[OsO]

Lions beat a Sam Darnold-led team in the final minute and Goff is an MVP and Lions are the best team in the league...

Never change Coli.

They dropped 30 on the #1 defense in the league

They dropped 30 on the #1 defense in the league

And Goff led a masterful drive to seal the win too

 

[EzekelRAGE]

They also put up a stat during the game that said Goff was like the best QB this season or something againt the blitz. High accuracy, 15 yard average and stuff like that. Immediatly after showing that stat, goff was blitzed and passed to Ra for like a 20 yard gain

Goff is who he's been, I don't see huge improvement. He hasn't been asked to do as much as he was last year. He's always been a good QB, he was never garbage or mid like the coli said as recently as a few weeks ago. He's not a top 5 QB though. He's a good QB playing with very good players around him at all positions.

Im so glad MFs can shut up about Justin Fields now....

Russ is clearly better. They probably lose to the Jets with Fields

 

[CM_Burns]

Another thing I haven't learned though is anything about the Steelers.
Wilson had a solid second half, but just like with the Fields, the defense helped a lot and unlucky picks by Rodgers.

That 1-yd tush push TD he did was basically a pick 6 (excluding 1 yd) of something a kid would catch.

So instead of going 22-13, it went 15-23.

Then again, blocked a close field goal.

Then add like two career-like highlight catches by Steelers guys.



So it was a lot of rare events defining the game. shyt that won't happen every week.

The lesson from the Steelers is that's a very good team, especially their defense. If whoever their QB is having a good game, they can probably beat anybody in the league.

the Lions are about as legit as it gets right now and building off the success of making the NFC Championship game last season - whats not to like outside of losing Hutch? Their offense can win any game

[klientel]

I'm loving the fact that my boy Goff is ballin but that stat is probably a little misleading...

a blitz against the Lions is a lot different than a blitz against the Giants for example.

How much of that is Goff being excellent against the blitz vs....the Lions can just pick up practically any blitz with ease and now the defensive backfield is handicapped

 

[SCJoe]

Just gonna say the Panthers Breh's were right, we should have hired Steve Wilks when we had the chance.

I think on average they're pretty good compared to most teams. You don't really let Mixon have four games of 100+ rushing yards if it's a really bad OL.

Nothing close to what the Dolphins, Rams, Bears, Cardinals, Seahawks, Carolina, etc. are working with. Like it's not even some plays those lines are bad, it's every snap those lines have a lot of problems and potentially get their QB's killed and zero running game.

Maybe not the amongst the very best (Lions, Colts, Eagles, Bucs), but still top ~10 in the league which is why I think Stroud and Mixon can go to work there.

Where are you getting this from?

Top 10? PFF has the Texans O-line ranked 22nd. Run blocking and pass blocking are different.

Quarterback C.J. Stroud has been sacked 20 times, tied for the third-most in the NFL, while the Texans’ front five ranks 26th in pass-block and run-block win rates.

He was running for his life all game.

This isn't being talked about enough....
