I just don't see how anyone can have watched the Lions game and not had that takeaway.
Guys - we SAW 2 hours later what happens when a team that has the ball on its racket refuses to play to the scoreboard.
To me, that's the end of the argument. The Lions were a road underdog and got a double digit lead. The refused to play like it. They did that stupid ****ing thing that coaches often SAY they're gonna do and they "Treated it like a 0-0 game...."
Why? It's not. You have a half of the game in the books and you know more about what you're working with than you had coming into the game. You have a lead and some margin to deal with.
So USE that knowledge and that margin. You don't get extra points for winning by 10 vs. 7.
Don't pretend like it's 0-0. Act like you're up. Go win the game by 1 if that's what it takes.
