The offensive line is really, really good. The defensive line is really, really good. Goff and Gibbs are playing at an elite level. ARSB and JaMo are as explosive a WR duo as there is, LaPorta is an elite TE, even Teslaa looks like a legit WR3. The LBs are good but overtaxed.

The secondary has to be patched, but even teams with no talent can put up a fight. They can’t even hold up for a matter of seconds. This is a team that, for the first time since Dan got hired, isn’t going in the same direction, and it’s on him to fix that or this will be a waste.

It’s frustrating how much individual talent the Lions have to look this bad. The secondary is a dumpster fire, but no lack of talent makes you historically terrible, especially when the pass rush in front of you is really good. Brad needs to upgrade, but problem #1 is coaching.
Lions players ranked in the Top 10 at their position heading into Week 5, per @PFF -Juice Scruggs: 1st -Penei Sewell: 2nd -Aidan Hutchinson: 2nd -Christian Mahogany: 3rd -Malcolm Rodriguez: 4th -Jahmyr Gibbs: 4th -Jack Fox: 6th -Sam LaPorta: 6th -Jared Goff: 7th

Preseason is what it is, but yeah he’s not an NBA player anymore. I don’t think he sees another contract.
20 mins, 1 point, 0/6 FG, -12 I cannot do 82 more games of this guy

Luka looks like he’s in amazing shape. He actually looks trim. That’s going to be great for his durability this season. It could also be that playing against the Kings makes everyone look amazing.

Meanwhile Domas is 30 and he has the grizzled look of a 47 year old.

Just get out of Okorie’s way and let him cook Made sitting through this game worth it. Good for him.

Chaz does not care out there and when you’re the 15th man on the roster you can’t not care, even in preseason.

Chaz, at least pretend like this last minute is situational practice That shot is not going to endear you to anyone, even if you had hit it

Kevin Huerter never gets credit for being as good defensively as he is.

Ausar’s form looks about the same, but he’s a little more comfortable shooting from the elbow, at least

The Suns have come to Michigan for preseason every year since Mat Ishbia bought the team and this pretty much how it’s gone every time. Would not read too much into anything.

A lot of new faces, a lot of early turnovers. That was inevitable.

Sure, reward Dillon Brooks for being a tool. Sounds fair.

Fun fact: the Pistons traded this man for a future 2nd round pick that was redeemed 10 years later.
Random Detroit coach of the day: The late Dick Versace! Assistant coach to Chuck Daly in the late 80s.

Jared Goff is completing 68% of his passes in 4 games. Top-4 in both yards and passer rating among QBs that have played every game. That’s as flawless as he’s gonna get. 9TDs, 0 INTs. What should scare people is if he hadn’t played turnover free football, Lions are probably 0-4

Outside of one draft of one draft he’s no different than Millen.
