Lions get away with a lot.

When the Lions can use all of their weapons and Goff can deliver everything on time, its a pretty hard offense to stop.

The market speaks when it comes to that.  It's the easiest replaceable position on offense.  Barkley could only average 3.9 ypc last year because the Giants o-line wasn't very good.  Now he's averaging 6.1ypc because he's on a better o-line.

It’s “easiest” to replace in regards to what the league has become - an aerial show. But it’s clear what value a good to great RB has on a winning offense. In truth, all skill positions on offense are easily replaceable. The QB and the OL make that side of the ball go.

They need to change that runoff rule. GB did nothing wrong and are penalized.

Definitely.  They did it right though and made their o-line a priority.

Sewell is an absolute monster of a tackle. Career is on HoF trajectory.

Dan Campbell has to go for it

Did some drunkard yell "The NFL is fixed!!"?

 

LMAO

The hardest skill position to find is an outside WR who can create separation as there's a scarcity of those.  That's why you see the elite one's making 30 plus million a year.

Looked way too easy

Deferring the opening kickoff killed GB in hindsight.

 

Let up an opening TD to start and a TD to end the half lol

Killed? They can make it a 3 point game to start the second half.

They are not being penalized at all. If they called it correctly at first the clock would have been running. GB would have used a TO right away. Same outcome.

Nice for route by Gibbs. Gutsy call and great execution. 

[peterpan]

This lions team looks killer

If your QB is a great one and your OL gives him time, he can make any WR productive. When I say that RBs should be paid more, never mind the fact they touch the ball 2-3x as much as your #1 receiver, but is Saquon Barkley’s value to an offense at $13M/yr that much less than Justin Jefferson’s value at $35M/yr? We already have that answer as Barkley is currently 2nd among MVP odds. He deserves to be paid more given what he brings to an offense. 

[HomeTeam]

#97 on GB looks like a great player. First time I've really watched GB. 

[Low Positive]

Every time I watch the Lions this year, they run out to a big led and then play scared in the second half and the game is close. Also, the Packers have been a second-half team all year.
