It's one game, so I am not going to draw many conclusions and certainly not many beyond decisions and performances in one game. 

It's just one game, but it's kinda not.

We saw the run defense be garbage through most of last year. That it starts off looking the same is...discouraging.

They had 8 sacks and we had 0. Ugh, Riddick may just indeed be missed.

Looking for droped passes. I remember 2 for the Browns but wanted to see how that played into the passing game and pass D. Couldn't find it tho.

 

Honestly, I started feeling thus way last year, but I feel like Week 1 of this season confirmed it...  YGM seems like a bust.

the whole D line besides Burns seems like a bust. And Burns isn't as good as people say he is. Its been years and hes the king of "Almost got it." Ive seen him whiff on so many sacks and that stupid play of him hugging Brisetts leg while Brisset just throws the ball away got me fuming. Burns is a decent DE but he's no super star. And everyone else on the dline is a god damn bum. 

Burns would be a perfect #2 DE if we had a bonifide #1 Peppers type on the other side.

Yep, like I said, I am not looking for a huge move toward the middle in that rating, unfortunately.  We entered this game with it as a concern, the results confirmed that concern (or made it a fear), and the results Sunday would have been worse had the Browns committed to the run for the stretch where they seemed to confuse Brissett with Rodgers.  Our opponent Sunday could abuse us again in that area.

If we are walking away with any conclusions from week 1, it is that this specific area of concern in genuine.  Nor do I think Snow has any answers, and there may not be any good ones on the roster.

They were officially credited with 4 sacks. Myles Garret lead the team with 2 sacks with 4 other Cleveland defenders recording a 0.5 sack

Lol my bad. It was their preseason stats. Tuesday and lots of stuff still not updated. Good catch, I was like where the hell did some of those come from.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
