Also Morgan looked wore out, out of breath on some fo those false starts. It seemed as if he was not in physical condition for long drives in that weather against a physical opponents.


And some of the other penalties were the backups as well.

And again, first road game of the year. More mistakes are likely on the first road game. Don't mean to excuse them, just saying they're more likely. Even so, there were too many, especially on offense. They weren't ready to play against a great defense, and Browns might sick overall, but they got a great defense.



Also, I'm not saying you have to like him, but you have to respect Jim Schwartz, he's always gotten his defenses to play well. And while it was only one year, he got the Lions to 10-6.
