As the dust settles....

I just want to say that i'm proud of our boys. For the year going 11-5 and making the playoffs. And for yesterday....
- Walking into Lambeau and going toe-to-toe, stride for stride with a very good not great Packers team
- Painfully obvious that the Lions not only do they have to play another NFL team but they also have to play against the refs. They get ZERO respect as a football team...its sad.
- Defense was a bit sketchy. Made some plays but got beat up too. Gotta clean some shit up
- Offense was sketchy too. Stafford was ok but could have been better. RB situation is frusturating. Love Bell but he needs to hold onto the fn football. Bush looked like he was maybe turning the corner last week but showed no burst and he's weak as fuck.
- I like what they did with the 2-minute/hurry up drill. They need to continue with that.
- Get Riddick more involved.

Not mad at the effort. Tough situation going to GB. That game could of easily been won by the Lions. They beat themselves on more than one occasion.

Bring on the Cowgirls!!!

- GET RIDDICK MORE INVOLVED

Agreed with your post, I believe this is the most important sentence of your post though. Bench Ross, and give Riddick ALL the slot duties. Hell, bench Ross, and alternate Tate and Riddick in the slot when Tate is not playing the number 2 receiver. They need to move these guys around more. Give defenses more looks. Maybe, just maybe, this will get this offense firing.

Same ol' Lions. Just the 90s edition this year instead of the 2000s.

They made the playoffs 6 times in the 90s.

Pretty sure he meant the 90's version that made the playoffs roughly every other year and lost a road game in the wildcard round.

I'm glad most people are on board the Riddick train. As much of an improvement we've had in coaching this season, I'm disapointed they're still trying to ride that Reggie Bush hype.

When a CB forces you out of bounds short of a 1st down making it 4th down....you're fucking done. Turnovers aside, that was the play that made me lose my mind.

Yep, Bell would've brushed that dude off like a fly, not sure why Bush sees the field, especially in a passing down. Riddick and Bell are just so much better in that situation.

agree 100% Bush is part of the problem, dude does nothing but stall drives and they need to stop giving him the ball! park it on the bench bush you ain't got nutton!

One thing I noticed about Bush. He NEVER seems to be ready for the ball on passing routes. How many times this year did a ball hit him when he wasn't expecting it? 4? 5? Probably more than the rest of the team COMBINED.

How is that possible?

I, for one, will be glad to see him go this offseason.

I was a fan of Riddick in college even when I hate notre dame....great combination of quickness and great hands. And showed to be a team player by moving from rb to wr back to rb. Loved the dream of him being the "Darren Sproles" of this offense. But unfortunately "most people" in yhour comment doesn't include Lombardi....our dumb ocord doesn't use him the entire game....game after game after game. Its a shame...

just think... Sunday we'll all get a nice reminder of just how much better the offense was under linehan as Dallas lights up like an XMAS tree.

I have no idea why and no numbers to back it up.....

I think we beat Dallas. I just think we match up well with them. Dez may get 120 yds.....but our defense will force the game into Romo's hands and out of Murray's.

Dallas 24

maybe but they didn't do a good job stopping Lacy, I was surprised how little pressure they got on Rodgers I really didn't think the packers Oline was all world the whole effort was pathetic. The Dallas line is much better than the packers if they couldn't get to a one legged rodgers Romo will likely have 30 seconds to scan the field everytime he drops back. I think it's an absolute slaughter.

Dallas 54
Lions 13

They did a really good job on Lacy after the first drive....(19 carries for 46 yards after the first drive) but overall it was just average.

The Dallas line is better, no doubt.....

Like I said.....I just think we match up well against Dallas and will come out of there with a W.

Dallas went 4-4 at home this year with losses to SF, Wash (McCoy went for 300), Philly and Arizona......they can be beaten there.

Remember when restructuring Suh got us Bush?

welp....if McCoy can get 300 on them....then Stafford should be good for atleast 226. guess it depends if he wants to launch it 15 yards over wrs heads all day again...

What?

You confused, Gumby?? I'm saying he wasn't that bad yesterday. His comp % was terrible but he still led some drives and threw for 3 TDs.

Get it now? Of course not...
