Defense did show up. It just had to be on the field for 40 minutes.

-) Defense decides not to show up at all

-) Offense still looks like it did last year

-) Reggie Bush = the difference in this game.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear the lions were killing us mostly up the middle. I think Kevin Williams would have made a big difference

That was a blow to the head on the QB at the end of that tackle. No flag.

Really? They let the Lions drive down to the redzone nearly every drive since the opening drive. But I guess the pre game warmups tired them out too.

Everytime he stays in the pocket, he has no time to throw so really its a catch-22

Doesn't everyone close their eyes to make their wishes come true?

Absolutely GUTTING game. We should have won this if we had a better than lowest third in the league quarterback.
