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.

I’ll point out some of what I mean and it could be that I got worn out watching Michigan do the same. I saw very little attacking the middle routes or deep. Lots of sideline to sideline plays not allowing our speed to have much of an impact. Even in the run game I saw mostly attacking between the tackles and rarely running outside.

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.

If Anzalone holds on to that INT, that's probably a TD.

The O line is my biggest concern. GB dominated both lines

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

Ok you’ve lost me here. This is not a bad team. Do they need to improve and improve quickly, absolutely. Is losing to a highly likely playoff team on the road in game one mean it’s over, absolutely not.

I agree. The secondary will figure it out. Branch and Kerby, Reed and Arnold (if healthy), they’ll be fine.

Ratledge and Mahagony got worn down today. They need to get in NFL shape.

[Motown Bombers]

Why do people quote TP? He needs therapy. 

[MichiganCardinal]

I need Goff to not get hurt. Dump it off or get pulled for Allen. No sacks right now.

[Motown Bombers]

I love how they are praising the speed and closing ability of Parsons because he chased down the slowest QB in the league. 

[TP_Fan]

Anyone with optimism isn’t watching this disaster.  This is a lost year.

It went from one our biggest strengthens to a weakness all in one season. Can we get Ragnow out of retirement? Does Kevin Glover have another season in him?

He’s a nice guy when I met him in person!!

These coordinators are pigeons.

Did TeSlaa play at all today?

It’s not just a loss on the road though, we got worked. Wasn’t as close as score/stats shows

I think that's a catch. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Holy **** what a grab. That’s a touchdown

Yes! Lol

[Jason_R]

OL got its collective head handed to it today. We thought it might happen and it did. But the offense started slow last season too. Anyway, they better get right next week against Chicago. 

[Motown Bombers]

That's OBJ caliber catch. 

[holygoat]

That TeSlaa catch was insane. The sole bright spot of a terrible game.

[Jason_R]

Maybe they could have, you know, tried to throw him the ball.

A loss is a loss. With a team as talented as the Lions should be, how bad they look and the score doesn’t really matter to me.

The stars didn’t forget how to play football they will get it fixed just a matter of how quickly.

I can't recall one target of TeSlaa before that amazing catch he just had. Nothing else was working today, why not work him in sooner?

[Motown Bombers]

The issue wasn't the receivers, it was the line. 

[gehringer_2]

No sacks today.
