  1. I played ball in Detroit. (High school ) haha anyway, life long lions fan living abroad and this team has massive heart and talent. I just don’t k is about a lot of the plays the new offensive coach has been calling! Fit rid of the sideways pass forever number one and second USE OUR weapon teslaa more often. For some reason Goff wasn’t very accurate this game either.

  2. I love how all these mfs talk about their teams injuries but fail to talk about the bucs injuries… just like the Falcons fans saying they would've won if their kicker didn't miss a field goal but the bucs also missed a field goal…

  3. even slapped up, doped out, drugged up kim mathers could see that shit was fuckin whack, right Marshall?

  4. Are you stupid? The Bucs with the highest scoring offenses in the NFL! You must be high or AI. Here is the deal the Bucs coming into the Lions game were 5 and 1 but when you look closer at it the cracks start to show. In their first 4 wins they won by 3 points or less and they all came at the end of the games in 59 seconds or less. 2 games were won as time expired and one of those wins was against the Jets who are 0-7 on the season! So the Bucs won 4 games by a total of 10 points (3, 1, 2, 3) and lost one game by 6 points. They had scored 165 points in 6 games averaging 27.5 points a game, not exactly highest in the NFL as there are 9 other teams that have scored more and average more per game than the Bucs (including the Lions). If anything, the 4 games the Bucs won by 3 points or less was very lucky and they could easily be 1-6 right now. The Lions exposed something with the Bucs and a lot of Bucs fans will say they were injuries that affected their play on Monday night but that doesn’t go to well as Detroit was injured at many positions on their defense as well. What did Detroit expose? That their injured defense was still great enough to hold a team like the Bucs to 9 points in a game and only 251 yds of offense.

  5. if it ain't broke don't fix it, let these guys play, like Dano said, if someone didn't earn a spot on the team should we just put them on the team anyway. These guys earned a starting spot in my opinion.

  6. Bro this shows that we need another qb even more because how we stop them over 5 times and only had 14 for 3 quarters we will never win a Super Bowl like that

  7. Lions' FG kicker Bates has been trash all season so that's why Campbell is sending the FG unit out even less now.

  8. I was at work watching the game, I would see the Bucs had the ball and were driving down the field, then the next minute I look up and the Lions have the ball back again.

  9. My favorite drive defensively for the lions that game was the 2nd to last. Buccaneers fighting, clawing for every single yard. The Lions made them run 18 plays and almost 6 minutes in a must have it situation for the Bucs, and they didn’t even score a point… Beautiful

  10. Our defense actually looked scary this game. They were flying out there, punching balls out, making big hits, it was maybe the best defense this team has played the last 3 years. Incredible

  11. Masterclass defensive performance just nothing but pure grit and we were out for blood. Completely shut down defense on one of the best qbs & team in the nfl. The fact that guys that never even played in the nfl just screams the drive that dan campbell gets the team ready for war every game. This was truly special though. Dude your breakdown was so detailed better then anything ive seen on espn that covered this game. Respect bro.

  12. Thing that stands out to me is Tampa's ToP. Basically averaged like 2 minutes per drive which is nuts. One of the best defensive performances, if not the best, of the Campbell era all with a practice squad secondary. Crazy

  13. The Lions Defense is genuinely terrifying. Who else has that type of talent at every level?
    Hutchinson and McNeil up front, Campbell and Anzelone in the middle, with Branch, Joseph, and Robertson in the backfield.
    It’s like they’re playing Madden.

  14. It's a long season, and it's all about the depth of your Roster. Dan Campbell knows this. Take a look at least season. We all saw how far Detroit made it, and they were riddled with injuries all season long, including losing Hutch! They planned for this, and it shows.

  15. 2:25 my issue is, that is PI fair. However, we literally just watched the bucs do the same thing to Isaac Teslaa on 4th down for a td pass that clearly slowed him down away from the ball and it wasnt called. If TA tugged Teslaa there, flag 100% of the time. But because the giys not a Lion its just "sticky" coverage i guess

  16. 1:04 it’s surprising because the Lions defense is generally sh*t. Total a**. The weak link of the team the last 3 years, the reason the Lions haven’t gone farther than the NFC Championship Game. Their offense is amazing, they are stacked. Defense under Glenn was garbage. Yeah I get the injuries last year for sure, hard to overcome, but even at full strength they were subpar and unimpressive. I’m hoping Sheppard’s defense is better than Glenn’s however I’m afraid it’s not. We’ve seen games like this before when they come out and have an amazing game. Then the next game it’s right back to a track meet where if our offense doesn’t score on a drive, we’re screwed because our defense cannot stop their offense. So they’ll lose like 55-47 or something crazy. The week before this KC was moving down the field at will on them. Couldn’t make a stop. I wish our defense was just 25% as good as our offense. We may have a chance. But until we get rid of every remnant of Glenn’s staff, I don’t think it will change. We’ll have 1 off games like this, but then it’s back to not being able to stop them anyone and being unfortunate stars in other teams offensive players highlight reels.

  17. I wonder when fans from the rest of the league are going to start respecting the Lions? Most fans of other teams I talk to still think they are the lovable losers. Like, huh?
