Washington @ Detroit Game Thread

I don't know what makes me more sad. No bills lions or the fact the commanders still have knee caps.

I feel bad for Detroit but, at the same time, I don’t recall the general NFL populace throwing sympathy our way last year when we our defense was shredded with injuries against KC.

 

You're definitely right about that... We were calling guys on vacation to unretire and start in a playoff game...

 

I just mean we can relate

Right. I mean, who doesn’t like the Lions? Except when they’re playing us of course.

that is silly.  Their defense let them down...so many 4th down conversions allowed...zero pass rush

I’d probably be drafting some mid-late round qbs if I was Detroit out of mild concern…yea the defense was bad but that’s pretty independent of how Goff played.  It’s not the first time Goff has had a down game at the worst possible time in a great offensive system.  And the wizard behind that previous offensive system felt he had to take a huge swing at qb cuz Goff just wasn’t quite good enough

Think we’ll hear about how their window is closed?

They play in a dome so that shouldn't be a problem.

Can't help but wonder if the Lions make a move at qb this off-season 

The qb was at fault for the last int…..

Sense of relief now, but feel sorry for them...

Losing starters makes a difference against the best teams

Philly is the only NFC East team we haven’t played in the Super Bowl…

Have always despised that team.

They’ve been bad for most of the season after sustaining so many injuries.  The offense and game script really helped them out a lot.

Their D has been decimated by injuries.

I think goff is a good guy and I want to root for him, but I think he's a much better version of Derrick carr. He shows flashes of elite play, and the fan base always says "if we just surround him with talent" well he's got elite pass catchers, elite OL, and maybe the best run game in the NFL. And here they are getting bounced again because he couldn't  put on a cape and win a game with his talent, like a josh, lamar, joe or mahomes.

True. Probably the only time I rooted for the Eagles . Loved that game.

Ok but how does that improve Jared Goff lol this was the commanders…yea maybe you find a way past them with a healthier defense but it was just the first step.  They’d still have to get through the eagles and whoever is in the Super Bowl.  Do you have full confidence in Goff to get that done?  I l think it’s pretty fair to have doubts especially when you couple it with getting pantsed by belichick in the superbowl with the rams and one of the best offensive minds in the nfl giving up on him 

 

not to mention Ben Johnson is leavin so that could have a negative impact too 

 

idk why we’re so hellbent on choosing one thing to get all the blame in a game lol. The defense was bad of course, but Goff wasn’t good either

So, how are the Lions fans dealing with this loss?

 

[Ralonzo]

Kinda feeling for Dan Campbell at his press conference, half breaking down... I'll allow them to win one of the next 4 Superb Owls just so the world doesn't get bored of the Bills 4-peat.
