How are the Lions 8-4?

[Detroit Wave]

Stafford has 4 nice weapons with Tate/Jones/Ebron (really coming on) and Riddikk. Quan will get you that 6 on 3rd and 5 too

line has stabilized, Decker helps bring out the power run game and looks solid in pass pro.Reiff and Glasgow also add to the Big 10 mean-ness on the OL. similar to Titans

D has playmakers in Slay/Quin and Levy. Ansah too, not a good year for him but he'll get right eventually. Ngata has been better in his old age than most thought

coverage teams seem good, Prater is a great kicker and they got some slick return guys. its a very solid roster

Levy aint played breh shyts disappointing too cuz he nice af

yea i just saw he been out mostly, Whitehead be around the ball tho

one of the few teams with 3 solid safeties, Rafael Bush is a good rotation DB to mix in with the starting safeties. they can score and force TO's so you never know

Stafford is a motherfukking boss

 

[NigerianDonDada]

I also like the 3 safety look they have with killebrew out there. Bob Quinn hit on every pick this year except the longsnapper

 

[King Poetic]

Because Stafford is spreading the ball around and not trying to throw the ball in double coverage to Calvin

 

[CrimsonTider]

Luck tbh

all there games except for 1 have been 4th quarter comebacks. They could easily be 4-8

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Theyre not phenomenal at anything but are very well balanced, and that wins games in football.

The O Line is still trash but Stafford is getting the ball out faster and having Riddikk & Boldin makes 3rd down so much more manageable. It also helps that Prater is willing to kick a FG from anywhere and we have the trust in him to do it. The defense is a bend but don't break system. We'll give up yards but when it comes down to 3rd down and points, we don't allow teams to convert too many times. This team is going to be fun to watch if it goes to the playoffs.

Spoiler

I'm still scared of the Packers if it comes down to the last game of the season...I be having memories of a certain game.

that week 17 game is gonna be so

 

[CM_Burns]

I said at the beginning of the year this is talent wise a 7-9 team thatll win 9 or 10 games because of their schedule. They have a good passing offense and offensive line, get turnovers despite not having a dominant dline anymore, and have played a pretty easy schedule.

Theyre not as gopd as their record suggests, but the nfc is weak this year anyway, so they might win a home playoff game before losing to dallas or seattle

Well balanced with no run game or defense?

On new years... I'm in

The defense is actually above average, and has been clamping down in 4th quarters. They're much more west coast and efficient and safe and not turning the ball over., which is what the run game is used to do anyway so it works
