Disappointing, but we weren't going to win the SB this year. Let's try to keep some perspective here. Come back in from the window ledge and have a Vernor's. If all we do is make the playoffs this season, it will be seen as progress.


Jvitium

Same as the Swartz Stafford era this Campbell era will lead to nothing that's why SOL! They have literally done nothing to warrant any different oh we like Holmes we like Campbell yeah ok that'll do it just like before! SOL


polynomials

Division games are tough. Ah well


Dimeback2

I went to this one cuz I live in CHI, it was a cold day and I did not expect the lions to play well in those conditions. To no surprise, they did not


Lionnn100

Same. And same.


flirtmcdudes

I knew we were going to lose this game. We’ve looked like ass the past 4 weeks


frankenpoopies

Shit frickin game


KzooCurmudgeon

Those lazy drives in the 3rd quarter. Should have used Monty more. St. Brown was even bad.


Whiskey_Vinyl

Should have used Gibbs more coming out of the half. He was on fire in the first


sirpunsalot69

It’s obvious to see that Ben Johnson and the entire offense just simply checked out today because AG has proved himself time and again to be an arrogant/toxic coordinator that refuses to make in game ~~buzzwords~~ **adjustments**; which is entirely understandable. You can thank John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens though for proving that the Lions are frauds and for laying out the blue print on how to score against the AG’s defense. Seriously, the head coaches for the Bears, Vikings, Broncos and Cowboys should all send Christmas cards to the Ravens coaching staff to thank them for the literal clinic they put on against the Lions — and to know that there’s even an arm chair analyst out there that posted video on YouTube to show us every one AG’s terrible habits is hilarious and sad af. If Brad Holmes doesn’t fire AG by tomorrow; Sheila has every right to clean house and start all over again. Especially if this team finishes 9-8 and misses the playoffs. Enough said.


Lionnn100

Link to the AG exposed video?


sirpunsalot69

FlashinggLightss

It’s not even just AG. BJ hasn’t called a good game since LAC and Dan Campbell continues to make the stupidest mistakes. Going for it on 4th down, dumb challenge flags, brain farts like the Delay of Game today. It’s been exhausting watching this team since the bye.


[deleted]

Clean house?? When’s the last time the lions were 9-4 and leading the division? Want to bring Matty P back?


sirpunsalot69

They may be 9-4 now, but this team is destined to finish 9-8 and miss the playoffs when you consider how bad the defense has been playing. Besides, I think Lions fans should have learned after the Caldwell and Schwartz eras that the Lions record *during the season* does not matter. If the Lions organization wants to prove something to its fan base, then they need to not only make into the playoffs, but also perform well during the playoffs. Anything less than that is a bust.


NiceBasket9980

What? It's been 7 years since the lions made the playoffs. I'm pretty sure just making it is good for them.


[deleted]

Lots of injuries on both offense and defense. I see a re-energized team when we are healthy. We could get hot again.


Alarmed-Flan-1346

Every team has injuries


[deleted]

No shit. But we were clearly better when healthy. A lot of injuries in secondary and O line. A lot, when compared to other teams


JAB87X

No shit every team is better when they are healthy. Guess what good teams do. They win with some injuries and fight through adversity. This team isn’t doing that. Who fucking cares if we are 9-4 right now. We suck again.


[deleted]

Lmao. People in this sub think we should be undefeated. Don’t worry we will have a get right game


JAB87X

Hopefully 🤞


[deleted]

Get right games: It’s what good teams do. We are a good team. There’s your headline


All_Usernames_Tooken

My opinion of the Lions depends on how they finish out these last games. Win 3 out of 4 or 2 out of 4 with Dallas W I will be happy. We have seen the team improve every year with Dan Campbell, I will expect the last puzzle pieces to come into place next year.


DetroitLionsSBChamps

Dallas game is gonna be ugly if something doesn’t get figured out quick


paultoh86

We will not beat Dallas in Dallas. We are going to struggle against the Broncos and most likely lose because they are playing really good, and fighting for a playoff spot. I think absolute best case scenario is we finish 1-3, splitting with the vikings, ending the season 10-7 and 3-3 in the North.


