Week Four: Seattle Seahawks (1-2) @ Detroit Lions (1-2)

[RandyMarsh]

Wow just got in and turned on the game, what the hell happened with the defense? Well other than they suck of course. I'm guessing they haven't gotten any bit of pressure on Smith all game.

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. 

Ran the clock out though, albeit unintentionally.  How much confidence would you have in the defense not giving up a last-second FG if the Lions had scored with 25 seconds instead?

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

can you go be a "fan" of another team?  all you do is complain about every single play call.  it must be exhausting to be you.

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

Goff may be mediocre, but he's also one of the few reasons this is a one score game

the lions did exactly what they were supposed to do: they scored a touchdown.

some people just find a reason to complain about everything.

As least we get the ball 1st in the 2nd half only down by 9 points. 3 and out?

One 9 point score?

So, think they can get a good LB with the #4 pick next year?     Nah, they'll take another D-Lineman.

goff is mediocre and he has had a really good game.  

its not his fault he's throwing to tom kennedy and khalif raymond.  two guys who are barely nfl players.

How can the defense be so bad?

They have to go for TDs.  Other than kickoffs I wouldn't let that kicker see the field again.   Hell, can Jack Fox kick off?   I don't want to see #17 ever again.

taking a linebacker with the #4 pick unless he can rush the passer on the edge would be monumentally stupid so i dont think brad holmes will do that.

Yes they should have scored with enough time for Seattle to torch our defense once more before the end of the half.

Bad drafting for decades.   Always overlooking LBs year after year after year.   

 

Guys, this was very predictable today.   Nothing changes.   As was said earlier, the only difference is Campbell is likeable.  

[MichiganCardinal]

He’s out here at halftime nailing extra points when it doesn’t matter. So we’ve got that going.

[RandyMarsh]

There's 32 NFL starting kicking spots for the 8 billion people on this planet and this is the best we can find? There's GOT to be somebody better out there than this. 

[Hongbit]

Did they sign Jordan Eberle by mistake

I always put TP on the ignore list when the season starts. It cleans up the game threads until people start quoting him.

the problem is more about the defensive ends than it is the linebackers.  

hey the linebackers arent world beaters, but the lions are getting roasted up front.

Assume nothing with this franchise. Worst run franchise in all of sports. I hope we found a kicker at halftime. 2 missed PATs and an out of bounds kickoff  SOL.

We could have had Micah Parsons.   A lot of us wanted Micah Parsons.   Instead we, for the third time in, what, 10 years, took a TE in the first round..........and they turned out to be average. 

We'll never be good.     As Chuck McGill says "You'll never change, you'll always be Slippin' Kitties"

There's enough to complain about with this team, just don't understand why we need to invent complaints with a guy who played pretty well in the first half.
