I think a ton of why the Lions recreated last night has to do with all the Ravens' defensive injuries upfront. The Ravens were missing some studs in their front 7. When Goff can be a statue and their run game gets going, the Lions have plenty of weapons to move the ball and look unstoppable. Limit the running game/short passing game to Gibbs early and make Goff move and that's a totally different looking offense. The Ravens, IMO, are overrated. They found a way to blow a double digit late 4th quarter lead against the Bills in Week 1 themselves. It's early, and in the NFL you're only as good as your last game - if the Lions run up 40 points and 450 yards of offense against Cleveland next Sunday (in Detroit) against the front the Packers just faced, then things start looking like Week 1 was an aberration and the Lions should be favored to win this division again. I think the odds are pretty low for that happening on the back of a 200+ yard rushing day against that Browns front, though. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a home blowout, but that's more on that Cleveland "offense" being on the road and likely setting the Lions up with short fields/turnovers and not doing much of their own on the scoreboard.

Game 3: Packers @ Browns - Sunday, Sept 21 12:00 PM

Some, maybe - but not the one he threw a pick on based on the entire O-line and RB dropping into pass pro the instant the ball was snapped, 6 guys in to block what turned out to be a 4 man rush. -

The entire game, the play calling was too conservative - playing not to lose leads to losses in the NFL. The Packers have an interior line/running between the tackles problem - yet MLF continued dialing up interior runs, likely to try and melt the clock faster. And yeah, losing Reed stinks - but that shouldn't turtle the passing game to the point where your starting running back gets more that twice as many passing targets as any other receiver due to checkdowns. Take away that long reception on a well-timed bubble screen and it's 8 targets for a total of 13 receiving yards. On that brutal INT, Love had time to throw and read the defense but he appeared to have a predetermined throw based on the coverage he thought the Browns were in. If he reads coverage, he'd see that the guy who jumped that route played a robber coverage and intercepted the pass just let Kraft run free up the seam with the weak side safety ~5 yards away from Kraft trying to close ground with no help over the top - there was a chance for a monster play had Love made the right read. I thought this was the game where Golden could really break out - he did lead them in receiving yards but I don't think he was targeted enough. Plus, if Love gives him a better throw in stride on the deep route Golden did catch it could've been a long TD with how open he was. -

Jacobs should never, ever be targeted 9 times in the passing game. Plus 16 carries running into a brick wall. Unimaginative offense against a really good defense played right into their hands and created the slim chance for a terrible Browns team to win with more GB special teams ineptitude. This looked like early 2023 Love, when we wondered aloud if they could score at all. He continues to make awful decisions where to go with the football in tight late game situations, too. A mini bye for this game plan? Inexcusable -
Nightly reminder that the Cubs own the tiebreaker. Since magic number is now one i guess that must mean they are about to get white hot!

Let's be honest - At their "peak", the Badgers still greatly benefitted from not having PSU, OSU, or Michigan in their division, plus those programs all took turns in some sort of scholarship/postseason bowl ban purgatory. The Badgers made hay by recruiting and developing players who would stick around through their 5th year, particularly up front on both sides of the ball. Them trying to play the same NIL game the bluebloods can with unlimited budgets and then have a staff seemingly incapable of developing players, and also losing their divisional advantage with the conference realignment/expansion is why this program now sucks. Im not all that disappointed though - college football is largely unwatchable for me no matter who is playing at this point.

That's pretty harsh - if Rob Z had anything tonight this is still a 1 run game and Anderson isnt also in this game getting shelled
-
One of those nights
-
Just a pile of excuse me hits by this annoying Card team... This ump is frustrating as hell, too...so is Rob Z.
-
The Cubs havent gained a single game in the standings on the Brewers in the last month - they arent running the table no matter who they play, and the Brewers arent going into an end of season free fall
-
I dont think its between his ears at all - i think he's fatigued and can't command what is still unhittable stuff if he was locating it anything close to what he was doing midseason.
-
Its all location - fastballs he is shooting tonthe corner or top of zone of 6 inches outside or high...ornright down the middle. Curve either isnt close or hangs in the zone Slider has zero command
-
They still have the tiebreaker- dont forget how much that means!
-
If McGill isn't back, I dont see how you can not keep Miz on the playoffs roster His stuff is still good enough where most mlb hitters are happy to keep the bat on their shoulders and hope for walks. If he is throwing strikes consistently then he suddenly looks amazing again. When he misses right now its not close. Cards are just trying to play pepper and wait him out
-
Cardinals had horseshoes in the field that inning - getting really good swings
-
That ball was smoked - dangit
-
I think he'd make a solid long guy in the pen for a playoff series - someone to come in if they get down a few runs in a game to keep the key pen arms rested and maybe catch lightning in a bottle for a few innings
-
Great defense on that play!
-
Its because nothing offspeed is getting thrown for a strike consistently, and he cant command a fastball for a high strike. Command is the 1st thing to leave a fatigued pitcher - just saying
-
Was Frelick playing in the stands on that?
-
Yep, absent the Phillies running the table, they're not making up 4 games with no head to heads left - and that probably wont be enough

This feels like a game where Golden has a big day if Love targets him - Browns will try to limit Kraft after his big game last week, and that should really free up some favorable one on one's with him in the slot. Also, they showed it just a little against Wash, but look for more of those jet sweep/wr runs to the perimeter with Golden and Williams to get away from that front 7 - the Browns have been solid against the run thus far. -
Well, the Cubs have the tiebreaker - which has to be like 7 games in the standings, so.... Fangraphs probably also is factoring the charmin-soft remaining Cub schedule. Just wait until we get into the season's second half... They can trade extra runs scored against previous losses to turn them into wins in the standings against these weak opponents!
