“John Morton’s offense has now delivered the two least successful offensive performances at Ford Field of the entire Dan Campbell era in the last two games.”

Well, at least Detroit didn’t lay as big of a turd as Washington is.

He’s their best offensive player.

The defense did not play all that badly today. Arnold was back and had a big play. The team had two terrible roughing the passer penalties called against them. Those hurt. I am not sure what the problem was with special teams, but there were a few lineman injured, and I wonder if mahogany would have been in on that field goal attempt that got blocked. The biggest problem is offensively. I wonder if Dan will do what he did with Anthony Lynn, and start being more hands-on about what he expects the offense to look like I hope he does.

I agree everybody was bad today from the coaches to the players. But the problem all season has been that this offense has no identity. Last season they started every drive with Montgomery and they ran play action off of him. This season, they have made Gibbs the lead back. I understand why, but this is a different team when they are running it through Montgomery and setting up everything else off of that. I am not sure I saw a single play action drop back today. That is unacceptable when you have the best play action passer in the NFL.

Special teams may have lost this game.

These refs are awful.

Awful coming out of the bye.

They have lost their offensive identity. They think it is clever formations and motions. It is really a power run game with David Montgomery and play action passing based off of that. Once again the officiating has been bad at best.

THAT IS AN NFL TACKLE.

Campbell gets tackled. No foul for holding. Insane.

Where was the delay of game?

Two players holding McNeil on that play.

Thank you Monty.

There. Montgomery is an explosive player.

Pathetic. Give the ball to Montgomery.

Where the eff is David Montgomery? Pound the ball for a while.

Does the defense know this is a tackle football game?

It was a great first drive but again Montgomery has been this team’s identity. They are misusing him.

And the Dodgers have two Japanese players with contracts that add up to a billion. We are living in crazy times. Anyway, Detroit 33 - Minnesota 16.

In her article she wrote Many teams, including the Rams, 49ers, Lions, Colts and Eagles, have called the Bengals on numerous players, including LB Logan Wilson, CB Cam Taylor-Britt and, of course, DE Trey Hendrickson. For now, some teams don’t believe Cincinnati has any real interest in moving its core pieces. She put five teams in a bucket as having called the Bengals about three players. Clearly not every team asked about every player. And clearly Brad is not looking to add to the LBs, which is probably the team's deepest unit. I don't believe for a second that Brad had any conversation about Hendrickson beyond "What are you looking for in return?" Brad is looking for depth at CB.

He had a shoulder cleanup in the offseason. I wonder if there was some unexpected complication, or if they just did the best they could and what you see is what you get.

Yes, I’ve been thinking about the contrast between how Brad did it, silent like an assassin, and how Jerry did it, all clumsy and in the press. We have a well run team.

Lions history needs to be divided into BC/AD: Before Campbell, After Dan.
