Call that to the other side and I like that play.

Probably getting technical about a stat with AP running to the right, but right now Ponder needs to be comfortable and rolling to his right would be much more ideal.

Well at least we have Walsh and he doesn't suck.

Ponders play, and this play calling is going to give me an ulcer.

Because they have been out there 85% of the time. Fatigue is real.

when I seen the 3 and 1 I thought they where going to roll right to Rudolph, but Musgrave calls a roll to the left, Ponder misses dumb call.

Another inaccurate throw there by Ponder. He throws it accurately Carlson can make that catch as the defender was going to the ground.

Eh. Good play call just to the wrong side. Lions been stuffing AP all day so I felt PA was a good choice.

Why is he passing at all on a 3rd and 1?
But yeah, why roll out in the harder direction?
