Im not concerned about the loss but i am really concerned about the injuries and the injuries have caught up with this team it's really that simple i still believe they can win out the next 3 games but the offense is gunna have to be almost perfect and I still want to believe they can win the SB but i believe a little less and less after each injury you can say next man up but the talent drop off eventually becomes insurmountable the front 7 was already decimated now its the DBs dropping and we should absolutely be concerned Alim McNeill David Montgomery Carlton Davis Jr Khalil Dorsey are all done for the season its really sad because injuries could be what cost this team a SB because i still believe this is the best team in the NFL but the injuries are becoming insurmountable
Yes I agree, the injuries is sucking the life out of this team, especially on defense. It's really the reason why they lost. I don't want to sound defeated, but, there's a reason the starters are the starters, and playing the backups is out of necessity, not because of their talent, or lack of it. Next man up is the Mantra, but I've written off the Super Bowl now this year. The last regular season game against Minnesota should tell us alot. It's such a shame. My friend mentioned the crap surface at Ford Field, and I'm beginning to believe it. That fake turf is probably the same stuff they put in their Ford cars....
@bruceradz I'd love to natural grass replace that turf but my biggest issue for next season is ben johnson I'm literally praying that he decides he has unfinished business and stays because we know what the offense is under him its the best in the league AG has been good but if takes a HC job fine but losing ben johnson would be bad hopefully there is some truth to rumor his wife and family don't want to leave Michigan and that has weight in his decision also give him raise if necessary this lions teams window is already beginning to close thats y I'm just devastated by these injuries every week since the Cardinals game someone has gone down it's unreal
There’s no way the NFL can add another game without at least 2 byes. McNeil is out 12 months, so most of next season on a big contract…that hurts. Better call up Suh.
Iffy could have made a difference against Allen as a 3rd down LB or spy. We needed some speed. Pascal is too slow to play on the outside. WTF was AG's plan to stop Allen?
When you lose over half your defense to injury, the game plan is to SURVIVE...ag has limitations of what he can gameplan because of the personnel at his disposal. And you can't run anything complicated when most of the guys just got to the team.
I told myself at the begining of the year. The only thing that would stop the Lions from a Superbowl season was injuries. So sad, such a shame. A dream season to turn so ruthlessly against our boys. Im trying to stay positive. But they say the cream always rises to the top. Theres not much cream left. Too many key injuries is an understatement. Who kidnapped our defense? taking a page out of the movie Major League. " who the blank are these guys"
Frustrating game as the LIons can play much better. Some great plays esp, flicker, hook & ladder, and pass to Dan Skipper. Troubling: INJURIES & I think Montgomery was going to pass 1000 again. OMG! The Defensive linemen spent more time jumping in the air than getting to the QB, falling for JV level pump fakes from a taller QB slowed down the pass rush and even caused McNeil to be injured. Just get to the QB! Could have just had BB hawk him, damn near every play. OMG! Where was the running game? I know the Receivers were dropping catchable balls & the O-line was getting beaten and holding more than they should, but why not rotate some more guys in? Using more backup Tight Ends in jumbo for Montgomery & Gibbs could have eased the O-line panic later in the game. At least create more quick pass outlets, (like the Bills did to you). Some of Goff's errant throws and holding the ball too long could have been prevented. OMG! Call the Time-out Earlier! WTF? If you're going to do an on-side kick to one side of the field, why not have some of the extra players quickly loop back to that side as well? Once they were beaten, nobody was there! You handed them 7 easy points in a 6 point game!. Hopeful they can lick their wounds and keep moving forward., but the injuries are crushing us this season. You can see it taking a toll on the team. Time for a new strategy. Still a great team and I'm sure they can over-come! Maybe need BB to be a Linebacker! NFL needs to let all the Practice Squad be used in December +
We clearly have a problem with the defensive coaches pushing the team too hard. They love to preach violence, and this is why we have this problem. This is not normal.
@beez991 It's not about conditioning. These guys are being trained to smash. They are going at tackles and blocks too hard. It's pretty obvious, no one else has this many injuries on defense. It's not a coincidence.
@@benfoster5387 Right? Never seen this many injuries in my 1/2 century of watching football. They are either cursed or they are causing these injuries. And I don't believe in curses.
@@yugnok Exactly. I'm 50 and have been watching this sport since my early teens. I've never seen attrition like this ever. And mostly focused on defense. Our coaching has to be to blame.
Instead of being a Duesch about it, how bout u throw out some names to pick up! Or how bout u push another fan duel ad in the middle of your cast!🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽
Omg, just quit PFF already. Goff stood on his head yesterday without much help and not even top 5. They have an enormous bias against him period. PFF is trash. Please stop using them!
I don’t think the onside was ridiculous. The D was escorting Buffalo down the field. I was actually thinking they might want to keep doing onside kicks. Best case is we could hold them to a FG or possibly recover it. Worst case is the Bills score another TD and the Lions have more time on the clock.
Get rid of the Astroturf and put in real sod. The game “slowing down” is bs, unless your not athletic. an exceptional athlete can play on turf or sod, same as wearing pads it does not impact great athletes. Vaki at at safety or RB??
I believe the fake turf or what is underneath at Ford Field is garbage, probably use the same garbage in their cars. I would love to hear from former Lion players, and what they have to say about it
I have wondered the same thing. It is either the worst of luck or we are doing something wrong. I don’t think the lions have changed anything in their approach to the game from last year to this year, and we did not see many injuries last year. So I have decided to chalk it up to incredibly bad luck. The Curse Of Bobby Layne, ha?!?!
Idk a broken jaw is not from conditioning. D-MO has been playing injured for sometime, Hutch and Dorsey bad luck also not conditioning and then it's football injuries happen
Their defense is pretty much guys called off their couch! They're gonna have to hope the offense can find a way to score 50+ for the rest of their games!
If you said anything you couldn't be more right about, it is that Tony Romo is annoying. An annoying butthead. You could even hear that he probably favored or even bet on the bills. But mainly he just says a lot of bone-headed things.
Didn't you see the game yesterday? They are done again! I have been a Lions fan for 65 years and every year its the same old thing. They get our Hope's up and then smash them to pieces. Sick of this 😡
I say it's obvious you're putting the cart before the horse, but maybe it makes more sense to say you're blowing the grenade before the ring pull. The future is uncertain, yet we put up more points per game than any other team in the league, and even a bad defense can hold good teams to under 32, or is it 33 now.
Historically top offense that still has almost everyone. Still many playmakers on defense (Kerby, Branch, Jack Campbell, Reader) There is still hope and a chance. 30 years of watching here and it’s never been better. Win it all against all odds the Campbell GRIT way and everyone will change their tune. They lose, so what? Still have a shot at a dynasty and if we’ve watched through decade after decade til this point, let’s be real here…we’re still gonna watch going forward. GO LIONS
@@NightwingTV That negativity has never been wrong in my nearly 1/2 century of watching the Lions. The sun always comes up in the morning, so I expect it to happen tomorrow--just like I expect the Lions to disappoint.
No one can replace knuckles but I have a good feeling about Vaki

