Crazy to say maybe, but a HUGE part of the game, Ebron dropping the TD on the opening drive. Think the game goes way different if he caught that one. **** Ebron

Ebrons drop
Tates Drop
Stafford putting the ball on the ground
Robinson with the hold

I think if we get stops on 3rd down is probably a bigger factor. Regardless of when it was scored, if we put up 24 points, and our Defense and ST do their jobs, we should win.

So basically if we play perfect football we would win. Who would've guessed. Face it, we got completely wrecked on both sides of the ball. The only reason we got back into the game is because Carolina started playing very conservative with trying to protect the ball and run out the clock.

moreso D continue what it had been doing past 4 games. They let up big play after big play on key downs
ST was horrid, not flipping the field and not much positive impact.

We don't need to play perfect football as it was only a 3 point game and we played like sh*. We need to make the plays that are there and be more disciplined on D.

Carolina playing conservative has nothing to do with our ability to put points up, there was and is a time where teams have played conservative and we didn't score. im sure carolinas plan wasnt let them back in the game

The offense has been pretty disappointing so far considering the roster. Today was another poor performance when it counts. Not sure what the fix is, but they need to do something.

I said this earlier but its way too vanilla. After watching Atl and Carolina play, when the ball is snapped there is so much misdirection that even the camera man gets edgy. Our offensive scheme counts on our Wideouts creating separation and little else. Idk if its JC mentality or JBC lack of creativity.

Stafford also still misses really easy throws. In the past 3 weeks, there have been at least 5 balls that WR had to go get vs being hit in stride. While its a matter of feet, it limited their ability to make plays after the catch. The ball tate "dropped" was at least a foot away from where it should have been.

I don't think its a coincidence that Stafford is a comeback King as it seems that when we have to be aggressive our offense somewhat responds. Its all been a matter of him making the right decisions and seems as if JC and JBC have in grained in him to manage games vs winning them.

Pretty discouraging game, Hope they bounce back cause they were looking like a top 3 team before crapping the bed in that one.

The defense is utter garbage and the offense isn't much better. Can we just lock this? lol

I'm totally focused on basketball at this point..... Until the Pistons start 0-5 lol

With Rodgers going down and minny's QB situation murky at best the division is wide open. Lions are only one win behind GB and MIN!
