If anyone thought the Lions would be a good team this season that says more about them than the team. Their roster is still thin, and has been decimated by injuries. They are playing rookies out of necessity. Root for the rookies to fail if you want, but if they end up failing that is not a good sign for next season. 

Next season will be a major talent injection, with Jaymo being like a third first round pick, and the additional second from teasing Hock. (Do we root for Mitchell to fail down the stretch as Hock’s replacement?)

I've been hearing these excuses for over 50 years. Not very original. Yeah, it's November but just wait until next year. We're gonna be good.....oh please.

It’s not an excuse. If you thought the Lions were going to be good THIS year, especially after the last 50 years, joke’s on you.

Well they are a young team and can build for the future.

Guys playing for jobs

You play to win the game.

Or whatever else bs coach speak cliche that isn't backed up by any evidence you feel like.

I know they aren't tanking. I just don't know what to root for at this point if we end up losing today. Root for improvement I guess.

What is wrong with Kerby Joseph intercepting that pass? Doesn’t he know it is better to lose this game than to win it? Stupid rookie. 

[Jason_R]

Three delay of games not called against the Packers so far.

The Lions must lose for draft position but also win because of the Giants and Jets.

[Jason_R]

WTF Hutch!?! Stupid rookie. 🤣

[Hongbit]

Why do they always play such soft coverage.  

[Hongbit]

Barnes is all over the field

[Motown Bombers]

Best game of Barnes career and we aren't even through the 2nd quarter.

Passing on a chance to put 3 points on the board early..............my breaking point.   Fire Campbell.   

[Motor City Sonics]

Did Campbell finally make a decent challenge? 

[MichiganCardinal]

They’re moving back

[Motor City Sonics]

The guy on the broadcast thinks that\s Incomplete? 

 

I don't think the ball hit the ground............plus it's the Packers..............They aren't overturning that. 

[Hongbit]

Will Harris makes a great play that would be overturned if he played for 31 other teams.  

[Motor City Sonics]

Whoa.........they overturned that?   Shocked. 

[romad1]

If you are penalized for a late hit...do you egg on the refs?

[Motor City Sonics]

Packers totally imploding and the Lions can't take any advantage it because you know when halftime adjustments get made, they won't have an answer.

Pretty sure he was egging on the fans but he should get hit with another penalty.

Dan Campbell = Marty Morningwheg with better quotes.

The tough guyization of NFL coaches is mystifying for me.  Why do they all have to look like they just rolled in from beating up a narc with their biker gang?  I laughed when the coach of the Vikings was given a tough guy beard to go with his rolly polly middle aged dude body.   I'd rather we went with the cerebral look.

... Does the NFL have a problem with toxic masculinity?    LOL

[Motor City Sonics]

Where have all the points in the NFL gone?      Lost to dumb coaches going for it on 4th down too often and not taking the 3 points.
