So....why do you think Goff is better than Jackson?  🤣🤣🤣

After that juke Goff put on the defender last week for the 1st down, I'm beginning to think he is better than Jackson. 

[RandyMarsh]

Doesnt Goff have a better playoff record than Lamar? If so in some circles that means you're the superior qb.

[Motown Bombers]

He's played in more Super Bowls than Jackson. I need to know what Jackson's record is against teams above 500 on the road.

I see ragnow out for this game. Injury prone center. Couldn’t play last year because of a stubbed toe and already injured after 1 game this season.

Frustrating for sure.  Not even at game 2 and we are down 40% of the starting OL and Jonah Jackson is questionable.

News staring to come out that it’s actually a toe injury on the same foot for Ragnow.  He missed the whole year last because of it.  I really hope this is the same thing but this isn’t sounding good.

Unrelated to the game but I just thought it was cool to see the city of Detroit has produced the 3rd most NFLers. Im honestly a bit shocked by that cause I dont think many people think of Detroit as a football prospect hotbed.

Another toe injury.  Unbelievable.

Evan Brown was a strong replacement last year. The line can still have strong performances starting Decker/Jackson/Brown/Stenburg/Sewell,but one more down (particularly Jackson) and the line becomes a liability.

its disappointing not to have ragnow but brown was more than capable last year.

jackson would be a big loss because there is no one else to take his place.

There likely goes any chance of a sustainable run game.

Practice Squad LG, Backup C, and 3rd String RG by week two. Unbelievable.

[sagnam]

We will learn a lot about the Lions tomorrow.  Good teams can weather these kinds of injuries against mediocre teams.

[Hongbit]

We haven’t really mentioned that Oruwariye is also on the Questionable list.  Don’t want to be down a starting corner either. 

[Jason_R]

Remember all of that talk about maybe the Lions can win ten this year? They barely have a strong starting 22, let alone a solid 53. 

Also, at what point does Ragnow get labeled “injury prone”?

I want to make sure I put it on record that I unequivocally, absolutely, 100%, no doubt, affirmatively believe as of September 16th in the year 2022 that Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. is a better QB than Jared Thomas Goff. I will bookmark this post for when @KL2 comes by in a year from now and accuses me of saying that I said Goff was a better QB than Jackson.

With that having been said, I'm leery on committing draft picks and a record contract to a guy that relies heavily on his legs. I'm also hesitant since Baltimore appears hesitant to commit to him long term since they are one of the best run franchises in the NFL. This is in no way, shape or form an endorsement that Goff is better than Jackson or even preferred long term over Jackson. I still prefer trading for an established veteran like Jackson over trading picks for a rookie QB. I also reserve the right to change my mind on this stance as the season plays out. 

Feels like you're saying that Goff is better than Jackson. 🤮 I don't understand how you could think that.

Don't care about the O-Line injuries.  You need to win.  All the love goes out the window if they look bad today. 

[buddha]

second game of the season and 3/5 of the starting offensive line is out.  starting cb is out too.

if it werent for bad luck we wouldnt have any.

While I am more focused on seeing good coaching and significant player improvement week over week than wins, I think the majority of fans are not of this mindset. Feels like it is going to be a looooooong season, with a lot of complaining from fans if they lose today. As you mentioned, it feels like a game where if they lose, a lot of the good will built by this regime and coaching staff is going to start to fade.

First time at ford field!  Let’s get this damn thing.

They've played one game and their OL is decimated. And Swift may be out? SOL...just don't play in the preseason...they may get hurt...🤔🤔

[Motor City Sonics]

Something tells me they are getting their arse kicked today.   

[buddha]

welp.

[Motor City Sonics]

Brutal...........Absolutely Brutal first drive.   Now this awful defense will have a short field.   . 

 

What a kick by the Punter.   Team MVP.

Crowd is into it still........................don't let them down.
