Why was McGee covering Williams all day long? Where was "the playmaker" Nate Clements? It was evident very early in the game that McGee was going to struggle trying to cover Williams and Buffalo's defensive brain trust failed to adjust the game plan. I just don't see the point in paying Clements all that money to cover the number two WR. Hell, the Lions could have thrown the ball to Williams every play if they wanted to. I'm so sick of seeing players have career days against this defense I could puke. It had been 22 games since the Lions had a 100 yard rusher, that is until they played the Bills yesterday. And that was with three of the Lions o-lineman out due to injury. Pathetic!

We know where Nate was, he was covering his reciever, that's why we didn't see him.

Re: Why was McGee Covering Williams?
I have been wondering the same thing.. Detroit was so predictable in their passing game I'm baffled while Fewel didnt just have Clements find Williams on every play and line up against him.
Its either bad coaching, or something really funny is going on none of us know about with nate.

Nate got beat by Williams once early in the game. I have to wonder if that made the coaches decide to put McGee on him instead.

Re: Why was McGee Covering Williams?
Most teams have left corner backs and right corner backs. It's not uncommon to keep your best CB on one side. With that said, McGee made a couple big plays against Williams also. Our secondary did a realllllly good job, considering the fact that our DL couldnt get pressure on kitna, even with 3/5 of Detroits OL being backups.

Roy Williams is a beast, 99% of the DB's in the league would have trouble covering him. Martz did a great job moving him around to manipulate our zone coverage and McGee did a decent job considering the size disadvantage. McGee also had a definite pick if Roy didn't instantly convert himself into a DB on one play.
Once again people are getting caught up in just looking at the W-L column. Detroit is a good team that lost to some very good teams and lost a shootout to GB when Farve's O-line came through for once and gave him the time he needed to shred a defense. Detroit's D also improved drastically as of late after DC Henderson simplified his scheme once he noticed players struggling with the current playbook.
Yes, it's a game we could have and perhaps should have won but we can't lose focus on what this team really is. A very young team with both new offensive and defensive schemes struggling to find their own identity. We should have known there would be a lot of ups and downs this season. What's important is that we have a very good coaching staff to help teach these youngings how to learn from and overcome the downs part. To say we suck and that the season is lost at this point is downright ignorant so enjoy your bliss while you still have it.

Re: Why was McGee Covering Williams?
If none of our corners could cover Williams(Nate should be able to if he's "the playmaker"), they should have doubled teamed him. Nobody else on that receiving core was much of a threat, but no, they left him one on one most of the time. Back to nate, I don't think champ bailey, who's a better corner, would have or has had any trouble with Roy Williams.
