Yes, the sky is not falling. The defense played great. Weather conditions were bad for throwing the ball, as, obviously, were the conditions of the IOL. The team will get healthier and should have its full complement of players going into the playoffs. 

Right now they are out of the playoffs. With loses to Minnesota and KC. Are we sure they are a playoff team?

Yes. The Lions will likely win 11-12 games.

I know this is crazy to say today but I’ve never felt this good about the defense in the Campbell era.   This is without 4 starters.   

They have one major problem to fix.  Interior OL.   They have to figure out how to play better.  The entire offense is built around a solid line.  Goff with a little protection is lethal for a defense.  Goff under pressure is lethal for us.  

If they can fix it, there’s a big playoff run and maybe even a Super Bowl.  

If they can’t, think about the worst parts of a TP gameday post.

Watching that DPI video to end the game, I agree, the Lions probably wouldn't have scored. But that doesn't change the fact that the refs totally blew another call. No way was that defensive pass interference. These refs should be fined or fired for totally blowing calls like this. Next time it could just as easily be earlier in the game.
