Re: Detroit Lions 2022
Some of you actually thought this year was going to be different!
I'm certainly not without egg on my own face. I predicted 6 or 7 wins this season. I now think there's only a small chance this garbage team - who seldom can seem to play well in all facets of the game at the same time - reaches 6 or more wins this season.
I foolishly believed this team was better than last year's team. On paper, that seemed like a reasonable proposition. Now, I'm unwilling to stand by that statement.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022
You can't tell me that up until that goal line fumble the Lions weren't in position to win that game. The defense came to play, Okudah was making plays left and right, even the offense was working for the most part. Damn, what could've been.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022
The goal line fumble was certainly the turning point.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022
Yeah, and how many times over the past few seasons have the Lions "been in position to win the game" and then lost? I've lost count. Its a lot. The Lions simply do not know how to win games with any consistency whatsoever. Been that way since I started watching them in the mid-90s.moldyoldie wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2022 4:35 pmYou can't tell me that up until that goal line fumble the Lions weren't in position to win that game.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022
Bad teams find ways to lose games. The opposite is also true.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022
I was reading some comments on some Lions Facebook page last night before bed. I started laughing and my wife wanted to know what was so funny. You know, you could have read those same comments in 1969, 1978, 1983, 1994, 1997, 2002, 2010...you get my point. Nothing ever changes with this organization. I haven't sat down to watch or listen to one minute of Lions football in a couple of years now. We'll be having this conversation in the "Detroit Lions 2031" thread.

Apparently the curse of Bobby Layne was more than 50 years.
What we have in reality is the curse of Ford ownership.

Maybe we can trade the owner to some other team for a bunch of draft picks.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022
The 'Phins came back from a 21-point fourth quarter deficit recently; it goes without saying that no lead is safe against them, even when you lead for over forty minutes of the game as the Lions did today.
That late fourth down incomplete desperation bomb by Goff to the end zone was a head-scratcher when a simple short first down pass would've been "perfectly perfect". Were all short receivers that well covered? We were driving for the late game-ending touchdown.

Swift was wide open to Goff's left and would have easily made the 1st down. Goff never looked at him.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022
I saw the footage of that play. To be fair to Goff, Swift was still well behind the line and shadowed by a defender who could easily make a play as soon as Goff released the ball to him. Whether or not Swift could make the first down was dubious, in my opinion. Apparently Goff has the freedom to go deep at any time he sees fit, according to Campbell in his post-game presser.moldyoldie wrote: ↑Sun Oct 30, 2022 5:01 pmDamn.Robert Faygo wrote: ↑Sun Oct 30, 2022 4:49 pmSwift was wide open to Goff's left and would have easily made the 1st down.
