So I'll say this. The Lions being heavy favorites is justified, I think they'd be heavy favorites against most teams left in the playoffs, especially at home. However, with that said, I think the Commanders, for all their roster faults & talent deficiencies, have shown a blue print for how to win games, even against teams with superior talent on their roster (which to be fair, is a lot of teams). You keep the game close, you get deep into the 4th with the score within a possession. You bend but don't break on defense. Half time adjustments this season have been huge. You get the ball into Jayden Daniels's hands with the ability to win the game and he is more than likely going to deliver, no it isn't going to happen every single time, but at this point I am not betting against him with the game on the line.
Quinn today at his presser seemed to not be very concerned with the production in the run game which was.....interesting to say the least. I wish there was a way to get C-Rod in the game to see if the O-line is really that bad at blocking or if B-Rob is either hurt or lacking the visions some times to find the lanes. However what I've been told is that McNichols use on special teams keeps him active as 3rd RB over C-Rod.
