This defense takes away a lot of balls.

Massive loss by SF for playoff seeding.

Don’t look now, but the Browns may knock off the 49ers.

I want to see this Bears-Vikings game end 12-11. Don’t care who wins.

McVay had a pretty good PR narrative going for himself. Then when he melted down with Goff and again with the post-Super Bowl crash the media started to recognize he is an egomaniac had poisoned relationships with many of his coaches and players.

According to this article the play came from David Blough who ran it at Purdue. Take that Blough haters! https://lionswire.usatoday.com/2023/10/11/detroit-lions-film-review-diverse-offense-keeps-panthers-guessing/

Tampa Bay with just 20 explosive plays (through four games). Detroit is averaging almost double the number of explosive plays per game. Baker will have to take risks to keep up with Detroit’s offense. (Miami is way out ahead of the pack.)

Sure Tampa Bay is 3-1 but they’ve beaten a terrible team in Chicago, two mediocre teams in Minnesota and NO, and lost to the Iggles. Hats off to them, they haven’t beaten themselves. But they also haven’t beaten anybody good.

To them, I say, this staff really loves them some David Montgomery. He had more receiving targets against Carolina (six) than any WR.

WR usage versus Carolina: Marvin Jones – 35 snaps, two targets, two receptions Kalif Raymond – 29 snaps, three targets, three receptions Jameson Williams – 28 snaps, three targets, two receptions Josh Reynolds – 28 snaps, five targets, four receptions Antoine Green – 11 snaps, no targets, no receptions Dylan Drummond – 5 snaps, no targets, no receptions What is with the hyperventilating on Jameson Williams now?

I’m beginning to think Jordan Love is not a good QB.

Also Brock Purdy. Literally every team could have picked him multiple times. And he is now the front runner for NFL MVP.

Imagine Stafford finally starting a playoff game in Detroit. As the visiting QB.

Some teams just don't match up well with other teams. Look at Baltimore getting punked again by Kenny Pickett-sburgh. Detroit doesn't match up well with Seattle. Who can cover Metcalf? And if you double him, who can cover Lockett? They have good players at every skill position. But it was encouraging yesterday to see the DL maintain their gaps. Campbell got on them about this after the Seattle game, when they kept letting Geno Smith slip away. And if we end up playing Seattle again in the playoffs, I'll be surprised if we turn the ball over three times again.

I’m sure you are right that SF didn’t draw it up tonight on the sideline. Would they have run it if it failed for Detroit earlier? I’m guessing not.

SF just scored on the exact same double reverse flea flicker that Detroit did earlier today, right down to the Iowa TE.

That double flea flicker… such a joke of a play. If they had done three more tosses LaPorta would have been way more open.

Salt in the wound. And Carolina has to come back out for the second half.

This game is brutal.

Was that Jaymo throwing a key block on the 42 yard TD run?

Any given Thursday.

This is the NFL. Everyone is getting paid. Other players haven’t had the same impact against the Giants that Witherspoon had last night. He got that dawg in him. Hats off.

I dislike the product of Thursday night football, but I love watching the Lions in prime time. I’m usually focused on something else in that 4:30 window I feel like Thursday football should be a treat, maybe not just for Thanksgiving, but not every week.

I like Brian Branch but that Devon Witherspoon is a player.

I want to see two things from Jaymo. A receiving TD and a rushing TD.
