  1. Did Fox really cut off the clip of Dan Campbell in the middle of his post game speech and then proceed to show the entire locker room celebrations of the Rams, Eagles, Giants, Broncos, Ravens, and Packers and their coach’s ENTIRE speeches?

  2. It’s a different team from the past when you don’t feel worried going into the last drive to close it out. Gritty win by the defense.

  3. Great road Win, Lions. Love our D and our run game.

    Injuries suck, and…

    Doomers still need to STFU, especially the last five minutes of every fucking game.

  4. The win is great, but the offense seriously needs to figure this out. It’s not early anymore. This level of sloppiness is inexcusable. The weird playcalling, Goff’s inconsistent play (though both of these were better in the first half today… it’s a start I guess), sloppy pre-snap penalties, giving up an INSTANT PRESSURE AND SACK ON A 3-MAN RUSH?!?! We haven’t even played a good defense yet! (no, Tampa is not a good defense down Vea, Kancey, Winfield, and Hall — see what happened to them against a terrible team today) Scoring 0 points in the second half against a horrible Cardinals defense is just not good, period.

    Now on the positive side, the defense absolutely BALLED OUT the last 3 quarters. I might even say that was the best 3 quarters they’ve played under Glenn, and that was without Barnes, Anzalone, and McNeill for 95% of it. That was really nice to see, AND it was against a mobile quarterback.

    It’s exciting to think about what this team could be if the offense gets back to the level of the last two years. The ceiling is ridiculously high if they can get it together.

  5. Ok now that the W is confirmed. I think these first few games show how good our team is/can be. Sleepwalking through the whole halves on offense and still winning in the nfl is crazy

  6. Had St Brown +75 yards and a TD and Harrison Jr with 50 yards and a TD. All hit except St. Brown. 74 yards….

    Then a stat change happened and he is sitting at 75!! Lets go baby.

  7. Why is the 2 minute warning so blown out of proportion. They act like they blew it dead AFTER the interception. You can hear multiple whistles before Goff threw it away to protect himself. I get being upset, but man that would have never happened if it wasn’t blown dead before.

  8. Great, great win. We were in control the entire game. Defense was great, offense looked better, Goff looked good for the most part, just need to clean up penalties and second half stalling. Hope all of our banged up guys are okay.

    Now, can we please beat the Seahawks?

  9. Good win. Defense looked good. Got back to our roots on offense, but still a lot to work on the the passing side, but better to have cleanup to do after a win than a loss. Bates still a concern.

    Hopefully no major injuries and we get back some of the missing guys.

    This season is going to be a bit wide open.

  10. A TON of Lions fans at the game today. At least half the crowd wearing blue.

    Hopefully the broadcast caught all the Let’s go Lions/Jared Goff chants

  11. Very disappointed in the offense but the defense looks elite so far. We just cannot go 4-5 drives in a row with no points. I’m hopeful the offense will figure it out but man, so far the offense looks bad outside of the running game.

  12. Love this game for JG. He showed mental toughness by having a great bounce back game after a tough outing last week. O line and the RBs feasting tho! I give tons of credit to our D for keeping a dangerous offense to 13 points.

    These are my brand new mother fucking lions babay!

  13. Our failure to score much (or any) in the 3rd quarter and putting pressure on us into the 4th is a concerning trend. Defense won us that game though, which is a weird thing to say about the team since our rebuild.

  14. The bright side is we now have a competent secondary, even if it’s not the best. That makes are defense good. Meanwhile, our main problem on offense is we can’t figure out a balance for all of our weapons. I have to think we’ll get it down eventually, and once we do there is no one we can’t beat.

  15. Lions won

    49ers lost

    Tigers won

    White Sox set loss record

    Michigan won

    Michigan State… well

    ITS GOOD TO BE A MICHIGANDER

  16. I really need to know what this beef is with the Lions that seemingly all commentators have. I don’t understand, honestly.

  17. Brian Branch is a top 3 DB. Not too early or too homerish to say. Guy is everywhere in every facet of the game.

  18. Branch is sticky in coverage and an absolute monster in run support. And he’s a demon when he blitzes. Has the most PBs in the league. Guy is a stud and a cornerstone. No doubt.

  19. Good: Hutchinson another sack brings his total to 6.5 + pressures. Brian branch (hope he’s okay!) 2 pd leads the league with 7.
    Secondary played well Arnold is going to be awesome. Harrison was 5/11 for 64 yards. That’s an inefficient day but he did score.
    Run defense held the cards to 77 yards total! Including Kyler Murray. James Conner had a 1.9 ypc average. DL controlled the game. DJ reader is a huge upgrade.

    Bad: branch head injury. Hopefully everything is okay. Offense didn’t score in the 2nd half. Goff was better but not back to last season form. Alim McNeill didn’t return. Barnes also did not return.

    Ugly: nothing lions won

  20. Offense is averaging less than 19 points per game excluding OT through three games. Injuries piling up on defense, which is what held us in this game, and the Seahawks offense is on fire as well. Our offense has got to get it figured out, and quick.

  21. Probably our best defensive performance overall? Just a bit better on those QB scrambles and turning them into sacks and we’ll be pretty good to go.
