Week 14: Green Bay Packers (8-4) vs. Detroit Lions (4-8)

The Lions have won 4 games...

Remember that Lions finished the season 5-6 last year, after starting 5-0. Also, one of those 5 wins was a meltdown by Dallas.

I think they have talent but need better leadership. I never bought into their season last year, and didn't think they would be a contender this year. I'm just not a fan of Schwartz.

That's not my point. My point is that people are coming up with every other reason and not the actual reason as to why the Lions are bad. I can agree with cjones, it's leadership and discipline.

The Lions roster is not that talented as a whole.

Lack of discipline has been an issue with this team for a while.

I've never seen a team shoot itself more than the Lions have.

I give Jim Schwartz and Co. a lot of credit for what they have done to get us this far, but I think the issue seems to point more and more towards the coaching staff. It kind of feels like the team has taken that 'Us Against the World' attitude but in the wrong way.

There was no need for this. Hopefully, Fairley is fined for this shot on Rodgers after the ball is out of his hands. They got Suh during the game, but they missed this one, I feel.

I saw it during the game and thought it was a late hit, but he also grabs Rodgers around the neck.

Not even sure why they would have that 'Us against the World' mindset anyway.
