Ok defense. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Why aren't we calling timeout before the two minute warning?

We have all of our timeouts.  No need too. 

[TP_Fan]

Texans special teams have been considerably better too.  Great punt return earlier. And on their first punt they pin the lions and fully flip the field. 

[TP_Fan]

Ok.  Get it freaking moving. What are we doing???

[MichiganCardinal]

Just waving the white flag.

[Motown Bombers]

Surprised they aren't being more aggressive. 

[TP_Fan]

Wow. The lions have just given up. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What kind of conservative playcalling is this? Did Lloyd Carr and Mike DeBord take over playcalling tonight?

They quit. They just quit. 

[MichiganCardinal]

The way they treated that drive, they might as well pull all the starters in the second half. If you're not going to try, at least don't get hurt.

I won’t panic until I see whether the Lions are able to make halftime adjustments. 

[TP_Fan]

Ben Johnson regression is real. Wow. What a flop on national tv. 

[number20]

Texans' game plan is showing the league how to beat the Lions

 

[TP_Fan]

And this is what you get when your coaches quit on you.  2 min drill and they just waived the white flag.  I’ve never seen such quit out of a coaching staff in my life. This is shocking.  Absolutely shocking that they didn’t even bother trying.

Or and hear me out. There is this thing called halftime where they could regroup

I won't panic either way. They could lose 49-7 and they'll still likely finish 13-4 or better

[TP_Fan]

Weird what happens when your coaches don’t quit on you. 

[Sports_Freak]

Remember the Baltimore game last season. Get the rotten egg game out of the way, I guess. Maybe we won't go 16-1?

[Motown Bombers]

I'm reminded of the words of one of the great philosophers of our time. A one Richard "Rip" Hamilton once said, "If it aint rough, it aint right."

[MichiganCardinal]

Bad offense, bad defense, bad special teams. Probably a loss.

Time for all the overreactions to something that means one game in the grand scheme of a season.

[chasfh]

Heyyyyy … I’m starting to think we might not win this game …

Yeah, perspective. 

[Adullin]

Offensive line is letting the team down 

[number20]

Touchdown. And they get the ball to start the 3rd quarter
