The Detroit Lions entered Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Bucs with nothing left to play for except their pride.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go the home team’s way.
The Bucs walked into Ford Field and would walk out with a 38-17 victory, improving their record to 7-7 while the Lions dropped to 3-10-1.
And as always, there was plenty of fan and media reaction.
SELL. THE. TEAM

BTW: 38-17 TB; #Lions haven’t won a game since October.
Again, I remember the umbrage and indignant attitude when expert predicted 3-13 for the Lions (I had them at 5-11). But wow. If not for that tie in AZ, it would be dead on.

Another week, another loss for the Detroit Lions — seven straight now after a 38-17 loss to Tampa Bay. The good news for Detroit is it is closing in on a Top 5 pick in the 2020 draft. But the play on the field continues to leave a lot more questions… https://t.co/YjoJx4a2CQ

@RodWood_Lions & @Lions management did you watch the same #TBvsDET @NFL game that we did? Matt Patricia looked like he was drowning out there today. A totally pathetic performance. If it isn’t time to #FirePatricia then I’d like to know when it will be #DetroitLions? #OnePride 🏈

Mark Schlereth talking about how stout the Lions are against the run. He’s going on and on how the Lions and 🚀👨🔬 won’t be pushed around.
Of course he didn’t mention the 356 yards through the air for the Bucs.
It’s bad enough the Lions stink, can we stop with the dishonesty?
