Motown Bombers

Goff was also one of the best deep passers in the league this year. Jared Goff is one of the NFL's best deep ball passers in 2023 - A to Z Sports

Don't change the goalposts because you are wrong on this. The title of your video is literally "Reynolds drops fourth-down throw.." You can literally freeze frame the throw and see the lineman start to swipe as Goff lets go of the throw. Even if he isn't, he risks throwing the ball at the head of the lineman. McVay literally lost to Goff in the playoffs. 🤣

He avoided pressure, created a throwing lane, and hit his receiver on the hands. Just stop with this.

You can literally see in that replay Goff had to through it outside or it would have been deflected by the lineman. I'm glad you posted that because I didn't realize how close the lineman came to batting that ball.

If Reynolds doesn't drop two passes and a deep TD pass doesn't go through Williams hands, this is a much different game. They were also going against one of the best defenses in the league and scored 31 points despite all the drops.

The 49ers pass defense is really good. Among the best in the league good.

Goff should have threw the ball off the defender's facemask for a 50 yard gain.

Speaking of having his worst game when it matters most, did you watch the AFC Championship game? bUt JaCkSoN rUnS fAsT.

The Lions scored 31 points and the issue is the QB.

Not surprised to see people turning on Goff again.

Why can't the Lions be the 90's Cowboys who the Lions blew out in the playoffs?

The 90's Lions never had a QB. Goff would be better than any QB the Lions had that decade. Also, the Lions were clearly not in the same class as Washington that year. This Lions team showed they are right there with the best in the NFC.

To be honest I thought the first one would be the one to kick the FG. You're up 14 so a FG makes it a 3 score game. The 2nd one they are down 3 but have shown no ability to stop the 49ers. The 49ers proceeded to just march down the field with ease and get a TD. The Lions needed a TD there.

I think they also owe Jacksonville a 7th in 2025 for Patterson. They also get a 4th from Philadelphia for Swift.

What I like is the media criticizing McVay for kicking FGs instead of going for it on 4th down and turning around and criticizing Campbell for going for it instead of kicking FGs.

I don't expect the Lions to be aggressive in signing big time free agents. That doesn't seem to be their philosophy. Build through the draft and supplement through free agency. I would sign someone like Stephon Gillmore. He's old but still producing. One year contract while you draft and develop a young corner. I would even bring back Moseley. Non guaranteed contract and bring him to training camp and see if he can earn a spot. CJGJ, Branch and Melifonwu are all redundant. I probably wouldn't bring back CJGJ unless he comes on a cheap prove it deal. The Lions can save at least $5 million in cap space if they cut Walker so I think he's gone. Your starting safeties would be Melifonwu and Joseph with Branch as the hybrid.

They're also top 10 in cap space and can gain even more depending on they work their extensions.

They literally have all their picks except a 4th which was traded for a 3rd giving them two 3rds.

Minnesota got a Bengals team with an injured Burrow and the Lions got the Ravens. I also don't know there would be much difference between getting the Cowboys like the Lions got or the Eagles when the Vikings played them. The Vikings also got the 49ers during their 3 game losing streak when they were dealing with injuries. The Lions got Seattle who always has their number. I don't think the Vikings had a tougher schedule.

I mean, wasn't the Lions schedule harder this year than last year? Last year they had a 4th place schedule and then went to a 2nd place schedule.

It's very possible they don't get here next year. What I do know is that this is a good young team with good people running it. if they don't get back next year, than maybe the next year. The window is open for the next several years.

Weren't the Lions supposed to have this target this year after finishing 8-2 and coming in as division favorites?

This really feels like the 2006 Tigers. Didn't expect to be there but once they go there they faced an 83 win team and blew it with a comedy of errors from the pitcher.

You can tell Goff was expecting him to go the other way. At that point the play is broken so maybe it's best for Goff to just tuck it down and run with it. Gibbs fumbled at least once against Minnesota.
