Detroit Lions: 2025

Interesting stuff here about Campbell as a play caller one game in.

When Dan’s head coaching career is done he will be in demand as the next hot OC prospect.

Speaking of silly stances. The Eagles sure did make a mistake on the Phillips trade! Morons! Cost them one loss already.

 

Nah, that’s feels gross. Honestly, you can’t take most of these decisions out of context and immediately after they are made and start grandstanding. Unless it’s the Watson trade.

Josh Sweat has almost three times as many sacks as Phillips. Just think if the Eagles just retained their own players. Instead, they spent a draft pick for a worse player but at least they made a trade.

Seems that maybe Amon-Ra wasn't so innocent after all.

Deserved a personal foul. I don't think it was actually a punch though. He'll probably get fined, I doubt he gets suspended though.

That was an open-hand slap after being shoved by Payne. If you wanna flag him for that, cool, but trying to act like it was a "punch" is dumb, and trying to equate it to the actual haymaker Payne threw is 200-proof cope.

Amazing that the team is #2 in PPG after half a season filled with what feels like lackluster offensive play.

The 3rd down offense is the real indictment on Morton for me. It's as if we would get into a 3/6 or longer and retreat into the shell, often with a draw or a low-percentage screen, just living to fight another series. IIRC we were the last team in the NFL to convert a 3/10 or longer this season. With the talent we have available, that's absurd.

We are way too talented on offense to ever get conservative. You've got guys like ASB, Jamo, Gibbs, and LaPorta who can get wide open ten yards down the field any time the ball is snapped. There is no excuse for not pressing the issue in a competitive game.

For all the talk about the Eagles defense, the Lions defense is better than the Eagles in almost every category. The one major difference is red zone defense.

Look at those redzone numbers. Seems like the key for the Lions is to keep them out, because once they are in the redzone we are toast.

 

Maybe a secondary is getting them into 3rd downs.
