2022 NFL Thread

I'm not even bothering to learn Owuwaries name, because he shouldn't be in the NFL

[ELA]

Lol, the ref accidentally stopped the clock so the Seahawks get a second chance at 3rd down, because of course

And on the re-do, the Seahawks score a 36 yard TD

And they've now picked up the flag twice on Seattle penalties.  Unreal, if it wasn't the most Lions thing ever

[ELA]

Hutchinson gets baited and pinned inside on every run play.  I liked him over Thibodaux based on Hutchinson being the worse pass rusher, but better all around player, but he continuously gets smoked on run plays.  If this is who he is, that is yet another draft whiff by the Lions

[ELA]

Lions, without their top RB, 4 of their top 5 WRs, and 2 starting OL, put up 41 points, and will still lose to Geno Smith, because our entire front seen is trash

This has to be the worst DL in the NFL

He's a better player than Thibedoux. By a lot. It's his 4th NFL game ever. Relax. He's playing through injury, and looked like he injured his arm. He was leading all NFL rookies in pressures through 3 games. He plays for a meat head coach, a DC who is terrible, and on a god awful shit defense. They need to replace the head coach, defensive staff, and get some players around him- because the team just kinda sucks.

yeah so looks like DK Metcalf was 100% correct on that ish he was talking about Okudah. DK was right- he's not a #1 CB.

Can't wait for the Lions to lose to Brian f***ing Hoyer next week

He's good against speed guys.  He can't physical up a freak like Metcalf.  And it doesn't help that his whole DL is total shit, and the CB playing opposite him drew 6 flags last week

it's the worst defense period in the NFL. Their LB's are hot f**king garbage as is their secondary. They need a complete rebuild on that side of the ball. Need co-ordinator change, need to draft heavy defense in 2023, spend $$$$$ on defensive F/A's, and need to make a trade or two if possible for some defensive players before the Nov 1 deadline. I'd do whatever it took to try and get Roquan Smith from Chicago. Not sure they'd trade in the division- but I'd sure as hell try.

get used to losing...they had the #2 pick in the draft for a reason- this team sucks. So does it's coaching staff. They need to take a hatchet to the coaching staff in the off-season. Only coach I'd keep is Ben Johnson. Sh*t I'd actually probably promote him to head coach and replace everyone else.

he's a reliable, startable NFL CB. Never said he wasn't. I think he's a good player, but nothing beyond that. Still think it was a bad #3 pick. You don't take a starting CB that high- you take a generational one that high. He's not that- and never was that in college. It was just a stupid pick. Hockenson was an ASS #8 overall pick as well. Part of the reason why the Lions have sucked forever. Their drafting has been atrocious and stupid.

They take Herbert at #3 that Okudah draft and Rashan Gary or Jeffrey Simmons that Hockenson draft- this is a whole different team. 

Going to take a few more solid drafts to fix their issues. I 100% believe Holmes will fix it.

It's sad when Hockenson is only the second biggest waste of a pick on a TE in recent memory (Eric Ebron).  And Brandon Pettigrew is out there too as a mid 1st round pick.  This organization just loves tight ends

Lions are a shit org. This team DL and Hutchinson would look A LOT better as a rookie if he's playing opposite Rashan Gary or next to Jeffrey Simmons. Those are two ELITE DL right now in the NFL. How the EFF you take a TE over a DL is literally beyond me....but whatever- that's the Lions for you. 

Goff's cap hit is $31.5 million this year. Herbert's cap hit is $7.2 million. Not only is Herbert a vastly superior player- but they'd have had an extra $24 million in cap space in 2022 to play around with and sign guys for that defense if Herbert is their QB on his rookie deal. 

Margins of error in the NFL is razor thin because these teams are so close talent level wise. Few elite players can seriously push one team over the top. Holmes had his work cut out for him cleaning up this mess- but I think he's doing it. The coaching staff is legit trash though. Bunch of f**king meatheads. They have to clean house. Campbell has got to go.
