Lions at Cardinals gameday thread 9-22-24

Hold them accountable? What do you mean? Fans don't have the power to hold anyone accountable.

Head coach

The worst part about today is the forum realizing that Kyler is still Kyler and we drafted an elite #2 WR.

Who said that?

Tough loss though for sure but the Lions are a better team.

There were some claiming this was a must win. I didn’t get it either.

 

[slanidrac16]

And as impressive as the d was in the second half, they couldn’t get the crucial final stop to give us a chance to tie.

Nah. The gave the offense plenty of chances to win this game. If you told me we held the Lions to 20 pts. I would have assumed we won.

 

[slanidrac16]

The thing I liked least about this game was both 4th down calls.

The first? Ok, not that bad to go for it but either sneak it with Tune or run Conner. You run wide it's into their strength which is speed.

Second time? Don't go for it. Too far, too early, punt it and pin them back.

That's what I think.

I agree. There was 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter but we left emotion get to us. Yes we had a pick and settling for a fg would hurt but the it would have made it 20-13. But going for it with nine minutes to go in the 4th quarter totally flipped the field.
We had 4 or 5 drives start inside our own 10 yard line.

Is there a free website that gives stats like percentage of balls caught, drops?

 

[BullheadCardFan]

We had 4 or 5 drives start inside our own 10 yard line.

That was really hard to overcome

 

[FB94]

You probably though Mayfield was the problem in Cleveland as well.

Don’t care about mayfield

 

[Red Bird]

Lions outplayed us in all 3 phases. They were my preseason SB pick, so I guess we’ll see how that holds up. I look at them as the blue print for how we want to slow cook this thing. Check out where they were at early 2022 and it wasn’t very impressive. We’re still on schedule overall imo.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Those back shoulder misses are the right throws. Marv just not recognizing.

Yeah and that’s an odd issue. I can’t recall ever seeing a qb and a starting receiver so not in the same page.

 

[kerouac9]

Yeah and that’s an odd issue. I can’t recall ever seeing a qb and a starting receiver so not in the same page.

Need more trips to UCLA maybe

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

The D also gave up 20 and couldn’t get a stop when they needed.

If you told me this d would hold that o to 20 I would have thought we won. They did give up two big first downs to effectively lose any chance at winning though. But they outplayed their talent in the second half.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Nah. The gave the offense plenty of chances to win this game. If you told me we held the Lions to 20 pts. I would have assumed we won.

Agreed. I just said as much. But when we asked them to do it one last time they faltered and then failed. That still counts.

 

[Gambler]

Yeah and that’s an odd issue. I can’t recall ever seeing a qb and a starting receiver so not in the same page.

No preseason and the 3rd game together? It takes time.

 

[GatorAZ]

Right my point is the question was is their window closed, my answer is I don't think you can tell without CMC, Deebo, and others.

I get the Rams are missing key guys too.

The Niners do this every year. In 2021 they lost 4 in a row and made the CG. In 2022 they started 4-4 and made the CG. Last year they lost 3 straight and made the SB. They want to win but don’t really care about the regular season.

 

[Dayman]

The offense lacks speed again. I would love to see Michael Carter come in and replace Benson's snaps. Carter adds a different element to the offense. Benson is just an extremely poor man's Conner right now.
