NYLion Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 The Lions tried everything to SOL this game but ultimately didn't. I thought this was earmarked for a 16-15 loss the moment the Packers kicked the field goal to make it 15-9. Nice to see the young guys ball out. Joseph has been a revelation and then he gets hurt of course but he looks like a player. Barnes looking good too, Paschal as well. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Good for them. The defense played a hell of a game today but the offence...........not good at all. I know they are missing receivers but it's time for the Lions to just start going forward without Swift. If he's not healthy enough to be good, why is he playing at all. Not going to question a man's pain tolerance who gets in car accidents for a living, but it's pretty clear he's not going to be durable. Quote

They just haven’t had the depth to win close games. But the Pack had like five or six key guys go out today. The Lions did enough to hang on. Good for them, and for their rookies who said to hell with draft position, let’s make plays. Was good to see the secondary being more aggressive today. Seems like DC’s message got through. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Kirk Cousin........1pm games. Glad they won.........takes Green Bay further out of it. 1 Quote

If you thought the Lions were going to be good THIS year, especially after the last 50 years, joke’s on you. Turn that around. If you think the Lions are going to be good next year, or the year after, after the last 60 years, the jokes on all of us. 😁😁 Quote

We were talking only about the secondary. Secondary coach (Pleasant) gets dumped and the aggressiveness gets ramped way up... Yeah, I think Campbell's/ DC's message and desire got through to them...

I mean, the Lions have had 5-6 key guys out all year, at minimum, so that excuse for another team doesn't hold water with me. Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 I recorded the game and am watching it tonight. From the sound of it though, we outplayed Green Bay from start to finish. From the box score at least, it sounds like Kerby Joseph had himself a game, which is something we desperetley needed. That is, growth from a defensive player. Excited to see just how he played.

Excited to see just how he played. we did not outplay green bay. they turned the ball over in the end zone twice and on the goal line a third time. we got some good turnovers for once. kerby joseph played his butt off. jeff okudah decided to injure our players but we survived...

Hongbit Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Ugly wins count the same. It’s great to get a victory. 6 more and they’re a playoff team. Quote

What excuse? It is a fact. The Lions lost games when they were decimated by injury. Green Bay was decimated by injury today. The NFL is a game of attrition. Green Bay had bad injury luck today. Detroit took advantage. Good for them. Quote

My point is, nobody is saying that the Lions had bad injury luck. It's always, the Lions just suck that's all. Even today, with Green Bay's injuries, the Lions were still ravaged by injury. They're still missing most of their receivers, their star RB was barely a factor (as much as Aaron Jones was) adn are without their best defensive player for the rest of the season, their highest paid defensive player and the guy who was their best defensive player in this game got knocked out of this game by his own teammate so, with all due respect, I'd rather not hear about the poor Packers injury luck being the major reason why the Lions won.

Motown Bombers Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Lions only 1 game behind the Rams. It's very possible the Rams pick could be better than the Lions pick. Quote
