So... Matt Stafford is a bad bad man. That throw, though. The offensive line has taken some major strides in the last few games as well. He's gotten some of the best protection in the league down the stretch, by the numbers, at least.

No way is that a catch. Now they have gone too far in the other direction from the Calvin Johnson rule. Lions always get screwed either way.

well for 50+ years they either are horrible, or, like this year, they just ever so gently tickle the underbelly of 'good' (beat NE and GB).   then they show they are the lions like they did today.    

is there a 12 step program we can join?

Mother of God, how many of those contested catches are they gonna pull in? If they're catching everything anyways we might as well send some extra pressure.

I’m sorry but holy fuck what did bob quin expect? He’s put no money or effort into the defense and hired a guy that didn’t force a punt in the Super Bowl. They can’t stop a nosebleed. Robinson does nothing, tabor couldn’t break up a pass if it was thrown into his chest, Davis could not take worse angles, miss more tackles, or put himself in worse positions on running plays. Literally not a single DB can break up a pass even when it’s thrown right at them. Paul pasqualoni or whatever his name is drops 7 in coverage yet guys are wide open and continues to get no pressure, when they do, they don’t contain Wilson at all and he saunters around like it’s nothing. No one on the defense can wrap up at all. YAC has to be at least 4.0 for the Seahawks. I’m done with this bob quin philosophy of not getting any defenders that are above average and hope it works out. 

He drafts fucking Tracy walker who never plays instead of mo hurst who would you know actually help the defense. God forbid we get a player that can do that.

I was flipping through the channels and came upon the Argonauts and Alouettes game.  Manziel had just thrown an incompletion and started spewing crap out of his mouth to his left tackle, acting like a 3rd grader.  By the time they both made it to the sideline, the tackle wanted to rip his head off and teammates had to hold him back.

Some things never change.  Way to go Johnny.  Good luck ever getting past the CFL.

Tabor is so bad. Not an NFL caliber cornerback. Not starter or reserve. This team is a joke. Not sure the defense has one strength or something to hang their hat on. Offense is so inconsistent.

Lions have to run their 2-minute offense to start the fourth quarter. Classic.

Also classic is making a horrible offense look like some world beaters.

These Joe Lombardi commercials can fuck off. Fuck Lombardi, he ended Megatrons career, and has no business coaching in the NFL. Firing him instantly made our team better. Drew Brees is his own damn qb coach, anyways.

That was amazing. Although still stupid. If he got stopped just short of the 4th the lions get the ball 1st and goal.
