Week Sixteen: Detroit Lions (7-7) @ Carolina Panthers (5-9)

[sagnam]

Beautiful deep ball by Goff/Darnold.

[buddha]

melifonwu and kirby joseph have been god awful today.  the secondary has been garbage for the last 3 or 4 games.

bring back aubrey pleasant!  lol.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Welp, we're not going to the playoffs. Not that I ever expected us to, but this late season rally was fun while it lasted 

[Jason_R]

Embarrassing. 

[Hongbit]

It the Philly game all over again.  Let’s see if we can come back again. 

[Jason_R]

Too late to establish the run. Time to start chucking it. 

[sagnam]

Hopefully this game reminds GM’s that not all OCs who coach a well-oiled machine will work out as a head coach!

okudah has been terrible ever since he got sick amd missed a game.

He's just not very good. Should have known. At OSU, they always played patsies in non-conference games. And they always had a great pass rush, never exposing him to wide receivers finishing their routes. Very over-rated player.

yes.

it happens, man.  teams have bad games.

this reminds me of the pats game.  get down early and then get steamrolled.

It can't happen in a must win game, says a lot about the character of the team. It's not that they're losing, they aren't even close to making a play and the effort has been pathetic. This is one of the worst games I've ever seen a Lions team play and there's A LOT to choose from, that should never be acceptable or chalked up to as "one of those games" IMO.

[TP_Fan]

Frauds the whole way. 

[TP_Fan]

Biggest concern is they brought zero effort. Didn’t even care about winning

Also, where's Alim McNeil today?

[sagnam]

Is Darnold a free agent next year?

That's my biggest concern as well. They just didn't bring any effort to this game as if they have no interest in playing in the cold.

It's imperative that they at least show effort and play well the last two games or else that 6-1 stretch will mean virtually nothing.

[sagnam]

24 points in 15 minutes!

[TP_Fan]

Don’t tell me we don’t need to draft a QB. You ain’t ever winning with Goff.

What are we guessing the rushing total for Carolina today?  400? 420? 450? 500?

420, of course...........I've got gummies.......if anyone wants them.   Only takes half a gummy for me.  The supply I have will last 6 months..........

[Motor City Sonics]

What time does A Christmas Story start? 

[Aar000n]

Defence look like trash. This is just a bad showing against an average team.

The more you take, the less it delivers.  Exactly like being a Lions fan.  

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Two running backs, neither of whom are Christian McCafferry, and we give up 100+ yards to both backs. Carolina comes in with the 24th ranked offense and Sam Darnold at QB and we are down 24 points to them.

I'm pretty conservative.   Really, honestly, half a gummy an hour before I go to bed, and not every  night.   Can't imagine what two of them would do to me.
