Give up late blocked punt, countless (and I mean countless) special teams penalties, fumbled punt return. Great job Bono!

The dude sucks. Always has. But he fails upward just like Dan Enos.

Lions need to get Fleck as their coach. He will change the culture. I can see Fleck hoisting the Vince Lombardy trophy. It will be awesome

Fleck will need to hoist Big Ten West Division, Big Ten championship, and NYD bowl (if not FBS playoff) trophies first before he gets considered for an NFL job.

He is not an 'X 'n O' guru like his contemporaries (McVay et al) who have gotten jobs in The League last couple of years.

And his "shtick" isn't going to work with MEN like it does with 17-21 year olds.

In fact he will probably have to win enough at Minnesota to move to a "bigger" P5 job - and win big there - before his name comes up in NFL circles.

Fleck is a culture/energy guy. If he wasn’t coaching football he’d be making millions heading some multi level marketing companies strategy sessions and quarterly retreats. He gets buy in... and he does it well.

Hate all you want but he sold our program to the community and they responded.

Just sayin.

But as noted... that doesn’t get you NFL gigs.

More of the same today. 3 penalties, missed extra point, and a muffed punt..and there’s still 11 mins to go in the first half. Horrible.

Bono’s unspecial teams stinking it up again...fumbles, penalties (many in less than a half), missed extra point, missed field goal. True to his form, dragging a team down again!

To be fair, they had some of the same problems last season. It looked like the snap was a little off on the missed FG.

Overall, they look poor..

Lions special teams are embarrassing to watch... Bono bringing that Chippewa excellence to the Lions... guy sucks.

The whole team had that "same old Lions" feel until late in the game. Then they inexplicably found a way to win. Not on Bono, or at least, not all on him. I approve of benching Agnew. Guy was becoming a liability. Prater will recover.

It’s the damn penalties! Completely unorganized and un-disciplined... special teams was basically flag day!

Can they not hold and/or block in the back on every punt return?
I blame the missed XP and FG on Prater’s godawful football shorts. Those things are cut 6” above the knees. It looks like he picked up his uniform from the Meijer kids dept. It’s that or the swirling wind inside Ford Field?

12 on the field on FG attempt gives the Pack 1st and goal which led to a TD. How do you not know who’s supposed to be out there?

Bono is gone after this year, if not sooner. He’s horrible.

Where’s Stan Kwan when you need him!

They had a nearly 6 minute Packers drive to set up for 1 play and he couldn’t get his personnel straight?

Agnew let the ball hit the ground and roll 10 yds behind him on what should’ve been an easy fair catch?

Worst coaching mistake possible.

That alone is a fireable offense.
