I went with "the Lions are a much improved team." Heck, I could complete a pass to Calvin Johnson. That guy is a stud, and easily one of the top 5 WRs in the NFL. That pass from Hill to Johnson that went over Woody was absolutely perfect. NOBODY could have defended that.

Two major problems though - the 2 fumbles that Jordy had led to a quick 6 points by the Lions.

The other is our D was on the field all day long. You can blame the O for scoring too fast but that's almost silly. Aaron in the 2nd half threw 2 INTs but one INT I blame on Gregorious instead of Aaron. You shouldn't let a CB steal the ball from you.

So I say don't panic. We're still ironing out our problems. We have them. So does every team after 4 games. If we're like this after game 8, then panic.

If one thing really bothered me about the game, it's the injury to our S. I don't like to see one of our starters get injured for the season.

4th option. the play calling both offensively and defensively when we get a lead is a problem.

The amount of yardage the defense gave up was troubling. However, they were on the field for nearly the entire second half and held the Lions to a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter. I can not pin any blame on the defense.

They definitely have issues to address. Some of it was just poor play that we probably won't see throughout the season. Example - Greg Jennings getting beat twice in single coverage for INTs. The second was a great play by the DB, but Jennings should have at least broken up the pass on the first one. We've heard repeatedly that our offense loves those one-on-one battles and trusts the WRs to make the play. Jennings failed to do so twice.

My second issue, with Capers, is two-fold. First off, he had no answer for the delayed routes by RBs and TEs that absolutely gashed the defense. Secondly, and please tell me if I'm off base here, but I am TIRED TIRED TIRED of these sub packages. I thought the entire purpose of having a big 3 in the 3-4 was to eat up blockers to help with the pass rush. How the hell are our blitzes supposed to get to the QB when we have 1 or 2 down linemen pushing? It seemed like every time we had 3 big guys on the line, a positive play happened. This would help explain why the Packers reportedly performed so poorly on defense in long down and distance situations, when the nickel variations saw the field. I also realize that Capers showed more 3-4 this week than in the 3 prior weeks (combined?), but I think that was a result of him realizing what I'm complaining about. I'm not saying abandon the sub packages entirely. I just want to see more 3-4. Raji/Pickett/Jenkins/Neal are all quality guys that I want to see on the field more.

Saying that, a win is a win. I'll take it. They have issues to address, which is a good thing. Time to evolve and improve as a team.

You bring up a good point there about the defense.When we were in the 3-4 defense we generated more pass rush.To be honest I don't like the 2-4-5 defense it is effective on blitzes sometimes but it sometimes creates no pass rush at all,We play it to much.

I went with "lions are better than people think".

I feel much less negative than I did after the bears game, actually.

Something about that last possession, where they dominated at the line like I want, at a moment when its absolutely critical to dominate, makes me feel better.

Oh, there are still problems (and I am definitely not off the OL dead horse yet). But I'm more optimistic this week.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

It doesn't matter if the Lions are better (which they are) because we still played horribly.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

I almost picked #3, but went with #2 instead. The Lions are much improved, and should probably be 2-2 vice 0-4, but we're still the better team and should have played like it.

- Pass rush was good, but it got us killed on screens and slants.
- Secondary was terrible. Where were our safeties when the Lions were throwing one pass after another into the flat?
- Special teams were special. Not the good special; the short-bus special.
- Running game still sucks. Less than 100 yards against the Lions? Eventually we're going to face a team with a decent defense and they'll kill us by taking away our one dimension.

Not impressed. Not at all.
