What was that halftime interview from LaFleur where he was basically crying? It seems that guys like Dan Campbell have been dunking on him his whole life.

Most of the people that live Up North and thus can get there easily are Packers fans though. I think some people just made the trip because it's an iconic stadium and this was a year they were confident in a win at Lambeau.

We were inundated with packers media via proximity. It’s part of the local broadcast network, so there aren’t even any local news stations that claim Lions broadcasts anymore. Still, there are certainly enough Yooper Lions fans to fill out the ranks of Lambeau. As an offhand guess I’d say it was 30% Yoopers, 30% trolls, 40% expats.

Dan Campbell had all the markings of a fun one year head coach that was in way over his head, like a Tomsula or a Cullen.

Instead he’s become basically exactly what the Lions have needed for decades and has set them on a path to be the NFC North front runners for the next five years or so. It ruled to see the Bills become great, and it rules to see the Lions become great.

On the seconday market I'm rarely finding tickets at or below face value unless the team is bad or I gamble and wait to buy until a couple hours before kickoff.

That's too Vikings.

If you love JJ you legitimately build around him, and I think that starts with convincing him he needs an O-Line for THE FUTURE QB.

You don't want this Mahomes / Burrow scrambling out of / maneuvring in the pocket strategy.

Just get a good Offensive Line.

Apparently the o line has been playing decently so far this year. We have stud tackles. Kirk is competent, usually, throwing the ball. Plenty of people to catch it. There is effectively no run game currently.

All the Saints had to do was run the ball in the second half and the Packers wouldn’t have had time for a comeback. Also, lucky missed field goal.

Maybe Risner can help there?

I'm actually uncertain as to what makes a good run O-Line. I would assume it has everything to do with your blocking capability on the inside (Guards) , rather than the outside (Tackles).

He's angry and irritated because he knows exactly why and can't say it because of bullshit pride/ego issues.

  • We have a first-year quarterback
  • The offensive line is insanely injured
  • The receivers are as raw as it can possibly get
  • The defense is led by Joe Barry

I don’t think you can say a single thing about the defense when the offense is so ineffective. Especially since a stalled offense means the defense is out there for longer and longer periods of time getting worn down.

Aaron Jones is apparently not 100%, he was basically used as a decoy in the 1st quarter. AJ Dillon is a problem and that either needs to be fixed or he needs to be benched or put into a fullback/blocking role (he doesn’t want to be a fullback). There needs to be a better plan in place for when the offensive line is just broken, you can’t just keep letting your QB get put into awful situations.

Other that that, I have no idea what you do with Quay Walker, he’s always going to be this guy.

The OL getting their rear end kicked isn't a surprise with how deep in the depth chart it is. Neither is losing missing as many key players on both sides of the ball.

Most concerning thing on offense is if Jones was on a pitch count they completely telegraphed play calling in the first half, leading to sacks. He ran the ball...three times that I can recall playing maybe 25% of snaps? The ball moved pretty well all things considered in the second half. Losing Musgrave probably threw things for a loop given how good he's been.

Barry's decisionmaking continues to be baffling. Passing defense was fine missing CB1 and contextually CB2/CB3. Doubt he'll be fired mid-season but imagine Barry is packing his bags after the past three weeks.

Special teams is the biggest issue for me coming out of the past two weeks. Punt returned for a TD and stupid penalties?
