Yeah, keep telling me how ESB is going to be a force this year. Enough already with this guy. We need someone who can be on the field on Sundays.
#Lions fans love to bring up Detroit's record against the #Packers in 2017-2018, but there's only one win against an Aaron Rodgers team in that span.

Going 3-0 against Brett Hundley and DeShone Kizer is hardly something to celebrate.
An inconvenient fact for the Lion fans.
"Well get that corrected" Mike McCarthyism that, well, applies:

The Packers lead the league with 7 drops to start the season. Not good.

MVS did the same thing on a similar route the previous week.
Put em in front of that jug machine for 2/3 hours a day. That'll get rid of those damn drops. Ugh....... Practice, practice, practice. 
Obviously need to clean it up, but thankfully the offense is functioning at such a high level that it really didn't matter that much overall.
LaFleur made a repeated point in the off season about the lack of 'chunk' plays last year. It looks like these guys are trying to get what the coach wants. Defenders are so fast in the NFL that the guys who CAN make a catch without looking the ball all the way to their hands have a distinct advantage.
I don't know if you can teach soft hands, though. Make the catch and take what you can get.

Yeah, it would really suck to have a play like that late in a game that's tied or we are behind by less than a TD. Or even worse a game ending play like the Lions week 1.
Catch the ball -- that's what you're paid to do.
You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you run with the ball. Sometimes you are tackled, sometimes you score. It's a simple game.
One last observation from Sunday's game.
Accounts of MVS' upside always mention his speed as the unique asset that makes his potential worth waiting for. So how does he get caught from behind on that long sideline play?
Optical illusion.
Just because he is fast doesn't mean he is the fastest.
Because he is tip toeing the sideline, not in full spring mode.
Fake tackle.
