Blown out wk 7 at Baltimore. Pretty shoddy win against a terrible Vegas team on MNF wk 8. Then the bye. Barely squeaked by the Chargers where the D was total garbage in wk 10. Barely squeaked by awful Chicago in the same fashion in wk 11. Then today, another garbage showing from both Goff and the defense, when the team should have been pumped up to win at home against their nemesis on Thanksgiving before a national audience for the first time since 2016. They just aren’t as good as we all had hoped. The Minnesota games are going to be huge. They will probably make the playoffs, but will lose against Dallas, Philly, or SF.
Even after Tampa, I felt we still hadn’t played our best game. First half Packers game felt great, if that had carried through the second half I would say it was peak Lions domination. Will we see that kind of game for the rest of the regular season remains to be seen.
