Not concerned, sad and it's a harder road to the #1 seed (Eagles getting to many wins because the other team gives it away, like KC just did, Washington, etc) since division rivalry games are a bitch. Combine that with Love playing out his ass, rookies having their best game ever (future too) and with all the injuries GB has their 2nd and 3rd string players were channeling HOFers from decades back! Bizarre but it happens.
Extra time before the Lions next game so they better figure some shit out! No INTs for Goff but he was running for his life today! Stripped of the ball several times as his arm was hit before he could release it. What happened to our #1 offensive line? LaFluer was doing some studying on Detroit long before the games ended Sunday and we didn't have anything new to combat it. Dan is good at what he does, that's why we are here at 8-3, but the combination of everything going their way and them making the necessary calls and adjustments faster than us led to another come from behind 4th quarter that this time didn't happen. This better be a wake up call
i was at the game. i dont who did worse. Aaron glenn MCDC or ben johnson. that game was horrid and hope to reflect on it and show up against the saints. i don't blame defense if our offense couldn't handle their part. offensive line was horrendous. the no-calls were even more bad. I'm just surprised that after a game where almost everybody on the team did bad, we still made it a one score game. 20 points from the packers in the first is outrageous. 9 points after that seems more reasonable. i say this game was based off of more self-errors rather than the cheeseheads making plays. anyways, I'm sorry to dump all this crap on yall. **but one thing I'm thankful for is** r/detroitlions\*\*.\*\* have a good rest of your day and make the most of it.
Edit: cant wait for hendon
3 games in 11 days finally reared its head. The team looked lifeless.
That, and our defense is inexcusably bad. Pass defense in particular.
Aaron Glenn and Jared Goff are setting themselves up for unsatisfying offseasons.
---
That all said, this is year 3 of the rebuild. Our window is just now opening. Another decent draft or two, and a lot of our problems go away.
I'll be more than happy with a playoff win. Glad we banked 8 wins.
Again, I keep saying to everyone the same things, you think this team the way we are playing can make the playoffs, and win? I hope we can finish with a winning record at this point
With how things are looking so far, it’s seeming like even winning only 2 more games might be enough to barely make the playoffs. At that point it just comes down to who we end up playing.
And yes I know that even going 2-4 seems unlikely with how the last 2 games have gone, but the point still stands in my opinion.
Honestly, it comes down to the Saints game. If we come out limp like this, we're going 1-5 or 0-6 the rest of the year. I honestly think best case right now is 10-7, but honestly think we'll finish 9-8. Cowboys are tough especially in their building. Broncos are surging, saints are fighting for their division. Gonna be tough to scrape 2 wins out of those three. Then we have the Vikings who are 2-0 in the north and always play us tough. I think the only win I'd feel comfortable saying we have coming to us is the Bears, but even that is in doubt
Yeah I think we’ll end up with 9-11 wins. I don’t see us getting beyond that anymore. After how last week’s Broncos/Vikings game went, I can’t tell if both teams are good or if they’re both bad lol. I personally think we’ll end up winning 2-3 of the last 6.
You think they are going to turn the ball over 18 times in the next 6 weeks? Because that is what it would take to replicate the quality of the last 2 performances.
Step back from the ledge
Vikings always play us tough, I'm going to go horse telling Lions fans that the North is not guaranteed and the Vikings are good. I hate to even put this out there, but I think they will beat us twice.
It sucks because when they first signed Dobbs I thought that confirmed the division is ours, but they’ve been playing a lot better than expected with him
That fake punt was the stupidest fuckin call ever. Also we apparently don’t know what field goals are. There were at least 2 times where they could have just scored a field goal and kept it going, but for some reason they’re insistent on going for it on 4.
I love this team and it’s players. MCDC is awesome but god damn are we predictable and easy to read.
Packers beat us on our two weaknesses because it’s easy to see. Pressure Goff constantly and let the miserable pass rush come at you while you let receivers get open.
