Lions shove it down the packers throat. 7-0.
September 20th, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
The Lions make me want to throw up in my mouth every time they play. How can they be so consistent in their losing ways? 50 years of shit.
September 20th, 2020 at 1:15 PM ^
Jarrad Davis just splattered Aaron Jones. What a hit.
September 20th, 2020 at 1:35 PM ^
The Giants are bad... like worst team in the league bad. They've been this way through three coaches and two GM's and it's really not any of the five of their faults, it starts at the top. John Mara is a fucking embarrassment. Sell the team you bum!
September 20th, 2020 at 2:09 PM ^
And to make matters worse Saquon Barkley may have a serious knee injury. He was carted into the locker room.
September 20th, 2020 at 2:14 PM ^
Looks like another top 7 pick again. Hope Gettleman isn't around to make it.
September 20th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Titans beating down Jacksonville. Tannehill looks so much better than Mariota. Much of this is because Henry draws so much attention, but it’s remarkable to watch.
September 20th, 2020 at 2:21 PM ^
Lions just fucked up end of half time management for the 2nd straight week. Unbelievable.
And of course, costs them 7 and Green Bay will most likely be up 24-14 before the lions get another true possession. Ball game. Please fire this dumb ass.
September 20th, 2020 at 2:41 PM ^
Defense is sooooo bad. That is his expertise supposedly.
Quinn should go now. Let new GM clean house.
September 20th, 2020 at 2:57 PM ^
New England’s D was hardly impressive during his time if I recall. Sorta like a table when he was in Houston before going to the Titans as HC.
However, Vrabel had a ton more to work with. But Patricia looks bad.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:48 PM ^
Soft up the gut . Okudah getting burned all day. I thought they drafted for D. Oh yeah, had to take Swift. Just can't resist the shiny offensive toys.
September 20th, 2020 at 2:46 PM ^
Lol. I called it.
September 20th, 2020 at 2:55 PM ^
Lions are more terrible than normal this year if that is possible.
They need to nuke this franchise from orbit....just to be sure.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:18 PM ^
Its the only way to be sure
September 20th, 2020 at 2:55 PM ^
Lions are awful. Make Quinn and Patricia walk home
September 20th, 2020 at 2:57 PM ^
Watching my beloved Lions shit the bed. (again)
September 20th, 2020 at 2:57 PM ^
Watching red zone, Kirk cousins is a dumpster fire today.
September 20th, 2020 at 2:59 PM ^
I know this isn't news but Matt Patricia may be the worst head coach in football. Just bad at everything.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:01 PM ^
Agreed. Fire him already. The players hate him anyway.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:08 PM ^
don't be so negative, look for a positive. it looks like patricia is very good at eating.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:14 PM ^
You're right. After he's fired he could easily get a gig on the professional eating circuit. Stay positive!
September 20th, 2020 at 3:20 PM ^
he must eat pasta three times a day !!
September 20th, 2020 at 3:30 PM ^
Only if you are using the word 'pasta' as a code word for '3 large pizzas'.
September 20th, 2020 at 8:06 PM ^
...and wash it down with a tumbler full of gravy.
September 20th, 2020 at 5:30 PM ^
They dumped Jim Caldwell, who ranks as one of the best Lions coaches ever for this guy.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:07 PM ^
Pick 6 wow...have to turn the channel before I vomit. Lions game is only good for one thing...background noise when you're taking a Sunday nap.
Any ex-Patriot person on the Lions staff needs to be given a 1 way ticket home tomorrow.
Quinn & Patricia are frauds.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:21 PM ^
Patricia for sure. Quinn, probably so, but I think he’s done okay with his draft picks.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:09 PM ^
Was watching Lions. Not anymore.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:10 PM ^
was watching the first half when the lions went up 14-3. emailed another yooper buddy of mine (packer fan) and said i was looking forward to new and interesting ways the lions would lose this game. they definitely didn't disappoint. epic meltdown at the end of the 1st half that has bled right into the 2nd half. there must be some self-loathing involved in following the lions. might be time to take personal inventory....
September 20th, 2020 at 3:32 PM ^
Eh, this is not a new and interesting way to a lose a football game.
Dropping a pass on the goal line, getting tackled at the 1 (Tate) and having a clock snafu, losing to GB twice in one year and leading 120 minutes of gameplay, hail mary- those are interesting ways.
This is just an inferior team getting their shit kicked in.
September 20th, 2020 at 8:00 PM ^
I stopped actively caring about the Lions after watching SEC slappy Gary Danielson throw FIVE interceptions and supposedly reliable Eddie Murray miss what would have been the winning FG against the 49ers in the 1983 playoffs, his second miss in the 4th quarter.
That game capped off 25 years of futility for me dating back to my early childhood, and I didn't need any more losing. With just one exception—1991—subsequent seasons have justified my stepping back.
I don't know how Lions fans can keep subjecting themselves to yearly pain. It's masochism.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:12 PM ^
How in the fuck do you punt on a 4th and 1 down 17 with 22 minutes left???
September 20th, 2020 at 3:20 PM ^
Just like any other time. “Why,” might be a more difficult question to answer. Perhaps they have a secret 4th quarter playbook they’re waiting to open that will lead to a lot of points?
September 20th, 2020 at 3:23 PM ^
Lions might as well tank the season and go for the #1 draft pick.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:50 PM ^
Didn't Steve Clarke tell Sam Webb the Lions would make the playoffs?
September 20th, 2020 at 4:41 PM ^
They don't need to tank in order to achieve that.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:28 PM ^
We should petition the NFL to end the lions season after 8 games, kind of like the B10 season.
September 20th, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
Why 8?
I've seen enough after 2 games. I'd rather watch meaningless Tigers games at this point.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:30 PM ^
I love having RedZone. All highlights, all the time (or lowlights, if the Lions are your team).
September 20th, 2020 at 3:52 PM ^
Sack for Rashan Gary.
September 20th, 2020 at 3:52 PM ^
Finally that can be posted on this board.
September 20th, 2020 at 4:02 PM ^
Another half sack for Gary!
September 20th, 2020 at 4:03 PM ^
Rashan Gary just injured Matt Stafford
September 20th, 2020 at 4:05 PM ^
I remember watching the lions have two back to back 9 and 7 seasons(16, 17), got a chance to celebrate quite a few wins, since 2018 they have gone now 9 and 24...
September 20th, 2020 at 4:33 PM ^
Going to be an 0-4 start, no playoffs and another top 5 pick in the draft. Hopefully that's enough for the inept Ford's to fire Patricia by week 8 and then Quinn at the end of the year. His defensive scheme is outdated and his teams have shown no discipline whatsoever.
September 20th, 2020 at 5:17 PM ^
Need another RB with that top 5 pick
September 20th, 2020 at 5:19 PM ^
What is Patricia's defensive scheme anyway? Whatever it is, it sucks.
September 20th, 2020 at 4:36 PM ^
I’d just like to angrily remind everyone that Patricia has a TOTAL of 9 wins under his belt.
Caldwell, the most successful coach the Lions had in 4 decades, AVERAGED 9 wins per year.
How in the holy hell did the Detroit Lions - the DETROIT F***ING LIONS - look at 9 wins per year and say “We deserve better”????????
September 20th, 2020 at 4:38 PM ^
Unbelievable botch my the Falcons letting the onside cross the 10 yrd mark. Stood there and watched rather than block a Cowboy.
