Game 2: Lions @ Packers - Monday, September 20th 7:15pm

[PeaveyFury]

It would be peak Packers defense to have the Lions completely mismanage the clock and still find a way to give up a TD.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Do they Lions know a) how much time is left and b) that they have three timeouts?

 

Honestly I think they are just planning to wait to score until there's no time left in the half...why hurry when the defense they are facing is offering no resistance when it matters?

It's like they had no faith they would score and were just trying to play keep away from Rodgers. They'll probably still get a td though.

[jjgott]

Has a defensive coordinator been fired after two games?

[MrTPlush]

I think we might suck.

 

We might. It honestly doesn't take a lot to go from a 13-3 team to a 7-10 team in this league.

 

I just want to point out, no team has ever gone from 13-3 to 7-10 in the next year.

[young guns]

Silly lions attacking Alexander.

[PinaMadness]

Actual great coverage by King.

[young guns]

Shouldn't have called the timeout.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Silly lions attacking Alexander.

 

There is no reason to ever throw his way when there are so many guys open everywhere else in the secondary on every play.

 

That's pretty darn good coverage by King there - would've been a circus catch had Cephus gotten his other hand free to corral that.

[PeaveyFury]

What a strange two minute drill by the Lions. Really feels like they played their way out of a 7 there.

[PinaMadness]

Halftime and we have never led in this game.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Why was everyone all chummy at half like the game was over? Lol

[young guns]

They keep talking about it, but was anyone really confident enough in the defense to say there would be "we way" we would be down at half?

[yourout]

Halftime and we have never led in this game.

 

It will be noteworthy when they actually do have a lead in a game this season.

[DuWayne Steurer]

god I forgot how awful chris berman is.

[yourout]

They keep talking about it, but was anyone really confident enough in the defense to say there would be "we way" we would be down at half?

 

Anyone paying attention is not suprised by this.

This is a really really really bad defense.

Halftime and we have never led in this game.

I know the Packers lost the coin toss tonight, but I’m starting to wonder if they’d be better off taking the ball to start each game. Try to score fast and get the other team to play catch up. Otherwise, the Packers have no choice but to come out passing after the defense gives up a quick 14.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I think we will end up winning this game and Detroit really hasn't looked bad in either game this year. But it's hard to be inspired by our Packers thus far.

[yourout]

It's impossible to overstate how bad the Barry hire was/is.

[lcbj68c]

Is Rashan Gary getting any snaps?

[PeaveyFury]

Has a defensive coordinator ever been fired mid-game before? Asking for a friend….

[nodakfan17]

I gotta admit I like the white pants on the Lions.

I think it’s a good look at night under the lights, but would be uninspiring during a day game.

[nodakfan17]

The announcers just said ‘let’s give some credit to this Detroit defense’ … who allowed a TD on 66.7% of the Packers’ possessions.

[yourout]

And they are going to be playing catch up in the rain.

[PinaMadness]

So that's what it's like to have the lead.