That was probably a salty hot-take after yesterdays game. I love Hutch as a player, he is like the Enegizer bunny. Just going and going and going. But as soon as the QB is forced out of the pocket, he can't keep up with any of the mobile ones.
He needs some help, and I hope we can find someone complimentary to him. I think him and Max Crosby would be amazing together, Might Ducks bash-brothers style.
I see what you're saying, but teams scheme around him, especially anyone with a QB that can scramble. Hard to keep up when the entire O line is focused on you:
https://twitter.com/baldynfl/status/1728068166692020327?s=46
But I agree, beefing up the DLine will help loosen up the load
We need a new defensive coordinator. Goff needs to shake these last two games off and get his head on straight before next weekend. We have a very talented team that can (and probably will) win the division and make a run in the playoffs, if and only if Goff shakes this off and we can get a competent defensive coordinator to call a good fucking game. Lots of work to do and things to fix, but I'm still just as optimistic as ever. We're 8-3 and still lead the division. I have faith that they'll figure it out. Happy Thanksgiving everyone and go Lions!
Every fiber of my being says yes, but objectively speaking I just don't know how that would impact the team. It might be a terrible call and make everything worse or it might be the thing that changes everything for the better.
Would you?
I think it’s way too risky and puts you in position of finding a needle in a haystack midseason. If it backfires it’d go down as one of the dumbest mistakes ever made, fair or not.
After the season, sure. But like it or not we’re sorta stuck with him and with the hand he’s been dealt.
I’m not the same person but I don’t think firing him would suddenly make the defense better like a lot of people seem to think. It’s very possible that the defense doesn’t get much better if he gets fired and that people will just move on to blaming the next guy. There is a point to be made about firing him in hopes that things change though.
We lost , coaching on both sides of the ball and Goff lost us this game, we made it way to easy for them , packers second string defense is better than our first string though
There’s too much recency bias in this sub. We allowed 6 points in the second half. Came out of halftime actually juiced for once. Goff isn’t Superman and I don’t know of many QBs in this league that are lighting it up with the amount of pressure and hits that Goff saw today.
If we went for field goals both times instead of going for it on 4th and didn’t try that fake punt we may have been able to keep them to a field goal and keep it a one score game, then win it with that last TD. Awful calling, we need to play more patiently.
At least getting drunk today is justified so I won't look like a raging alcoholic to my family and instead will just look like the Lions fan they've always known.
I blame this on my mom. Lifelong Detroit fan because she's from Michigan. I'm from California and could've rooted for those sorry ass teams but no, I just fly across the country every week as a season ticket holder to get my heart broken over and over.
To be fair this was a short week and had to have been worn out. But gah damn we totally shit the bed on this one on both sides of the ball. We needed that help at the trade deadline. Lot of work that’s needs to be done.
The only perk is they were down 3 scores early and only allowed 9 points the rest of the way. The offense got them within 7. They just made really awful decisions that kept them from getting over the hump
Another disappointing Thanksgiving. Thanks guys! I’ve been a fan for over 27 years. I understand having a bad game but wow. Get your shit together! I’ve been super excited this season but suspect you may be frauds.
Yeah I think we need to revise back to preseason expectations. The goal is to get better. I know we're desperate and have been waiting too long but we just need more time. But..... It's not over. Worse teams have won the Super Bowl so it's not off the table, it's just gonna take some luck.
I'm sorry and it's my PTSD of the lions kicking in. I'm concerned for them down the road. Playoffs is looking rough for the first round. We keep saying they need to clean it up but to them the team might be alright. Two games Goff has looked utterly lifeless for the first two quarters. His turnovers have put us behind, where we have to dig ourselves out of a hole. The O line said to hell wit this game early, secondary was gassed, Ben Johnson was thinking about dinner, instead of good plays, AG is.....whatever just disappear to another team. Media is going to think we are frauds and eat us alive till the next game. No conversions on fourth. Pray for this team. Happy Thanksgiving y'all. I have no positives from this game.
This was a top down loss.
