GAME DAY Week 4 - The Early Games

[Mojo Ram]

McVay would take a 50 yard safety here

 

[SteezyEndo]

IMHO - he is better than Trubisky, Ryan, (right now) Mayfield, Wentz, Carr (right now), Houston QB, Jones, Gino, Crapola, Fields, Jets QB and probably a couple more that I can't think of right now

He definitely has longevity and always seems to be healthy. His QB accumen could or should be better by now for sure. In todays league though its better to be rated a top 10 or below. Anything over that its pointless because it comes down to the consistency to win games every week.

Fucking trash D...

 

[snackdaddy]

Yup, I see why Detroit went for the onsides with 3 timeouts. Defense was not gonna hold them. 3rd and 5 and they give up the first down to seal it.

 

[Alaskan Ram]

Fucking trash D...

Poor Goff. Dude deserves better.

EDIT:
45 fuckin points and they still lost.

 

[Tano]

Wow, 3 timeouts left a field goal would tie it. They really don't trust that defense to hold them from a first down. A failed onsides kick. With 3 timeouts the smart call is to kick it off. But I guess with that defense the onsides risk is higher percentage.

The defense just sucks big time

Gino Smith is a crappy QB and gets 41 points off the lions defense

 

[snackdaddy]

Lulz, Geno friggin Smith looking like an All Pro today. Next week he'll be back to normal.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Bummer was hoping Detroit would get it done. Lost opportunity.

22 teams have QBs rated below top 10. He is a good QB that can win you some games with a good defense. If the lions had a decent defense, I could see them winning 10 games and making the playoffs. But their defense sucks big time.

 

[Tano]

Well @Karate at least won his bet.

The reason we didn't all buy the Lions as a surprise team this year. Their D sucked last year and they really did nothing in the offseason to improve it.

 

[Tano]

Heh - Detroit has scored more points than every team in the league. Kansas City would have to score 42 points to tie them.

I stand by my statement that they are a top 16 offense

I said 7 and 10 but with that defense - be lucky to get 5 wins this year

 

[LouisvilleRam]

Lol, I didn't know Greg The Leg Zuerline was with the Jets. From kicking a game winning 57 yarder to put us in the Superbowl to one of the worst teams. But they're gonna win today up 24-20 with 16 seconds left.

Yep him and LaMarcus Joyner

 

[AZRams]

Goff outscored two starting QBs for me in Fantasy....Lamar and Herbert.

 

[Giles]

Goff simply can't win, scores 35+ points 3/4 games and his defense literally can't do anything right. Can't tackle, can't pressure, can't force turnovers, can't force punts they can't do shit other than give up points. Worse defense I've even seen.

 

[Tano]

If I was Detroit next year, I would trade down since there will be a bunch of QBs coming out next year and get as many draft picks for the defensive side.

They need to completely redo their defense.

Edit - hey look - I am already looking to the draft for them. Feels like the Rams from 2004 to 2016

 

[BonifayRam]

I do not have a problem with Morris as our DC - I just want him to make better decisions on 3rd and 10 or longer

Not convinced that any of the projected possibilities (Chris Shula 7yr experience/ Eric Henderson 5yrs expereince/ Thad Bogarus 8 yrs exp. or Chris Beake 24 yrs exp. would replace DC Morris. Very likely an outside hire.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Detroit’s offense leads the NFL in scoring; 35 points per game.

They also lead the NFL in points allowed per game with… 35.

That's a horrifying figure for lions fans.
