Gotta hand it to the Pack, they came ready to play.

15 isn’t insurmountable but it is if we can’t put a couple drives together.

Typical garbage performance on Turkey Day from the Lions.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.
Re: Detroit Lions 2023
Terrible… just never got it going. Why in the world did it take so long to get moving on the last drive? A lot of that was just inexplicable…MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2023 3:21 pmTypical garbage performance on Turkey Day from the Lions.

Re: Detroit Lions 2023
Last week was a win but they didn't look good against a weak team. This week the same minus the W.
I'm beginning to wonder if the bubble has burst. Or it has a leak if that's possible.

Re: Detroit Lions 2023
The defense has a definite leak… but the offense seems to be having issues now… they’ll make the playoffs and probably win the division but boy howdy would that be an interesting playoff game… that seems to be the pattern they’ve had through the run… win 3 or 4 and then lay an egg and then go on a run… it happened a couple games during the second half run they made last season. Two of the losses have been shootouts with Seattle which is exactly who I’m afraid we’ll draw in a hypothetical playoff game.craig11152 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2023 3:48 pmLast week was a win but they didn't look good against a weak team.

Re: Detroit Lions 2023
I give the Pack coaches great credit; they sussed out practically everything we tried to do on offense, and needless to say, the turnovers didn't help. Combine that with Love playing the game of his career and I'm surprised the score ended as close as it did.
As unlikely as it seems, holding the opposition to six points in the second half gave us every opportunity to get back in the game.

Re: Detroit Lions 2023
Perfect recap moldy. I'd also add the idiotic fake punt call as a reason we lost. Handing the Packers that field position was beyond dumb.moldyoldie wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2023 7:09 pmI give the Pack coaches great credit; they sussed out practically everything we tried to do on offense, and needless to say, the turnovers didn't help.

Re: Detroit Lions 2023
Detroit's comeback effort ended the moment they called their first timeout with just under a minute left in the game. That committed them to an onside kick recovery. Had they instead spiked it, woulda only lost another 10 seconds or so and could have kicked it deep, gotten a 3-and-out, and had the ball back with 20 seconds left or so.

They also needed to not throw to the middle of the field and not take 2:10 just to make it down there.bmw wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2023 7:18 pmDetroit's comeback effort ended the moment they called their first timeout with just under a minute left in the game.
