the reason the lions are losing this game has nothing to do with time outs and everything to do with lack of talent.

the eagles are also a really good team, which some of you dont seem to realize yet.

Yes and yes.

The only real disappointment was the lack of offense in the first half, but Philly is gonna be a division winner when this season is said and done. They aren't chumps

Lol calls a timeout and the first play out is a 24 yard run plus a 15 yard penalty. 

Same mistakes he made last season. He talks about "no turds allowed", he should look in the mirror when making statements like that.

The coaching has been horrendous. Yes, lack of talent, but to turn a blind eye to how poor the coaching is is missing the what's going on in this game.

3rd and 10 and they call a draw play. Lucky he got it. But what a gutless play call. 

[Motown Bombers]

Only took one half to turn on the coaching staff.

[TP_Fan]

Williams with the drop. Goff with a clean pocket and he checks down. That’s all he ever does. 

[Jason_R]

Goff has hit two or three guys right in the hands today. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Goff had Chark open downfield that he could have went to there.

Coaching staff, Holmes, whoever. This is supposed to be their "adrenaline" game at home to start the season and they've been destroyed in this game. I didn't expect them to be Philly but at least be competitive, show a pulse.

Williams had no one around him. That's very likely a first down. It was the right read.

Its understandable, but folks always seem clear eyed about this being a multiple year project when it isn't gameday, while wanting to fire the coaching staff into the sun on Gameday.

This team is a work in progress. As bad as this game has been, they do look better than last year. But growth takes time and often isn't linear

[Jason_R]

Hit him in the hands. 

[Jason_R]

Goff is even slower than Stafford. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!

Yeah but can Stafford break ankles in the secondary like Goff?

[Hart]

The moment we traded Stafford, this became a four or five your rebuild.  That is unacceptable in the NFL and also why it was a bad trade.  Two years wasted on Goff and then two or three more years trying to figure out if we found our qb of the future.  

[TP_Fan]

That is such a bad call. God almighty.

What do you propose to do with a QB who doesn't want to play for you and asked to be traded?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What the hell was that? I get we can't stop anyone today, but still . . .

[buddha]

bears are winning.  what a shitty sunday.

congrats to the niners in finding thr only qb worse than justin fields.

[buddha]

Brad Holmes was part of taking a franchise as dysfunctional as the Lions and turning it into a perennial contender.

I'm open to what they are doing here

[TP_Fan]

Lions losing control.  

[buddha]

board with the missed tackle.  walker hits him in the head.

starting to unravel now.

they just cant stop a running qb.  hard to do with shitty linebackers.

[TP_Fan]

This team is hot fucking garbage. The coaching is next level bad.
