Campbell, I think, can play D line.

Williams was OK under center but the broadcasts do so little replay hard to say.

Several throws for TDs should have been for shorter completions and first downs. The last one to Jacobs as an example even if he should have caught it.

The Defense held up it end of the bargain.

The intentional grounding was ludicrous in light of what they let Goff get away with on a previous play.

Packers offense still in neutral without big plays and the Lions played a lot of 2 deep to prevent it.

Hoping to see Banks and Zeitler at Guard soon.

In retrospect, having Zeitler on the inactive list and Williams available might have saved Love's health. Not sure there are others who have snapped on offense this year except Burton.

MLF said Rhyan and Monk are expected to be out Thursday. So it will be Williams or Burton at Center.

After the game, Josh Jacobs said he apologized to his team for dropping Jordan Love’s TD pass on third-and-5 with 3:30 left. Big turn in the loss. “That’s a play I’ve got to make. So I said, ‘If you want to blame anybody, put it on me.’”

So I honestly think the officials are punishing MiLF for complaining now (cuz he's been right). He was pretty animated about Goff grounding that play so the officials turned around and said "fine, you think it's grounding we'll call it". Except we had a receiver in the zip code of the throw.

Plenty of blame to go around: OBVIOUSLY incompetent if not downright crooked officiating on at least half a dozen plays; Also horribly flawed kicking - zero excuse for that on carpet and no wind; inexplicable drops - I don't think Love throws a ball that is somehow hard to catch. Chronic poor O Line blocking, both on runs and passes;

My candidate for the most blame, though, is LaFleur. I hate his playcalling the great majority of the time. In addition, there is the decision to go for it on 4th down instead of settling for a FG. I also hate it that he failed to call out the God damned officials in his postgame interview - "it is what it is" sheeeesh, just tell it like it is instead of being afraid to get fined.
