Game 1: Lions @ Cardinals Thread

Something about putting on a lions uniform just seems to make em stupid

It’s unbelievable how this sorta thing continues for decades like this it’s just never going to change. Only the lions can find such creative ways to lose
 
Doesn't Matty Pat pride himself about having his players prepped for game situations? Not today.

He also messed up on using that TO. Would have been better if we just lost. Better draft position.

Patricia is in over his head. He is like every other coach from the hoodie coaching tree. They need to blow up the whole thing and start from scratch.

RECAP: Lions at Cardinals.
Lions.com

Kennard was a one-man wrecking crew Sunday, recording three sacks on Murray in the first half for a loss of 19 yards.
He became the first linebacker in franchise history to notch 3.0 sacks in the first half of a game. The Lions finished with five sacks in the contest.

The tie marked the Lions' first in nearly 25 years, when they finished deadlocked with the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 4, 1984.

Does 0-5-1 get Patricia fired? When do we move on from Stafford? When do the owners clean house?
 
Stafford knew the only way we're ever going to be good is if we lose more than Miami. He tried to throw the game away at the end... the moron ari cb just flat out dropped it. Nice try staff...i saw what you were doing.
 
Does this one make the all time top 10 lionesque games?

Lions call time out on win after too easily getting a crucial first down to seal victory and then proceed to lose 9-8-2019

It really wasn?t the long ago when I?d been out here bitching up a storm and going off the rails for the rest of the night after a game like this, they broke me last year and I just don?t bother to get upset anymore they aren?t worth it. I?ve accepted that it just will never be and in the grand scheme of things it really isn?t that important I at least got to see the tigers win a World Series in 1984 and that will just have to be good enough for this lifetime.

I have just had it. They should have crushed the Cardinals by 20+ , and yet Patricia somehow gives this game away. This Tie feels like a loss.

We were pretty much dominating the game defensively.....and for no apparent reason changed what WE were doing. Let me say that again.....we changed what WE were doing when it was effectively working.

That?s bad coaching.

We had Murray confused. Even hurrying his open throws.....and then we went soft. 15 yard cushions.....4 man pass rushes that didn?t get much pressure. Didn?t we sign a big time DE this offseason??? I couldn?t tell.

Coaches are 0-1 this season. We had more talent and were starting to take over....put played Jim Caldwell football and lost it.

Fucking stupid.
 
By the way.....30-3 midway through the 4th and NE has thrown 3 straight passes.

THAT is aggressive play calling.
 
You guys never learn. I had a great day yesterday. Made some money on my lock of the day (Ravens -7.5), went golfing, then caught the end of the Lions game at a local sports bar. I was laughing my ass off watching that pathetic team. The Cardinals are the worst team on their schedule and they can't even beat them!

Good thing, TE did well. Bad thing D failed late vs a rook QB.

Yup

Positives
Hockenson
Prater (as always)
Kennard
The defense through the first 3 quarters
Passing game in general, Stafford made some good throws and the receivers also made plays. I know Amendola made a dumb decision late, but he?s looking like a solid dump down option for Stafford

Negatives
Decker
Agnew
The coaching staff?s game awareness
4th quarter and OT defense
D-line, ~5ypc (with no big runs too) and they didn?t generate much pressure as a unit. Flowers seemed invisible

And as Lions-focused as we tend to be, I gotta give credit to Fitz, still getting it done at 36 and made some fantastic catches