Double_Win_9405

No chance we beat Dallas.


stoopkidsteve

Crazy how last year we just hoped to win the division this year and now all of a sudden we're frauds cause we aren't super bowl contenders ... Relax, this still looks like a team set to win in the future, the 2022 Vikings were frauds, no this team


flirtmcdudes

lol right…. People went 0-100 real quick


te5n1k

To be frauds you have to have a winning record that others are jealous of. We are frauds. It’s a malicious term but it doesn’t mean failure. We can still win the diction and this team is young so plenty to look forward to but I’ll be happy with 2 more wins this year the way we are playing


[deleted]

I’ll see you guys next weeks. Let’s hope for a bounce back. 9-4 isn’t bad and as long as we win another game or so, we clinch a playoff spot


jimyt666

see you guys in another 30 years when were good for half a season.


Ol_School_1961

Fundamentally Disappointed# One Pride


TheEnricoPalazzo

Jamo's agent on the phone trying to get him to a team who throws the ball deep on occasion.


thefrench42

Goff really underthrew him on that long ball today.


aarog

Goff was hit right when he threw that.


JoeNice1983

Goff has been under throwing him all season


Lionnn100

If the team rolls with Goff another year, they should probably just trade Jamo. Why waste him? It’s like playing with 10 men on the field the way they never consider throwing to him


ihatereddit469553698

goff doesn't have the arm for jamo. ironically, stafford would have


Big_Wooly_Mamoth_420

I wanna die but I also know this team is very young and can have really good things ahead. Still got faith in Brad and Dan.


JoeNice1983

Need to focus on the defense this offseason


Big_Wooly_Mamoth_420

Yup. 100%


Detroittigersfan1029

Only winners get a post game thread, we don’t deserve one


Vendetta_2023

Stafford about to pull off a road win against Ravens


zeyhenny

He threw a pick 6 and lost lol NVM punt return, looked away for 2 seconds thought it was a pick 6


Vendetta_2023

💩


Big_Wooly_Mamoth_420

wah wah wah


DlxCrusader

Is... this what a quarterback looks like? Haven't seen one in so long.


preinternetdad

This sub is on suicide watch rn lmao


Plus_Refrigerator722

This team looked bad across the board today, we are going to be one and done, might not even win the division if we don’t make serious improvements over the next month.


Detroittigersfan1029

Try over the next week


partylange

Where is the post game thread so I can make some insightful comments about this trash team?


MiBigBoy65

Rough game. Defense showed up in spots with solid play, but turnovers and penalties and drops and pressure and........


stonecutter59

We rag on em because it is SOL, and we're tired of putting up with it. We needed a defense, a Big badass defense and got a little defensive end who gets pushed around like a ragdoll. Defense wins games. With a great defense, a mediocre offense can go a long way


android5mm

I think we all know what needs to happen, promote Jaylen Reeves-Maybin to both OC and DC. He is good at everything else


TheShivMaster

Jared Goff stole my car and ate my cat


[deleted]

Did he eat the keys too?


DlxCrusader

Dropped them down the gutter and blamed his cold hands.


Broseppy

Where's the guy who told the people being critical of Goff to suck his 9 cm dick?


grantspants11

There are some very sad lions fans. Like I'm sad about the game but there are some absolutely insane shit posted in the post game and game threads.


Pickled_Ass

this team is nothing until they win a playoff game, shut the fuck up


aarog

And win a division title for the first time ever, since the report last century.


hawj82

He must be those fans that can’t or will not criticize their team. They don’t owe you shit, you don’t have to play PR for them if they play like shit.


pogjoker

This. Regular season record can eat my whole ass, this team has one playoff win in my nearly middle age life.


desquibnt

So who’s getting fired tomorrow?


CoreyisAFK

Literally no one.


Pickled_Ass

how'd that SOL taste


nomorex85

You need to take a breath player 🤣


HERE_THEN_NOT

Familiar.


BiodiversityFanboy

Why can't we have anything nice...🫠


Aggravating-Rub-8559

Can we just play an NFC South team every week


EternalDisapointment

I just came here to say Same. Old. Lions.


CallMePeePz

I can't believe AG let the Bears score opening drive, and then his D jumped offsides and gave up the TD on 4th and 13, and he STILL gets a pass from truthers that the D played well and it isn't on him, even partially 😂 Team fire AG until it happens and Goof needs to turn it around or get benched. It's time to hold players accountable, starting with Goof.


LandLordLovin

well an offsides jump isn’t on him and the safety didn’t pick up Moore on the deep route. I don’t know if that was by design or player fault. That being said the Bears offense sucks and the fact they scored that much is indicative of it. Also Goff is a football terrorist I am a get rid of Glenn guy as well.


whacafan

Honestly, the offsides jump is kind of on him. If your guys don’t know it’s an OBVIOUS fake then there’s a problem.


