i doubt the lions look past anyone, they're just not a good team and their best players are hurt. they already had a terrible secondary and then two of their three starting corners got injured. they had a decent d line and then okwara and flowers are injured. hey, remember deshawn hand? yeah, me neither.
jaime collins sucked and then quit trying. barnes might be a nice player, but he's not very good right now. jalen reeves maybin might be their best linebacker and he's a career special teamer.
not only are they untalented, the good players they do have are hurt. its going to be a long season for them.
it was disappointing in that they got worked by a terrible offense with a bad qb, but when you have zero pressure on an nfl qb against the worst secondary in the league, youre gonna lose.
mcneill and onzuwurike have been disappointments to me. no pressure from them at all.
