Gentle Lion’s fans,

Detroit had a running game until the injury of Johnson. Bleak omen for the rest of the season. Blount seems to second guess his self to much and gets stuffed. Third down conversion are still miserable. Touchdown opportunities need to be ‘cashed in’ instead of settling for field goals. Major weakness against good teams. A gigantic improvement of only one penalty for 5 yards.

I think Newton had an ‘off’ day even though he threw for 331 yards. His receivers dropped catch-able passes. The 2 point gamble at game’s end was a gamble by a team out of contention for the playoffs.

Keep your optimism in check until after the Packer’s game.
