To say Detroit Lions fans were disappointed with their team's performance on Saturday night against the Washington Commanders is an understatement. Fans really had their sites set on a Super Bowl appearance.
Many are very bummed.
Here are some comments from our readers on Facebook regarding the season-ending 45-31 loss.
Craig Woolson
An underwhelming performance by the Lions last night. They’ll be back.
Tom Vargo
As a Steelers fan looking in the Lion's window is still wide open. I have never seen a team get decimated by injuries on defense so bad ever. The Lions have the pieces to win Super Bowls. They will be back
Eric Dixon
How many "bad" games can this guy have before we realize that he's not the one? This team needed him to step up more than ever tonight and prove his veteran leadership and give our busted up D some comfort and couldn't get it done! I'm a forever fan! This fucking hurts.
Daniel McCreedy
The number of injuries on defense forced Goff into playing catch-up football which is often rife with mistakes. The whole demise was caused by those injuries.
James Jackson
Before real Golf need to go nothing about injuries of losing this game. Nothing but golf.
Dennis Kimble
The injuries caught up with them.
Craig Woolson
An underwhelming performance by the Lions last night. They’ll be back.

Maintaining lionfan status I am (hearts)
Mike Rotunno
Their D finally caught up with them. The offense knew it had to score practically on every play and Quinn knew it too.
Sean Wood
Lions suck.
Tim Allen
Laid a giant fu@king turd.
Harmon Ising
Only Gibbs showed up to play.
Penny Suris
Really unfortunate.
Alan Tanabe
No sugarcoating it. That was just pathetic tonight.
Mark Williams
Pathetic.
Pamela Leeds Douglas
Too many Turnovers and $$$$Refs again.
