Ford Field. Week one. Sunday night. What’s the Lions first play from scrimmage?
I say it’s a deep bomb to Jamo right off the bat. 80 yard TD pass….

My money’s on a kickoff

@TNutZz are you writing these down and keeping receipts? That’d be fun.

12 personnel, Ace formation. Montgomery runs between Zeitler and Sewell on a play that traps Ernest Jones.
14 yard gain.

Well I was just going to say Montgomery to the left for a first down but I suppose @jane_doe beat me to it.

Tackle eligibie double reverse flea flicker!!! It will go for a TD to Manu, but will be called back for “failure to report.” This time the refs have it correct, because Manu will not even show up on the reported active gameday roster. Dan just wanted to send a message!

We line up in I formation with jack fox as FB
as a lead blocker, he hospitalizes 3 defenders and the rams decide to forfeit
Monty gains 53 on the only play from scrimmage. Lions win the first scoreless game in NFL history.

Being at home, on the Sunday night opener, I’ve got to think DC wants to set a tone early. I would be surprised if it was anything other than a pass play designed to get a 1st down. When they connect, that place is going to go crazy.

I think they go with 21 formation. Gibbs, Monty, ARSB, Jamo and LaPorta on the field at the same time. Give the DC something to think about.
1st play Gibbs go into motion opens up the middle for a 23 yard Monty run.
