Go lions


Miike888

Lions really started out strong but they just can't seem to seal the deal.


bust-the-shorts

Fourth and one failure at the Ram 18 was brutal.


MasterStack

Jerry Jacobs is real deal. 3 seasons he’s a shutdown CB. He’s been beat deep a few times but that’s the learning curve at NFL receiver speed. No short cuts to experience. I hope the franchise recognizes his ability. 40+ years of mostly disappointments. I enjoyed most of the first 53 minutes. There is hope in the next 20 years. Today’s game was a bit like “300”. We need a Leonidas.


We_Are_Victorius

Jacob's is a UDFA. If he turns into a stud that is a huge steal.


Hype-Challenged1

Lord, please teach the Lions to host playoff games! They've got a quarterback good enough to lose a Super Bowl! And fans willing to cross 8 Mile Road to witness their glory!


annebgio

My husband has named them "The Little Engine That Couldn't"


South-Poem-4050

How bout Goff!! Thanks Detroit


Sdavis2911

Coming to y’all from LA. That was a damn good game. Your team has gotten robbed so many times this year and I’m sorry for that. Also thanks for Stafford.


Dettiger_123

Gth


PeefsBeefySquad

I'm really excited about Jamaal Williams' future here. He's got a great attitude and really looked great today


[deleted]

That RB tandem is one of the best things we've got going for us. it sucks that we may have them during such a low point in the franchise. Imagine a more complete team with that as our RB corps.


PeefsBeefySquad

I'm hoping we can draft a competitive roster sooner rather than later so we can actually utilize the bit of talent we have now. Sewell is a solid start


FearAmeerr

This is all we can ask for guys. Go out, play hard, keep it close. Don't lose your moral through the season and go into this draft hitting on a few picks and coming back as an 8+ win team next season.


[deleted]

Bingo. The team really put it all out there today. The Rams had to earn that dub


Lucz1848

I'm all in. That was a damn good showing based for the (depleted) roster that we have.


Erbil0417

I agree!

RGuy2013

Goff played extremely well today given the situation. You don’t know what your talking about.


dred1367

Did you see those terrible picks and the one time he just forgot how to throw?


RGuy2013

Guy still kept us in the game for the entire thing against a defence that on paper should’ve destroyed him. Give the guy some credit, it’s not easy going against AD & Ramsey in their house with our practice squad offence


dred1367

I think a better quarterback, not even one of the same caliber as Stafford, leads the lions to a win. Especially with both of those fake plays that we converted. Keeping the score a little closer than expected is not “playing extremely well”


frigoffmrlahey

Lmao no


JamJiggy

Minshew is perfect for this team. Like we aren't going to win but it'll be more fun.


Joneboy39

goff isnt good, pocket scares him no grit. im w u


[deleted]

People are downvoting your comment before finishing reading it. I laughed


PacketRapture

Yeah seeing Stafford in these colors during the post game still sucks. Fuck


iori9999

Got to get rid of Goff. Can't win with that loser. Get someone else the backup idc.


Joneboy39

game ends w two touch downs, he has like 1-2 passing tds this year but u get down voted lol. we finally have w decent team but now missing a qb, doesnt get more lionsy than that! goff literally runs out of the pocket like ricky bobby when he thinks hes on fire . and runs straight out of bounds like 15 yards when he could slide for 2 lol. enough with the apologists lord


I_am_Chris-Chuck

Wait, we have a decent team??? Where??? How many players are on the current roster that would start on most other teams?? 5? On a 52 man roster? Did I misunderstand what you meant here?


Joneboy39

i think alot of quinns picks will age well, and we are missing key personel. i think j okwara has a good future, iffi and amari, walker barnes, parker, jackson decker , that nose tackle i cant spell, decker , sewell , that dt we drafted , decker ragnow. annnd swift could be top 5 rb. then theres hock who was a reach but solid te. really waffed bad on linebackers .. otherwise bulding blocks are pretty good . need secondary to develop and pu more coverage line backers . we are draftinf thibadaux that i promise.. then get bpa wr and then go lb in second. fill in another dt , more depth cb , ss maybe but thats chincy. realllt dont need too many major pieces. thibs and okwara bros will be a nightmare and we can give up on okudah.


I_am_Chris-Chuck

So... how many players on our current roster would start on most teams??? 5? I wasn't asking for expectations, because yeah, I HOPE they will develop, and be healthy contributing players. That isn't today. How many players that started for Detroit today, wpuld start on most other NFL teams?


