The Official Detroit Lions Den Thread

[vols 30]

This team should be ****ing embarrassed

Pittsburgh? Yes, we should .


At least the refs bailed you out the last Pitt drive

Sewell is the only guy on the O-Line not playing like a ****ing disaster

 

[zjcvols]

This defensive line is a bunch of lazy bums

 

[zjcvols]

Please bring in a DC with no ties to this organization man I can’t stand how we play defense

 

[Chippo]

Detroit needs to do some serious revamping
This season. Good thing if we don't make the
Playoffs. We'd probably be embarrassed.

If you're talking the last play, I'm not sure how; that was clearly OPI and on top of that I thought it was BS they called that a Lions TD. His forward progress was clearly stopped.

No this

That was almost a crazy victory. Not sure about the OPI call. Technically, it probably is a penalty but that sort of contact isn't consistently flagged. Also the DB really sold the contact. I thought the receiver's forward progressed was stopped anyway.

Well, there was the OPI called on Pittsburgh where the Louns DB flat out ran into Darnell Washington while Washington was running his route which took a TD off the scoreboard for Pittsburgh. So if you think a WR pushing the DB away with both hands isn't worthy of flag, then a receiver just running his route until a DB running head on into him isn't a penalty either

I agree with you that the Darnell Washington play probably shouldn't have been flagged and that the last play was OPI (the Lions receiver clearly pushed off). What I was trying to say was that offensive pass interference is inconsistently called and receivers get away with a lot of contact regularly that should be flagged but often isn't.

The Vikings logo looks like a bird and now I can’t unsee it.

Honestly, having a team with Super Bowl expectations and not even making the playoffs is an unfamiliar feeling for me and holy hell does it suck

If TeSlaa dives he probably scores
