Game Day finally! Week 1 - SNF - Rams 🐏 at Lions 🦁

Just a little too high for LaPorta on third down. That Sam actually almost got that is impressive on its own.

Thought that was a throw away when it came out of his hands…guess LaPorta’s got some hops

Huge FG to increase Bates’ confidence so that he comfortably kicks the game winner later on.

Wonder if the Lions defense will adjust on this next possession after the Rams killed them on passes underneath. or if it’s worth doing so as a strategy. Pick 6 opportunity if a Lions DB guesses right.

Rams coming to play defensively.

Teams are going to look to take away LaPorta and Sun God. Someone else has to step up. This was part of my concern with the WR core. Jamo or someone else has to beat them. If they are able too, it’s done

Teams have always been able to dink and dunk on the Lions defense, and the Lions are going to let them do it. There are not many teams that can play that sort of offense reliably, and the Rams aren't really one of them.

[chemiclord]

Now THAT is a play the Lions can't let happen too often. You get the nil play, then have terrible containment on the edge to give up a first down.

[mason reese]

What is the extra long black strap some of the players are wearing?

[froot loops]

There is no adjustment to be made, you have to give up the short stuff

Yep. If the Rams are going to keep trying 16-play scoring drives, that's an offense you let them run.

[Iron Lion]

Can we get a fuckin stop

[Lionsfan123]

Nice defensive stand

[Iron Lion]

Theres a fuckin stop

[GALion68]

Great stop

[chemiclord]

Rams fail on 4th and 4. That's why you happily let them have the short stuff. They're likely to short circuit at some point.

[Cody_Russell]

Ok, now I appreciate the bend/ don’t break . Great job on the first 3 possessions, Lions defense.

Deep Jamo shot. Do it.

People forget how much Nucua torched the Lions in the playoff game. If Stafford is going to throw the ball in 2.6 seconds, you have to make sure you tackle well. You aren't getting to him