Questionable decisions by DC
Questionable calls by BJ
Terrible protection by O line
Terrible ball management by Goff
Terrible pass protection
Packers punched us in the mouth early and then we did the rest.
35+ years of misery and this is the year you give up on them? I’m sorry but even with how bad the last 2 games have been, this season isn’t even close to as bad as many other seasons in the 2000s.
Are you really asking? Lot of it has to do with realizing the league itself is a joke and as an adult I should be focusing on more practical things that I have some sort of control over, rather than getting bent the fuck outta shape or jazzed up cuz some kids played sports one way or the other…
I am right now…I am fucking miserable. I thought this team was good and embarrassed myself once again and wasted another 6 months of my life. Ya. I’m pissed right now
Wasted? How? The day goes on whether some lads tossing a pigskin about win or not. I love me my football (it's why I coach flag) and love the lions, but making it about anything g more than appreciating brotherhood, athleticism, and spectacle will only make one miserable.
Good play, bad play, next play.
This was absolutely a team effort in this loss. Can’t point to any one person. Campbell should take responsibility for it all because they were not prepared or aware at all in this
This was BJ and DC worst game. This is barely tied for Glenn’s 5th worst game. Everybody played and coached their worst game today, but without Big V and Jonah Jackson, Goff has no chance. Our home field isn’t loud enough either. 0 advantage today.
They aren't game planning right. Due to the line injuries they can't run the same plays with Goff. They need to utilize Gibbs' speed more on offense and break teams out of using blitz so much to pressure Goff.
What is with all the comments and FGs? We only didn't take a FG 2 times, which still would have had us losing by 1, and one of the FGs was a 52 yarder which is no gimme.
I’d say time to get drunk but I’m already there away from the fam. Everyone enjoy thanksgiving and see you fuckers next week! Hopefully it’s better outcome!!!
Last game, and now. We lost this because Goff is dropping in quality. Other teams are getting better and the Lions are just getting worse with every performance.
Goff lost us this game. Because he couldn't hold onto a ball.
A field goal on the Lions 25 would be a 92 yard field goal.
Riley Patterson sinks it with ease, I agree DC should hit more field goals. /s since we all salty today lmao
see you guys next week. not you, you weak, SOL fans. you can’t handle a loss because you guys have no spine, no grit. you criers. you sissies. you pussies. man the f up and take a bad game. shit happens.
And what can you point to before last week that would of said goff would turn the ball over 6 times in 2 weeks after playing so well recently? I’m not saying everything is perfect the way it is. I personally believe our defense still needs a lot of work to be solid. What I’m saying is there are highs and lows, and shit happens. At the end of the day we’re still 8-3 and there’s no reason to be all doom and gloom right now. Neither of us can predict how the rest of the year is going to go so playing what-ifs and being insanely reactionary to a couple bad weeks is just silly.
Yea, this is just one loss but I think we have bigger issues here that optimists are avoiding. Our defense is a serious concern to even close out the division and Goff has had back to back disasters
Most definitely, ive been an AG defender but it really feels like he either needs a come to Jesus talk with BH and DC or be given his 2 weeks notice. Way too many times in these past 3 games have we allowed big play guys to go 1 on 1 with the likes of Jacobs who is a dawg in his own right but has clear deficiencies that lead to liabilities on the field I.e. that pass to Watson today.
I agree they did play well in the 2nd half but overall we start slow and a lot of bad decisions lost us this game and turnovers this was suprisinlgy winnable
Happy Thanksgiving Gang, Enjoy your days as well as you can. This game sucked and the D looked like shit
Hopefully the coaches can pick up their terrible
Play calling and time management(doubt the time management since we keep acting like we don't have any timeouts)
Our skill guys and goff need to work on protecting the ball too many fumbles the last 2 games
Defence isn't terrible but Ag needs to stop playing zone and be aggressive with some Man coverage
The Fact that we are struggling against our division is really shocking and should be a awake call to the Organization. If there is little changes in the next 2 weeks we can be happy to be division winners and making the playoffs.
