Just score.

I'm telling ya, Fox is our best player. Sad...

That's true but I would rather lose being aggressive than to sit back and lose. I've always hated the "prevent" defense. The only thing it prevents is winning. Different philosophy, I guess.

We'll still beat Chicago on Thanksgiving.

Within 3 years, the Lions are going to have a massive offensive line, leading to big pass plays and huge holes for our running backs. We're also going to have a stifling defense that attacks the ball. As well as an experienced and competent coaching staff. We'll be great for several years. I can't wait.

Watch, after the final gun there will be a couple of trolls who tell us we're all stupid to watch the Lions. They quit watching and have better things to do. Tiresome...

Fox caught that snap at his own 20 yard line. The punt landed 5 yards into the Cincy end zone. He kicked that ball 80 yards in the air. Amazing.

I think I saw the White Sox fans do that in a playoff loss. But that's to be expected from them. 😆

We'll come back.

You must realize how hard that has been to do. To be so bad, for so long, in a league that prides itself on parity. To always be this bad?

So what, a 5 year rebuild? Or does the fans patience last that long?

He blitzed on 1ST and 2nd down. Got them in a 3rd and 19. Called timeout before the 4th down play because Baltimore was outta time outs. 1st mistake. The next mistake was playing a passive defense and allowing them to convert a 4th down and 19. Two huge coaching mistakes. Sorry, you can't change history.

Our coaches are fine, getting a lot out of a very bad team. At least, defensively. Have they made mistakes? Yup, sure did.

They blitzed on 3rd and 3 earlier and got a sack. Your point?

Rushing 3 on 4th and 19 cost them a game. 0-5.

FTFY

Yeah, I used to. For the last 50+ years. But sure, let's start over and show patience.

The Lions best player is the punter.

It's kinda cute that people thought this game was a win. No receivers and no defense usually equals a loss.

Just play it the same as 1st and 2nd downs. Aggressive. There's a reason we had them in 3rd and long and 4th and long. Or you can change the defense up and play very passive. Which is what we did to lose the game.

Obviously I meant listening. Too much of a hurry.

Talking to NFL analysts, they would tell you it's very hard to cover receivers for an extended period. Give an NFL QB enough time and he will find an open receiver. And it's not like we have a group of All Pros on our backfield. So our coaches knew we are thin on talent in our secondary but don't put any pressure on the QB to check down or to scramble. This is a pure coaching mistake after mistake. I like Campbell but he screwed the pooch on that one. I hope he learned. Oh wait, he did the same thing 2 weeks later. OK.

Ugh...one of the reasons Baltimore was in 3rd and long and 4th and long was we applied heavy pressure. On 4th and 19, no timeouts for Baltimore, we called time out, which gave them time to regroup. Then...we didn't apply any pressure, allowing him to survey the field to find an open receiver. I like Campbell but it was just horrible coaching. Good for our draft position though.

I really hope they win this week but I voted for the Chicago game. Limited talent and injuries don't make me very optimistic. Sign Golden Tate....

It just irritates me a bit that Campbell is getting passes for his coaching mistakes. Yes, he's learning on the job with very limited quality players but the bad calls end on him alone. Not the assistants. And he would admit it, he seems like a stand up guy. And his motivation ability can't be questioned, I think he's already gotten more from his limited quality players. I really do like the guy but I'll be the first to call him out on his questionable calls. Going for 2 to take the lead in Minny took some stones. Was it ever asked if Minny let Swift score to preserve time? It was like he was barely touched. Naaaaaa...
