Time for the offense to step up and make the defense injuries a non-issue.

Only in Detroit can we go from a secondary signing to high profile CBs, a very high profile Safety, have a rookie showing up like he's headed for the pro-bowl... and now the unit has turned into a liability.

That does not look good for Branch.

NOOOOOOO

They scored more in this half then in the full game of their previous wins and yet, yeah... it feels like they left some on the field.

4 sacks in the half.

Unreal...

Who was the other guy Meyers or something? He done anything?

3 and out!

In honor of some smashmouth football, here's my latest hobby featuring Chris Spielman.

Slide man... do NOT take the hit please!

You mean the 2nd down play that got 7 yards? I'm never going to complain about 7 yards on a 2nd down play.

There is a LOT of blue in the stands. A LOT of blue.

Much better second drive.

Defense did a good job though keeping it to just 3.

That's not a good start.

After Goff's horrible "Lion's Leap" celebrating his touchdown...

The rumor out there at the time too was that he asked his players to do that if they won.

I am firmly of the opinion that some people who are excellent coordinators are just not cut out to be HCs. That's not a knock on them... there's only 64 NFL coordinator positions in the world (not counting ST coordinators I guess) so that's a very, very high achievement to reach. Being a HC requires different skills than being a coordinator so we shouldn't just assume great coordinator = good (or great) HC.

I don't know if I agree with that. Now obviously this is a simplistic stat line, but the Falcons have a LOT more yards than the Packers did in that game.

Supposedly the defense was hampered by noise against the Seahawks. Supposedly they didn't anticipate that the crowd would be that loud and it made it hard for them to communicate. Yesterday they used more non-verbal communication. Now, IF that was the problem, then with Seattle... first: bad on the coaches for not understanding how crazy the fan base is and how much they want to cheer for a winner. But second: they obviously fixed the problem against the Falcons.

Must win. Seriously though, this would be a bad one to lose. Doing so would put Green Bay in the NFC North driver seat. Losing this would absolutely NOT mean that the Lions aren't going to win the division, but meaning "lookin up" at the Pack instead of leading.
