You overlook the fact that a coin toss is a 50/50 proposition. If you have the chance to go to OT at home, go to OT don’t lose the game on 4th down. Also, at that point, the Lions had basically gifted 14 of 31 points to Seattle. Lions defense had held Seattle to multiple FG attempts, most of which Seattle failed to convert. I do agree that we are likely going to regret not taking Carter. Even with Hutchinson they could not get any pressure on Smith.

You have to go for the tie then go to OT at home. You can’t assume you will lose the toss and your defense will get steamrolled.

They had no business being in a game where they had three turnovers, including one returned for a TD. That Montgomery fumble on the first play out of halftime was a disaster. Could have matched down the field and gone up two scores. Instead game was tied.

Three turnovers. And they still almost won. Was alarming that they could not get to Smith with two starting OTs out. But Jerry Jacobs got picked on all day. Moseley can’t get here soon enough.

Man I hate Pete Carroll.

Bad.

The defense is not worse than last year. Seattle scored twice as many points last year. The issue this game is Montgomery's fumble on the first play of the second half. Edit: Also, the dropped third down pass by Gibbs.

Jacobs is getting torched.

How many holds will they get away with?

Houston covering a TE. What could go wrong?

Bucs go ahead of Bears.

Ten plays, eight flags?

Borderline false start #74

Yes, since he finished against KC I just assumed they were resting him. I’ll still be a bit surprised if he doesn’t start.

Boys raise your hand if you bought a Honolulu blue ski mask to wear at home Sunday. Anyone with me?

Former Lions are the best players on the field tonight.

Kirk Cousins lol.

The fumble in end zone touchback rule is terrible but I love seeing this happen to the Vikings.

Roger Goodell in the luxury box with Michael Vick. 😂

Sloppy game. On pace for two dozen turnovers.

Lions release standing room only tickets for home opener against Seattle. It might get loud.

Terrible shame to see Rodgers go down like that. If that really is the end of his career, he deserved to go out on better terms.

The jumping to conclusions here is mind boggling. Why should anybody be surprised that the game plan and personnel groupings for week one — after a preseason in which the first team offense barely played at all, and after a suspension of a promising young receiver — included the veteran Marvin Jones? Yes he was ineffective, and his usage in the second half demonstrated the coaching staff’s recognition of this. Maybe MJJ and Ben Johnson should be taken out back and shot. More likely it will take MJJ a bit of game time to develop chemistry with Goff, just like happened with Chark last year. But if the coaching staff believes MJJ has lost it, something tells me we will find out the week Jaymo comes back.

There is a big difference between pick 5 going for over 100 receiving yards in his debut and pick 177 doing it. Also, Stat Padford put a second unheralded receiver over 100 yards yesterday. All Stat Padford does, beyond winning a Super Bowl, is make stars out of wide receivers and get them paid.

Seattle didn’t really have a signature win last year. Maybe their best win was against the Chargers or Giants. But they seem to have thought they would coast by the Rams today and got embarrassed instead. Geno Smith surprised last year, but it is one thing to surprise people and back into the playoffs, and another thing to live up to playoff expectations. The team lost its composure in the second half today. It could happen again next week in a hostile environment.
