Official GameDay Thread Week 3: Packers @ Lions

[Fritz]

I am going to give Harlan 3/4 of a point, and Fritz and I can split 1/4. The O line wasn't a tire fire on the last drive. But it wasn't doing much in the running game and bled throughout the game in pass rush.

But the white knuckle pass pro meant only the short passing game was available and it wasn't working well.

There was no reason to keep sending Lacy in there when Starks was making it work.

Why is it that every year Fat Mike needs to do a midseason re-tooling? I know constant evaluation is needed, but he seems to need half a season to figure it out. He even said in his pregame that it was an early season game, teams still feeling each other out. I don't hear other coaches with that attitude.

I don't get this. I've defended TT and MM pretty often, and I said injuries had a lot to do with the teams' less-than-stellar performances, but this was a pretty healthy team getting manhandled by an infury-riddled team. What the hell?

This.

Fat Mikes slow starts are getting old. A win is a win is a win, no matter if it's early or late in the season. Time to get it going, Mike. Two more division games coming up plus NE and NO. It's not going to get any easier.

Not to mention Carolina. That defense is fierce.
