00:00 John what a devastating defeat for the Lions on Saturday night in Dallas. What do you make of that loss for Detroit?
00:07 Yeah, Vito opportunity for the Lions that many I think would have said man
00:13 The Lions went into Dallas and had an opportunity to play an NFC contender and and win a game
00:18 I thought the Lions defensive effort was really high quality. Yes CD lamb was able to
00:25 Secure over 200 yards receiving but you look at it a team in the Dallas Cowboys that was averaging
00:31 Well over 35 points at home was only limited to 20 points and you recognize that the Lions did not play their cleanest game
00:39 Obviously Jared golf with a couple turnovers. The run game was inconsistent
00:43 Jared golf was facing a ton of pressure, but the Lions competed they were in the game
00:48 They marched down the field and were able to score a touchdown
00:51 Which obviously led everybody to believe prior to the drive starting that Dan Campbell was gonna go for it to win the game
00:58 The Lions go and execute a really stellar play to Taylor Decker in the end zone
01:04 reporting is eligible only to have flags being thrown by the officials chaos and
01:11 unfortunately Vito a
01:13 great game in my opinion was marred by the officials when the officials become part of the story and
01:20 Quite frankly a huge part of the story of this game
01:23 That should never ever be the case and for the Detroit Lions
01:27 It just was very very unfortunate that they end up on the wrong side of the scoreboard
01:32 It was a one-point loss to the Dallas Cowboys
01:35 It has ramifications for the postseason in regards to the fact that the Lions can no longer be the number one seed
01:42 It most likely will end up being the Lions being the three seed
01:46 But you know Vito there's still a lot that the Lions can take away
01:49 Maybe even use the controversy as motivation as they head into the postseason
01:55 But for the football team on the field, they got a lot to clean up in the run game offensively Jared Goff
02:01 protecting the football and defensively limiting explosive plays to top receivers definitely has to be corrected over the next seven days because
02:09 Upcoming Vito the Lions are gonna host a home playoff game
02:14 John, thanks for all the time.
