Now if we can just get 9-10 more like this, we'll be playing well into January. It's easy to club the Lions even when they struggle against a team like the Jets who have proven nothing over the last several years. Vegas 3-0 or Minny 3-0...are they better than the Lions? Doubt it.
Reed is a decent CB. He's not a lock down corner but he is consistent and doesn't make glaring mistakes. I wish we had another like him. Can Rakestraw develop into that? I think Shep is going to have to scheme around this secondary and the lack of a cover LB isn't unusual but isn't helpful.
Offense needs to play well, and play complimentary football. If that means 30 plus points a game, so be it. Petzing needs to get his big boy hat on.🧙
It’s a win. A good win? that’s debatable but it’s a adequate win. The offense having to score 31 points a game to win or have a chance to win is likely unsustainable. Are the Lions going to be the best of a group of mediocre teams, probably. Of course this changes with defensive upgrades to the backfield and I don’t believe Branch coming back will be sufficient as that upgrade.
Well, I believe with the offensive talent accumulated and the NFL board tilted towards offense that it is sustainable as long as the necessary people continue to be healthy. They are only scratching the surface on Jamo, LaPorta, TeSlaa and their backups. We've really only seen what Gibbs and to a lesser extent what St Brown can do. But yet there are wrinkles within wrinkles that haven't been fully explored with them either.
Will Branch be an upgrade? At this point, my best guess is that he's lateral to what they have now while coming off the injury. But considering the injuries that have already been sustained at safety/nickel he gives them better/other options.
Dan was way too pleased with that performance in his post game press conference. Dude has really set the bar low. The window is definitely closed if that sort of game is worth celebrating.
I'm not sharing an opinion. I'm sharing the organizational philosophy. But there's nothing gained by telling your guys they suck immediately after a win.
You cover the spread and end the game in victory formation in the NFL you celebrate the W. Vaki, Teslaa, Rakestraw all flashed and Chuck Clark is legit. Jets made plays, credit to them and specifically Garrett Wilson. They fought tooth and nail. Big win.
He is a liability in coverage and vs the run. His former DC’s team attacked him whenever he was on the field. He lost his gap responsibility and got put in the wash whenever he had to change direction. I honestly don’t understand why Lions fans love this undersized, stiff hipped special teamer

Jets looked good. All three touchdowns were great throws and catches. Thought Reed’s first PI was a stretch. Rake made some plays.
These post-game recaps are a gold mine for my block list.
Pesky isn’t the proper word. The Lions’ secondary was Swiss cheese as always. But keep PR spinning.

The bar is a win. Always has been, always will be. They worry about corrections and cleanup on Monday.
Damn. The media has finally bought in to Dan’s loser talk too.

Patricia did that, though. Think he's available.
Well, at least DC is better than MP. No low bar there. 🙄
Hall and Wilson both out at the end of that game was a big break for the Lions. DJ Reed, though. I sure thought he was better than this.
there were some incredible catches by wilson that most good db's could not have stopped

Great win, football is fun, but certainly not for the faint of heart...
We better buckle up, it's not going to be all cupcakes and unicorns each week, so enjoy the ride people!
Also, thought the offense is looking pretty ok, if a bit sluggish in the 1st qtr.
31 pts/gm will win a lot of games this year, even with our defensive backfield struggling.
I hate to be “that guy” but Malcolm Rodriguez should never play another snap at LB unless it’s in the preseason
Most definitely you are that guy. Weird take after a W

Ur definitely that guy
Can't cover
The secondary is awful. Not sure why Geno didn’t just throw the ball up. It would have been a completion or PI
