Sorry Goldlion, WedgeX, Doorman, and plinko :(

Yall are cool in my book...
Whoo, I have friends on NFL-GAF, haha.

It's clear going into the off-season where the Lions' weakness lies, and it's in the 7 people not on the offensive line.

Lions have to go hard after good LBs and good DBs, get rid of the Eric Wrights that aren't doing the job and come back next year with a defense that actually has more teeth against these elite teams.

Seriously. Just leave Eric Wright in the middle of Lake Pontchartrain.

Problem is, putting a bunch of rookies into the defensive backfield won't make a performance like this any better. I'm fine with Delmas and Speivey at safety, Houston's servicable for one of our corners, but I'd love one new stud cornerback and most importantly the front rush needs to actually do what they were hyped to do at the start of the year and get at quarterbacks. It hasn't happened nearly enough for the expectations that were placed on them.

MEGATROOOOOOOOOON. Maybe my hopes of keeping the game close might at least hang around after all.
 
Yes.

Given the following:

- The NFC East is still a hot mess and this year's scenario could happen again next year
- Bears and Vikings are in rebuilding mode
- Panthers are really the only other team that's on the rise in the NFC

They'll have a shot. They need to get their defense together, though.

Seahawks and Cardinals could be dangerous in a year (well, assuming the Seahawks get a QB and the Cardinals start Skelton).
 
what a fucking let down.....

Lions D should walk home
did they make the flight down at all?



smh at lions fans blaming the refs. Gimme a break, fumbles get ruled dead all the damn time. Holding getting not called happens all the damn time, I can sit and watch the Texans play and say the o line holds and doesnt always get called, same with the other teams holding our d linemen.
