I can't believe our defense plays in the same league as these defenses

I'm surprised. The Lions' D has looked pretty trash lately. They've given up 30+ in three of the last four (the Bears being the lone exception).

But they did carry the team to a win earlier this year in a game where Goff threw 5 INTs. You don't see that stat line very often. QB threw 5 INTs in a win. LOL

He's decently mobile he just really struggles when you force him to think. He freezes up and then starts to panic. When he gets into "rabbit brain" mode even when he sees it he usually sails it high. It feels like the pick six is coming...

This is why he will never be a successful long term starter. It's all between his ears. Always has been.

And they lost Hutchinson pretty early in the year I believe. That kinda thing throws a bunch of game plans out the window

As of right now it's looking like O'Connell has hidden the real Darnold amidst a stacked roster like Shanahan managed to do with Purdy for a time. But it all comes to the forefront in the playoffs.

I haven't looked back at the Vikings level of competition over the season but the Lions definitely watched tape on bad Darnold habits and how to channel them

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
