Not to change the subject, but saw the Lions highlights a little bit ago, read the stat lines. It WAS a close game this week, against a team I think most of us would probably label as at least "fairly good", but...do the Lions have some problems? Are they not as good as I supposed they were? Every year I consider them “meh,” which I suppose is better than how the Bears always end the year as “bad.” However, I thought I read over and over in the offseason that they were going to be more run-oriented in 2018, but when I checked the box score today in the middle of the 4th, Johnson and Blount each only had 8 carries. I know the game was 30-13, but it was pretty close for the first half. To not run the ball voluntarily despite paying Blount and using a 2nd round pick on Johnson is inexcusable. We’ve seen year after year that Stafford is a 7, 8 or 9 win QB, and that’s not bad considering the putrid run games he’s had. But now they have capable RB’s, so I’m not sure why they’re leaving it all up to Stafford again. I’ll give Patricia another year or two to get some of “his guys” on that defense, but it’s a troubling start at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I’ve taken the Lions seriously ever since they landed both Calvin Johnson and Stanford, but you must never know what you’re gonna get from that team. They either totally faceplant or they’re boat racing teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9ers are not "fairly good" It was 2 really bad teams. Detroit is one of the 4 teams that look to be in the running for #1 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