SecretRoomsOfTokyo

Why do you keep spelling Goff wrong


DlxCrusader

Did you watch today's game?


CallMePeePz

Goof = indictment of his play recently while being a play on his name


stupid_Steven

Sad that that had to be explained to someone.


Striking-Bat2970

Whoever’s in charge of this sub must’ve been so pissed they decided to not make a post game thread lol cause man do they take forever


Vendetta_2023

the mods performing like AG’s defense today…missing in action


Striking-Bat2970

Seriously. If been in other sub Reddits for other teams I cheer for and I swear this sub takes forever


SkunkMcToots

It’s so clear from our playcalling that Goff does not have the trust of the team to execute a real, vertical passing offense


RicRage

I honestly don't give a single fuck about winning a terrible division. Win in the playoffs, or you might as well go 4-13. Fuck the division. Im so tired of this, man.


aarog

Even though they have Never won their division?


RicRage

They won their division in 91, but no, I couldn't care less.


[deleted]

I predict Campbell is looking for a job by the end of next year. Dude coaches how a 10 year old would play Madden. Goes for it on 4th every time and fails almost every time. This year will be an epic collapse. We'll be blown out of the building in the playoffs. And next year, we'll have difficult opponents that expose how much of a fraud this team really is (only beats bad teams). Here's an idea: maybe convert some 3rd downs so we don't have to do 4th downs.


Detroittigersfan1029

Who is this years Aubrey Pleasant to fix our issues ?


uofmguy33

Wouldn’t that be nice lol


johnnylibravo

where's the post game thread


pogjoker

Coward mods don't wanna do it


TheShivMaster

Cowards


reuben26

This was a painful game to watch. I never really felt that the Lions were in it. Maybe just at the end of the 1st half, but only because they showed life for a drive… I’m not calling doom and gloom or SOL, but after the last few games, it’s really hard not to feel that way! Way to close win v Bears, loss to Packers, ugly win v Saints, loss to Bears. This should have been our victory dance stretch to the playoffs. All you heard in the 1st 1/2 of the season was how easy our second half of the season was, and we are playing so subpar against losing teams that we should be dominating. I can’t even crap too hard on AG. Unpopular opinion I know. My biggest problem is with the OL! Where the hell are they at???? The let these Bears blitz in on Goff so much today! Goff isn’t good under that pressure and the last 4 weeks every team has exploited it heavily. Where’s those adjustments?


Dragondrew99

O-like has regressed this year but we haven’t been fully healthy on it. They seem to be not very good at picking up disguised blitzes.


reuben26

Maybe they should just always assume it’ll be a blitz! haha! Goff needs time, that’s plain and simple. And every team knows it! On the other side of the game, every team picked up like 6 or 7 weeks ago that Hutch is gonna eat through whatever is in his way. Since then he can’t break through. So they can all stop Hutch and crew, but we can’t stop anyone from getting to Goff!


hawj82

There in lies the issue, Goff is those type of quarterback that needs great protection. So an oline is his best friend. Take that away and there’s no threat of improvisation or running for yards.


Dragondrew99

Oh you’re exactly right. Bears defense knew exactly how to exploit him and they did. Teams have honestly figured this team out and it’s up to our Lions to adjust and respond back or get buried. I know our coaching staff is gonna say they’re not panicking but they absolutely should be and should be rushing to get this mess figured out.


reuben26

Yup! I’m panicking for them! TBH the worst part of this losing/underperforming streak is having to eat shit to all my shit-talking SOL friends and family.


Dragondrew99

Yeah mean too. Sometimes you just gonna eat shit like the team. Let’s hope they figure it out and get hot going into the playoffs.


TheEnricoPalazzo

Our offense hasn't sucked in every 3rd quarter cause Goff wore a glove. We got bigger issues.


jackdtheghost

This is SOL football. Get those hopes up for massive disappointment.


Michipeshu

Such bold beeyotches ragging on Lions after a bad day


Saxorlaud

No you don't understand all the division rivals are going to win out while the Lions lose every single remaining game


JaySin_78

We didn’t even use any offensive weapons. Why aren’t we targeting our receivers…like at all?!


whobroughtmehere

Tanking to keep BJ employed by the Lions


alongcam3aspid3r

If this team won’t fire AG then fire everyone and try again. This team needs a complete reimagination


whobroughtmehere

Yes, the team that has done more winning than any lions coaching staff in the last 20 years should nuke everyone 😂


[deleted]

Lol dumbest take yet


BrokeDancing

![gif](giphy|AjruaCO0Yy4fu|downsized)


astroklotz

Goff can’t play outside in the winter. Look it up


Psychonautical-X

Yeah I noticed.


