That’s it, it’s over, it’s done. That’s how halftime then most of the third quarter and beginning of the fourth want last Sunday. After the rest of the fourth quarter happened four days ago doesn’t really seem to matter. Because then the crying turned to well obviously it’s going to be a loss on Thursday night on a short week against a better team. I guess those folks could be right but they’re probably the same ones that were crying in the game thread. :lol:
There’s nothing to be mad or sad about. Really we should all be grateful they’re not 0- three. It’s been a fun ride so far without expectations and I don’t think it ends tonight if we see some extra stuff from Love. He used his legs at the right times last Sunday without exposing himself to devastating hits. Played smart so maybe it can and does get better from here.
Lions 22 - Packers 24

Lions have had our number in last 10 years.
This years Pack is good - but inconsistent. Ie, young
So I have no idea on the game - too close to call.
Hope we get healthy, lucky and play 4qs
Serious question. Is Marshall lunch full on retarded or just half?
Rastak

That was awfully white of us.
Fritz
09-28-2023, 07:30 PM
Not only did Rasul slipped, he slipped because he guessed wrong. he thought it was going to be a short pass, and he bit, so St. Brown blew by him.
That good start didn't last long.
Terrible series by douglas

Love has to get rid of the ball or run. He has plenty of time.

Fuck. Myers and Newman both sucked.
Teamcheez1
09-28-2023, 07:35 PM
He had nearly 6 seconds on the 3rd down. The OL is doing their job.
Myers’s just fell down, worthless
Already forgetting to use Aaron jones
SkinBasket
09-28-2023, 07:36 PM
Ah, LaFleer has his gay pride hat on. That should make this loss look more tolerant.
What was Myers doing?
Falling on his fat ass after his guy blew past him
Fritz
09-28-2023, 07:37 PM
Shades of the SF playoff game years ago, when the Packers started with an interception and a score, then got run over. And over. And over.
Defense needs to step up here.
Fosco33
09-28-2023, 07:37 PM
I have a thought - run the fucking ball. 2 sacks, 4 pass attempts…. Wtf

Douglas has had a good start to the year and one good play… followed by 3 bad angles and poor effort.

We won’t be coming back in this game.
The MLF/Barry team is unprepared for a second straight game.

Excluding the 3 points on the turnover, we haven’t sustained a scoring drive in 4 of the last 5 quarters.

At least Love is improving those accuracy numbers.
And now we’re running Dillon not jones

What a shitty, suck-ass performance. Unprepared. Sloppy. Both sides/
Again, the offense is young. Okay. But where's Jones? Is he even playing?
But the defense - Jesus, please put Joe Barely out of his misery after the season. God they look awful.

I don't think we expected they'd be this good. We look shocked.

Isn't it the coaching staff that tells the guy if he should run it out or not?

Fritz
09-28-2023, 08:24 PM
I hate this Green Bay defense.
Sure, the offense is sucking ass. But they are young and the whole left side of the offensive line is missing. But the defense just looks lost, and by this point in Joe Barely's tenure, their "identity" is that of a mostly soft defense.
Fritz
09-28-2023, 08:25 PM
Even when the Packers hit a Detroit running back at the line, they still end up gaining about six yards. Lame.

smuggler
09-28-2023, 09:58 PM
Love in the first four games has been most frustrating for me because he was missing open receivers deep but also short/intermediate.
You can survive without connecting on the deep hitters if you move the chains. He's struggled at both, in one way or another.

This was a painful game. It showed a whole new layer of potential Jordan Love problems. So far he hasn’t been holding the ball, but the first half he stood there like Rodgers, only worse because he never tried to leave the pocket when it collapsed

There is some truth here, but Love could have gotten the ball out more quickly too. I’ve seen Brady, Brees and Manning slow down a pass rush with quick passes quite a few times over the last 20 years. Favre too. Most of the greats can frustrate a good pass rush.

And good coaching would do that...

That's also about play calling. I think it a combination of MLF's strategy and Love contributed, but the primary fault was the line.

Pack was outclassed and dominated. The OL were a bunch of stumblebums.

