Well it was a fun season till today

It was my favorite Lions season in the 55+ years I've watched them.

What a pathetic showing.

[Sports_Freak]

Well, we have a half to catch up. But we need multiple stops. And a turnover or 2.

[TP_Fan]

Same Old Lions come roaring back.  Say it ain’t so.  Tell me they change the narrative in the second half.  But man alive.  Goff isn’t it man.  

[RandyMarsh]

I'm legit stunned by Goff's play. The defense getting torn apart was something I envisioned but I did not expect Goff to completely **** the bed like this.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

The most dominate team in the league and they're getting punched in the mouth at home.

[MichiganCardinal]

It’s a long way from over. The Washington D is like soft butter.

But you need to stop gifting them points, and the D needs to make an adjustment. Simple as that. Do those two things and you win this game.

[JayB]

More beer for me on the bandwagon it seems...

Halfway to the biggest catastrophe in Detroit sports history. They have the talent to pull this out but coaches are going to come up with the halftime adjustments of their lives. 

[MichiganCardinal]

This is the loudest I’ve heard Ford Field. The 3/14 and 4/1 stop early, my ears were ringing. Like concert pit level noise.

So far the team isn’t taking any advantage.

[lordstanley]

I predict Lions 49 Commanders 41 

[Sports_Freak]

Turnovers were a 10 to 14 point swing.

The way he stepped up on the last play, and given what we’ve seen the last two years, I was absolutely certain that was going to be a practically routine TD pass to Jameson. NOT an interception.

You may ask yourself, "Where is mybeautiful game?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have we done?"

They need a steady diet of Gibbs in the second half.

I don't know. The Wings were a #1 seed one year and lost to the Ducks? I still remember Osgood crying

And some defensive stops.

That was hockey, this is the NFL. This would be 100x worse, IMO.

Gonna need some luck too like SF got against us last year with our miscues. 

[RatkoVarda]

how realistic is it to expect even 2 second half punts from Wash?

they need some turnovers; but they have few playmakers on D

Yeah, it is a more popular sport. But even last seasons loss in the NFC Championship was a horrible 2nd half. That was pretty heartbreaking. This game? We have an entire defensive team on IR.

[lordstanley]

This is like Michigan vs TCU.

The defensive players on IR would make up a top-ten starting defense.
