This isn't about the Lions game,it is about a trend. Last year we got physically slapped around by the Ravens, Seattle and the 49ers.
Why?
Because they physically imposed their will on us.
Now we have to face the facts, it will be happening again this year.
Last year in many of the games that the Ravens, Seahawks, and 49ers lost, I am sure that they were physically manhandled too. When you get way down and begin to take chances, then the other team can tee off on you.
I think we are built to win the lines of scrimmage. Not every time, but more often than not.
One issue I had was the need to have receivers who can be effective despite drawing not-called contact. I think we have addressed this in the long term with bigger receivers, though it may be awhile before they add the strength they need to the size they already have.
