Dallas has professionals to. Their offense is good and the defense has played pretty good tonight i think.

Thanks for finding that as its what I needed to see. Cant really blame Goff for protecting the FG.

Seemed like Goff had the clock is in mind and threw it early and safe for atleast a FG. Id love to see a full field angle for the timing of when he actually let go of the ball.

I agree that's ridiculous.....it just doesn't surprise me that we have more defensively then we get on offense based on how we play on both sides.

Goff does not throw a lot of 50/50 or deep balls which is where the majority of the PI penalty are called. Are receivers are also excellent at getting separation its not a surprise to me that we don't see as many. Defensively we play the most man to man defense in the league which is going to get more called against you.

I agree but still your throwing to a lineman who probably doesnt really know the check calls much.

That was on Goff he stupidly checked to it. Looked like it was going to be in insert block with skipper as he was not ready.

One would need to play 3rd part time at the very least as well and atleast Torres has been on record not wanted to play 3rd. I think that shipped sailed when Torres accepted in QO.

Meadows because of his elite defense is going to get all the chances he needs until Clark is ready. You can use Vierling, Perez, Baez and others there if need be but I’d be very surprised if that was a position they’d make a move at. Position player wise you can make an argument for a 3rd baseman although with Torres returning room is tight so it has to be a high level player and then it comes down to will they pay for that. Maybe a right handed corner outfielder as I think that could be cheaper and help balance out the lineup.

I would be surprised if we are aggressive in FA at all in the position player market. They are going to have some tough decisions to make already and adding a high priced player here makes that even more glaring. I could see us waiting and potentially taking on a 1 year prove it contract for someone who isn’t getting the deal they want but that’s about it. Pitching is where I see any spent money going this offseason again atleast early on. Where I see some tweaking being done is thru trades. Players of ours that that are getting into the arb years and blocking prospects or prospects that have fallen off being flipped for system depth and lottery ticket type players that have 1-2 really good tools but need development. I see a potential issue is pitching depth in our system right now so that’s where I’d be looking to add.

59.3 or 28/38 of graded centers overall 59.8 or 21/38 pass block 58.6 or 33/38 run block Basically he is not even playing at a replacement level. I would be shocked if he is on next year’s roster.

If the defense didn’t hold, which it didn’t and we had 4 minutes left like we should have GreenBay likely punts on that 4th down or has to get atleast another 1st down or two to run time out which is a much larger margin of error. My point still stands that he mismanaged the final two times we had the ball but again this is in my opinion.

They drafted 2 olineman this year and 2 last year. They also signed a DT and resigned multiple DLineman last year. You can disagree with their choices but not addressing it is a wrong take. I will say 2 things to your point, that relying on Davenport to supply pressure opposite of Hutch was stupid and relying on Glasgow for anything other than a backup veteran presence was also dumb. However, I believe they didn’t know Ragnow was retiring because he has hinted at that in multiple off seasons and Glasgow would’ve been the backup at all 3 interior positions.

I don’t believe there is a win now mode in the NFL. Holmes and Campbell want to be in win forever mode. This is a foreign concept to Lions fans so wanting to be all in makes sense. I am much more interested in being an organization that has an opportunity every season, even if they start to look like they're falling out of the running like right now, are still playing winning football overall.

Goff has no skills that are likely to decline much with age at least in the near term. His decline in play recently has nothing to do with his skills declining and everything to do with his athletic limitations specifically with handling middle pressure. He is a surgeon and extremely smart when given time. I am sure the organization has seen this and will address it when they can this offseason.
