White is running well in the first half. Lions should continue utilizing him the second half

Pretty easy to see why these are 2 teams at the bottom of the league. Only difference that I can see is that we are paying way more for our QB than the other guys.

3 1/2 games in. Not a very good team.
Playing Toronto who had 5 days rest and lost their starting QB and we are tied with 3 points?
Booooo

It's not one player but it sure is how these play together.
Why the Lions changed the OL from last week is beyond astounding.
Why there is such a limited, vanilla offence is even more astounding as there is little to no variation on the themes. Forde said it has been predictable and oh man is it ever.
Reilly is uni-dimensional man - all he ever wants is to drop back and toss and moving the pocket is beyond his belief set.
Carter is not a burner and the pass routes simply don't get him or others open fast enough as the pass protection isn't there as the rushers all know where to find our QB.
God forbid that we employ two backs and vary the theme to keep the DEF on their toes. If they know they don't have to defend the LOS for the runs and only focus on the RECs it's a piece of cake for even average defenders to shut them down.
Sanchez on Chamblin's pre-game and how he cringes at the pre-game speeches said he was fired up by the "put your (family) name on the game" theme had the opposite effect on me. It was linked to family but it sounded too individualistic for me. Focus on the keys to your play - the 3 to 5 things you must focus on to win.
Has Mike Benevides decided to black or is my TV facked. In some worlds he'd be accused of blackface lol.? Actually I wondered if MTL would have called him when they fired their HC and made suggestions more coaches might leave.

My final prediction:
GAME WILL END IN A RECORD SETTING SCORE haha..
All points will be FG or maybe a single if one misses lol.

Jarious Jackson must have lost a lot of sleep coming up with this first half game plan.
Hopefully, more fans in hindsight, are arriving at the conclusion that, in 2018 we did not have a quarterback problem with Lulay or Jennings but rather a Jarious Jackson RPO problem. The same issues remain: our receivers can't get open and our offensive lineman are struggling to pass block in this RPO scheme. Oh, and the quarterback is under a lot of pressure too.
Interesting that Reilly is experiencing the same type of challenges that Lulay and Jennings faced last season.
Our offence should be improved in the second half. Just too much offensive talent to be held to a field goal, even with this pathetic offensive scheme (Really Pathetic Offence means RPO).
Jennings and Lulay had some big games last year and Reilly will also have to find a way to step up and make plays in order to overcome.
