Lions @ Packers Game 4

[adambr2]

Did we prepare offensively for this game at all? I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure their defense isn't the '85 Bears.

Hey MLF…some plays where we pass the ball quicker may help…may

[HarryDoyle]

I am absolutely shocked that Newman still wears an NFL uniform.

I'm not..... It's the Packers way.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I get that some of the guys playing on the line are backups, but they are still NFL players and should be expected to perform to some sort of minimum standard. When the RB is being met by linebackers as he's taking the ball, the line isn't doing even the bare minimum.

If I’m Jones I’m requesting a trade.   

[OldSchoolSnapper]

We aren't good but that is fine, I didn't really expect us to be. We were bad last year with Rodgers so I don't have high expectations based on how the defense has performed in spite of some talent. But their WRs are either bad or incredibly raw, they are paying a franchise money to a LT whose career is over...there is just a lot going wrong. 

I felt going in this would take a year or two to hit reset.

The Packers D line makes 3rd and 1 look so easy for the other team. 

[adambr2]

The pass rush is not getting home, and with no Jaire, it needs to get home.

Not to mention we probably have the worst set of safeties in the NFL.

[adambr2]

Holy smokes did we ever draft the wrong St. Brown brother. 

[homer]

Matt LaPorta is pretty good

[CheezWizHed]

No Douglas either.  

[yourout]

Branch would have been a day one starter for this defense.

Van Ness maybe decent someday but I would much rather have Branch.

We could've had both... Lions drafted Branch with the 2nd round pick we traded to them.

[HarveysWBs]

The lions can basically convert whatever they want.  They’re in the process of taking out decades of frustration, and I can’t even begrudge them this.  They should run this thing up.  Maybe the Packers will come to terms with exactly where they are as a franchise.

And I don’t mean to say I expected a good team.  I thought 8 wins is about as good as we could possibly expect, as in the high end of our outcomes.  But this team needs to accept they aren’t as strong in places they seem to think aren’t problems.

Ugh.... That makes it 10 times worse

[HarryDoyle]

And now Musgrave is being evaluated for a concussion.

[yourout]

Complete domination.

[jason21nl]

Maybe we made the mistake of overvaluing some of our guys…

[adambr2]

Let's keep in mind we only have 3 points because the Lions spotted us 3 points.

[HarryDoyle]

On the plus side, my fantasy kicker is having a field night.

[yourout]

Love may end up in the ER before this one is done.

[adambr2]

We didn't call a timeout after 1st down because....why? Just being stupid? Carrying them over to the 2nd half?

[HarryDoyle]

Hey, a first down. In garbage time of the first half.
