Keep in mind the Lions are one of the worst rushing offenses in the NFL. And without their starting RB.
That’s not even an internal clock problem it’s simply poor awareness and inability to make a decision because you’re playing scared
No doubt progress was made from last week to this. Last week: zero first downs in the first quarter. This week: one. Next week I'll be looking for two.
I meant to write out a whole big thing the day after the trade deadline, but instead just settled for saying, "This year is over". That wasn't just related to Trubisky being our QB the rest of the year - it was that the defense, given no hope for the offense, was absolutely going to give up. We've seen this story before. One side of the ball doing enough to win games, the other side hopeless and the season clearly done for, both sides of the ball just quit and call it a year. This defense has talent. But it's not without its flaws, and when the team is headed to the dumpster, the players likely aren't going to playing hard enough to cover those flaws. The team has given up. Nagy, this is Trestman territory. And Pace - this is Emery territory.
