Detroit at Green Bay (1 Viewer)

Everything near the line blows for the Lions...Id go 15 yards downfield every time til the Packers can stop them.

 
safety had to know that ball was already past...could have gotten a flag

 
As solid as his calls have generally been, I have a problem taking a guy whose name is Jim Bob Cooter seriously.

Yes, another bias I’m trying to adjust. But come on, that’s a guy who would be working in his cousin’s garage fitting the General Lee with new rocker bars, not an NFL OC.

 
Our running game and short passes to Riddick have just been a joke so far. So sick of watching our ineffectual running. You know it's bad when an 11 yard AA run  is a surprise to you

Nothing solid about his calls....his use and mix on the RBs has been crazy

It seems like it's more on that O-line then the RBs though, doesn't it? Seems like every other running play the RB is trying to dodge a defender before they even take a step with the ball. There's something wrong with the Detroit run-blocking

 
This is the culmination of 10 years of McCarthy and Thompson.  They are good at one thing...employing Aaron Rodgers.  What a disgrace.

You don’t win a SB and be contenders because of just one player.

That said...they look awful without him and Mccarthy is calling a chicken crap game

Maybe it’s my extreme bias given players I own, but looked as if TyMo was wide open and may have been able to pick up the first instead of Hundey trying to do it himself unsuccessfuly.

TyMo seems to hold zero value with Hundley under center as he simply doesn’t look Ty’s way.

I missed most of the first quarter but it looks like Cobb is getting more reps at RB than Montgomery??

Totally. Didn't mean to suggest it was on the RBs in particular. Amazing how the Vikings O line can just about be the worst in the league last year, then improve so much, taking in our cast off in Rieff as part of it. I know Decker has been out, but the Lions have spent money on the right side of that line, and have a center who has played at a decent level before. The line shouldn't  be this bad.

You’d think so. But to be honest it is because of one player.  They are absolutely garbage without Rodgers.  They should be ashamed of themselves.

honest question, could this team beat the 49ers?

No...it’s really not because of one player only.

Interesting. Thought I kept hearing his name coming up in conversations about potential fillers for HCs on the hot seat.

JBC breathed some new life into the Lions offense when he took over, which prior to that seemed rudderless. So it was an inspiring change at the time as I recall and the Lions offense revitalized.

However now it seems the thrill is gone.

And Abdullah is a bad match for a bad line. He's quick and has vision, can make a man miss in space, but he needs some space to work...he isn't going to power his way through a tiny crease to fall forward for 3 yards. Love watching him when there is any kind of hole to start with

Totally. Despite being stung by drafting too much O early in drafts under Mayhew and Millen, part of me is beginning to hope we just spunk a high pick on a beastly powerful RB if one that's good enough is available, and just start from there. 

 
14-0 this game is over. With the fabulous GB play calling of throwing passes behind the line of scrimmage all night, lions have no worries.

 
You know when you play Tecmo Bowl and you call the right play that counters the opponents' defense?

That's what that looked like.

 
2 runs in a row inside redzone and AA scores from 4 yards out. I guess closed mouths really don't get fed.

This is going to be the first year a guy that only played 6 games wins the MVP. Rodgers literally carries this team on his back and now more than ever it’s so obvious.
