Yeah, it was almost a game. Is our defense really that bad?

But also, maybe all the kids will make this a better D nearer to the end of the season...?

This is the point where I go mow my lawn.   My neighbors are going to be pissed.  

[Motor City Sonics]

This is on Quinn and Patricia...............no talent on this defense.  

[1984Echoes]

[Motor City Sonics]

10:30 PM on Monday night...?

Dude!

[RedRamage]

Well, at least the Tigers won.

[1984Echoes]

Yeah, that looked worse than the snap-fumble...

Just lost his grip on a wet FB...? maybe not all his fault...

[RedRamage]

Well they're not wiping down the ball for the Lions like they did for the Packers, are they?

[CMRivdogs]

Campbell’s already starting to get that Lions coach dead man walking look….

 

Lambeau will do that to you…

Lions will be more games under 500 than the Tigers.

[gehringer_2]

The only question left is 42 or 49. But the answer is always 42 isn't it?

[1984Echoes]

35.

[1984Echoes]

Now let's see the Lions at least try to fight back a little bit here...

[1984Echoes]

There you go...

INT.

End of the game...

[gehringer_2]

3 TO for Goff.

I was thinking that until Rodgers took a shot at the TD...

[1984Echoes]

Should have just shut my mouth...

[romad1]

I remember when NFL games weren't scripted.

[RedRamage]

Well, the end result was pretty much what I assumed would happen, but they showed some life in the first half and it kinda got my hopes up.  Ah well...  I didn't expect a win.  Way too many holes on talent-wise.

Ohh... now this will be a very interesting thing to watch.  Are we measuring based on how many games they need to flip to get to .500?  For example if the Tigers finish 77 and 85, is that 4 games under .500 cause if they turned 4 of those loses into wins they would've been at .500?

I've always read it as the difference between losses and wins. You are 2 games "under 500" if you lose one more game than you win*. Ergo - If the Tigers win 5 of the remaining 11, they're 78-84 = 6 under.  5-12 = 7 under, looks like all this Lions team can aspire to - esp having lost 2 QB from an already weak secondary and their 2nd best OL won't be back for a couple more weeks.

*it can be defined the other way but at least in my experience, I've seldom seen anyone other than people arguing on the internet use the other definition. If you are 50-52, you need to win 2 games to even - so you are 2 back. There is no way to get your past losses back.

They played a decent first half!