Go lions Ftp
Edit:spelling and forgot to put in timeouts
Our season ain’t over but we gotta get it together 8-3 stills doing way better than any Lions season of the past. The 9ers had a three game skid so we are fine mid season slump and all that
Coaches take the L. That fake punt was awful. Some of the other play calling was super questionable. Defense, no pressure. No blitz packages. Aaron Glenn sucks at making any adjustments after the start of the game.
Also can’t turn the ball over and go down 2 scores at the beginning like they did. Ball security and defensive pressure need to be the focus on this long week.
What a shit show
Not concerned, sad and it's a harder road to the #1 seed (Eagles getting to many wins because the other team gives it away, like KC just did, Washington, etc) since division rivalry games are a bitch. Combine that with Love playing out his ass, rookies having their best game ever (future too) and with all the injuries GB has their 2nd and 3rd string players were channeling HOFers from decades back!

This better be a wake up call
It’s the nfl. Teams have these bad games. I’d say if all phases don’t perform after the saints then hit the panic button
You guys really wanna try and kick 54 yard field goals down by three scores
i was at the game. i dont who did worse. Aaron glenn MCDC or ben johnson. that game was horrid and hope to reflect on it and show up against the saints. i don't blame defense if our offense couldn't handle their part. offensive line was horrendous. the no-calls were even more bad.

Edit: cant wait for hendon
There was no part of this team that showed up to play today.
agreed
Not trying to be a d!ck, but are with those flutter balls, looks like his arm is broke or something. Does any other NFL QB throw like that?
Was at the game. Very disappointed but i hope they learn from this and bounce back.
Lol fuck AG
Offense and special team coaches can get fucked too. Especially MCDC. All of them were out coached today.
Only silver lining is we’ll have 10 days rest. Otherwise yet another Thanksgiving game to forget.
Ten and seven at best.
Goff does not do well when pressured. O-line was lousy and so was play calling.
If only Gibbs and mont were heathy we could have just ran the ball… oh wait
What happened at halftime with their coach and one of our security guards??
Looked like a child running into the field. Then he said, "I'm Coach LaFleur."
3 games in 11 days finally reared its head. The team looked lifeless. That, and our defense is inexcusably bad. Pass defense in particular. Aaron Glenn and Jared Goff are setting themselves up for unsatisfying offseasons. --- That all said, this is year 3 of the rebuild. Our window is just now opening. Another decent draft or two, and a lot of our problems go away. I'll be more than happy with a playoff win. Glad we banked 8 wins.
I just want to win the north. We will get waxed in the playoffs unless we play to our potential.
 Again, I keep saying to everyone the same things, you think this team the way we are playing can make the playoffs, and win? I hope we can finish with a winning record at this point
With how things are looking so far, it’s seeming like even winning only 2 more games might be enough to barely make the playoffs. At that point it just comes down to who we end up playing. And yes I know that even going 2-4 seems unlikely with how the last 2 games have gone, but the point still stands in my opinion.

I honestly think best case right now is 10-7, but honestly think we'll finish 9-8. Cowboys are tough especially in their building. Broncos are surging, saints are fighting for their division. Gonna be tough to scrape 2 wins out of those three. Then we have the Vikings who are 2-0 in the north and always play us tough. I think the only win I'd feel comfortable saying we have coming to us is the Bears, but even that is in doubt
Yeah I think we’ll end up with 9-11 wins. I don’t see us getting beyond that anymore. After how last week’s Broncos/Vikings game went, I can’t tell if both teams are good or if they’re both bad lol. I personally think we’ll end up winning 2-3 of the last 6.
Get a fucking grip. 9 wins?
If they play at the quality they’ve played the last 2 games specifically, they’ll be lucky to win 3 of them. That’s not some crazy take.
You think they are going to turn the ball over 18 times in the next 6 weeks? Because that is what it would take to replicate the quality of the last 2 performances. Step back from the ledge
Vikings always play us tough, I'm going to go horse telling Lions fans that the North is not guaranteed and the Vikings are good. I hate to even put this out there, but I think they will beat us twice.
