Trouble on the horizon! Injuries to our o-line coupled with glascow ineptness and decker looking like its over for him there doesn’t appear to be help coming! Coaching can only do so much with moving practice squad players up and preparing street people! But worse than this our team looked poorly prepared for the bigger picture today. There is much to be done.
Saint's 3rd down drop leading to a punt looked the same as the 4th down drop in KC. Both were knee-high and went between both hands with neither touching the ball. He grabs those when he goes to the ground.
Morton needs to go. If it were one game, I’d ignore it. It’s now multiple games of poor play calling. How LAC put 200 yds rushing up and the Lions couldn’t break 100 is inexcusable.
It’s possible I’m looking at history through rose-colored glasses, but it’s seemed to me that the Lions have historically come out hot, with some new wrinkles, after the bye in the Campbell/Holmes era. In any case, there were a lot more problems than I expected, foremost among them the protection. We had to know they were going to blitz a lot, but we didn’t seem to have an answer for it.
Rushing stats: 20 attempts for 65 yds, 3.3 per carry. When we don't rush for over 100 yards we lose. They need to fix the O-line but not sure how they can do that mid season. Maybe a trade?
The difference in the quality of play between the Vikings and Lions, made it clear to me the Lions were simply out coached in every phase of the game! The Vikings came in ready to play and the Lions simply put in an appearance--this was a coaching failure!!!
My thought is, this loss will serve them well in the long-run--be a reminder that each player and coach must be prepared to play every game like it is sudden death!
They ran a crap ton of a gap blitz’s it seems with no adjustment Gibbs is good but he had his lunch taken. The offense as a whole is still seems searching for some sort of identity

There will be trades.....
Ass kicked. Dominated on LOS.
Fourth time we’ve been beat physically in Holmes/ Campbell era:
Baltimore, Carolina in previous years
GB and Vikings this year.
U-G-L-Y in all facets
Today was depressing. That is all.
This was a sad performance in every aspect , Offensive, Defensive , Specials, and Coaching! Hope they got it out of their way!!!

Disjointed was too kind. For the first time in a long time they looked completely unprepared.
Not a long time all season they have had parts of games where it’s looked unprepared
Welcome back Kevin Zeitler
Losing both guards today was bad

Why was Maulet in the game so much? Seemed like Vikings targeted him on critical plays. Thought Maddox was active.
