Was so pumped to get home after work to watch our first game,but I got too impatient and took a sneaky look at the score after lunch. Could only bring myself to watch the highlights video, couldn’t put myself through that s**t on purpose. So ******* deflating.
What were the worst facets of our game? Outside the FOUR interceptions from Stafford,was he terrible? From reading, the play calling was piss poor again by the sounds of it. And by the looks of the pre season and our first game, the new DC isn’t much chop
I cant count how many times I’ve read the s**t about how Jim Bob and Stafford work so well together and the Lions need to keep Cooter as the OC, but what in the actual * has he added to the offence. Still have no running game and have been getting by on slot plays and the occasional flash of talent from Staffordwhen i said i haven't seen a s**t show like this in a long long time in the game day thread, J Shuttlesworth summed it up best for Melbourne supporter: "Kardinia Park 2011" .. This truly was Detroits 186.
Nothing was worse than the other:
- special teams gave up massive plays and TDs when punting and Prater missed FGs. Disgusting.
- defense smashed after the first play of the game, practically quit in the second half, Isaiah Crowell running for a 60 yard + TD summed it up best, this was a guy who couldnt run out of sight on a dark night for Cleveland last year.
- offense stunk, predictable Stafford passing game out of the gun even when it was half a contest in the first half. No balance in your game whatsoever. No idea why they even bothered getting Johnson in the 2nd round or paying Blount, refused to use them. Stafford got smashed constantly in the second half, Jets Line just mauling him, lucky to escape without a season ending injury
...Kenny Golladay your only positive for the day.
Otherwise its Chernobyl at Ford Field.
Best summed up by this photo that i saw on twitter
He'll probably be fired after week 4.I cant count how many times I’ve read the s**t about how Jim Bob and Stafford work so well together and the Lions need to keep Cooter as the OC, but what in the actual **** has he added to the offence. Still have no running game and have been getting by on slot plays and the occasional flash of talent from Stafford
We ‘supposedly’ upgraded our OL, draft Kerryon and get Blount yet refuse to establish any type of run game. What’s the ******* point? The Jets knew what we were doing before we did!I cant count how many times I’ve read the s**t about how Jim Bob and Stafford work so well together and the Lions need to keep Cooter as the OC, but what in the actual **** has he added to the offence.

This is only my 4th season as a Lions fan and I want punch myself in the head sometimes for choosing this team. I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be following them for decades.We ‘supposedly’ upgraded our OL, draft Kerryon and get Blount yet refuse to establish any type of run game. What’s the ******* point? The Jets knew what we were doing before we did!
I’ve been following these Lions since Barry was drafted. I’ve seen a lot of s**t...but today was possibly THE worst all round game I’ve seen. Embarrassing is an understatement. The team flat out quit in the 3rd qtr. Fans walked out in disgust. ESPN ditched the game half way thru the 4th for the Oak/LAR preview! It was strange, pathetic and funny at the same time.
A new low for our SOL.
Christ, 1 game in and this season looks like it could be a horror show.Patricia already lost the locker room, already on the hot seat...

NFL.com's Mike Garofolo reports Lions veterans were "griping" about new coach Matt Patricia during training camp.
Specifically, the "number of rules put in place" and "how hard he worked them" during the summer. The Lions, of course, got blown out of the building in Patricia's debut on Monday. It will be a dynamic to watch as the season unfolds. Ex-Bill Belichick assistants have a way of flying too close to the sun trying to implement his ways elsewhere.

Mo. Rules like what got Jim Harbaugh run out of San Francisco. Stupid things like no playing cards on team flights, no rap music, etc etc.Looks like he needs to work them harder. Most coaches put in place rules and under CBA they train less than they ever have. Harden up.
Because Patricia's lost the lockerroom.God this team is ass. We have a top shelf receiving group,a pretty decent rotation of running backs and the odd decent defensive player in Diggs, Slay and Kennard, but outside of that we are ass.
Our linebackers are atrocious. Jarrod Davis has the WORST feel for reading an offence. He’s always running to the wrong spot or he’s way too late to pick up the play and when he does he usually misses the tackle. Our run defence is is continuously giving up big plays to 2nd string running backs and our special teams has turned to absolute poo.
Last of all......Stafford. What the ****. He’s missing open downfield receivers by 4-5 metres. Cooter isn’t helping with these shitty short pass plays for 3/4 of the game. Doesn’t help that when we do go long Stafford is hot garbage. This is probably unreadable,but I’m half drunk and annoyed to ****
Because Patricia's lost the lockerroom.
