They are really missing Ragnow today and it shows on their run blocking for sure. 

I agree. From what I e seen Glasgow has been terrible.

Arnold with a groin injury is scary. With no pass rush, we need cover guys.

[TP_Fan]

They are vastly superior.  Dan botched the coordinator hires.  And then they didn’t even get them going in preseason. This is coaching malpractice out there. 

[Motown Bombers]

Did the lineman just tackle Hutchinson?

[TP_Fan]

Hutch just isn’t around. He is a non factor. 

[GalagaGuy]

This is awful.  I knew the Lions might not win this game, but they are just awful in all aspects today.  Only bright spot has been Bates and Fox.

The thing about going 12-5 and being a competitive team in the playoffs is that you have to lose five games along the way.

I kid, but it’s also the way I view this game. They’re too talented to not win plenty of games. They’ll be okay.

[TP_Fan]

lol, they are so much better. Lions weren’t even ready for the sneak. They assumed they weren’t going for it. 

[TP_Fan]

Hit him in the backfield gets 6 yards.  They want it more.

I think TP with a single road loss in the division is scarier.

Packers look like the Lions, Lions look like the Packers

In 2023 when they went 12-5 and made it to the NFC Championship Game, they got crushed by the Ravens. 

[TP_Fan]

I don’t think they beat the bears next week. They will be 0-2 headed into Baltimore.  Next week is basically the season.  

[Nate7474]

I will say that normally I think TP has idiotic takes and there are still some of those happening. However at least offensively I’ve seen a pretty poorly called and executed game. So I will agree with him today that these coaches today did not have this team prepared and ready.

I don’t think they even got crushed today. The scoreboard will be more lopsided than the performance.

Two new coordinators and players who haven’t had 60 minutes of game action in 9 months, this is what you get.

[TP_Fan]

Morton can stay his ass in GB. Not one pass further than 2 yards.

Eh. The only sequence I thought was really poorly called was the one backed into their own goal line. You have too many playmakers to call back to back runs up the middle.

Dude, they got absolutely crushed.  Embarrassed off the field. The score is much more flattering than the play. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Mark my words. If I’m wrong I’ll eat it.

They’re going to be okay. They’re going to win a lot of games. This is just one road divisional game against a good team.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

If the interior of our offensive line is this bad we're in a lot of trouble. 

[number20]

Okay time to switch this off

 

[papalawrence]

Really miss the anchor in Ragnow. O line got overrun. Total domination by the pack. Their road schedule is insane. 12-5 might be a reach. But it's week 1. Almost always sloppy in week 1.

[TP_Fan]

Lions are legit bad.  Brad Holmes completely overestimated the roster.  Lines are awful.  Goff can’t move, still.  They don’t have talent.

256-186 in total yards isn’t crushed. If you take away their two-play drive, it’s 191-186.

The story, if any, is 0/3 in the red zone for the Lions, 3/4 for the Packers.