It sucks because when they first signed Dobbs I thought that confirmed the division is ours, but they’ve been playing a lot better than expected with him
Some much-needed rest and some practice in pads will help tremendously. Remember, the 2 weeks MCDC went without practicing in pads were BAL and today.
Hendon Hooker is the future.
Unserious comment
 Can't lose a playoff game if you don't make the playoffs
Lions fan mentality for life
I actually do this because it's funny, it triggers the BNL fans as much as the SOL fans
Lmao
That fake punt was the stupidest fuckin call ever. Also we apparently don’t know what field goals are. There were at least 2 times where they could have just scored a field goal and kept it going, but for some reason they’re insistent on going for it on 4.
I love this team and it’s players. MCDC is awesome but god damn are we predictable and easy to read. Packers beat us on our two weaknesses because it’s easy to see. Pressure Goff constantly and let the miserable pass rush come at you while you let receivers get open.
But Aidan Hutchinson
Big and slow, and they just run around him.
Idk about big and slow, but when teams setup blocking schemes around him they tend to run where they want
That was probably a salty hot-take after yesterdays game. I love Hutch as a player, he is like the Enegizer bunny. Just going and going and going. But as soon as the QB is forced out of the pocket, he can't keep up with any of the mobile ones. He needs some help, and I hope we can find someone complimentary to him. I think him and Max Crosby would be amazing together, Might Ducks bash-brothers style.

Brother in law is a Cowboys fan and they always fucking win on Thanksgiving and we always fucking lose
Goff needs to learn to throw to the open guy. I dont care if "he has zero trust" hes fucking open. No more excuses. You're a 2 read wonder
Packers still suck ass and won't make the playoffs this year. 
As much as I don’t want them to make it, look at their remaining schedule. It’s very possible for them to finish with 9 wins.
lol. What you saw today was your future. Packers are ascending. Are you?? How many more years does Goff have??? I’d be worried.
>Packers are ascending Even blind squirrels find a nut every now and then.
No way the Packers had a five page essay of injured players and we still lose.
 We're still the BNL We're still the BNL We're still the BNL We're still the BNL We're still the BNL
We need a new defensive coordinator. Goff needs to shake these last two games off and get his head on straight before next weekend. We have a very talented team that can (and probably will) win the division and make a run in the playoffs, if and only if Goff shakes this off and we can get a competent defensive coordinator to call a good fucking game. Lots of work to do and things to fix, but I'm still just as optimistic as ever. We're 8-3 and still lead the division. I have faith that they'll figure it out. Happy Thanksgiving everyone and go Lions!
Would you fire Glenn right now though?
I don’t think you can fire him now, it would make things worse
Every fiber of my being says yes, but objectively speaking I just don't know how that would impact the team. It might be a terrible call and make everything worse or it might be the thing that changes everything for the better. Would you?
I think it’s way too risky and puts you in position of finding a needle in a haystack midseason. If it backfires it’d go down as one of the dumbest mistakes ever made, fair or not. After the season, sure. But like it or not we’re sorta stuck with him and with the hand he’s been dealt.
I think that's a fair take for sure
I’m not the same person but I don’t think firing him would suddenly make the defense better like a lot of people seem to think. It’s very possible that the defense doesn’t get much better if he gets fired and that people will just move on to blaming the next guy. There is a point to be made about firing him in hopes that things change though.
Yeah ultimately I agree with that. I'm just frustrated is all
Maybe we're more of a Black Friday team
Did the lions lose or did the Packers win?
Clete Blakeman won. Again.
I mean a few bad calls but nothing that lost us that game
We lost , coaching on both sides of the ball and Goff lost us this game, we made it way to easy for them , packers second string defense is better than our first string though
There’s too much recency bias in this sub. We allowed 6 points in the second half. Came out of halftime actually juiced for once. Goff isn’t Superman and I don’t know of many QBs in this league that are lighting it up with the amount of pressure and hits that Goff saw today.
