Those 2 early TDs. Damn

 

It was really decided with the first drive of the game. Three and out. Buffalo basically decided that Montgomery was not going to beat them. He didn’t. By the time Detroit’s offense adjusted the deficit was too big. 

Also, Kerby Joseph has not had an INT in several games. He was really a game changer for a while.

So the Lions and Goff basically did what Allen and the Bills did last week. Crazy.

Bears next week.  In Chicago. 

I would put money on Lions -21.

That why I say you kick it right at them. 

Yeah, why not. If you fire it at a guy  dodgeball, it either bounces off the guy and back to you, or if he is able to duck out or the way the defense gets the ball another 10 yards or so further back

Lions need a 4-TD 2nd half just to have a shot. And even that might not be enough. 

They got it. And it wasn’t.

Yep, yeah the offense scored 42 but they didn't have many if any real long clock killing drives which is what they really needed and that was because Buffalo stopped the run game from the start causing the Lions to have to play from behind and rely on big passing plays and quick drives.

Goff throws for almost 500 yards, 5 TDs, no INTs, and loses. He's basically Matthew Stafford.

It's going to be a tough game, the Bears always play the Lions tough no matter how bad the Bears are or how good the Lions are.

This was it. Without Hutch we need to protect the defense by controlling the clock. Can’t do that if you are down 14-0.

He was basically Josh Allen vs Stafford and the Rams.

I wouldn’t be at all shocked if it’s KC over Buffalo in the playoffs. Until Buffalo shows it can win when it matters.

They beat an undefeated KC team and a 1 loss Lion team. IMO, they're the favorites for a Super Bowl appearance. Their defense doesn't look that great but Josh Allen is incredible.

Lions haven't lost 2 in a row since 2022? October of '22, I think?

Aaron Glenn can take a job at any time now.

Down 14 in the 1st quarter is no reason to stop trying to run the ball. We just laid an egg, a very rare bad game.

If only you could hear how stupid you sound.

[TP_Fan]

Exactly right.

Deflecting all the blame on himself. It's why players love playing for him. The Lions are going to destroy Da Bears next week.

Stop quoting TP. He needs a therapist.

I would not advise that.  It’s likely the game where the bears break their losing streak.

Be a man.  Imagine being so fragile you need to block people on a message board.

It will be like the 41-10 game two years ago coming out of the Carolina game. It will not be close.

Last week in the Vikings-Cardinals game the announcers quoted the Vikings DC as saying that he doesn’t run a man defense every week because he doesn’t think it’s sustainable.

I think this kind of output gives some truth to that.
