Misery Index · Despair
Lions fans roasting Morton's playbook and bracing for a 1-6 start before the calendar even turns.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Green Bay scripted the night on the opening drive — J.Love hitting M.Golden, then D.Wicks, then T.Kraft for the touchdown before Detroit's offense had unpacked. J.Goff's interception by E.Williams at the GB 13 killed the one window to climb back in, and 186 yards through three quarters tells the rest. The Patricia comparisons are premature, but a unit this allergic to throwing downfield in Week 1 is a real problem, not a rust problem.
What fans said
“At least TeSlaa got a TD. Everything LaPorta did also looked good.”

“I could have swallowed a week 1 loss to GB if it wasn’t embarrassing. This however…”

“John Morton's elite playbook: Let's send our relievers long evey play but just throw check downs.”

“Golly I hope it’s just getting the rust off but this is the worst I’ve seen this team look since Matt Patricia was around.”
