buddha Posted Monday at 07:54 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:54 PM on the one hand, this loss kills their defense and makes them from mediocre to suspect. otoh, they had a very suspect defense last year and were a couple josh reynolds drops away from the super bowl.

Jason_R Posted Monday at 08:53 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:53 PM Their defense has been better than mediocre and was dominant yesterday. It seems unlikely they will put up a performance like yesterday’s without Hutch but they will still key on the run and their secondary will continue to improve.

number20 Posted Monday at 10:04 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:04 PM Losing Hutch for the year is tantamount to losing Sewell on offense for the season. Just as devastating. Arguably the league's best at their respective positions, but they're far more than that to the Lions. They're absolute cornerstones and linchpins. What a gut punch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM According to PFF, the Lions as a team had an 88.5 pass defense grade. Davis had an 88 PFF grade. Branch and Joseph are the 5th and 6th ranked safeties in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys fans must be so down right now. Should have designed a pass to Ragnow. He ran out Jimmy Johnson and won a Super Bowl with his players, but since the late 90's when most of Johnson's players were gone or ineffective, it's really been meh. The past 25 years or so have been his teams. No GM would have lasted 25 years given the Cowboys record. It's not terrible, but after two decades and the Lions have more NFC Championship Game appearances than you do, it's time for a change.

RandyMarsh Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago They may have won another but I think one of the only playoff games they won since the mid 90s was the PI game against us that they should've lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago They won with Switzer but the core of that team was Jimmy Johnson's players. By the late 90's, when those players left or were on the downside of their careers, it became Jerry's team, and it's been more or less mediocre for 25 years.

Motown Bombers Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Thinking about Joseph emerging as one of the top safeties in the league, and I’m reminded he was drafted with the comp pick for Kenny Golladay. Letting Golladay walk was possibly the first decision Holmes made as GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just like I thought, it was both leg bones. Looking at a closeup of the play, you could kinda tell. Gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
