Loved that moment haha. They changed the way they call the flip because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where a team might devise a strategy to more vigorously contest passes in the end zone that look like certain touchdowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 It may have not mattered anyway but McVay probably should've called a timeout earlier on that drive to give his defense a breather instead of waiting till we got to the goal line.

RandyMarsh Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Without seeing the all 22 footage it's hard to say for sure how he looked but from what I saw I thought Arnold looked good for the most part relative to how most CBs play in their first games. He was grabby and I believe did miss a tackle or two but from memory it didn't appear like he was getting toasted or overmatched like say an Okudah or Darius Slay looked in their early games.

Jason_R Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Offense just looked really out of sync tonight. ASB fell down a few times. Gibbs fell down at the end. They just don’t have any game reps under their belt because they were hidden during pre-season. But they hung in and beat a playoff team in a game they probably should have lost. Impressive.

Motown Bombers Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 It seemed like Davenport was in the backfield a lot. If he stays healthy, this will be big for the Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, their use of St. Brown tonight was inconsistent and really inexplicably bad. He needed more targets overall it felt like and I feel their offense stalled out in the second half partly because of his lack of usage.

He was actually in the frame with the receivers he was covering, which often wasn’t the case last year. 😂 He got picked on a bit by a veteran QB. But he battled. I also didn’t think the calls against him were egregious. He will clean up some things and improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he looked disruptive a few different times tonight and that was a net positive for this defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he got beat several times tonight and made two bad penalties. As I said earlier, I think he looked like the rookie CB that he is.

That's how I saw it, too. He didn't look overmatched, and made some great tackles. I think he's gonna be pretty good once he gets his bearings.

NYLion Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Montgomery might be the most underrated player in the league, what a beast. I know the O-Line deserves credit but he was driving through guys on the regular and has great vision to find the holes. Great player 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I saw some things on twitter from people talking about Cooper Kupp "torching" the secondary cause he had 14 catches and 110 yards but in reality he was targeted 21 times so when throwing to him Stafford was 14/21 and only just over 5 yards a throw. As a defense that is considered a win and something you would take every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. i didnt think that was impressive. a win is a win in the nfl so we'll take it but it wasnt impressive. they had the same problems as last year: couldnt get to the qb and couldnt cover. that rams team was not a "playoff team." they lost both starting tackles, their starting guard, and then their backup tackle. plus nakua got hurt in the first half. stafford showed what a great qb he is. just like when he played for detroit he made chicken salad out of chicken ****... ...and lost. the offense was out of sync. goff didnt play particularly well and no one but jamo could get open. and the rams were playing without their starting corners too. perhaps they are rusty because they didnt play in the preseason? hope so. the rams front isnt that bad, so it was nice to see the lions all over them in the run game even if goff did get some pressure. the nfl is a week to week league. they have time to get a third receiver up and running from the practice squad. that should open things up a bit. turn the page and beat the bucs.
