Motown Bombers

Not bad.

Really? You don't see where the next win comes? There's the Panthers, Jaguars, Bears x2 that are all winnable games. I'm also not as high on the Giants and Jets as others either. The only game remaining on the schedule that I see that is an automatic loss right now are the Bills.

Aaron Rodgers is basically Jared Goff and I'm not even joking. They both are having very similar seasons so far this year.

I think it's also worth noting, in the Miami game, that the Lions only got three offensive possessions. One drive had 20 yards of penalties that killed it, another got a sack, another a turnover on downs. The other two games they didn't score a TD in the first half either. Teams go through these stretches. The Vikings did. The Bills yesterday scored 27 points but only 3 in the 2nd half. It happens. At the end of the day, the Lions scored 27 points. That should be enough to win most games. I guess some people would feel better if 14 of those points came in the second half when they are down only to lose.

The Lions have only won the coin toss once and received in the 2nd half once. I wonder what affect that has on 1st and 2nd half scoring?

The Vikings average 11.0 PPG in the second half and the Lions 10.7 PPG in the second half which is more than the Eagles and Dolphins for example.

Over halfway through the 3rd quarter and the defending AFC Champs haven't scored a point.

The 6-1 first place Vikings have scored 173 points, tied for most in the division with the Lions. The Vikings have given up 144 points. The Lions 225. 80 more points given up over 7 games. That's over 11 more points per game. Me thinks it's the defense.

A team with actual talent. Keep in mind the Lions started this season with the second youngest roster in the league. This is an inexperienced team that's playing a lot of fringe talent.

You also wanted to draft Connor Cook. It was more about Stafford hating.

You were mocked because Tua is not as good as Stafford. The Lions had a franchise QB who made players around him better. Tua is Goff. He's good enough to win with talent around him.

Funny how QBs look better when you put talent around them.

But he inherited a much better team. This would be more comparable to when Patricia was hired.

Point was sometimes bad teams have one off good seasons under a new coach and revert back to being who we thought they were.

Miami won 9 games last year and spent a ton of capital acquiring Hill so I'm not sure why McDaniel is being mentioned.

My guess is the unnamed is Swalwell

Jim Caldwell inherited a 7-9 Lions team and went 11-5 and made the playoffs. They proceeded to start the following season 1-7. As Rasheed Wallace once said, sometimes the sun shines on a dog's ass once in a while.

God I can't wait until the Giants and Jets come back to reality. It may have already started with the clunkers they put up.

Anzalone: You are correct, he was never good. Oruwariye: He really never was good, but he had a lot of interceptions last year. Harris: Was a 1st round bust and had one good year. I guess the coaching staff doesn't get credit for the one and only good year he had Elliot: He has a 65 PFF grade. In 2021 he was a 65 and in 2020 a 66 and in 2019 69 in limited snaps. Not seeing the regression. Barnes: Is actually better this year but still awful. Brockers: Is old and washed up. Probably also benefited playing along side Donald. Harris: See Anzalone

Lets not forget they got Okudah back who was the 3rd overall pick and playing well. Holmes also drafted Joseph who has showed promise in the secondary.

And they addressed the defense with their first pick. I still love the Williams pick.
