Okudah has come back from a torn achilles to flash potential of being a shutdown corner. 

might wanna re-think that one.

Good thing they brought in the extra lineman…coaching malfeasance out there today. 

[Hongbit]

This first half is a complete disaster.

lol they are imploding. Another holding. Sewell having a rough game. 

[TP_Fan]

I don’t think they ever looked this bad in the Patricia era. 

[Motown Bombers]

"The mobility of Jared Goff made that happen" is not something I expected to hear.

levi onzuwirke, josh paschal, dj chark, deandre swift, hai vaitai, jonah jackson, amon ra st brown, romeo okwara, john cominsky jameson williams, jerry jacobs, tracy walker.

your team has two playmakers on offense and theyre both hurt.  youre playing a backup center at guard and a backup tackle at the other guard.  your defense stinks and theyre down 1/2 their defensive linemen and their best safety.

you still have to win, but come on!  the lions are already not the most talented team and to top it off theyre beat to hell.

but its dan campbell's fault theyre not "ready to play."  a moron sports talk radio caller response.

this game sucks, but there's a reason it sucks and that reason is not dan campbell.

I promise they looked far worse many times in the Patricia era.

I am pissed too, but I still have flashbacks of Fatty Matty’s defensive genius.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

This team blows. Why on earth did I ever think things would be different? There's nothing different thus far. Just the same old Lions.

The whole defense looks awful today. They have injuries with no depth on DL or in secondary, and they have been weak at linebacker for years.

The post I was responding to was SOL-ing about this staff's inability to identify or develop talent. Okudah is markedly better than he was under Fatricia.  

[buddha]

if there is a criticism of the lions its on defense and that should be a criticism of brad holmes and aaron glenn.

holmes drafted ozuwirke and paschal in round two and neither can get on the field.  levi was talented but had red flags of not playing up to potential and a bad back.  both have sprung up.  who knows about paschal.

glenn looked like superman for a few weeks but that defense cant stop anyone right now.  at some point you have to look at the guy calling the plays.

[lordstanley]

1st down inside the 1. In other words, on the edge of our kicker’s FG range! 

[buddha]

btw, jared goff is dealing.  and he's doing it with practice squad and fifth string waiver wire receivers.

kudos to goff so far.

dont feed the troll.

[TP_Fan]

These coaches are just so bad. I can’t believe how bad Campbell and company are. 1st and goal at the inch line and they need to wait for 4th down. Embarrassing. Lucky they scored.

This is a far better than the Patricia era... It's just that the heightened expectations, set in part by playmakers that currently are not playing in this game, are not being met.

It feels like progress tbh, although I understand why many are impatient

Says the guy who says Goff is dealing after he just overthrew hock by 5 feet.

Yeah, it’s luck..70 years of bad luck. 

[Motor City Sonics]

I was going to say that they are lucky to be down by only one possession, but thanks to the kicker, that is no longer true.   

 

Again, what did Riley Patterson do last year that wasn't good enough to bring him back? 

[Motown Bombers]

Kind of surprised they let Patterson go.

[MichiganCardinal]

For what it’s worth (as the soon to be unemployed kicker misses another free point), this is a game we’d have lost by 40 last year. There is improvement out there. Just squint your eyes and turn your head.
