Goff has been so good this year, but morphed right back into 2021 Goff today. Dead balls, panicky, and worst of all...that's 2 spin moves in the pocket.

Not that i honestly think it would have made a huge diffrence today, but Lamar has eaten up the off coverage today and Monken has called perfect gameplan to exploit it.
I kinda saw this but this ain't the same Lions team we been watching. Wtf is going on??? I'm so lost and wtf is Goff doing??
Just got caught and it snowballed. Happens. Not an excuse, a lot of bad in there, but it happens some times. Goff is also not the kind of QB I want trying to erase a multiple score deficit. He's been great, but just don't think he's built that way.
Gotta regroup and come back and stomp Raiders on Monday night and get into the bye.

For every 500 times an offensive player lowers his helmet and creates contact they will throw the flag. Mean while Kerby in protocol and how many defensive players suffer because refs constantly look to call fouls on D.
My gut is leaning towards a tough loss. But I also don’t think it will really be indicative of anything. Just hard to win road games against good teams in the NFL.
Lions already have a couple of those. A win, with the remaining schedule, would be a huge boost towards playoff seeding.
Yeah, unless they get blown out I don't think a loss will lower my overall expectations for this team, but a win would not only be huge for seeding, but also for confidence level in the playoffs. I expect this game to have a playoff feel.

Ummmmm....
Yeah, this couldn't have gone any worse. I guess we'll find out what this team is all about now. Hopefully a wake up call and learning experience.

I'm worried this team's biggest weakness may have been exposed.
The actual combined talent just isn't that good. I'm afraid they've been getting by with clever scheming, play design, and passion for the game. Which can only take you so far until you hit a wall.

My biggest concern here is they showed zero fight/pride.
The Seattle loss we had 3 turnovers, including a pick six, but we fought back and at least forced OT.
Today, down 28 at the half, with Baltimore's 2nd string playing much of the 2nd half, we still lost the 2nd half 10-6. This type of performance does not happen to good football teams. Good football teams at least show a little fight, even if it happens in garbage time. Just when I started to believe. I haven't felt like this since the mid 90's when we went riding high into the playoffs only to have the real Scott Mitchell show up & philly crushed us, scoring 40+ first half points on us.

It happened last year. They got whooped by Panthers. They came back and whooped the Bears and beat Rodgers in GB.
Niners just lost to a PJ Walker lead Browns team and Eagles lost to Zach Wilson lead Jets team. Was a shitty loss and on to have some concerns, but it happens. Teams lay eggs and have bad days.
