I read on Twitter that everyone hurt came back in. I think that report was obviously wrong for Cook.

But Martinez and Randall did come back after leaving the field.

Hyde, Randall, and the rest of the secondary had awful games

Randall should have stayed in the Locker room

IMO the reason Detroit stayed in the game was because the Lions took advantage of our extremely thin D line, no CM3 and 2 starting DBs out.

Frontrunning is back and it feels so good.

It also helped them that stubby took his foot of the gas, yet again.

Is this a thing that happens to all NFL teams? Is it human nature to relax, or is it the prevent defense and the conservative playcalling?

I get, to some extent, backing off on defense so you don't get burned for a quick touchdown. But wait, didn't that happen anyway? It wasn't until the end of the game, when Dom went back to a more aggressive defense and MM let Rodgers throw that slant to Adams, that they salted it away.

That second half kinda took some of the joy out of that game.

This is just wrong.

Detroit was eating up possession in the second half with long sustained drives (due to Packers thin D).

We had one drive stall for a FG due to a holding penalty.

One drive end due to a drop by Cobb

Another drive basically end due to a Trevor Davis drop

In the above drives McCarthy called excellent plays, I believe. You want to run the clock out and put the team in manageable 3rd down distances. That was achieved but the players did not execute as well as they should have.

On the final drive Lacy made some great runs to end the game.

Now please explain to us how the foot was taken off the gas? Should we throw every single play and eat up only 20 seconds off the clock on a drive? Then we will be reading posts from you about how the play calling sucks and McCarthy didn't feed Lacy who had a great day?

[Fritz]

Dang, Arclite. All that factual recounting. You're messing me up, man.

[arcilite]

Sorry.

Would hate to get in the way of a good 'Fire McCarthy' narrative

[Guiness]

The turnover is in the wrong column, the only one of the game was Randall's INT/Strip.
