Motown Bombers

I think you see it in baseball with the Gold Glove. Torii Hunter won Gold Gloves due to his athletic plays in CF. Austin Jackson infamously never dove but was always in the right place at the right time because he always got a good read on the ball. Same with mobile and pocket QBs. A QB like Jackson who rushes for 10 yards is viewed more favorably than a QB who checks into the right play and throws for 10 yards.

"Jared Goff's a really good player. And here's another thing — have you ever noticed that with Jared Goff, his coordinators get head coaching jobs? He's like a stimulus package," Cowherd said. "Every coordinator he has, everyone's like, 'That's a good coordinator.' Yeah, because they've got Jared Goff.” He’s not wrong.

I’m not so sure. The Lions and Eagles could be vying for playoff seeding. Losing to the Eagles would give them the tiebreaker. It would also be a conference loss for other tiebreakers.

Not yet apparently

Lions were unanimous #1 a lot last year.

Honestly, I don’t think Robertson and Ya Sin are that bad as your starting corners. Reed will be back. Just need to hold the fort down these next couple games.

Remember last year against the Packers when they ran in 4th and short to bleed the clock and then kick the FG? He told the team the offense was going to need to win this one and would be unfair to put it on the defense with all the injuries.

Arnold was actually good in this game against one of the best receivers in the league. The Lions defense has been better with him in the field than off.

Barkley is only averaging 3.2 YPC. The Eagles receivers are openly complaining. The offense is not good. They needed a blocked FG to beat a Rams team who hasn’t beaten anyone, and they almost blew it against Tampa. I mean if we are going to say the Lions were sloppy on a 24 point win and solid after hanging 52, do the same with the Eagles.

The Lions beat a Browns team by 24 points that beat the Packers the week before and that was sloppy and hanging 52 points on the Bears is solid. The Eagles, who had to beat the Rams on a field goal block, are the team to beat.

The Eagles don’t pass the eye test. They can’t run the ball with Barkley and they can’t pass. They had no business beating a Rams team who just lost to a depleted 49ers team.

The Eagles offense is not good. Barkley is only averaging 3.2 yards per carry, they are 31st in passing yards and 25th in rushing yards per game. Their receivers are not happy. This Eagles team looks the one from two years ago that went 10-1 and then finished the season 1-5 and lost in the playoffs.

I think the Lions are in some ways ok with the penalties. They want to be physical and naturally there will be penalties they will have to live with.

You're the one getting all bent out of shape with me for some reason. I think the fragile one is you.

I'm not looking for anything from you. You replied to me. Use the ****ing ignore button if it's that bad for you. I don't give a ****.
