I know they were missing Quinn and Johnson. But Detroit was starting a rookie RG, missing their starting TE an starting a 3rd string RB.
Their pass rush and red zone defense simply aren't nearly what we've seen from them in recent years.
The failed TD before halftime (AT LEAST run that over your right side....) and Stafford's short TD with two guys hanging in him probably were the difference.
I think Keenum deserves a lot of praise today, personally.
I agree with everything said. GW needs to scrap the base nickel/dime defense because the D can't stop the run. I think it's a way of camouflaging the deficiency of cover DB's in the secondary and lack of LB depth.
