Offense is completely broken. This is what happened to Philly a few years ago when they had those trash coordinators

Pathetic loss. The inability to adjust to those LB blitzes is inexcusable for a team that's supposed to compete for a chip. And nothing Campbell said we needed to improve after the bye - 3rd down offense or defense - was improved. Just a disaster.

At least GB lost but man. This was a very winnable game and we got bullied.

Im done talking shyt all year. Humbling ass loss. Offense is trash without elite oline play. Goff reverts back to his Rams self that got him traded. Morton has zero creativity. Players disappear too often. They couldn’t get Gibbs the ball once in space today. Tim Parrick was big part of offense last year but his replacement Teslaa is invisible. Amon RA has a bunch of drops this year. If Mahogany out for long period they are in trouble

Call this a trap game all week. We know they blitz the most in the NFL and had 0 answer or punishment for it. Just bad all around.

Everything still has to be perfect for him to succeed. He’s been very spoiled with elite talent majority of his career. He killed the Vikings blitz when he had Ragnow and Zeitler upfront

This. I don't want to hear a damn thing about MVP campaigns, Detroit media nerds can drop that shyt. He's really good when he has really good protection. Anything less and it's an issue. Which is why I'm starting to think the playoffs are gonna be ugly again. We've been saying the Lions were the Flores killers but it looks like it was Ragnow. Big priority next year has to be getting Glasgow outtahere. Likely means moving Ratledge to center.

And Morton...we literally watched this team let LBs blitz the same gap over and over and didn't adjust until late in the 3rd quarter. And I don't want to hear any tough guy bullshyt from Campbell about how guys need to just win their reps. RBs that deep in the backfield aren't going to consistently stop a LB running down field. Gibbs/Monty should have been closer to the line, or we should have had TEs back there.

Tied with Bears for second place :beli:

I would like to apologize to Ben Johnson. I was his biggest critic because he was too cute with his playcalling but he is a great playcaller. Morton is terrible

GB loss and looks like Krafts injury is serious.

JJ McCarthy look like he can actually play :lupe:
If he can develop some touch he can be really good

Lions really need to get another developmental QB. Hooker did not workout but he was an old ass college player in the a funky offense that is hard to translate to NFL. They cannot pay Goff again with his physical limitations. He makes the oline job so much harder. Only a handful of starting QBs that arent mobile

JJ is garbage and they definitely didn't win that game because of him

As much as yall ripped apart Ben Johnson never thought I'd see the day people praise him.

Goof has a few duds every year and everyone jumps off the bridge afterwards. He'll be fine.

Nobody should have expected this season to be as magical as 2024.

The oline is not fine. Mahogany out a while. Decker, Sewell, Ratledge all banged up. Glasgow is washed. Its On tape they can’t handle the blitz right now. The offense is in trouble
