The Rams held Amon Ra and Gibbs in check (which sucked for my fantasy team), so Jamo and Montgomery just took over.  Montgomery was that dude last year, but if Jamo can finally live up to all of the talent he oozes, that is massive.

yeah if Jamo plays like he's capable of this team becomes really hard to stop because it has probably the best OL in football and has so many options and different ways to attack with Amon Ra over the middle of the field and racking up YAC, La Porta is a total mismatch for LBs/Safeties at TE, and Montgomery & Gibbs in the backfield, not to mention Ben Johnson is just an amazing OC. You add an elite deep threat burner that can take the top off a defense at any time? Forget about it. Not to mention they overhauled the secondary in a huge way and got Hutch a little bit of help.

Haven't seen a Lions team this good in oh, ever.

Hutch a little bit of help.

Supposedly, but he was still the entire pass rush.  Granted if they just guys good enough to limit his double teams, that might be enough

Seems like his last name should be Watt.

Beast!!

Beast got one sack and almost caused Stafford to have a bad game

you clearly didn’t watch the game. 

Rams only scored 20 points including an overtime. that is nothing in an NFL game. 

Stafford should’ve had 4 INT’s and every single pass called by McVey was designed for Stafford to get rid of the ball and under 10 yards in the air in under 2 seconds. First read pre-determined throw. Stafford was lit up or running for his life on any throw where he actually had to drop back and throw it down the field. 90% of his completions were cheap little dinks and dunks where the ball is out in under 2 seconds. Guy was running for his life on any other pass attempt.

musta looked like Deion's kid in Lincoln

but, to your point, the deal in Lincoln was a team defense effort

Deion's kid is a legit 1st round NFL QB prospect. Not his fault his OL and RB's blow and his dad is a bit of a jackass. 

As far as the actual Lions-Rams game goes, Stafford only threw 1 INT but he had 3 more that should've been picked and defenders just didn't come up with the play. Stafford is an all-time great talent and probably the most underrated QB in NFL history. If he wasn't stuck in Detroit on some really awful teams for the vast majority of his career he'd be talked about as an all-time great because his toughness and his arm talent are the ELITE of the elite who have ever played the game. Any other average Joe QB who isn't a superstar like Stafford, Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, or fill in the blank and the Rams get blown out of that game. Stafford was making RIDICULOUS throws- which he always does- and making it look easy- which it ain't. Stafford was getting rid of that ball instantly on top of the ridiculous throws- and the ridiculous throws are just par for the course that dude- he's made them his entire career.

Sacks are important but also pretty randomized events. Pressures are more important. Consistent pressures I should say. If you're consistently winning your pass rush vs the OL and getting heat on the QB- you're more than doing your job. Sometimes pressures wind up in sacks, sometimes they don't- but getting the QB off his spot or forcing him to rush his throw consistently will lead to INT's and incompletions and if you can win your pass rushes and pressure the QB at a very high clip the sacks should eventually come but even if they don't- your teammates getting INT's or the QB throwing incomplete passes is bound to happen and you did your job as a pass rusher.

Browns giving up the farm and trading for a cooked DeShaun Watson and giving him the largest guaranteed contract ever will go down as one of the all-time worst trades in NFL history...

Herschel Walker trade for Minn/Dallas is way up there for all-timers.