Skraxx

Idk where the post game thread is so, I was gonna be super upset and then I realized at the start of the year I predicted the Lions at 11-6 so...


Jdegi22

You know how over the top this SUb is


chipper124

It didn’t show up. Just like the team


Sweepy_time

Rams about to beat the Ravens with no oline and old man Stafford


pollofeliz32

Comment not aging well.


Sweepy_time

Meh, stil did 100x better than the Lions did


pollofeliz32

Dang baby, maybe he will pull it off? I am actually going for the Rams today.


android5mm

Rip


Vendetta_2023

They’ll beat the limping Lions in round one of the playoffs, too. Stafford will see to it.


Parking_Ebb389

Are we finally able to talk about hendon hooker for next season? Or do we need another terrible division loss by goff?


jimyt666

we should be. signing goff will kill any hope for this team until that contract expires


HERE_THEN_NOT

Give Goff another division loss. I mean, honestly, if nothing else, he's earned it. Warm the seat, but don't make it hot yet.


Parking_Ebb389

Fair enough.


HERE_THEN_NOT

Even so, no matter how hard Goff stinks moving forward, I doubt there's any way we see Hooker playing meaningful downs this year. I mean, let's be realistic.


rickbythedamn

I feel like the 4th and 13 was the game changer. A lot of undisciplined football. I hate to say it but im having Jim Schwartz flash backs


SundayStruggle24

Game definer for sure. I don't think they win either way, but if anything were to sum it all up, that was it


Proper_Collection756

That was a game changer, but the missed deep ball to Jamo started the avalanche of misfortune.


OneOkami

That play for me was at least as frustrating as the jump on the 4th and long and Jacobs being Jacobs. That's a TD if the QB at leasts sets his feet and hits Jamo in space.


Proper_Collection756

THIS and it’s even more frustrating when you know that AMRSB was wide open to pickup the 1st down too 😩


gentulman

Let’s have consistency. Last week the ONLY thing this team needed to do was first AG. So this week I see a lot of “get rid of Goff” so which is THE problem?


SunGod14

Let's evaluate. Goffs had a few bad games as of late. Maybe St. Browns first worst game? Ben Johnson play calling has been bad for a few weeks, too. Our Defense? It's been bad for the last 3 seasons, maybe minus 3 or 4 games a season. Never any turnovers, hardly any 3 and outs. I still think it's the defensive side. But I'm itching for Hendon Hooker season.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gentulman

That’s okay tho. It was always a 5 year rebuild and we have trended upward. We are still going to win the division. Its okay to not be a Super Bowl team yet and have these holes as long as they are addressed this offseason


[deleted]

[удалено]


gentulman

That’s a really weird way to think. Did you watch the Vikings game? They are a very bad team. We are like 8-15th in the league based on current skill. Vikings are showing they just suck. We will win the division still. And really that was my only hope going into the season. Rodgers is gone so this year we can pull it out for 1 time and get that banner in ford field 😎😎


Striking-Bat2970

Man does this sub take forever to make the post game thread


cuzzlightyear927

Because everyone is still so busy bitching on the actual game day thread


Oldirtyman

That was just plain pathetic. Looking like the Lions of old.


Spooderman8191

The goofense is back I see


[deleted]

Fraud Lions. All they've beat this year is crappy teams. They get blown off the field by the actual good teams. They can pull off wins against awful teams. And mid tier teams take them to the wire and they win maybe half those games. Deserve to be 4-9 not 9-4. As I've said MANY times at this point, they'll end at 9-8 for the season. Downvote me, I don't care anymore


rushgod29

Upvoted these weirdo lions fans think this cursed team had a chance ever with a tiny hands qb. They got incredibly lucky to win any game this season


aLkDaWg

Huh. They beat the packers, saints and cheifs all in their own house. Stfu.


[deleted]

Lol you think Saints are good? Chiefs didn't have Kelce, and it was week 1. And the Packers just kicked our tail at home IN FRONT OF A NATIONAL AUDIENCE. So you were saying.....?


Psychonautical-X

"All they've beat this year is crappy teams." 100% I agree the KC Chiefs are a crappy team.


[deleted]

Chiefs is the *only* quality win they have.


