Listening live and Dan sounded somewhere between annoyed and disappointed to report this.

The offense excites me for the future but it doesn’t take away the burn of giving up 48 at home. Being 1-3 sucks. Having lost the three games by a combined 10 points doesn’t really make it suck less.

No doubt, and I’m sure Campbell knows that too, or will upon further reflection. I didn’t want to hear the same nonsense we seem to hear week in and week out though. I seriously doubt Paschal will be an immediate impact player as a rookie coming off injury who missed all of training camp. But if he’s just good enough to get a little attention off of Hutch, that’s all we need…. To maybe make a team punt…. Once.

The Seahawks schemed around the blitz. They were getting rid of the ball too quickly on those many bootlegs for anyone to get home. I would point the finger at Charles Harris and Julian Okwara more than Hutch anyway. Hutch was getting double teamed, and we need someone to win one-on-one if they’re putting two on Hutch.

I’m not a doctor but this sounds no better than putting Tua out there four days later.

He sounds as pissed as we feel. Say what you will but it’s refreshing to not hear coach speak after every loss.

It’s too easy to blame this exclusively on Aaron Glenn (whose seat is not even warm FWIW). There was a complete and utter lack of leadership on the defensive ball today. NO ONE stepped up to make the play that mattered. Not The #2 pick Hutch, not the captain Anzalone, not the #3 pick Okudah, nobody. Rodgers just threw a pick six though so I feel a little better.

It’s crazy that this offense was missing Swift, ASB, Chark, Jaymo, and two starting lineman, and still put up 45. It’s crazier that it wasn’t enough to win.

Meh. The offense is still clicking. Blaming Matt Patricia for the defense that’s here isn’t going to last as an excuse much longer though.

In year two if this is the best your defense can do, you need to figure it the fuck out real quick.

Not a single punt. Not one.

One stop is all it would take to win this game and they are just completely lost. Probably going to take a Seahawks mistake.

I seriously don’t think the defense could make a stop if their life depended on it.

I should add, it was in the mid-20s when they snapped it. So why wasn’t it killed at 30-something?!?

That entire sequence was one of the more outrageous sequences I’ve seen. And I’ve seen a LOT of highway robbery against the Lions. I did notice a play clock error, because it reset to 40 inexplicably while the Seahawks approached the line. You’re living in another reality though if you say that it affected the play at all.

There was NOT a whistle before that play. NOTHING.

Crowd is really getting into it for the first time today

Game threads are funny things.

Ushers are currently walking up and down aisles recruiting for Wide Receivers.

Defense should just wave the white flag and beg for mercy at this point

LOLions

He’s out here at halftime nailing extra points when it doesn’t matter. So we’ve got that going.

For what it’s worth (as the soon to be unemployed kicker misses another free point), this is a game we’d have lost by 40 last year. There is improvement out there. Just squint your eyes and turn your head.

I promise they looked far worse many times in the Patricia era. I am pissed too, but I still have flashbacks of Fatty Matty’s defensive genius.