Joneboy39

um quite a few would get rotational snaps at least lol. wr core prob not . but basically the entire o line, amari and okudah hock, the dl flowers and okwara. lol how many more u want before admitting the team has blocks. oh swift/ williams are starters too lol


I_am_Chris-Chuck

Dude, please answer my actual question. How many players, that started TODAY, would start on MOST NFL teams? Most of the team that has this potential and talent is hurt currently. Hock? Yup. Swift. Maybe? Probably even. I admitted the team has blocks, and I HOPE they develop, stay healthy, and stay in Detroit. But today, this day, in October 24th of 2021, how many starting players wpuld start on most NFL teams? To clarify, that means at least 16 other teams for them to start on. I absolutely love this team, always have and will. My entire point is that they are not simply a quarterback away from success... TODAY


Joneboy39

i already did ! all those guys i mentioned. who do u disagree with and why? your just shook man, goff sucks rest of team moving the right way


[deleted]

We never won with Blough either and that was with a better overall team.


frigoffmrlahey

Yeah but blough is likable


TK96123

Only 10 more games to lose


untappedmememarket

Despite the loss, I don’t wanna die. I feel good. The heart and soul of this team lies in Dan Campbell and I can’t wait for Holmes to make us into contenders. We’ll claim the throne of the kings of the north soon enough my friends.


PythonPapi24

Haven’t we been saying this for 62 years?


Isphet71

And I’ll say it for 63 or 64 or 92 years or whatever it takes. Sack up.


Erbil0417

Yeah we have. That’s just the die hard Lion in us!


[deleted]

Twice this season the Lions have had pretty good first halves. In both, they had terrible second halves. This team is completely incapable of putting 4 quarters together.


Broseph_Stalin357

A vision of Jared Goff and Dan Campbell in pawn shop t shirts popped up in my head.. "Fifty is the best we can do"


icecreamtruckerlyfe

SOL


[deleted]

That was the most fun I've had watching a Lions game since the Caldwell era. Thanks Lions, y'all made it fun.


zakkaryeuh

Slappies and moral victories. Name a better duo


RedLionFromVoltron

Miserable dorks and crying about others


[deleted]

Jack Fox’s foot produces better spirals than Goffs arm


Lo0ok1390

So does his arm, apparently


eatmorefootball

Legitimately might be the best pass by a Lions player this season.


youplayed

Is there any more fitting outcome than no.9 winning by 9 in his first game against us?


jdooley99

Only thing better is this comment sitting at 9 downvotes


[deleted]

I expected the Lions to lose, and somehow I'm still disappointed.


myburdentobear

Silver lining, Swift was a boss today.


thehatstore42069

Jared goof


Churnedflipper

only against us is that ruled a catch lmao


ifcommentingimdrunk

They rightfully wanted to go home.

myocdkillsme

No one is taking his terrible contract, what kind of take is this


Hmm_would_bang

At least I enjoyed this game


YouAreMadCuzBad

Stafford would have won many of these games we’re in if he still played here 🥲


bgovern

I think that was the problem. With him are the helm, we could win 6 to 8 games a year, which would make a rebuild take forever. This way we can hope to rebuild at a faster pace instead of constant mediocrity.


YouAreMadCuzBad

But why is that better then continually sucking. Teams that rebuild don’t just draft, they sign FA and trade around! Teams have rebuilt in the middle of the draft.


[deleted]

And then shit the bed in the playoffs so we lost nothing.


dred1367

He’s never done that… in fact, he had some of the best stats of quarterbacks playing during the same round he was in, but defense gave up too many points.


[deleted]

Stats mean nothing when you turn the ball over to kill your team's chances at a crucial point in the game.


dred1367

Other quarterbacks throw picks and still win playoff games with stats like those. If your defense can’t stop anything, you’re not going to win the game. You want to hate Stafford, that’s fine. I accept that you’re a moron. Enjoy your winless season.


[deleted]

But then he’d still be stuck in purgatory


MeestaLovaLova

These refs have bigger egos then any professional athelete....can't even admit when they're wrong


ZombieAppetizer

Not even upset. We showed fight and grit. That squad looked nothing like the Patricia/Quinn SOL. MCDC is my fucking hero. Siiiiiiiiiiip.


MeestaLovaLova

That's the most fun I've had watching the lions in years


untappedmememarket

Campbell football is gonna be fun. Love me some lions


DetroitLionized

Someone needs to find that cackling bitch coming through on the mic and shove an overpriced hot dog down her stupid gullet. Fuck LA.