Gibbs is averaging well over 5 yards of carry. We might even have been better off all along if he had 75% of the load.
True
Gibbs not a work horse.
Montgomery was also one of the best pass blocking RBs in the league as well. Every game he would knock a defender on his back.
@Jay-n262 Such an underrated skill man. Pass blocking from the RB is so overlooked.
There’s no way the NFL can add another game without at least 2 byes.
McNeil is out 12 months, so most of next season on a big contract…that hurts.
Better call up Suh.
How about expanding the rooster, it should be at least 55 players.
Add more players to the active rosters, or cut the regular season to 16 games !!!!
Iffy could have made a difference against Allen as a 3rd down LB or spy. We needed some speed. Pascal is too slow to play on the outside. WTF was AG's plan to stop Allen?

Glasgow Is just about finished, Ragnow was on his butt all day against Oliver
Hi Matt, posting again great content as always what about Manu for a defensive linemen? TJ watt did it, they are in Dire Straits
One of the most stupid ideas I've ever heard.
@ shows you never played football or if you did you were below average like your IQ.
Frustrating game as the LIons can play much better. Some great plays esp, flicker, hook & ladder, and pass to Dan Skipper.

We all said Aiden had no shot at coming back this year. Look at the medical reports on him lately.

Looks like Bobby Lane isn't finished yet
Do we need to ask the question about technique, fundamentals, basics, what these players are being coached? It is fair to ask this question.
I have wondered the same thing. It is either the worst of luck or we are doing something wrong. I don’t think the lions have changed anything in their approach to the game from last year to this year, and we did not see many injuries last year.

They may practice too hard?
Their defense is pretty much guys called off their couch! They're gonna have to hope the offense can find a way to score 50+ for the rest of their games!
Aaron Glenn is gonna have to swallow his pride and stop playing press man every down if we want to salvage the defense for this year.
If you want to sound like Tonya LaLonde, you need to record your podcast under water.
This is called karma for the Kirby Joseph dirty hits. Sucks to suck but the football gods always have a way to make things equal.
