Lions collapse at the end. I had tried to erase that. Got ran all over in the middle of a snow storm.

Well that’s not good news on Alim. Really bad actually.

I’m pretty sure since I’ve been a lions fan the lions have never had a coordinator hired away to be a head coach. Go one about how good the coordinators are though.

People don’t go to the internet for positivity. The irony, I’m a pretty positive person. I allow myself to be emotional over football. We need to look at this globally. Go look at Reddit or other forums, specific to the lions. People getting voted down to hell for saying there is too much negativity. In person I only point out the positive. Here, There is 3 hours to let loose and then get back to it. For instance, I pointed out the defensive stats last week and key areas they needed to improve. One of them was red zone td percentage. Lions were 3rd to last in the league. Saints came in as one of the worst red zone offenses and then went 4 for 4 after a game going 0 for 5. The lions are allowing teams to convert 73% of their red zone trips to touchdowns, and it’s gotten progressively worse. There is room for concern and the nuance is best left for middle of the week. It’s obvious why there is angst, the lions are off to a historic start and have a legit shot a home playoff game. The lions have lost 2 of their 3 games at home and were lucky not to lose to the bears. They have been worse defensively at home and haven’t shown improvement since the bye. People don’t want to see the lions win the division and then have the same issues pop up, fans want to see improvement. They get upset week to week seeing the same problems. The red zone defense being of primary concern, even more than the turnovers for me. I don’t believe they can play at this level of defense and then magically fix it during the playoff game. Lions are basically ranking out in bottom 3rd of every defensive category and in the last half of games they are near the bottom in every category. They still run base and nickel, rarely dime and don’t blitz more than middle of the pack, and usually with linebackers who can’t get home. On to Chicago.

As an aside anyone who uses an ignore function on a sports message board is soft af.

I go to two games a year living in BFE nowhere Minnesota. Pay for Sunday ticket, by their merch. Watched every game for 25 years. If that ain’t showing it what’s your definition, saying nice things on a message board? People can say whatever they want. This team is teetering on a defensive implosion. Everyone recognizes they are good, but they also recognize if things don’t change they will give up 50 in their lone home playoff game.

I can venture a guess.

Correct.

Lucky to win. Now fire Glenn for Christ sakes.

Play calling has been a real issue today.

Absolutely hate that 2nd and 8 call. Use some misdirection. Don’t just hammer it up the middle for zero yards.

I’d be fine if the USC d coordinator took over. Itd be an improvement.

They are just marching via the run. This team has no pride. None at all. They have given up.

This defense will not be getting a stop. Literally impossible.

We all know the answer.

What an absolute implosion. Winning does them no good today. They need to lose.

Saints have outplayed the lions at every level. And the lions now go 3 and out. this team is terrible across the board.

Great play call. Wow.

Who cares about me.

If Glenn isn’t fired then you need to start asking about Campbell. He is in charge. He isn’t doing nothing to hold Glenn accountable.

Lololollol 3rd and 13 and they give it up again. The trashiest team of all time. This is the worst defense the nfl has seen in decades. Where are all the Aaron Glenn defenders now? Campbell is losing credibility as a coach with this nonsense defense and allowing it to continue. 4 red zone trips for the saints and 4 touchdowns. Embarrassment beyond words. They need to lose this game. Only way changes can occur.

This team has lost all credibility they built up. Gone. Poorly coached. Can’t play D. No discipline.

Guys. That’s a penalty 100 percent of the time. He drove him into the ground.

****ing defense. Still can’t get off the god damn field. Take an obvious penalty when you don’t have to. As a reminder they came in leading the league in penalties for first downs. So undisciplined.

Saints ineptitude covering up the lions ills.
