Played two good teams, both games we were uncompetitive.  Schedule gets harder.  Moves need to be made. 

Uncompetitive is not fair to say. We had a TD called back. This game was closer when that is rightly factored in. We screwed ourselves with two crucial mistakes. The St. Brown drop and Hutchison's boneheaded penalty really hurt us. In tight games like us that matters. The refs didn't do that too us, we did it to ourselves.

A couple bounces earlier in the game go our way and it could’ve been a much different score. Mahomes fumble that bounces right back to him and weak pass interference call along with not catching a 4th down conversion. With that said the lions defense allowed to many extra yards on tackles that allowed the Chiefs to have short 3rd down plays which we stopped but then easy 4th down conversions to extend drives killed them early.

I’ll be honest it’s not the first time that Branch has been ridiculous at controlling his emotions. I would not be surprised if he was the one star we have that we let walk or trade of the group that will be getting big raises soon. Great football player but 2 cent brain sometimes and you just knew it was him that started that.

Mahomes and the Chiefs were in complete control of this game. Never once did I feel the Lions had a chance. Whenever they needed a first down Mahomes did the scrambling thing and complete passes. On to the next.. Without stupid Branch probably

Branch let his emotions get the best of him.  No excuse.  It is frustrating when you know going into a game that KC was going to get the calls.  Don't think that's why we lost.  Championship caliber team and QB came to play.  As much as the whole Swift/Kelce stuff annoys me, Travis is such a great player.

I felt like this was a sacrificial loss.  Not saying they gave up or anything  Just think they made a few decision on players (Decker/McNeil) to get them healthy.  After last year, they didn't want to take a chance at losing anyone for the year.  Branch will get suspended and fined but he had an ankle issue and two weeks off isn't the worst thing in the world.  

Edbuka could be out with a hamstring issue and Evans and Godwin are already dealing with injuries.  Could be 2nd string secondary against 2nd string WRs.  Baker is having a MVP type season so far but its at home and we lost this week.  I like our chances.  Curious if Decker and/or McNeil will play.  My guess McNeil will get some reps and they will still sit Decker to get him that extra rest with the bye week coming.  

As I said all year, OL is my biggest concern.  With Manu out, we are very thin.

This along with 10 other holds, false starts, or offsides should’ve been called.     Refs throw the flag on this play and there is no post game fight.   Craig Wrolsted should be suspended by the league as well.

I can imagine the fans of other AFC teams really must be sick of the Chief's force field against penalties.

I’m not saying the NFL definitely has a thing against the Lions, but they’ve been a popular betting pick and their business partners make a bunch more money when the Lions lose.  

Fully expecting the Clete Blakeman or Brad Allen crew at Ford Field on Monday.

This is not the first time Detroit has had points taken off the board by the officials on an arcane point from the rule book in a prime time game. So did Dan talk to the refs about this play before the game? Assuming so, what was that conversation? Did they get out their rule books after and look for a technicality?
