2024 Lions season thread

I’ve yet to get mad at Arnold on any of his penalties.

It sucks he’s getting so many flags. But he’s physical and competing thru the end of plays. I’ll take it.

Youngest defensive unit in football. Even with only slight improvement over the season we’re looking at an average defense. And an average defense with this offense can beat anyone.

Long term success is not sustainable when you have to outscore every team we play.

Good Sir, if they achieve that stat, none of the other stats matter. That is the one over-arching goal.

None have been egregious, but I worry he is becoming a target for officials. He needs to ask Sauce how to get the refs to look the other way.

Eventually the flags will stop, and Arnold will still be right around the ball, just don't know how long it takes.

Also Arizona has the 4th best redzone td%, are top 10 yards per play, and 12th in total yards. Outside of that nothing major they land top 15 in.

Smitty covered the Bucs stats, and as stated Rams offense lost Their entire receiving game, of course they plummeted in stats, but all those players played against the Lions.

Wow, that powerful seahawks O was at it again against Giants, wait nevermind. I thought I was wrong for a minute. Must just mean Giants are better than us

Nobody had argued they did not shit the bed defensivly that game. The point is the defense carried them for 3 weeks and you are bitching about 1 bad game. They may continue to fall apart on defense, but as of this day the defense has out performed the offense in most games. You are obsessed with the 1.

And here's the thing. The Seahawks simply have Glenn's number. It's just one of those things. They have decimated our defense for 3 consecutive years now. I'm not sure how good/bad this defense actually is this year, but I won't judge it on this game.

I will judge it in Dallas, though. Off such a poor performance, with an extra week to prepare, the defense needs to be stout this week. If it's not, there are problems.

This week will be a good indicator on where the defense is.

Glenn is being stubborn with coverages and personnel. Refuses to bring up 1 of the rookies to be the pass rush DE. Went with Houston last week and it was a disaster. Lots of single coverage too especially on obvious long passing downs. I am not saying play zone but dont leave star players single covered.

Davis can't single cover Metcalf every play, and he sure as he'll can't for Lamb either.

I would double Lamb with Arnold and Joseph and let Davis single up on the number 2. Go back to playing nickel too. Dallas cant run so no sense in having 3 LBs out there. I want to see more Amik anyway.

Monty signs two year contract extension. Now with us through 2027.


Happy to see this.

It’s great to hear “Let’s go Lions” being chanted in the background of the broadcast.

 

[redskinsfan1963]

love lions bitchifying dallas.

 

[elguapo]

Now, thats a defense, but I am heartbroken. I turned the game off for a while, hutch is my fav player in all of football, by far

 

[redskinsfan1963]

loved the ass whipping.

Don’t watch the replay.

It’s nasty.

 

[Old Lion]

Hard to pick on anything this game. Obviously losing Hutch sucks but the team just mauled Dallas in every facet except kickoffs.

Jack Fox gets the game ball, LOL.

It's not that bad lol. I'll admit my perception is skewed because I literally work with that all the time.

He was wearing white and I didn't see any blood, so hopefully not an open fracture. And without actually seeing the xrays there's no way to even guess at fragments or how comminuted it is. Probably just a normal IM rod gets inserted and often they don't even fix the fibula and let that heal normally. I'm guessing because of his height and physical activity they have to fix his fib though. Probably a plate and screws on that. Which means additional cuts in the muscle. With his height and not wanting to mess with the knee as much they probably go suprapateller, so they're going through the quad tendon to do that.

Unless something like Alex Smith happens with an infection and needing multiple surgeries I dont think you even need to worry about it being career ending. But I highly doubt we see him again this year.

Legs bending where there aren’t joints have a way of bothering me. lol

We’re about to find out just how good this team is. Losing Hutchinson for the season is a setback.. Let’s see if the coaches can adjust to fit the players the Lions are able to field.
