Obviously he didn’t do any of this. He also didn’t have them prepared for all the blitz. At least that’s my opinion.

Minnesota is disguising their coverages. It's more on Goff than whoever is calling the plays.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Well that's it. Damn. 

[Adullin]

Turn around and play defense 

[TP_Fan]

Hahahahahah, they are just a better football team.  game over.  Loser coaches at every level.  Fire Morton forever.  Shepard with huge regression. Fipp needs to go.   Campbell continues to not have this team prepared. Changes need to be made. 

[MichiganCardinal]

John Morton should be sweating

[sagnam]

That sucked

[Mr.TaterSalad]

A really dreadful performance today all around. This one isn't on Goff or LaPorta, they looked good. But this team looked like dog **** otherwise.

If Nailor didn't make the catch the Lions probably would have won the game. But the Lions didn't deserve to win. This game makes me question some of the assumptions I had made about how the rest of the season would play out.

The Montgomery fumble and the blocked FG cost us the game. 2 of the many, many player mistakes.

Yes, sloppy.

I am the last guy to blame coaching, but special teams got clowned today. And Morton was not good.

I’m not calling for them to be fired like some knee-jerk reactions. But they have to be better if we are going to win the division, conference, or more.

Picking up the blitzes is something the players have been taught all their careers. How many penalties? 10? It's more on the players than the coaches but everyone is to blame. Morton didn't have Montgomery prepared not to fumble? Morton is to blame for horrible special team breakdowns? The Lions laid an egg...it happens on...Any. Given. Sunday

I long for a pittance of last year's offense

Bears are about to blow it.

It's all about consistency. Lat year's team had it. You knew even through all the injuries the coaching and players were on cue. This team is nothing like that. Just a over the place. Passing game has regressed from last year for sure.

I have to call you out for this because usually I ignore your ridiculous rants, this is a completely moronic take and I know that's your thing but to call Dan Campbell a loser? You deserve the 2008 Lions or to be a Browns fan which is fitting for your posting style.

I agree everybody was bad today from the coaches to the players. But the problem all season has been that this offense has no identity. Last season they started every drive with Montgomery and they ran play action off of him. This season, they have made Gibbs the lead back. I understand why, but this is a different team when they are running it through Montgomery and setting up everything else off of that. I am not sure I saw a single play action drop back today. That is unacceptable when you have the best play action passer in the NFL.

Just a different opinion. No worries. Bad game, but kept pace w/GB. 👊🏻

Im just saying, the players aren't blameless. Yes, Morton called a bad game but if the players executed the plays he called, we may have won. Terrible team loss, nobody is blameless.
