Motown Bombers

Honestly, I don’t think Robertson and Ya Sin are that bad as your starting corners. Reed will be back. Just need to hold the fort down these next couple games.

Remember last year against the Packers when they ran in 4th and short to bleed the clock and then kick the FG? He told the team the offense was going to need to win this one and would be unfair to put it on the defense with all the injuries.

Arnold was actually good in this game against one of the best receivers in the league. The Lions defense has been better with him in the field than off.

Barkley is only averaging 3.2 YPC. The Eagles receivers are openly complaining. The offense is not good. They needed a blocked FG to beat a Rams team who hasn’t beaten anyone, and they almost blew it against Tampa. I mean if we are going to say the Lions were sloppy on a 24 point win and solid after hanging 52, do the same with the Eagles.

The Lions beat a Browns team by 24 points that beat the Packers the week before and that was sloppy and hanging 52 points on the Bears is solid. The Eagles, who had to beat the Rams on a field goal block, are the team to beat.

The Eagles don’t pass the eye test. They can’t run the ball with Barkley and they can’t pass. They had no business beating a Rams team who just lost to a depleted 49ers team.

The Eagles offense is not good. Barkley is only averaging 3.2 yards per carry, they are 31st in passing yards and 25th in rushing yards per game. Their receivers are not happy. This Eagles team looks the one from two years ago that went 10-1 and then finished the season 1-5 and lost in the playoffs.

I think the Lions are in some ways ok with the penalties. They want to be physical and naturally there will be penalties they will have to live with.

You're the one getting all bent out of shape with me for some reason. I think the fragile one is you.

I'm not looking for anything from you. You replied to me. Use the ****ing ignore button if it's that bad for you. I don't give a ****.

Not sure what rock you have been under, but the coaching brain drain from the Lions was a thing all off season by fans and media a like. The Packers game was the proof. I mean, if the Lions weren't written off there wouldn't be so many articles now about how they are back. I'm not being retroactively rosy. I was the only one here on this forum who supported Goff from the day the trade happened. I was literally harassed for like two years by KL2 because of it. Sorry, but I'm taking my victory lap now.

I’m old enough to remember when his success was only because of McVay and Todd Gurley.

A lot of people were writing the Lions off because they lost Ben Johnson and that Packers game was proof.

39-10 now with the Bengals win, but that loss against the Packers was who they are and not the nearly 50 game sample.
