Mates,

Let's get this party started.  Lions at home, 3 point favorites, against the LA Rams with our old pal Matt Stafford at QB.

Forward down the Field, Down the Field we go, to a Lions victory!!

eh, that's a picture perfect throw that literally went through the hands of our DB.  tough to have better coverage than that.  tip your hat. 

the frustration was not stopping them on the 4th down play.  coach yelling at CJ, wonder what that was about.

Offense is going to have to score a lot, because the defense looks like trash.  People praise Glenn when the denlfense does well 1 out of 4 games, but remain silent on criticism him and his defense the other 3 games.  An injured hand Stafford is torching this defense.

With the Rams getting the ball to start the 2nd half, and a touchdown being almost guaranteed, the Lions need a touchdown before half.

You could just feel that the Lions were slipping this away. Goff cannot be perfect and he needs to be with this D. That play is the first of the big cracks to form.

How much does a CB1 cost?

We have a lot of cap to buy 1. 

Sad we didnt trade for one of those Commanders DEs 

Can't imagine if any DE helped poor Hutch.  We have 4 guys at $4M doing zilch.

Theres a very real chance that the next time Detroits offense has the ball they could be down two scores lol ... this defense man. 

Stafford is playing out of his mind too, which...naturally, but holy smokes. Not sure why DET cant force NFC west teams to punt haha. Its like every game vs Seattle

(Also lol to the lions getting jobbed by the refs again)

the absolute total ref job.  critical 4th down.  of course against the lions. we'd have the ball, first down, and they can't stop us.  so typical.  what a hose job.

There is no such thing as "coincidences". The Lions getting the shaft over and over and over from the refs/nfl is not a "coincidence"

We are not playing Americas "team" 

We are not playing on the road

Is there any situation the refs cannot bend over this franchise???? ANY?

The Rams had a delay of game on their 4th down conversion that went uncalled. Their drive continued and they scored a touchdown.

The Rams jump offsides when the Lions have 4th and 5, and the refs penalize the Lions. That robbed them of 3-7 points.

10-14 point swing by the refs’ ratfucking.
