I Really Feel Bad For Lions Fans….But….

I felt almost the exact same way. I was rooting for the Lions last season and this one. But when I saw Goff losing, I just thought about the 2018 NFCCG game and immediately, I was rooting for the Commanders.
What makes this particular loss even more painful or depressing is that in last year's NFCCG @ Niners, Detroit was winning the game going into the 4th quarter and if not for some overly-aggressive, questionable, dubious and frankly, borderline stupid late-game decisions by Dan Campbell, the Lions could've won that game. This year's team was more potent and explosive on offense although the defense was more injury-plagued, hurting and broken down and its thinning depth was exposed last night pretty significantly.

I do agree with the SR posters who suggested Detriot was more then a bit cocky and way over-confident going into this game and it affected their focus and determination. That bye week and #1 NFC playoff seed may have made them a bit rusty, emotionally and psychologically.
