It was like our Offense was half asleep those first several drives.The Detroit Offense is very good, I expected them to put up 21-31 points and it was a matter of mitigating that. That 22-28 points area was where we had to hold Detroit to have any realistic shot at winning. After giving up that in 1 half it was an uphill battle.I commend the group for energizing themselves and not giving up. This Detroit team is built much better than we’re accustomed. Currently playing like a top 5-6 team. This isn’t the Lions of old right now.Dud: 1st half play calling. When teams overpursue the best way to slow them is dump passes and moving that pocket more. Create a moving target. The game plan was too vanilla.ST was a near disaster. Rich needs to get the holding calls on Return solved yesterday. Too many hurtful penalties, it’s not like ST is in its first year.I’ll chalk it up to a little false confidence and excessive celebrating (from last week) on a short week. Plus a banged up OL and indisciplined ST. We weren’t prepared at all and it was apparent.</blockquote>
