Skins Down by Four at the Half
Weird, weird, weird game.
The holding penalties on Jansen hurt, and I question Zorn running just one play before the two-minute warning. I get his philosophy on not putting the other team back on the field, but this is a winless Lions team with a poor offense and defense.
I think you attack them with a no-huddle, but they still managed to overcome all the penalties and at least get a long field goal. All that standing around just seems to run counter to the tempo Zorn generally demands.
The Portis situation will be big news after the game for sure. I guess Fox reported he was pouting about playing time.
And it's time to cause a turnover or two and get in the end zone.
I just get the sense we haven't seen the last weird play of this game yet.

The runing game is looks ugly with out CS. They are getting yardage but the lions are able to get in the backfield fast.

CP will be alright - he probably just wants a 200 yard day.

Lions D should feel it more than ours due to the amount of time they been on the field.

I'd like CP to have a 200 yard, 3 TD game... but he needs to get the first TD to get three....

Let's go J Cam. Need a nice td to start this half off right on offense.

Heyer is good at pass blocking, but is still learning the running game. Or else he is not as athletic. But running game suffers with him in there. That's why JJ got his starting job back.
3 and out. Way to go, D.
Now let's take control of this game.

I don't get why we aren't punching in... do the Lions have some magic goal line stand juice? Every time we get within the 35, they tighten way the heck up. We move great until there....

17 of 21 for JC. Of the 4 incompletes, SM caught 2 OB, Cooley dropped one, can't think of the last one. JC is really on target.

I thought Cooley dropped two (one in mid-field, one on that viscious hit that would have gotten us 1st down at the 20) Awful return for ARE, looks like he lost 7 yards.

You don't ever go for two in the third quarter. Reason being in case they score a td and a fg before the game is over.

Billick is addressing his "Santonio" remarks and apologizing for those who aren't getting the game. Says it's because of Santonio Holmes being in the news too much this week.

Not worried about it. The will come out this second half and put this thing away. Zorn should have let CP get his the first half so he could rest him the second.