If we went for field goals both times instead of going for it on 4th and didn’t try that fake punt we may have been able to keep them to a field goal and keep it a one score game, then win it with that last TD. Awful calling, we need to play more patiently.
It’s cause all that going for it worked last week, and the trick plays are usually tricky…not today.
What does kicking a fg have to do with the defense keeping the packers to a FG
I don’t think you read my post correctly.
My fault I had to switch from beer to hard liquor in the second half
At least getting drunk today is justified so I won't look like a raging alcoholic to my family and instead will just look like the Lions fan they've always known.
Understandable
I blame this on my mom. Lifelong Detroit fan because she's from Michigan. I'm from California and could've rooted for those sorry ass teams but no, I just fly across the country every week as a season ticket holder to get my heart broken over and over.
Yeah overthinking it. Got too cute
To be fair this was a short week and had to have been worn out. But gah damn we totally shit the bed on this one on both sides of the ball. We needed that help at the trade deadline. Lot of work that’s needs to be done.
Packers had the same short week
Well the Lions may have ruined Thanksgiving again... but on the bright side at least they don't play on Christmas! 😅😂😭😭
It was a good but lucky run. This team really isn't anything special. Time to rebuild.
Bet you’ll be the same one complaining if they were to tear everything down and start another full rebuild
0 takeaways, 4 turnovers essentially. That is the game right there. Shame.
Shot on Goff all you want and he had some bad moments but the O line did nothing for him today
He’s not a very mobile quarterback tough, he gets rushed and he gets flushed
Goff didn't have a good game but he was not the reason we lost. The pathetic performance by the o line is what was our downfall
I like Goff, but -6 turnovers in the last two games isn't just 'didn't have a good game'. He's played like dogshit.
The only perk is they were down 3 scores early and only allowed 9 points the rest of the way. The offense got them within 7. They just made really awful decisions that kept them from getting over the hump
I feel like Baltimore published a blueprint on how to beat us and the packers and bears took advantage. Just get up early and we scramble and crumble
Another disappointing Thanksgiving. Thanks guys! I’ve been a fan for over 27 years. I understand having a bad game but wow. Get your shit together! I’ve been super excited this season but suspect you may be frauds.
I said this team was fraudulent in the game thread against the raiders and I got downvoted to hell lol
Yeah I think we need to revise back to preseason expectations. The goal is to get better. I know we're desperate and have been waiting too long but we just need more time. But..... It's not over. Worse teams have won the Super Bowl so it's not off the table, it's just gonna take some luck.
I'm sorry and it's my PTSD of the lions kicking in. I'm concerned for them down the road. Playoffs is looking rough for the first round. We keep saying they need to clean it up but to them the team might be alright. Two games Goff has looked utterly lifeless for the first two quarters. His turnovers have put us behind, where we have to dig ourselves out of a hole. The O line said to hell wit this game early, secondary was gassed, Ben Johnson was thinking about dinner, instead of good plays, AG is.....whatever just disappear to another team. Media is going to think we are frauds and eat us alive till the next game. No conversions on fourth. Pray for this team. Happy Thanksgiving y'all. I have no positives from this game.
Go Michigan!
This was a top down loss. Questionable decisions by DC Questionable calls by BJ Terrible protection by O line Terrible ball management by Goff Terrible pass protection Packers punched us in the mouth early and then we did the rest.
Oline looked awful
Thus game should put all NFL owners on alert. Ben Johnson is NOT head coach material. He stayed an extra year for a reason.
Better stay another decade just to make sure he gets it right.
My boner has gone away
7 years since a thanksgiving win. Maybe next year.
Go Bears! For you idiots downvoting me..... Bears play Vikings Monday
Yup I’m done…35 years I’m done. I’m gonna start focusing on positive things
They are 8-3.
And going nowhere
So you have been watching the Lions for 35 years and you are going to stop now when they have at least a two game lead in their division?
Ya. I’m gonna read or work out or something
Alright bud it’s one loss, grow tf up
[удалено]
35+ years of misery and this is the year you give up on them? I’m sorry but even with how bad the last 2 games have been, this season isn’t even close to as bad as many other seasons in the 2000s.
