Game 13: Lions @ Eagles Thread

[cheeno]

The defensive line splits were beyond horrible in this game..
The gaps the gaps the gaps...
Eagles adjusted their blocking in the second half and we just
did not adjust on the fly.. Hard to watch..

You could see the results of Philly adjusting clear as day.

D, got abused against the run in terrible weather conditions. I bet Ray Rice doesn't rush for 50 yards next week, any takers? Fluke game for this defense in blizzard conditions

Why didn't the Eagles have a fluke game on defense. Last time I checked they played in the same blizzard.

snow in philly isn't a fluke. Coaches not having a gameplan for the snow is what happened. COaches not being able to adjust after halftime is what happened. Defense not being able to stop runs up the middle is what happened. LEvy and Tulloch sucked the entire second half is what happened. SUh and Fairley got dominated the entire second half is what happened.

Lions suck all together in shitty weather, at Ford field (inside) the run defense will be much better. The Eagles are not the Lions that's why their defense did not collapse

I don't think Rice will run wild either, he has sucked and the Ravens have sucked running the ball in particular. I do think we'll get beat deep about 4 times. Call me crazy.

This was such a dumb move. Quinn is an in the box blitzing saftey that we acquire to play deep zone. MM should be fired for that alone.

Mlive board is going crazy too..

I'm so sick of this franchise 50+ years of letdown and disappoint is taking a toll! we can't keep doing this to ourselves.. How can we find away to just say fck it and not care, not watch and just move on with our lives without them.. I mean seriously this has all gotten to just not be worth it

There is nothing good at the end this story it's just the same ol crap year after year decade after decade

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Got my tickets for Monday night. Hope they don't play like this.

Agree it's not healthy human behaviour. We need some kind of counciling.

It's the lions they'll win the next two then lose the final at minn and GB wins the div by .5..that's what the lions do

Seriously we do, I can't take this anymore it's been going on way too long and it's not healthy it needs to stop..I have to find away to stop watching and caring and move on because it's never going to happen with this train wreck of a franchise joke

This is no doubt how the scenario plays out in my mind. With Akers missing the field goal at the whistle.

 

[biggunsbob]

Yup
GB
9-6-1
Lions
9-7
Bears
8-8 or worst..

After the Lions left the Silverdome in '01 I was kinda hoping that someone like A. Alfred Taubman who owned the late championship-winning USFL Michigan Panthers would have started an expansion AFC franchise that could have played there. If the new football club became more successful and popular then the loser Lions might have eventually had to be moved elsewhere.

Having a very good year in one of my FFL this year at least, one I usually do poorly in, will plan to go out of top, I think after this year I'm going to try my best to retire from all these fantasy teams and just stop watching the nfl all together, it's just too much psychological damage being a fan of this joke franchise..I can't keep allowing for this damage to continue...it effects my personality and sets back all the positive spiritual growth I've managed over the last few years, this troubles me deeply and I have to figure out how to stop all this insanity...

ford sell the team and let someone move it away.. you might be doing a lot of people in this cold depressing state a huge favor if you did, we'd at least be forced to move on... and long term that not be a bad thing for everyone

I, like the rest if you, am a masochist that can't help but watch. But I find I'm getting over losses a lot quicker now. I'm already over it. Fuck 'em...they're not ruining entire weeks of my life anymore. I've got plenty of things to look forward to this week...Monday night is like #20 out of #21 on my list.

Once they went through the horrible Millen years...that helped me just easily move on from losses.

I care about the Lions and always will. But each game I watch I have the same approach...hope for the best and always expect the worst. I'm just glad we only play once per week.

 

[cheeno]

Seems like I am in the same boat as the rest of you only dumber. I have season tickets so I actually pay for the punishment. I'm like one of those guys who pays a dominatrix to be a slave.