I’m not worried about Love yet. Way too many Packers fans expect him to look like a HOF QB that has been in the league for 10 years. That isn’t realistic. Compare Love tonight to Ridder last week. He’s got plenty of future in this league, but he still has a ways to go to master the offense and develop chemistry with receivers. The Lions have one of the best defenses in football. They’ve been drafting high for years, and have done reasonably well at it. It shows.
The Packers largest issue remains the coaching staff. Barely is a zero. So is Bitch-sack. How many times does a guy have to return a kick from five yards deep in the end zone before you kick him square in the junk? And WTF with Quay’s penalty? Special teams truly looks special in the short yellow bus kind of way. MLF has also mailed in some duds with poor gameplans and the continued failure to utilize Aaron Jones properly. The coaching staff is a more pressing concern to me.
The OL is a tire fire that can only be fixed through several good drafts.

Mama told me there’d be days like this.
This team has a lot of limitations that were to be expected with such a young group.
I’m looking for growth and improvement as the season rolls on. We obviously need the OL to gel if possible, a more cohesive defense (Barry?), and Love to grow with his receivers.
I am disappointed with the coaching staff.

Both sides of the ball were manhandled, absolutely manhandled.
Offense was awful, but they are young there. The defense, though, just plays weak and misses assignments, despite all those first round picks and this being year three of Joe Barely. It's very unlikely they'd fire Joe mid-season, but my god, this is embarrassing.
Ten days to smell the stink of that turd.
MLF needs to be criticized, too. This team was not ready to play, period. And again, wtf with not using Aaron Jones until well into the game? If he's not really ready physically, then why bother having him suit up?
MLF not looking good here. At all. Put him on the toilet-seat-is-getting warm, not because the offense is making mistakes, but because his defensive coaching hire was terrible, his gameplans don't utilize his best offensive player, and his team's not ready to play.

The 1st time I agree with one of your posts. I was starting to feel okay with this team's development and then this turd comes along. I cannot remember the last time I had to turn off a game at halftime. I say fire him today, how much worse can the d play and I am being dead serious, is Jim Leonhard still available?

Johnson, the Lions OC has future HC written all over him.
Agree. I'm surprised he didn't get more interest last offseason. I'm fairly certain he'll be a hot name this year to coach somewhere like CHI, HOU, or TEN.

IIRC he took a job as a consultant or something for the U of Illinois football team?
Either way, it's EXTREMELY unlikely they would can their DC after 4 games and bring someone new in to try and teach a new scheme. That would be a big disruption and probably not improve things soon enough to make any difference. Also, it's Barry's last year on his contract. They know it's a youngish team (not as much on defense) and they're just going to ride it out with Barry for the year.
It's interesting, special teams coaches used to be the ones everyone hated... nowadays it's the DCs. The rules have been altered to favor the offenses so I think they are at a bit of a disadvantage. If get a genius as your DC, you're probably losing them to be hired away as a HC, and you're left hating who you get next.

Agree. Even if nothing is there, at some point you have to fire it out of bounds. He held it way too long early and that just serves to get you hit and wear down your OL.

That’s what I was seeing. Standing there patting the ball. Of course a good rush will get home. The great ones get the ball out quickly, and in a way that gives their guy a chance while not being a big interception risk at the same time.

Who’s worse, skinbasket; Jordan Love or Atari Bigby?
Tough call, both getting the homer treatment and all. I would say Bigby talent wise, but at least he was decisive in his ineptitude. Love is like seaweed swishing around in the waves, but with less elusiveness, which is hard given those roots and all, and less personality, and less leadership. Also, Bigby didn’t have the benefit of being groomed behind a HOFer.
Only one thing is certain: neither could hit an open receiver.

Aaron Rodgers is a pedophile? Oh wait, Love was a legal adult.

MLF made comments about the growth process and knowing to get it out sooner against those kinds of defenses. Which is kind of strange to me, honestly, like he couldn’t have had that conversation before the game that maybe getting it out would be a good idea against these guys?? I don’t know, maybe love will “grow”, but it’s not a good sign that it wasn’t a priority point during the week and he had to get slapped around for a half to figure it out.
JT O’Sullivan has a really cool qb school thing he does on YouTube and patreon. He did 30 minutes on Love and said he should have been getting the ball out. So it wasn’t like we were imagining things there.