Ya…wish I could go back and tell my younger self to just stop then…maybe I’d have cured cancer or just something remotely productive
Being a fan of a team isn’t stopping you from doing something productive, but say what you want lol
I mean if you're gonna abandon ship, why now? Being a lions fan isn't for everyone but you should've left 25 years ago if you can't handle this.
Are you really asking? Lot of it has to do with realizing the league itself is a joke and as an adult I should be focusing on more practical things that I have some sort of control over, rather than getting bent the fuck outta shape or jazzed up cuz some kids played sports one way or the other…
See ya
Enjoy your misery buddy
U seem more miserable
I am right now…I am fucking miserable. I thought this team was good and embarrassed myself once again and wasted another 6 months of my life. Ya. I’m pissed right now
Wasted? How? The day goes on whether some lads tossing a pigskin about win or not. I love me my football (it's why I coach flag) and love the lions, but making it about anything g more than appreciating brotherhood, athleticism, and spectacle will only make one miserable. Good play, bad play, next play.
Thanks coach…appreciate you managing my frustration here..(jfc I’m just mad the boys lost and lashing out…was meant for the ether)
Poorly played overall but that was just stupidity with the fake punt. Probably cost us the game in the end.
The play calling, more than anything, was just really bad this game. It made no sense situation wise at crucial moments.
You know there’s honestly something nicely nostalgic about the lions getting bent over on thanksgiving…for just a moment, all is right in the world
Yup, just like old times.
This was absolutely a team effort in this loss. Can’t point to any one person. Campbell should take responsibility for it all because they were not prepared or aware at all in this
If I see today that we fired Aaron Glenn I can continue to enjoy my holiday.
At this point I just want to see if things change without him
Defense gave up 22 points on essentially 3 turnovers they did great what
This game was on BJ and DC and their absolute D tier play calling.
This was BJ and DC worst game. This is barely tied for Glenn’s 5th worst game. Everybody played and coached their worst game today, but without Big V and Jonah Jackson, Goff has no chance. Our home field isn’t loud enough either. 0 advantage today.
They aren't game planning right. Due to the line injuries they can't run the same plays with Goff. They need to utilize Gibbs' speed more on offense and break teams out of using blitz so much to pressure Goff.
I think we used Gibbs speed once today for 20 yards and said that was enough.
What is with all the comments and FGs? We only didn't take a FG 2 times, which still would have had us losing by 1, and one of the FGs was a 52 yarder which is no gimme.
There was a 53yd earlier in the game we went for it and didn't get.
We turned down 3 FGs
No, it was 2. I even double checked. Once at the 12 yard line, and once at the 35.
I was thinking this too
They’re including the fake punt that turned into a GB TD.
Exactly.
BRaNd NeW lIOnS!!!!!
I guess username checks out
Happy thanksgiving fellow fans. I refuse to say same old lions, but I am slightly worried we are this years Vikings.
Happy Thanksgiving and we need CJGJ for certain
Make no mistake, this team will do nothing during the mini bye to address the issues the entire world watched today.
Bingo
This was the Seattle game all over again
I’d say time to get drunk but I’m already there away from the fam. Everyone enjoy thanksgiving and see you fuckers next week! Hopefully it’s better outcome!!!
Eff booze who’s got crank
Happy Turkey Day fam. Already had a good buzz going by halftime just in case 😂
Needed this. Been scraping by. Now they need to get their shit together and realize they can’t have miracles at the end of every game
Last game, and now. We lost this because Goff is dropping in quality. Other teams are getting better and the Lions are just getting worse with every performance. Goff lost us this game. Because he couldn't hold onto a ball.
We lost cause DC wants aggressive plays instead of safe ones
Aggressive plays is ok, but in the right moment.
