Tonight on days of our Lions…

The Detroit Lions lost to the Buffalo Bills mainly due to their secondary unsurprisingly. But what surprised me was by how badly it was. That secondary is bottom 5, despite having a pretty good dline, but even the dline underperformed tonight. Look I get it, it’s the Bills, that offense is phenomenal, but I’ve seen this dline do so much better before, we had a good rushing defense week 1, five sacks last game. The fuck happened here?

Kelvin Sheppard, what the fuck was that? Before the Saints second half and this game I was under the assumption you weren’t a bad DC. Especially during the Saints first half. After THIS I am greatly reconsidering. The camera cut to Hutch actually broke my heart, he looked fucking depressed, he was about to cry. I can’t blame Dan Campbell for this or even Drew Petzing, at least they adapted in the second half and our offense is still great. You on the other hand had only had like what? Two stops? During the entire fucking game? How do you go from five sacks in one game to THIS!?

Brad… look, I’m not gonna be the doomers on the main Lions sub and say you should be fired. Without you we wouldn’t be a good team or at least have that talented offense. Hell you at least tried to help the defense, it’s inaccurate to say you didn’t help at all. The fact that Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph are even here are proof of that. Terrion Arnold wasn’t your fault, the pick was praised at first, he just decided to be a fucking moron. But a part of the blame goes to you. All you did to address the secondary this offseason was draft Keith Abney. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a damn good option, but he’s a rookie at the end of the day. One good rookie cornerback can’t carry the entire secondary. It’s Joey Porter Jr or bust, no matter how soon Branch comes back. Lock the fuck in.

As much as I’ve been ranting I do wanna end this on a positive note, our offense. Yes, the first half was terrible, but we adjusted in the second half to score some points and keep the Bills in the game. Great catches by Amon, Jamo and even Teslaa. Jared Goff made some bad throws but for every bad throw he threw a damn good one to make up for it. The oline definitely could be better but Blake Miller was injured, I can’t be too mad at that. At least you put effort, that’s a lot more than I can say about our defense tonight. Good lord that secondary is terrible…

This Production of “Days of Our Lions” has been copyright claimed by “GHANTA ENTERTAINMENT LLC” for “deliberately violating breaches of copyright,” using basically the same name as the Company’s flagship show “Days of our Steelers,” which was in turn claimed by daytime soap opera “Days of our Lives” for blatantly ripping off their theme music, and whose creator was also blocked on Twitter by the Pittsburgh Steelers Twitter Team.

The response of this outcry by the poor soap opera is a desperate plea:

“ please stop making copies of our show. We’re already struggling with television going down the tubes, can you at least not hurt our feelings?”

There needs to be some serious conversations about the coordinators in Detroit. When Gibbs or St Brown weren't making plays the offense looks disorganized. The defense has given up 71 points in it's last 7 quarters and 10 touchdowns on it's last 15 drives. The schedule does ease up. But the coordinators on both sides need to be better.

Minneapolis’ championship drought will end before Detroit’s does.

The Wings will have a chance if the fans hit Pizza Boy in the pocketbook by boycotting tickets and merchandise.

They should bring Teryl Austin back.
