Did anyone else miss like 40 seconds?

Nope. Although im sure you could miss more than that….

 

[chuckiepoo]

That was a terrible penalty.

 

[TrueOrange]

Wow, if that penalty doesn’t wipe out that play then just wow

 

[VolsSportsFan]

WTF was that

 

[Chippo]

Hate to say it but Lions just don't have it
Tonight,, too many mistakes.

 

[YankeeVol]

You want a piece of Detroit? Come and ****ing get it

Bless your heart

 

[TrueOrange]

And there’s a good chance that’s the season.

 

[zjcvols]

Just didn’t have the bodies and got too cute on offense

 

[Chippo]

And there’s a good chance that’s the season.

Unfortunately

 

[General Jack]

4 turnovers and only one stop… that’s a killer

 

[TrueOrange]

And their defense is completely shreds at this point. You can’t play “offense has to score almost every drive” every game in this league, especially in the postseason.

Granted, they’re not trying to build a team and game plan around that, but you still just can’t at this level.

 

[Chippo]

Goff didn't have it tonight kinda SamDarnold
Unfortunately

 

[zjcvols]

Time to use the cap space and draft pick and make some real moves. Im all about sustainable but this offseason is going to be the most important the Lions have ever had

 

[firestorm]

Pretty disappointing outcome for the Lions.

Credit to the fearless Commanders playing excellent in Detroit with a rookie QB, and the Commanders defense was dominant and reliable.

 

[loservol]

Goff didn't have it tonight kinda SamDarnold
Unfortunately

And you can't win in the postseason with that.

 

[zjcvols]

I praised him this year

I’m not gonna miss Aaron Glenn

 

[Chippo]

I praised him this year

I’m not gonna miss Aaron Glenn

Can't totally blame him. Too many top
Defensive guys injured. 2nd and 3rd
String just not able to handle the load.

 

[Chippo]

Had A bad feeling about these last 2 games.

 

[TrueOrange]

 

[zjcvols]

It says Washington converted only 7 third and 4th downs (idk if that included the 12 men one) but it felt like they converted 15

Doesn’t feel like that could be right. Seems like they probably had 3-4 on that 15 play drive alone. But that said they had no trouble marching up and down the field.

 

[zjcvols]

The two plays that will keep me up tonight was the strip sack in the 1st quarter and Jamo not fighting for the ball on the post at the end of half. If Detroit runs the ball, gets the 1st…they score a TD and it’s 14-3 and all the game script entirely flips. Ben really got away from what the Lions do well tonight

Probably so. Odds are they lose both coordinators. I don't think as a team they have many glaring needs.

Kittens were a fun team to watch. Lions fans deserve the best.
Major shortcoming was the relentless dependence on physicality and aggressiveness. You can't go 17 games plus playoffs with players falling to IR list in droves and expect that testerone and bluster will get the job done. Every time I hear that the next man up knows what's expected of him, I absolutely want to puke. People start for a reason. People making $5m a year being replaced by players making $600k is not a recipe for long term success.
Every play in every game is not the Battle of Thermopylae, playing like it is is not sustainable.
Hope the kittens learned a lesson today and will be back better next year.
