Post Lions Overreaction Thread 2024

It's still very early for this year's class, but Monti's draft picks aren't doing a whole lot outside of MHJ and Paris. I think replacing Wilson with Zay Jones will actually help the offense. Garrett Williams seems alright, but he hasn't really stood out. Stills had a good game today, but he didn't do anything the first two games.

For a GM who is so focused on drafting, this lack of production isn't super promising. Especially since Monti seems to have a penchant for drafting older players.

Maybe he has been hanging out with James Jones of the Suns.

Defense played better than I thought, however still could not get off the field first half, and couldn’t make a crucial stop late. Still need talent infusion on dline and edge. On offense started good and just like the Dbacks fall of a cliff for majority of the game after. KM and MHJ still need to iron things out, lots of plays that should have been made. I will still take a 2-2 start considering we played two Super Bowl contenders

 

[football karma]

the 2 minute warning thing was just plain ole bad luck.

what wasnt was letting them hand the ball off on 3rd and 12 and pick up the first down.

I think we are seeing just how good Fitz and Hopkins were on contested balls -- MHJ will get better but he just isnt very good in those situations.

I think most expected a loss with Beachum out, it sucked because the game seemed so winnable. The offense doesn't function if we can't run the ball, on top of that Kyler just had a bad game. I hope Kyler didn't tweak his ankle too bad, it seemed off after he got stepped on in the 1st quarter.

 

[Yer_da_sells_avon]

We fudged it today. It was a combination of forcing it and not playing our game

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Wilson has improved, he still body catches too much but I think he's significantly better than last year. But with Dortch not 100% today it was really obvious how slow we were.

Dorth is a great gimmicky #4 WR.

But is useless on the 50/50 stuff which is why we need Zay in there

The D held their own today however Kyler did not.

Dear lord.

The D was terrible today.

They gave up

20

Points

And

Couldn’t stop the Rams when needed.

Yep what does that have to do with a poor defensive performance?

What is wrong with Conner? Last year he was breaking tackles on every play. This year nothing. 17 total yards.

Who in the hell is throwing a 50/50 ball to a guy that's 5'8?
This is some BIG BRAIN stuff that only the Cardinals try to do.

If you out score them you win

Is scoring 13 points acceptable?

 

[K1Day1]

I would like to be negative but they actually did better than I personally had predicted against a team that was a couple of plays away from going to the Super Bowl. Especially after watching the defense in the first game and the first half of this game. Must admit that I only got to watch the first half of this game.

Nope and neither is giving up 20.

This was my thinking as well. I was expecting the Cardinals to give up 20 points.

Missed gm booooooooo on losin at home to fing lion

Really wish murray magic would show up.more often.........

That would have been good enough to be the 9th ranked defense last year. If that’s not good enough for you, you must have a very limited understanding of football.

 

[AZfaninMN]

Nope and neither is giving up 20.

The league average is 21.1 points per game so technically the defense was above average today

MHJ’s drops are a definite concern

 

[Cheesebeef]

Outside of the somewhat alarming lack of chemistry between Kyler and Marv, what bothers me most about this team is their total lack of identity.

Last year at least they were a plucky team who ran the ball well and gave teams a better game than most expected.

This team… not sure what they are. Today’s game was about as mid a performance as I can possibly imagine. But maybe that’s just what this team is… a total mid 7 or 8 win team. Uninspiring, while not infuriating. Just kind of a big ball of meh.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

My overreaction is we coached scared.

We passed on going for it on 4th and inches when the defense was gassed.

We ran it 3 straight times after a turnover and then passed on the FG down by 10.

We apparently game planned the go route to Harrison to stop the rush and never deviated from that.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Dortch is a great gimmicky #4 WR.

He's a craptastic punt returner. He put us in multiple holes to start drives

 

[PJ1]

We lost the battle of the trenches on both sides of the ball. Surprisingly we did a decent job at RT. Lions just a more physical team.

 

[slanidrac16]

we can make the playoffs.
This division is going to be the last man standing. Seattle will come back to earth. The 49ers blew a lead to a team we clocked.

Today , we lost. We scraped and clawed but came up short. You lose games for reasons and they usually are different from game to game.

Today the offense let us down. The defense held our opponent to 20 pts. And had 6 pts. Taken off the board.

Let’s move on and beat Washington and we will be back to .500. Then bring on the niners. I really believe we are going to play a roll on who gets in the playoffs. One of those teams may just be us.

 

[blindseyed]

I don't know, I just think the team we saw today is the actual team we are...who knows, according to JG we'll have to wait until after next week to know who we are lol