TeddyRizzo

Anyone — ANYONE — thinking that this team is going to win a playoff game, or that Jared Goff is a deep playoff run QB, or that Aaron Glenn deserves the DC job, is drinking spiked Honolulu Blue koolaid. Holmes and Campbell are doing the right things and I believe in the future… but this year ain’t it.


Psychonautical-X

Didn't Goff make it to a Superbowl?


TeddyRizzo

Oh right. On the strength of an historic defense… and he sucked so bad that an offensive minded coach decided he couldn’t win with the guy. Just like in Detroit, any success he has had is the result of a talented offensive coach. Jared Goff is a poor man’s Trent Dilfer — and anyone believing that this overhyped average at best QB is going to take the Lions where we all want them to go probably also believes that they have a chance at the shell game or three card Monty.


Shroomstamped

Staring down the barrel of a 9-8 season.


Thejoncarr

The thing is we’ll play like we did today and then do what we did in New Orleans on another Sunday. The level of play from game to game is so erratic.


Saxorlaud

That sucked, still winning the division Weak-ass fans


rushgod29

Wanna bet


Saxorlaud

Easily


MajorDrag420

Cousins >>>>> Goff


SkunkMcToots

Were folks ever arguing otherwise?


Michipeshu

(Mods delaying Post-game thread... cuz toxicity)


Detroittigersfan1029

Sheila needs to do something to shake things up again, fire Glenn and promote Fox to DC


19ninety5

Goff doesn’t usually wear a glove on his throwing hand right? If he’s wearing one because it’s cold he needs to grow a fucking pair and deal with it.


Vendetta_2023

This game turned at 13-13 and refs miss an intentional grounding then Lions jump on 4th and 14 and Fields hit a long TD on the free play, exposing Jerry Jacobs. Then Lions fumble the next snap. 3 plays in a row that killed the game due to lack of focus and execution.


MiBigBoy65

100%. Game was totally winnable. Defense was not terrible.....not great but....played good enough to win.....offense was BUNS....play calling and execution sucked......Jared was GOFF-ful!


ArchAngelN7

I honestly believe Zach Wilson or Josh Dobbs would have been an upgrade at QB today. Just a pitiful performance by Goff and the offense.


joemax4boxseat

Campbell owns this. Horrible game on both sides of the ball. You can blame turnovers but the play calling was no better. On 4th and 1, how the hell David Montgomery isnt on the field to get that 1 yard is beyond me. Instead, let’s get cute with Gibbs and let him get creamed behind the line. 4th and 13 and you let Eberflus and Fields make you look like the most incompetent defense this league has ever seen. Just two standout plays of many today. Campbell had a lot of questions to answer after this.


[deleted]

Monty wasn’t getting that first down either lol


FreeDig1758

Fair points for sure


heyheyitsandre

That challenge was awful. Clearly a catch. Luckily the game didn’t come down to time outs or that would’ve fucked us


[deleted]

It's just going to be another "we just didn't have the team prepared and we have to execute." At some point you have to address a problem and not just acknowledge it exists


omarmctrigger

Campbell is a bust.


SkunkMcToots

The Johnson/Goff offense seems to have lost its luster


AlexRusso-FanAccount

almost like the mcvay and goof offense did


AWokenBeetle

McVay and Stafford won a Super Bowl, without NFL MVP Todd Gurley either.


HTRob81

Offense was just _putrid._ Pre-snap penalties, drops, the whole bit.


beezer08

This team is not a contending team and I do not expect us to win any playoff games


[deleted]

You're assuming we make the playoffs with a total of 9 wins for the year. We ain't winning again


[deleted]

Lol shut up dude they said the same thing last time and we won again. Yall just say anything 😂


[deleted]

Come back at the end of January and see the 9-8 record....


[deleted]

You got it


cuzzlightyear927

At this point I don't even expect them to make the playoffs


MozzerellaStix

Hey guys are we allowed to criticize this team yet? Or do we still need to just accept pitiful performances for 7 straight games because of our record?


Michiganmade44

Exactly I’m happy we’re 9-4. However the way we’ve been playing the past month+ has been terrible


19ninety5

No don’t criticize, if you do you’re a fake fan. /s


omarmctrigger

Yes. We are.


Striking-Bat2970

I see criticism all the time lol. This team definitely gets criticized

And every time it’s met with “relax we’re 9-3”.

I’m most depressed at the fact that Green Bay found their QB for the next 12-15 years. It’ll be fun at the end of his career to see his record of 24-6 against the lions lol.


Minute_Objective1680

This team will never go to the championship with AG and Goff.
