September 11, 20223 yr Why was Sirianni running around throwing up the whole, "We're #1 sign," to the crowd after having the Lions hang 35 points on him?

September 12, 20223 yr 5 hours ago, KINGnabb said: Exactly. This was a road game at the end of the day. Lions or not. Also the Lions were clearly motivated about last year's blowout This is why when they were getting Blown out again, they didn't fold this time. They punched us back in the mouth. Defense just needs to get a little tighter. It was like Gannon was aggressive all game but got really passive at the end there. A Big Lead can always evaporate if your not careful. At the end of day, we won and that's all that matters. They won't take the foot off the gas in the future now when we get big leads going forward. They will learn from this. Props to the Lions for fighting. The Big Story of this game was AJ Brown and the Running game picking up where it left off. Are you sure? Maybe Sirianni and Gannon will learn, it's still too early to tell. But some coaches never adapt and learn. Look at Schwartz, he cost us several games doing that prevent crap with a lead. Andy never learned that he needed to run the ball after 14 years!

They also had 4 new players on D who hadn't played much if at all together. That easily could have led to miscommunication etc. Or not. Maybe they just aren't good. I'll take the win and watch next week
September 12, 20223 yr I’m not sure the severity of the Barnett injury but with the poor pass rush and number of runs around the end plus limited DE depth on the roster and practice squad, I’d be looking to add a couple DEs asap at least to the practice squad.

September 12, 20223 yr Well the Cowboys have lost Dak for two months. No reason we shouldn’t win this division now.

Having a healthy squad to enter the season is nice but it comes at the expense of being conditioned (the defense was gassed) and also sound fundamentals (tackling ... what's that?!?!). I do think the Lions are finally on the verge of moving up from being the perennial doormat but we were lucky we didn't start the season against a tougher opponent - I don't think we start 1-0 against a better team with the way the defense played.

Completely agree with you. We got away with one today after what was a pretty good performance at one point.

It's all true. It was a handicap for the first games and it does show. Yet it also did work and we are healthy, which is an investment in future games. To come out of this strategy with a win to start obviously is excellent...
September 12, 20223 yr Pretty sure, the Lions and Vikings will be fighting it out for the Division. The Packers are toast. The Bears are vanilla. I wouldn't be shocked if the Lions find a way to win the Division.

Recall during the draft how the Titans thinking was Burks would replace Brown's production. Hahahaha. A.J. Brown RECEIVING Player REC YDS LNG TD A. Brown 10 155 54 0 T. Burks 3 55 27 0
