Motown Bombers

This Tampa team won 9-0 against Carolina last week and Carolina fumbled a ball in the redzone that went out the endzone.

I really question Sirianni's job security. This team looks like it quit.

The Eagles are without AJ Brown. He could be back next week. The Eagles have a higher ceiling so I don't want them to figure it out.

I've learned not to judge Holmes draft picks for 3 years. We've seen McNeil, Barnes, and Melifonwu all make big improvements in year 3.

This Eagles team can't tackle. Just looks like poor effort.

I would rather play a good running team since that is the strength of the Lions defense.

I hate Patricia as much as anyone, but the defense was bad before Patricia started calling plays. That's the reason he's calling plays. Also, Patricia didn't design the defense.

I have to say, Patricia looks like he lost a lot of weight.

There have been some reports of dysfunction in their locker room.

Motown Bomber is trademarked. I'll accept royalties.

I can totally see Romo chopping down his door and sticking his through and saying here's Tony.

So far it looks like the only competitive playoff game was the Lions game.

I also want to point out that the Rams rested a lot of their starters and lost.

I think James Houston's evaluation period is up this week. Either they add him to the roster or he remains on IR. Maybe he plays next week.

I read Rams fans saying McVay is so much smarter than Campbell because Campbell went for it on 4th and 5 in the red zone instead of kicking a FG. Now they are all mad at McVay for kicking FGs instead of going for it.

I remember that. I also remember a game late in 2011 against the Saints (not the playoff game) in which the Lions lost it because of personal foul penalties and Raiola was in the locker room calling players out telling them to basically grow up.

As much maligned as the Lions defense has been, they have given up 23, 20, 20, and 24 points the last 4 games. Not elite but good enough with this offense.

The Rams ran motion on 91% of their plays. I'm actually surprised they didn't have any false start or delay of game penalties. McVay, by far, leads the league in timeouts to prevent delay of game penalties. Those timeouts were huge in this game and also huge in their loss to the Ravens. The Lions also struggle against motion and Minnesota, with O'Connell being a coach under McVay, run a similar style motion offense. I think they can do better against Tampa or the Eagles.

I was reading Rams fans before the game saying how much smarter McVay was than Campbell. He clearly out coached McVay. If Campbell was 5'9 and 160 pounds with glasses and didn't mention biting off kneecaps, people would talk about how analytical and smart he is. He's been perfect at blending the rah-rah football and analytics. It truly has been a great hire. I don't think any other team interviewed Campbell.

I figured Cowboys fans would want to see that they are no longer the only team the Lions have beaten in the playoffs in the Super Bowl era.

I really want the crowd in the next game to get a fire Weaver chant going.

The tackle is clearly beat and you can see him behind Hutchinson reaching around. If not for that hold, Stafford was going to get clocked.

The refs also swallowed the whistle on the obvious hold on Hutchinson on that pass interreference. At worst it should have been offsetting penalties.