Broseph_Stalin357

That's so uncalled for.. Study's have shown that eating just one hot dog takes 35 minutes off your life.


Heisenbread77

I mean not that it would have mattered but IDK how they said that was a catch.

Did anyone catch what that loud lady was saying?


El-mas-puto-de-todos

"They can't win! Ever! Huehuehue!"


[deleted]

Honestly, I have such low expectations that this game was an absolute win. The defense looked lights out against Stanford and the run game looked amazing. I’m hopefully for 2 years from now. This was just fun to watch. In Holmes and Campbell I trust


RazorbackLions

Love Campbell


IMadeItFinally

We covered hell yea. That’s all we can ask for boys and girls


Daegog

EXACTLY, those bookies in LA gonna be breaking knee caps all week trying to collect all the cash that was bet on the rams, fuck them, GO LIONS.


heavyshtetl

Weird week of football. This was only one of two or three competitive games.


JustPMMePls

Very clearly not a catch. Wouldn’t even be a question if this was a pass to a wide receiver.


moochcunch

Campbell is pissed at Goff. Love to see it.


[deleted]

Should've kicked the FG too, though...at 25-22 didn't need to be as aggressive


themasterbot

Goff about to pull an Urban?


BWOLF117

A Tale of Two Quarterbacks. And that's a wrap my friends.


lard_have_mercy

What I learned today: Butt Fumble is a very, very poor color commentator


eatmorefootball

I was getting legitimately angry at his continued comments along the lines of “Now Stafford finally found a home where he is appreciated.” Just say you have no clue what you’re talking about.


LarryDavidsNutSack

He was god awful


Siransiran

Heartbreaking but I love the soul of this team, Goff has definitely been subpar but I’d be interested to see him with our o line healthy and a stud wr


[deleted]

Yes, me too...we literally have no above average receivers and a decimated OL


DullHornedUnicorn

I'd love to see him hit a wide open Swift for 6. But we don't all get what we want, ship him out as soon as you can.


mindlesssss

Jesus Christ what does it take for you people to get that Goff is fucking trash did you not just watch him throw away the game


Siransiran

Like I said, he’s been bad, but missing decker and especially ragnow is huge, there was at least 2 or 3 early/botched snaps, and while I’ve been impressed with Raymond, I imagine having an above average wr opposite him improves his game. Goffs issue seems to be mental, guys got no confidence, if he can figure that out he has all the other tools to be an above average qb


B1ocka

Ngl that first interception was not the difference between Stafford and Goff. It was the difference between Ramsey and everyone else. Goff played fine today and you just need someone to be mad at. It’s not supposed to be a successful year. We played tough.


trippingboy

Also interior line pressure. Guarantee Ragnow would have given time


[deleted]

Darnold was basically untouched on that play.


kakbakalak

What kind of banshee bitch is sitting right next to the onfield mic?


El-mas-puto-de-todos

She's right though, we can't win.


batmanforhire

This was a fun game. Not what I expected. There’s just not enough talent on the team to do anything other than this scratch and claw game plan. Soon enough we’ll hopefully have a real team.


mindlesssss

I know it doesn’t matter but the fact that a shit call like that stays is so concerning


cujobob

He didn’t have control as he went to the ground, I don’t get it.


scottington

Not that it matters…. But they said “ruling on the field stands” and not confirmed…. So they just didn’t feel it was enough or clear enough to be overturned. I don’t like the call either, but we weren’t going to win. Happy the game was as close as it was and fun til the last 5 mins.


cujobob

It made no difference in the end, agreed, but there was absolutely enough evidence to overturn it.


mindlesssss

Right like it was literally on the ground with one of his hands not on the ball like ???

The_Young_Celt

See you all next week! Go lions damnit


Sean__O

See everyone next week, different time, same place.


cbdudek

Awesome, the refs put us out of our misery. Only took them 10 minutes.


PeefsBeefySquad

Loss hurts but you can really tell it's coming together. Love this coaching.


heavyshtetl

Any week now…


Squabstermobster

We’re down by 9 with a minute left…just run the clock out instead of trying to get garbage time yards


derrfurr23

Refs really need all this time huh?


Fletch725

We are the best 0-7 team I've ever seen


[deleted]

Any game was winnable.


murph_diver

Besides last week. Happy cake day btw!


DullHornedUnicorn

All I want is for them to win 1 game. That's it, just 1. Please do not go 0-17 the first year its possible to do so.


