6 of 7. Is that what it is six of seven? Yes, and they are
seven and seven
from losing six of seven
to winning, six of seven, they have even their record with
a win over the New York Jets. Sack Wilson,
not exactly what they had hoped in his return. Although
the Jets they had a chance, they had a chance, you know, it came
down to
and I gotta love the guts that Dan Campbell has. We saw
the penne Sewell?
Play to ice the Vikings game on Third and seven. The throw. And
then we saw fourth and inches
game on the line
down 1713.
It's the,
it's the,
you know, we say the word all the time, I just feel
self-conscious about saying it. Now, there's a certain title
for this. It's the OS dash, dash, T screen and
mile.
I don't know if you've ever seen this clip.
Kevin gilbride, the former NFL offensive coordinator and head
coach coordinator of the Giants teams that won a couple of
Super Bowls. He used to be part of our afternoon show
and the Vikings used to play like that against the Packers
89 years ago. And he was explaining it and
he said they call it the oh,
excuse my language mom s*** screen,
its type he actually stopped it went, didn't just come out of
his mouth, he said oh excuse my language mom.
And that's what They call it that, it's everything flows,
one way a guy leaks out, and all the defensive players they
own it, and off, he goes, what a moment to use that.
And boom Lions take the lead,
hold off the Jets.
And now they are seven and seven, it, it's
it's one of the it's hard
to stand out in such a crazy year, but it really is one of
the more amazing stories that we've seen this season. Oh, it
totally is. And, you know, when you get that vote of
confidence,
That Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes got from ownership,
you know, I guess it now is about seven weeks ago, because
they were 1 in 6, and it was basically like a stick with
this, we believe in this process and now, boom. You're
seeing the results and it's really, really impressive to
see what that Detroit Lions team is now doing, I mean to go
to the Meadowlands and defeat
the Jets and defeat that defense especially with that
particular play. You know, we talk about Dan Campbell and
the stones that he's got, they go up for it. On 4th down a lot,
but it's also the play design in the play execution
when you have things like that. And I think Ben Johnson is done
as good. A job as an offensive coordinator, is anybody in
the entire National Football League this year? You really really
see the meshing of the Personnel,
right with the scheme. And how do we use our guys to be
the most effective that they can be in certain situations mean to
use been a soul as they did last week and then to have
something else that is sort of run off. Put that
in a critical situation this week, right? Where you getting
guys going in motion and it's 4th down and inches. These
things all roll into one another. So
you know, you see jerk off. Looking right. Initially boom.
That thing is locked off, he goes back to the left and oh by
the way
there's your tight end and he's just going to rumble on down
the field. The Jets defense is so good that you don't expect
to see that happen against them. So to me, the fact that
the Detroit Lions are doing what they're doing, it really
is. Oppressive even if they don't make it
to the postseason
once upon a time, there was a late season press conference
with former Colts coach. Jim Mora the Elder and he was asked
about playoffs and he went into his epic playoffs rant. Here's
Dan can win a game of the Seven and
Seven Lions who have won. Plenty of games. Lately being
asked about the possibility of Detroit making the playoffs
here. He is.
It can happen, you know, just do your job and
you know, you can't honed in on at, what if we don't, what if
we You know.
Now, what do we do? Make this player, what if we get no, you
just go make the play line up and cut it, Loose.
This is something that I can't quite figure out what Dan
Campbell, although, I guess it applies yesterday because he
was out in the cold. He's always got that red nose of
I was just out in the cold, even when he wasn't just out in
the cold,
I don't get it but he always has it. But yesterday he
definitely had a reason because he was out in the cold and
Jared Goff Jared Goff.
Remember when the narrative used to be can't play in the cold
Not funny a 500-yard yesterday, remember it? I yeah, I lived it
and couldn't well,
and you know what? It may come down to week, 18
lions at Packers. It may very well be. One of them is in and
one of them is out as a wild-card in the NFC, the way
things, possibly are tracking
currently. So good news for the Lions, very much alive
doing their best, to steal a spot
from the Commander's
or the Giants. Those are the two
Spots that are currently up for grabs. And those two teams are
going to talk about them coming up in just a little bit but
those are the two teams. They're still clinging
to the final two spots. The lines may be able to pick one
of them off.
