I actually disagree, I feel better coming out of this game than at any other point this season

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

At least the defense showed some signs of life.

It looks like Suh is rubbing off on the rest of that defense. >.<

On that Tate TD, White made usual WTF play and Vaccaro missed game saving tackle.

The Goodwin injury hurt, a lot. They started getting a lot of pressure

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

You feel better that our D got lazy with a lead and let one player juke 4 of ours with 4 minutes to go?

Then future HOF throws his 7th pick in 6 weeks to add insult to injury?

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Lions won because we couldn't put the game away with 5 minutes left. Instead of scoring a TD, we kick a stinking FG to go up 23-10 instead of 27-10 with 5 minutes left.

Blame the refs if y'all want, but giving up a 73 yard TD with less than 4 minutes to go and up by 13 is pure hot garbage.

Vaccaro is terrible, can't tackle at all.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

Was you saying the same, when he got that bizarre deflection pick? or last year was he horrible?

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

I didn't have a problem with them passing to try and pick up first downs. I did however have a problem with the score 20-10, instead of showing a killer instinct they played conservatively and kicked a field goal to go up 23-10. I had a bad feeling from then on.

Re: Officiating is why the Lions won this game.
 

You can't put the loss on any one person, but the team as a whole just does not have any killer instinct. As soon as they get a good lead they stop playing.

I sorry but Brees should no longer be considered "elite", if we had Rodgers or Manning or Brady we would have won this game along with others this year. I am not saying Brees is done, but Brees is no longer a winning QB and he is no longer elite in my opinion.
