Why it's OK to overreact to this game

First, clicks. As you guys know well, my income relies on the $17 a month in ad revenue this site nets. Some might call that greed. I call it 2 Grande Vanilla Caffe’s a month, mother ■■■■■■■.

Second, this wasn’t an occasional odd fluky happening today. This team wasn’t just outclassed. They weren’t just outcoached or out-executed. They were out hustled. The Vikings, from the beginning, wanted it more. IN DETROIT.

That’s problem No. 1.

Problem No. 2? We miraculously left this game with more injuries than we had suffered all season long. Not sure if that’s true or not, but it sure as hell felt that way.

This is 2 straight times this team had a bye after a big win and looked like they didn’t know how to play football afterwards

That’s coaching

100% agree.

Washington killed us in the playoff game last year and today we looked worse.

That’s on Dan Campbell.

I guess Lions should petition to not have a bye week.

I wonder if Brad is re-evaluating the need for some help.

Can he trade for and offensive coordinator, because this shit is uncoordinated

You can celebrate that the Packers lost. The Bears have collapsed, though they do have time.

The Lions couldn’t have looked worse. This is Coaching. Morton is a big problem.

Goff looked bad. Ra had another drive killing drop. Monty fumbled. Bates with a blocked kick. No idea how we only lost by 3

What upsets me is they spent the bye week talking to the media about addressing problems (like involving Jamo and being better on 3rd down) that were just as bad if not worse today. They didn’t improve / address what they admitted they needed to address. That’s coaching.

Lions do need to make some moves. Time to go after it.

1-2 in division games now. That’s why.

“over react” no, it’s not over reaction, when you go from being near the top to fumbling around as a team-like we never played a pro game! this Vikings game was chit from top to bottom and deserves to be complained about-especially after a bye-week off, your supposed to be BETTER or as good as where you left off, not playing like flag-football, children out there in The NFL !!!

Welp. The Bengals are THAT bad

14

That’s a bad stat. Can’t division games

You will not make the playoffs.

I have no confidence in Morton right now

And still feel the lions are a snake bitten

Organization.

Hmmmm…. I’m not sure “more injuries” are the kinda vibes associated with miracles.

And the good news is that a lotta banged-up guys came back into the game. Mahogany looked worrisome.

The thing that bothers me the most in this game was that the Lions—especially both lines, looked soft. We went from biting kneecaps to being Minnesota’s bitch in 10 days. Minnesota hit us in the mouth and we turned and ran.

Most penalties in years, multiple catastrophic special teams disasters.

Those aren’t throw talent at them with trades problems.

What happened today was a repeat of the playoff game.

This is the worst coached game since we’ve been good under this regime.

Definitely not seeing a SB team. Don’t care about PFF the Lions OL isn’t playing very well. The chargers dog walked the Vikings a week ago and we can’t run the ball. Pathetic football for a home game.

I think the whole team thought the Vikings weren’t any good and that we were going to run over them like we did the Bucs. Definitely on the coaches!
