teude Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Unlucky that Cowgirls got the last drive, that defence just isn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 We listened in the car on the way back from Milwaukee and once we scored, everyone in the car knew exactly how it was going to play out. And it did, exactly as we called it. Oh well, closer to an elite D lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardlionfan Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Yikes, 1-3 with Green Bay up next. I’m really not sure what to think of that game. It seems so typical a loss for the team. Ansah didn’t play again. I’m so glad Quinn didn’t give him a big money long term deal. I hope Lang is okay. Concussions are terrifying and he got popped. Johnson continues to look good. Luke Wilson can block. Detroits front 7 got owned by the Cowboys. Elliott rocked em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both look like they have great futures in the league. I am still shocked we don't give it to Johnson more. He breaks off a 32 yard run to start the game and sees like 8 more touches the rest of the game. Its like as soon as we have a run that goes for 1 or no yards, JBC gets scared to run again and gives up on it. Stafford is what, 8-0 when he has a RB that rushes for 100 yards? Why do we not try to run more, especially with our D that is terribad and needs less time on the field? Overall though, the D did get a strip sack when it was needed, unfortunately it bounced right back to Dak. We had chances, but in typical Lions fashion we get what seems to be unfair treatment by the refs, we get bounces that don't go our way, and we just get let down.

They both look good. This team desperately needs defensive linemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyguy1609 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 how come we don't give Johnson the ball more, we did trade up in the draft for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimbaWho Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Do you guys actually think the Lions will draft or sign linemen/pass rushers? Haha... Seriously though, not a terrible game by the offense but man, Lions need D-linemen, and pass rushers. They got a bit of a rush at times but a consistent threat on the outside makes things so much better/easier for the other players. Tough road ahead for sure, Mock draft scouting central time again for sure for the Lions. At least they're becoming interesting slightly, What I saw the Jets game had me almost in a heart attack.

I agree, after the Jets game I locked us in for a top 3 pick, which is still possible but I feel we aren't top 3 bad. We have a lot in place and even if we lose Tate, I feel like we have a solid start on offense. I am pretty sure that any and everyone can see we need D lineman. Both to stop the run and get pressure. I do think it will happen given the elite talent coming out this year. If we don't Quin should be fired on the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see you not winning 5 or 6 games. Ton of winnable games left. Good luck this week, I've always liked the Lions the most out of the other NFC North teams! Hopefully TJ is okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be shocked seeing us finish anywhere from 3-13 to 9-7. I am leaning closer to the 4-12 you are predicting but if we ever realize that running the ball with your best RB makes sense, we may be able to hide our D long enough for them to get us a win here and there. I am guessing we end at 6-10 but like I said, nothing would surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that probably puts around pick 4 and out of the way of Oliver but I haven't wanted a good on the Lions so bad since Patrick Peterson (thanks AZ for turning down the trade u bums). That guy is going to be a difference maker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