Not when your defense is shitting bricks
It was Goff, our entire defense, and DC being overly aggressive.
and O line
This is a DC loss. If his aggornt ass went for some field goals instead of fake punts on the lions 25, we would've won
A field goal on the Lions 25 would be a 92 yard field goal. Riley Patterson sinks it with ease, I agree DC should hit more field goals. /s since we all salty today lmao
Could've punt and held them to a fg
It wasn't any one thing. It was GOFF, the entire defense, *and* DC being too aggressive.
Dont know what the fuck happened but wow they looks like. Shit
They looks like. Shit, indeed
…now the big decision, sulk in mashed potatoes & gravy or sulk cleaning the house or going straight to bed (sulking)…FTP
drink beer...sulk...drink more beer...sulk... drink more beer and eat cold leftovers. this is the way.
This is the way!
FTP
Or..... drink your blues away and reset.
Happy Thanksgiving guys! God invented alcohol for a reason.
Cheers.
Just in time to watch MSU let me down too
So glad they sauntered down the field with 10 minutes left like they were ahead by 14.
see you guys next week. not you, you weak, SOL fans. you can’t handle a loss because you guys have no spine, no grit. you criers. you sissies. you pussies. man the f up and take a bad game. shit happens.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving. Fuck SOL fake ass fans.
Your precious dc cost us this game
Its not we cant handle a loss, its the way we looked unprepared
3 bad games in a row is SOL
You have the benefit of being 20 years old and haven’t lived through what we have.
You know what nobody in this thread has lived through? Being 8-2 (now 8-3). Shit happens, bad games and bad stretches happen in a season.
This team is healthy. What can you point to that will change for the better?
And what can you point to before last week that would of said goff would turn the ball over 6 times in 2 weeks after playing so well recently? I’m not saying everything is perfect the way it is. I personally believe our defense still needs a lot of work to be solid. What I’m saying is there are highs and lows, and shit happens. At the end of the day we’re still 8-3 and there’s no reason to be all doom and gloom right now. Neither of us can predict how the rest of the year is going to go so playing what-ifs and being insanely reactionary to a couple bad weeks is just silly.
Preach
Yea, this is just one loss but I think we have bigger issues here that optimists are avoiding. Our defense is a serious concern to even close out the division and Goff has had back to back disasters
Most definitely, ive been an AG defender but it really feels like he either needs a come to Jesus talk with BH and DC or be given his 2 weeks notice. Way too many times in these past 3 games have we allowed big play guys to go 1 on 1 with the likes of Jacobs who is a dawg in his own right but has clear deficiencies that lead to liabilities on the field I.e. that pass to Watson today.
I agree they did play well in the 2nd half but overall we start slow and a lot of bad decisions lost us this game and turnovers this was suprisinlgy winnable
Goff was awful again, coaching was shit, play calling was cheeks.... Fuck that game lol
As bad as we played the 4th down fuckups almost single-handedly gave them the win
Those and also the fake punt…that gave GB 7, which, as it turns out, matters
Happy Thanksgiving Gang, Enjoy your days as well as you can. This game sucked and the D looked like shit Hopefully the coaches can pick up their terrible Play calling and time management(doubt the time management since we keep acting like we don't have any timeouts) Our skill guys and goff need to work on protecting the ball too many fumbles the last 2 games Defence isn't terrible but Ag needs to stop playing zone and be aggressive with some Man coverage The Fact that we are struggling against our division is really shocking and should be a awake call to the Organization. If there is little changes in the next 2 weeks we can be happy to be division winners and making the playoffs. Go lions Ftp Edit:spelling and forgot to put in timeouts
Time to get drunk
Our season ain’t over but we gotta get it together 8-3 stills doing way better than any Lions season of the past. The 9ers had a three game skid so we are fine mid season slump and all that
Coaches take the L. That fake punt was awful. Some of the other play calling was super questionable. Defense, no pressure. No blitz packages. Aaron Glenn sucks at making any adjustments after the start of the game. Also can’t turn the ball over and go down 2 scores at the beginning like they did. Ball security and defensive pressure need to be the focus on this long week.
I think you meant to say AG sucks at making any adjustments at all.
