I can accept losing, but why does every Michigan sports team have to collapse?  Just lose the game.  Don't blow a 12-point lead in the national title game, or a 9 point lead vs. MSU, or a 10 point lead at Iowa, or a 10 point lead at OSU, or get outscored 24-3 after being up 7.  Just lose.

Quinn has a monumental task ahead of him. Not a lot of building blocks at all to work with in this franchise.

Decker/Glasgow seem decent enough on the OL. No RB's to speak of and WR's LOL.

Defensively is even worse...your best players are getting older and no one in that secondary is worth a damn. I'd say Quinn but he is on the downside.

he might as well trade Stafford for picks and cap space this summer. He's not going to get any better, and his best in his prime is obviously not good enough to beat Rodgers. Hire a defensive coach and start focusing on that side of the ball. Give Rudock the keys to the offense next year. After a few drafts, when Rodgers is in decline, it'll be our division to rule.

I'm not sure much more could've been done with this bunch and the injuries on the team.

They're just an average team who got hot and won a couple of extra games to sneak into the playoffs.

Really that simple in my eyes.

I don't know enough about their cap room and contract situation, but they need FAs and need to draft a lot better than they have recently.

I don't get the fire the coach people. This team overachieved this year. Yes they just lost three in a row, but look at those games... at a playoff team. At the best team in the NFC and against the most dominant team in the NFC for the past two decades. Did you expect them to win those games with Zac Zenner and the rest if that roster? That team has no talent compared to other playoff teams. Zero.

They probably peaked 2 years ago but lost Suh and megatron. The organization does not want  to pay the $ to replace these players. At one time 2 years ago they had the best DL in the league but were too cheap to keep people and other teams got our good player. This organization is a disgrace. I wish the Ford's will take their team to St. Louis and let us start out with an expansion team and good owner who will want to win!

I was at the game, it was my first Lions-Packers game. Have to agree with a lot of posters here. Packers fans are absolutely insufferable. I spent the entire game trying to see around a Wisconsin-sized farm girl with her back to the field taunting all the home fans.

I think fans of every team are insufferable. Some Michigan fans are insufferable, some Packers fans are insufferable, some Lions fans are insufferable. Every fan base of every team has assholes in their ranks to label all of said fan base insufferable is kind of unfair. Yes I am a Packers Fan.

Wisconsin fans are particularly annoying. They include Packers, Badgers and Brewers. Loud, obnoxious, drunk and cocky is a bad mix. I went to a Michigan Homecoming game in the 90's where we lost to the Badgers and a bunch of them starting talking shit to me at the hotel pool. I think I was 15 at the time?

Congratulations to the Lions for making the playoffs!  I'll be pulling for you.  My Skins blew a few chances to make it over the season, including blowing a lead against the Lions.  Skins O was playing pretty well, but the defense still needs serious work.
