So the Lions signed two OL

Mike from SI : 9/18/2017 11:20 pm
And are now somewhat competent on that side of the line? That's crazy.
You think that might have had something to do

with the fact that Stafford can make plays with his legs, since he was running for his life half the night?
Actually I think they brought in 3

offenive linemen. I could be wrong. Bottom line is if you want to fix your offense to win games, this is what you do. Reese is a huge failure along with Mcadoo.
What was Reese thinking by not bringing in a

Veteran to back up Flowers? It's baffling.

It's not that baffling. They're dumb like that.
Agreed

Spend the money
Pathetic

That Reese couldn't even pull off a minor OL trade
"But do they play special teams?!  
Mr. Nickels : 9/18/2017 11:26 pm : link
Muhhh special teams!!" - BBI Reach and Bmac
no one would make that connection

2 new OL for the Lions? pfft...  
SHO'NUFF : 9/18/2017 11:31 pm : link
The Vikings brought in 5 new starters.. but BBI said there was nobody out there.
Stafford was pressured all night  
Essex : 9/18/2017 11:33 pm : link
he was able to escape a lot of it, but he passed for 122 yards, let's not make it like their offense was a model of efficiency. They score on a short field and a punt return
Disgraceful

Should be reason for dismissal of our GM. The list of FA linemen signed by other teams is not short. We brought in a bust and drafted a guy late - sitton
Lang Leary wittworth - but we have money for next year - just like the Bears
Bengals Cardinals Saints - our peers
Consideration should be given to acquiring a new GM  
NYRiese : 9/18/2017 11:41 pm : link
And a new FO...they're not getting the job done.

Yep, Jerry is a coach killer. He hung the last guy out to dry and he's in the process of claiming a couple of other victims in the current HC and the 2 time Super Bowl MVP QB. The VP of pro player personnel is a relative so he's not going anywhere unless they make him Sr VP in charge of wiener temperature or something equally important.
Holy fuck

Did you watch the game? Do you understand what you are watching?

The Giants OL is shit, but Detroit's expensive line got pushed around all night.

Reese certainly deserves criticism, but not for failing to throw wads of cash at those schmucks on Detroit's line.

God damn. The ignorance around here is mind blowing.

Detroit started sitting on the ball in the 3rd quarter and ran out the last 4 minutes on the clock. WTF were you watching.
I think blame also goes to Solari as

coaches go to their assistants for input and he obviously conveyed that he could fix this! He's been around for two years, touted as a "guru" and he sucks IMHO! The line play is deteriorating fast with a QB who is going to get killed (on the back nine) if they don't figure this out soon! Moving guys around results in no continuity and they are forever having to learn new assignments and technique. This is really going to get much worse before it gets better.

The Lions line is terrible. Not a compelling example to strive for.

Were we watching the same game? How is Detroit's spending spree at all a success based on tonight?
Detroit's line certainly can run block better than ours

Detroit has a better O line, and once Decker comes back they will be about league average.
Bolles would have been the pick not Ingram if

Some people on this site may some coaching experience or are ex football players but they are far from the experts they may pretend to be.
