Frank Ragnow was the MVP of the offense. Good for him to retire while he still can but it sucks not having him on the field
Man, Goff accuracy goes down if he gets moved off the spot.

The interior OL has to get better or this season goes down the drain.

The Lions are likely going to need at least 2 new starters in 2026 (T and C/G)

Hopefully, those guys are on the roster Manu/Frazier but we have no actual evidence either are ready.
The blueprint for beating the Lions is clear: stop the run, interior pass rush.

Remaining run defense DVOAs:
NYG: 32 (worst)
GB: 8
DAL: 29
LAR: 5
PIT: 24
MIN: 13
CHI: 25

Here’s the bottom line with Hutch and the “lack of need for EDGE.”

He’s playing WAY too many snaps and it’s catching up to him. He’s playing undisciplined and losing efficiency.

You can say the depth is fine there, but they don’t have anybody that they will put on the field to give him a break.

Absolutely amazing question
Dan Campbell said his offense needed to score touchdowns in the red zone. He said it needed to convert on fourth down.

But is Campbell’s desire to win games with his offense still necessary when his defense has turned a corner?

And is it time to adjust?

Lions offense stumbles, and maybe it’s time Dan Campbell leaned into his defense
"There’s some things I wish I would’ve done differently," Lions coach Dan Campbell said after the Lions' loss Sunday night.

Shiela should reimburse Dan for anything he gets fined for and this team needs to lay into the officiating HARD so this type of shit stops.

It’s just unreal that the refs can’t stop shitting on this team in big moments.

This was my biggest concern with Frank retiring. The interior OL is not invincible anymore.

He had the occasional bad game, but every other game he cleaned up so much.

The interior pressure is getting to Goff more this year and look at the games when it happens. GB, KC, MIN and tonight.

The Lions didn’t deserve to win tonight, but they sure as hell didn’t deserve to lose like THAT
November 17, 2025 at 4:29 AM
That is a chicken shit call

The Lions need to get back to drafting players that are not multi year projects in the middle rounds and wasting picks trading up.

They have Manu, Vaki and TeSlaa that are doing almost nothing.

You’re telling me there weren’t depth pieces that can actually play?

It’s remarkable how bad this offensive line looks tonight.

Just can’t execute against this front.
November 17, 2025 at 4:13 AM
Lions have been absolutely manhandled in 3 of their 4 losses and the 4th was a home loss to a turds Vikings team they had no business losing to.

It’s not time to panic, but it’s getting into pretty concerning territory.

Boy, if there was ever a time for a blocked field goal, this would it
November 17, 2025 at 3:53 AM
Not an illegal hit by Campbell, but he didn’t need to do it
November 17, 2025 at 3:47 AM
Collinsworth just hit it on the head. Goff’s process is sped up and it makes them predictable.

There are aren’t even wheels to fall off tonight. This car is sitting on cinder blocks.

Finally getting Monty on the edge. Get behind Sewell and start slamming

When Goff gets rattled early in the game, it takes too long for him to build his confidence back up.

A few years ago, it took games to bounce back. Now it takes several drives.
November 17, 2025 at 3:37 AM
This is the game, this drive
November 17, 2025 at 3:30 AM
I’m not sure what is happening on money downs. Stop going into the strength of the D
November 17, 2025 at 3:25 AM
Now it’s on the defense to prove they can respond to the Eagles moving the ball on that last drive
November 17, 2025 at 3:11 AM
I’m not terribly optimistic about this one at the half. The Lions dodged a few bullets in the first half and kept it close, but lack any consistency to give a lot of hope.
November 17, 2025 at 3:05 AM
Not the night to get a penalty on the extra point

lol Dickerson absolutely jumped and pretended to be making an audible ... at guard

Not liking some of the decision making here
November 17, 2025 at 2:18 AM
I don’t love trying to go right behind two backup Gs on consecutive short yardage plays.
