Game Thread: 2023 Lions regular season game thread

I would like very much to read about the Lions signing Benny Snell at some point this week.

Or at least Leonard Fournette. Either would make a good poor mans Monte.

Goff didn't have much time to get the ball deep.

He checked down more than he should have but when you have a lead you want to control the clock unless your defense sucks. Better safe then sorry I guess.

Mo Ibrahim has been signed onto the practice squad. Devine Ozigbo is also back on the practice squad. Makes me wonder if they are waiting to see who has the best week before calling one of them up

Horribly under thrown and back to the middle, where the defender was.

It's not as if Williams made some huge adjustment. A pass that travels 60 yards in the air and comes down on the WR is not a bad pass, so I guess we just disagree.

Mo was terrible in preseason. I hope it was just nerves or naivety. He looked so good in college.

He looked good early preseason then got hurt. I am hoping the injury was the main cause of his fall off. Either way, good flyer for PS

Its possible he was playing hurt. Hope you are right.

He was waived with an injury settlement during the preseason. He was for sure hurt, but we have no details on how bad or what was hurt. It would be cool if he came in strong and worked out.

He had four carries before he got hurt in the one game he played.

Yes I saw the game. He looked lost on 3 of those 4 carries. He did not get raves in training camp either. Hopefully he can get time on the practice squad and acclimate. Ozigbo has only been marginally better than him so maybe he gets a shot in a week or 2.

I ain't saying shit the rest of the year.

Well...it's worked pretty well so far.

Lions wearing those shitty Alt helmets vs Ravens. A loss here wouldnt be the worse thing if those go away because of it.

Alternatively, a win here and the bandwagon effect will be in full bloom. There's already been quite a bit of talk this week about the Lions being the best team in football right now.

We are a top team but I dont see much diff between the top 6 teams

They aren’t wearing those awesome helmets this weekend.

Just breaking em in in practice. Wearing em Monday night against the Raiders. With the silver surfer unis.

Dang it. I dont think I can condone losing to the Raiders.

It’s the logo or champions.

You’re gonna like the way we look…

I am feeling a Kerby Joseph or Tracy Walker revival. Make a play or two when the front-4 makes Jackson uncomfortable.

Forward Down the Field!

 

[VulturesRule]

The D will be the difference today for Detroit. They don’t have to get a lot of sacks or turnovers, just force three and outs more often than not. Win the time of possession and the Lions should win this game.
