Got greedy for sure.

Rock and Maddox were both very underrated and smart pickups.

I mean Gibbs is one of the of the most explosive RBs in the league. He should look better most of the time.

It's only been a year and it was stated when he was first drafted that it would be project so i would assume at least a few years if ever.

That problem isn’t that they expand it. To me the issue is that they are inconsistent at applying whatever their strike zone is.

Another day and another game Tork takes a ball called strike. I bet he can’t wait until next year to challenge those.

Who at the deadline at their play level at the time would’ve you replaced? Who was out there that was an upgrade and what would it have cost? I personally think Harris was in a tough place there to make any changes offensively and decided the best course of action was to ride the horses that built your lead there. Now looking back on it sure should we have made changes, probably. The problem with our offense now isn’t the players that were over performing to their careers. The biggest problem is our better players who would’ve never been replaced anyway simply aren’t performing even at replacement level for over a month now.

Mize is really overthrowing the high fastball.

We’ve got options. They went out and brought in better vets imo this offseason. Branch can come down and fill the slot role if we need to. We’ve been playing a lot of base defense this year which helps since we only use 2 corners in base. I think it really depends on how long Arnold is also out on if we need to make a trade. The biggest key to me is we will need to generate more pressure to help out the less talented CBs.

Browns are very good against the run definitely when you know its coming.

Other then throw a way's almost all of the incompletions are targets to Jamo. Please look somewhere else.

I think he has some bruised ribs. He took a shot and was slow to get up early in the game. Then that was was another body blow.

At least the last 2 years against this team I cant disagree with you. They seem to know exactly how to work him and then pounce.

Seriously? You are honestly blaming the coordinator here…… Unreal.

I will not blame coaches for decisions that are made by players on the field.

One of the best in the league but that was a terrible decision.

I would take McCarthy as a back up to Goff to learn from in a heartbeat. He has great leadership skills and fire to be good. He also is athletic and has very good arm strength. I think he needs a mentor for a few years to hone his throwing mechanics from an accuracy standpoint and decision making.

And 12 at 1-1…..is it that weird as it seems like that would be pretty normal?

This defensive line is terrible so far this year. Don’t stop the run or get to the passer well.

Pretty sure you can just make them redo the kick. The only play was to kick it out the back. The kicker tried and feel short. The big problem was Williams not getting in on his run and also missing a wide open receiver.

Honestly I was thinking it during the preseason but gave the coaching staff the benefit of the doubt. However in light of this game I firmly believe it was a dumb mistake to not have the 3 IOL playing in the preseason. Other places as well but this one really sticks out. I know they talk about how with the joint practices they can get good looks while lowering the risk of injury but I just don’t agree. They looked average/bad the first couple weeks last season as well. Also how did Miami and Houston look this week. Did we really get that good of quality practices in?

Sure that’s is always a factor. The first picture all 4 receivers are on the same level. Not typically a good concept if you are trying to stress a defense. 2nd picture it’s hard to tell it looks like 3 are bunch together so could have been a wrong route or also timing of the play not allowing for separation yet that just hasn’t happened yet in the route pattern. I believe that Greenbay had a great game plan of stopping the run and making Goff go to his check down quickly causing the short throws and they executed it by tackling well.

Don’t forget that we didn’t execute the all important two for one to end and start the half.

A loss is a loss. With a team as talented as the Lions should be, how bad they look and the score doesn’t really matter to me. The stars didn’t forget how to play football they will get it fixed just a matter of how quickly.

Ok you’ve lost me here. This is not a bad team. Do they need to improve and improve quickly, absolutely. Is losing to a highly likely playoff team on the road in game one mean it’s over, absolutely not.