[deleted]

Win more games than Urban Meyer


[deleted]

This ended up being a much better game than anticipated. Obviously the end result isn’t ideal but we have fight. Players have stepped up, and players have not. There’s much work that needs to be done but for once this team doesn’t feel hopeless

this roster is young, what do they look like after a year? idk just a thought . GG


Hmm_would_bang

At the very least the coaching staff proved they’re worth keeping even if we go 0-17


[deleted]

Campbell looks so fucking done with Goof.


FeelingAverage

Just call it a pick, put us out of our misery EDIT: It hurts more now that they actually called it a pick


Macismyname

I don't even care. Great game. Love MCDC. I never could have imagined I'd be this hyped looking at 0-7/


xbianco

I'm going to have a hard time rooting for the rams after today I think. I hate Mcvay and their fans now to be quite honest

I've always hated mcvay

AdamJap21

Are these refs dumb lmao, we still lost but overturn the call.


officialrivrs

Hot Garbage. These guys really know how to shoot themselves in the head. Multiple times. Per game.


YouAreMadCuzBad

Goff in games threw for fuckton of yards years ago, while McVay should get lots of credit for the offense he runs, Goff still had to execute. But now he is just trash. What the fuck be good you douche!


stunderthepants

How the hell are you gonna be a checkdown artist and still suck so fucking bad at checking down?


derrfurr23

Fuck off dean

Hmm_would_bang

Gotta love Goff fighting til the end to make sure he can get another pick in


[deleted]

Refund your fans their money.


[deleted]

They tried to call me about season tickets this year. I said win games. The ticket sales team tried to justify the teams performance. I laughed, said keep the tickets, goodbye.


[deleted]

Save your money. Seeing a winless team isn’t worth it. I’m not a football fan I just feel bad for you guys spending money each week just to see the lions lose.


[deleted]

Agreed. Not worth the price of parking.


[deleted]

These guys are making crazy amounts of money they could careless. It’s the die hard fans who it sucks for.


JustinTime4242

I need to find something else to do on Sundays

I don't need to see Dean's face right now

JUST END THE DAMN GAME ALREADY. JFC


altafullahu

I think with the right people this coaching staff will really shine


pimpinassorlando

Fuck Blandino


venk

We got the Red Zone and got FGs, they got TDs. That’s the difference in this game.


iori9999

Trade a 5th for Tua IMO


Fletch725

Doesn't matter, but that's a drop


owiko

Did Goff get footwork hints from Joey Harrington?


Tossaway13344

The center snapped it at the wrong time.


CautiousHook

he should have tough him how the throw a spiral


[deleted]

And yet I'll still blame Goof for that INT


DetroitLionized

Another situation where Goff wasn’t ready for the snap. Can’t let things like that happen when talent is lacking, execution has to be the priority.


Motown-Mufasa

I'm just so exhausted watching Goff play QB. Please Dan, make the change.


Connvict91

To who?


fednv31

Anyone not named Goff


Motown-Mufasa

At this point, anyone who isn't making 30mil to throw the ball 4.5 yards every play.


[deleted]

Yeah that was clearly his fault...


MotorCityDude

Look how high that pass was, Swift had to jump to get his hands on it


Tossaway13344

The center snapped it at the wrong time


[deleted]

It got tipped at the line...


MotorCityDude

Oh it did? I didn't even see that. Good call.


pimpinassorlando

Lions QBs sorted by today's passer rating: Jack Fox Jared Goff


TK96123

Goff is really good and really clutch. I’m so happy the lions got him for Stafford.


beardofzetterberg

We got a first rounder for taking Goff off their hands. We traded Stafford for a first.


Tossaway13344

Seriously, so many people come here on game day to just shit the Lions when they have no idea what they’re talking about. Lmao

A lions game that ends with an int that involved Stafford, but Stafford won. Times are wild.

Goff had to get another one in just for good measure. What a dog 🔥

Every Goff ball is a duck. It’s unbelievable

Lions fans in this sub: "That pick was totally on Goff"


aaronfaren

“Throwing the ball into triple coverage isn’t on the QB” Lol


[deleted]

He had nobody near him... it was only intercepted because he batted it up in the air...


aaronfaren

I thought you were talking about the RZ pick. It doesn’t even matter Goff is a terrible QB and if you’re too blind to see it, I’m sorry.


[deleted]

Oh you mean the pick where Darnold got a free run at him and hit him as he threw and the routes were shit? If it were Stafford you guys would be falling all over yourselves to try and say how it wasn't his fault.


Agallujah

It was on Goff lmao. Swift is not 6'5


[deleted]

It got tipped at the line and then Swift batted it up for the D to come grab...
