Where to begin.\u00a0 First the obvious, Seattle is not the team it was last year.\u00a0 But the absence of M. Lynch was a gift to the Lions.\u00a0 Now onto the game.\u00a0 The Lion’s offence was totally ineffective.\u00a0 Forget the last minute heroics.\u00a0 To many 3 and out series when they had the ball.\u00a0 Kinda begs the question why some version of plays in the ‘hurry up offence’ are not reflected in the overall game plan?\u00a0 And yes, I realize Seattle was in some type of ‘prevent defence’.\u00a0 Did not have much effect.\u00a0 The Lion’s running game is still sub-par.<\/p>\n
The Lion’s defence did prove that blitzing will keep Wilson running for his life.\u00a0 He will not last long as a running QB if this continues.\u00a0 Also, missed tackles helped make him look like a version of Houdini.\u00a0\u00a0 Why can they play almost one half of the game with a single penalty and go back to the ‘old ways’ in the second half of the game?<\/p>\n
The referees did ‘blow’ the fumble and swatting of the bad out of the end zone.\u00a0 Think back to the Dallas game and the pass interference call that was reversed.\u00a0 Is this part of the Lion’s curse and burden to bear forever?\u00a0 What is going to haunt them is all the injuries incurred in this game.\u00a0 Sadly, a 6-10 won lost record is about the best outcome for this season.<\/p>\n
Now is the time to see what the ‘new guys’ can do.\u00a0 Give the ‘wounded warriors’ a chance to heal properly and the ‘new guys’ experience they need to adapt to the ‘big show’.<\/p>\n
Maybe if all beleaguered Lion’s fans appeal to the ‘on high’ that we have paid our penitence and it is time for the Bobby Lane curse to expire.\u00a0 If not, it’s on to our 59th year of rebuilding.<\/p>\n
