Fourth quarter review

…Rocky McIntosh is playing better in the second half, more physical. He caused the fumble in the backfield by coming through very, very hard. H.B. Blades remains in the game.

…Matthew Stafford is showing some of his flaws. He is not the most accurate passer and it has shown up in the second half. On the series from inside his own 15-yard line, he missed two open receivers. They required more touch than he is capable of at this point.

…Chad Rinehart is the least of Washington’s problems. He’s actually been relatively quiet since the first quarter and that’s a good thing.

…OK, it was slow motion, but it sure looked like Moss’ facemask was pulled on his third-down catch. Bad call. But should one bad call ruin this game for the Redskins? No. Their wounds are mostly self-inflicted.

…Hunter Smith has put this defense in one great spot after another with his punts. They’ve done very little to capitalize on it.

…Thought Albert Haynesworth got held on the Chris Horton pass interference penalty.

…Stafford has done a nice job of staying composed. It’s shocking that the Redskins could not force a turnover against him. It helps to have a major playmaker like Calvin Johnson. Heck, if Stafford were more accurate, the Lions would have had more points.

…Great job by Campbell driving the Redskins downfield. Antwaan Randle El did a nice job on the touchdown drive, using his quickness and making a terrific sideline catch.

…Who knew that Rock Cartwright was the answer to the red zone woes?

…Give the Lions coaches credit; they played to win the game on their last drive, with the bootleg pass by Stafford.

…The Redskins were trying to get one more first down on that last play, but the Lions had the outside covered. So if Ladell Betts went out of bounds, they would have lost it on downs. If he gets the first down, game’s over. Easy play to second guess; why try to pitch the ball twice with 8 seconds left? But this game was lost long before that pitch.

…Let the speculation begin.
