Some quick thoughts on the Lions game | Page 2

Some quick thoughts on yesterday's WIN. A win is a win and it's tough to win these days in the NFL. Pretty frustrating game though, I thought we had control of this game and would win it comfortably when we were up in 30-13 but instead almost lost this game. Jimmy G; I'm super tough on him I know. He had some miscues and also his receivers did not help him much yesterday (more on that below) but still he has to play better if he is our $130 mill franchise QB. Our Running game ; Wow the some running scheme is a thing of beauty when it is clicking. Breida had that real nice big TD run (wow the blocking downfield by Garcon) and had a few other nice runs. Morris was real solid as well. A pretty solid 1-2 punch FOR NOW. Our Receivers- we really missed Goodwin and Pettis laid an egg. Garcon is still okay but man he's lost a step he couldn't afford to lose. I think we should kick the tires on JOSH GORDON. Sabatino Nuzzi IV I was wrong. George Kittle is solid but he is not the #1 tight end for this offense I fear. Man was our defense inconsistent yesterday. Sherman had another strong game (did he allow a catch???) Buckner is a stud. Really solid game by my guy Elijah Lee... Whiterspoon had a ROUGH game. Ouch! Colbert also had a poor showing . Our pass rush....well what pass rush. Kudos to DJ Reed & Mostart on special teams. Ugly win but we got it. Now off to KC to face the leagues hottest QB Pat Mahomes....

Adrian Colbert has been pretty quiet so far this year. He was all over the field when he played last year.

Who cares. Marvin doesn't have precedence over everyone. He's just a normal poster.

And lol at your "ban" emoji. For reals, man?

They definitely got away with one against the Lions. If they don't get it together things could get ugly next week against Kansas City. Stafford missed 3 or 4 throws that would have changed the outcome of the game. With the way Mahomes is playing they had better not give him the same opportunities. Kudos for Shanahan though for calling out the team afterward and reminding them that not all wins are equal.

I was hoping that the team might find a way to scheme more pressure with their defensive front. So far that hasn't been the case. If they don't find a pass rush against KC Mahomes will light them up.

They still seem out of sync offensively. Garappollo is just missing on a lot of the throws he seemed to make last year. Drops aren't helping. I like Kittle a lot but he needs to spend some more time with the jugs machine or something so that he can cut down on those missed opportunities. He had another one last night on a quick throw that went off his hands.

After a big game last week Warner seemed to be MIA this week. Hopefully with Foster back next week and perhaps with Smith finally able to go we will get to see how this Line backing corps is going to play. It's a win so you are glad to take it but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Pettis also would have had a huge 3rd down conversion in the redzone if Jimmy didnt inaccurately throw behind him on the route.

Sorry for highlighting this part of your generally good post.

Pettis should have caught that ball in the end zone. It's the NFL gotta make catches even if they're not pin point accurate all the time.

I think Kittle is legit when he's not dropping passes, he seems to always get open

PISS POOR TACKLING...by everyone.

They would have won by 20 pts if they actually made half of their tackles on first contact.

I don't think Jimmy G is comfortable yet this year... I think he feels the pressure of being the savior Jimmy Gesus and living up to his huge contract... not sure what it will take but it will be magical once he feels comfortable just taking what the game gives him and not trying to force things...

I agree, once he settles and stops trying to force things, it will be great I don't kno about magical though lol
