Ponder... lookin, lookin, lookin... bailing... 4th down.

[yezzir]

At least Ponder stayed in pocket there.

[dead_poet]

Ouch.

With time. Couldn't find anyone.

[denburch]

Horrible play calls and execution.

[mondry]

Sigh, I mean it's the lions but really? run run pass musgrave? same old same old musgrave.

[Hunter Morrow]

Great stop for Detroit.

[S197]

Sigh, he had a pocket and bailed again.

[King James]

Worst offensive playing calling ever

[allday1991]

Sigh, I mean it's the lions but really? run run pass musgrave? same old same old musgrave.

Not surprised, still has a little business card as a playing call book.

[Canuck]

they will start calling play action in the 4th when the game is out of reach

[admvp]

I don't complain about play-calling as much as some others on here, but you don't follow a 78-yard TD run with 2 more runs. You use this thing called play action, where you fake the handoff and then pass.

Run-run-pass following the long run. That's just... no.

Good to see Ponder looks the same too.

[Lash Man]

Sigh, I mean it's the lions but really? run run pass musgrave? same old same old musgrave.

Leopard can't change its spots !

[PurpleKoolaid]

3rd and 11 and Mr Happy feet stares down his primary WR, and then runs....some things never change

[soflavike]

Maybe it's not that our receivers can't get open... maybe it's that they can't get open enough for Ponder to feel he can get the ball to them. Ponder's lack of confidence in his own arm might be a big factor in our overall lack of passing potency.

[King James]

this has the making of being a high scoring game.

Yeah for the Lions. Because outside of Peterson our offense cant do ####
