Like you just can't put up a game like that with the season on the line. Insane.
They just didn't have it this year. It was obvious it wasn't meant to be. They haven't beat a quality team all year other than The Bears who were finding themselves at the time with a new coach.

Brodric Martin
Coby Sorsdal
Sione Vaki
Giovanni Manu
Isaac TeSlaa

Five developmental players, multiple picks burned to acquire them. And only one (TeSlaa) looks like he has any real value. I like Vaki but trading up for a special teams player never made sense.

If the “culture” is as strong as advertised you shouldn’t need to desperately reach for culture fits. We basically ceded the ability to build more depth in the draft to curate a roster instead of taking BPA. End result? No young drafted safeties, tight ends, centers, edge rushers or tackles on the roster.

It’s criminal to have Gibbs back there with a got damn statue. Id go for it all and knock on baltimores door for Lamar. Couple years late but better late than never.
The Lions are stuck with Goff. If they address the defensive depth and O-Line Goff won't be an issue. He's competent enough to be the QB of a team that wins a Super Bowl. He will just put up a real stinker at some point like today but as of late the run game has been DOA so they've had to lean on him.

Lions need to take a step back to go forward honestly. They do not need to go all in like I previously wanted. Oline needs complete overhaul. Sewell needs to move to LT. Ratledge to C and figure it out from there. Would not pencil Mahogany as a starter. Move on from Decker. They shouldn’t restructure Goff contract to create monster cap space this season. It locks Goff to franchise until 2029 at high cap number. Take the hit and leave yourself with option to pivot to cheaper QB with more upside soon. Goff statue ass makes every Oline flaw more glaring. The defense was terrible down stretch but offense continues to be reason why we lose games. Any decent defense shuts them down. They lead league in scoring because they ran up score on bad teams

They have to get experienced offensive coordinator. Morton and Shepperd being hired together was a disaster.

Actually think defense is in better shape going into next year. Get a pure pass rusher opposite Hutch. Alim should be better and Tyleik should improve. Get a young replacement for Anzalone. And acquiring decent safeties is one of the easiest positions to fill in FAs. Always good one available. Hope Rakestaw and Arnold are healthy

They got absolutely decimated by injuries again this season. I don't know if it's their practice/training habits, the field turf at Ford Field or just bad luck but it seems like something needs to change.
