You don't need an x-ray for that, bro

Please define "normal defense".

 

The Lions are the #1 offense in the NFL on points, #1 for 1st D,  #2 on yards, #3 on Yards per play, #3 on NY/A passing, top-10 in rush yards/A and fewest turnovers.

 

In short, they're pretty damned good, their coach is as aggressive AF, and wasn't over until it was over.

 

I believe it was @GunnerBill who said your defense needs to get 4 stops per game to give you a winning chance against a top team.

3 punts and a fumble to go with a missed FG for each side.  The defense got 4 stops today, not counting the missed FG

 

Our defense only got 2 stops against the Rams to match the 2 stops they got on us

One more stop, or no special teams miscue TD, and we win.

Nah that's for making small things look bigger. 
I think what we need here is a wide-angle lens, to bring larger things into the frame of the picture.

Hated the play call there. Its how you wreck your franchise guy. Pound your backs

Agree 100%. Frustrates me to the core of my ass. These RBs have all looked great along with the OL blocking which has helped the running game look better than it's been in a while.

I imagine the X-ray won’t tell Us anything. Curious to see if he gets an MRI tomorrow. 
 

hope he’s ok.

I thought Xavier Worthy was X-Ray?

Josh is fine.  In other news, geologists have identified a new fault running through Ford Field in Detroit after a small earthquake was felt in Detroit early Sunday evening.

[Haslett_Stomp]

He's taking a lot of big hits rolling to his right toward the sideline.  The same type of play where defenders say they are afraid to hit Mahomes because they don't want to take a penalty.  Josh was absolutely drilled on the pass to Coleman which resulted in the roughing the passer call.  That dude was running full speed from at least 10 yards away.

What nfl defense would be normal removing 6 or 7 starters all at lb/db against the lions to be fair lol that’s when things started getting really out of hand on the defensive side

When did 3 starters out become six or 7?

After halftime…when things really started getting out of hand on the defensive side 😂. We opened the game down 3 and there were a bunch of injuries during the game…commentators did not do a great job of informing the audience in all cases though.  Maybe starters isn’t the perfect word but backups and backups of backups were going down in some cases which is even worse.

 

from the gameday thread it seemed like most of our fans didn’t even know how many guys were out…that was a straight up patchwork defense 

 

they went after Spector a ton who was only playing because Milano and Williams went down and bishop also went down which forced cam Lewis over to safety who got victimized too. We were wayyyyy down the depth chart at LB and safety.

It's kind of what we already knew after that game.

Splenectomy needs to be scheduled. 

[Logic]

The Thigh Doctor guy on Twitter (who I've since come to understand is not universally trusted) believes its an AC Joint sprain in Allen's right (throwing) shoulder.

Again, probably best to believe the words straight out of Allen's mouth and the fact that there is no other chatter anywhere about Allen's right shoulder being injured over this random "doctor" on Twitter.

Nevertheless, just reporting what I read. Don't shoot the messenger.

So, you're saying the random doctor on social media may not know what he's talking about?!?

 

Interesting........interesting indeed.

Start Trubisky, see how it goes. Ready for incoming.

No Spencer Brown for a while.

No Josh for a while.

I guess I'm fine with that as we are in the playoffs already. Mike White... calling Mike White.
