00:00three football games, covered their spreads for 99 seconds of football?
00:06I mean, never looked the level that everybody thought they were?
00:11Detroit finished the season two and three against playoff teams,
00:14not including Green Bay and Minnesota.
00:17The Detroit Lions defense that people thought,
00:19because of the week 18 game against Norton, man, let me tell you,
00:24Angeloni, yeah, how's he look?
00:27Still chasing his tail out there.
00:29They had 40 points put on their head.
00:31Washington punted one time, once.
00:36So this is a thing now, if you're the Lions, you go, well, don't worry.
00:41We're a perennial.
00:42Well, you're probably going to lose both your coordinators
00:45this offseason, which is not an easy thing.
00:48The last time I remember easily that happening
00:50was when the Eagles happened to them after a Super Bowl appearance.
00:54And the next year, they also had to flip the coordinators
00:57because they were both so terrible.
00:58Matt Patricia, I think, at some point, was coaching offense.
01:00I don't even know what was going on in Philadelphia there.
01:03So that's difficult. You then have the Jared Goff problem
01:07that people spent the entire season ignoring, which was, hey,
01:11Jared Goff's the Super Bowl favorite.
01:13That's kind of crazy.
01:14And ultimately, we saw how that looked.
01:17And then there's the Dan Campbell end of it.
01:19And we'll find out.
01:21But right now, he screams Tom Thibodeau to me.
01:24For anybody that doesn't know, the Nixon Bulls head coach,
01:27where every year you go, man, if only Tib's guys were healthy.
01:31Yeah, I wonder why they're not.
01:32You know what happened going into this game?
01:34Zeitler wasn't there.
01:35Then they immediately lost another guy.
01:37And you can think, Donnie, that that's bad fortune.
01:39But I think you see it similarly to me.
01:41When you play and probably practice the way that Detroit does,
01:46you're more vulnerable to these type of injuries.
01:47The war of attrition.
01:48When you can play less meaningful games and rest your starters.
01:51And we're not saying that that was why they lost that football game
01:54to Washington, but it's all a part of it.
01:55It's all those pieces together.
01:57The one thing that we were worried about
01:58was once you get to those big football games,
02:00would Dan Campbell actually butt his head in and say,
02:02you know what, this isn't a good play.
02:04We shouldn't have done this.
02:05It didn't really catch up to them yesterday.
02:06They just couldn't play any defense.
02:08And yes, they were injured, but they were still the number one overall seed
02:11favored by close to 10 points during the week,
02:13which came down to around 7.5 to 8 by game time at this point.
02:16That was still a shocking defeat.
02:18Let's understand this.
02:19Detroit really helped Washington win by beating themselves
02:22right out of the gate with turnovers.
