For a beat it sure felt like the Lions could take over this game. The D made a stop, they were driving, about to go up 7… and then the turnover happened and it’s been all Panthers since.

Just can’t happen.

Glad we get the ball 1st in the 2nd half. Down 24-7 and after giving up an opening drive TD. Yeah, I'll never agree with that coaching decision.

If they don’t score a touchdown on this first possession, and with conviction, this game is practically over.

I for one understand what you meant. 

If I need to make a statement that one of my 1822 posts here was stupid I’m ready and able. Only one though, not conceding any others. 😉 

[Sports_Freak]

No urgency.

Media question: Chris Myers was one of the top ESPN Sportscenter hosts at one time. How did he drop to being the play by play guy on the eighth team for Fox?

Well, that’s it. Sacked on third and three.

See ya next year, boys.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

They have to get 7 on this drive given the way that Carolina's offense has dominated this game.

On to the draft. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Hey look, is that bum Brian Burns.

Defer the 2nd half kick too.

I'm happy with meaningful games in December. Very unexpected.

Sorry but does giving up 240 yards rushing in a half appear in the realm of realism?

yes.

it happens, man.  teams have bad games.

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

[Hongbit]

Defense needs to make a play and get the momentum back on our side

He was cut from ESPN in a cost cutting round. Signed on with fox when they tried to compete, but has been pushed down the ladder with a contract still in place.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Yikes, they are just running all over us.

[MichiganCardinal]

This should cool the talk of Aaron Glenn as Head Coach for at least a week

[buddha]

how many tackles has okudah missed today?

What did they win, 3 in a row on the road? That's really hard to do in the NFL. Crowd next week at home is still going to be crazy.

[sagnam]

Hahahahah.  Amazing.  This is the best way to lose a game.  Have the bad shoved down your throat.  Repeatedly.

[MichiganCardinal]

Panthers offense is really a one trick pony with the run, but it’s the only trick they’ve needed 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What is it about Sam Darnold and beating the crap out of the Lions?

[buddha]

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

[MichiganCardinal]

How was there no safety help on 3/13??
