacked. Ball thrown short of the target / game over.
Lions just were so good early in the season & then average in the middle & then terrible in the final 1/3 of the season.
Must be frustrating for GM coach Wally B players fans...
Like something like Ottawa losing so many close games.
