Aaron Glenn joins the choir, doesn't agree that sky is falling on Lions and their defense: "It's dumb."

As Jared Goff said Tuesday, "I think the mood everywhere else is like the sky’s falling, but the mood internally is fine."

"I refuse, we refuse, to use any of these injuries as an excuse," said Goff.

"We’re 12-2 and the sky is falling. We’re going to the playoffs, we're in the tournament. Why in the hell is the sky falling for us?" said Glenn. "Why do we have to sit back and be sad? ... Our job is to go play football, and that’s what we’re going to continue to do."

Ravaged by losses, Detroit's defense was ripped apart by Josh Allen and the Bills ... to Glenn, it owed mostly to Allen's superhuman ability: "That’s a damn good player, MVP type player that we went against."

"When you go back and watch the film, the passing game was him moving around and just finding guys open, and that’s pretty hard to do as a defense when you have your guys covering for that long against a guy like that," Glenn said. "We had him wrapped up a couple of times, didn’t make the tackle, but our guys understand that."

"We lost two games, we have a chance to win out and accomplish everything that we want to accomplish," said Glenn. "So why should we sit back and wallow and think that the sky is falling? It’s dumb.”

"We’re in Week 16 and I think our stats are better now than they were early in the season. And that has a lot to do with the players," said Glenn. "Our players understand exactly what our play style is ... as an organization that we’re doing things the right way."
