Game Thread: 2023 Lions regular season game thread

[Mebert]

We finally get to see Dylan Drummond in the regular season.

I wonder if Drummond gets more snaps than JaMo?

If he is taking the St. Brown snaps almost guaranteed. My guess os those got to Raymond though. Drummond takes the remainder

I will be in attendance tomorrow. Can't wait to hear and be part of that crowd noise. I hope our OL leans on their DL so we can control the game. Then it doesn't matter that St. Brown is out.

The list of Lions out has me more concerned about this game than before. Looks like Joseph is going to be back, so safety will be OK. No Branch means the slot is going to be Will Harris. I expect Theilen to have his best game of the year now.

Without Gibbs and half of our receivers expect another massive workload for Montegomery, I hope he holds up.

Oline is the healthiest it has been this year, so offense should still be solid at least.

You might see TW3 in the slot now that Melafonu played so well last week. We also get Mosely finally so Jacobs might be available for some slot work when he is not playing corner.

We need to dominate the trenches or this will be a close game.

Who is the Panthers RT? His initial punch is staggering whoever he is making contact with. Dude is a beast

Our receivers suck.

Hard to get used to these stress-free 4th quarters.. nice tho

 

[Mebert]

Jameson Williams seems to be an active blocker.

Don’t get too comfortable - next week is flexed and with the surprisingly competent Baker Mayfield led Buccaneers.

I bet that’s the reminder you needed - you’re welcome.

Our receivers suck.

I wouldnt go that far. Jammo still cant catch. That should not be a surprise to you. I have been saying it for months. Reynolds dropped and easy one but made some great ones too. Laporta has improved tremdously. Raymond has been very good. And of course ARSB is a beast. MJJ is just filler but we could do worse.

We just need 1 of these 3 guys (Jammo, Green, Drummond) to become a consistent deeper threat and we are all set. 2 of our 4 RBs are injured now. I think we need to get Bennie Snell back. Cabinda can be sent home. He is having a pretty bad year all around.

 

[Old Lion]

I was a little disappointed with the defense again. Without the turnovers this was a pedestrian effort. Hopefully they play like the last 2 games before this in the next 3 weeks. Gets a little harder for a few weeks.

Every DB we brought in to fix the worst secondary in football is hurt. We are back to what we had last year and it showed.

Edit: except Sutton.

Have to say impressed with Craig Reynolds in the 4th quarter with 6 rushes, 48 yds and a touchdown giving Montgomery a rest.

Luckily Harris, of all people, had a monster game

Hulu is heating up after a slow start. His vision and and movement were the best I have seen from him. He looked like a number 1. Granted it was against Carolina but still.

 

[redskinsfan1963]

real awful about mosley tearing his good acl after tearing his opposite one last year.hope he comes back in 2024

He looked good for the quarter he was in. Unfortunately pulled a Rodgers on us.

Probably best to give an injury settlement and move on.

I hope the Lions keep on keepin' on. It's nice to see them doing well. And Sanders is my all time favorite RB.
