A Win is a Win in the 313

As a day 1 Detroit Lions fan, from the 0-16 season and all, the Lions vs Saints game is the same roller coaster game that it has been for the last 28 years of my life. I went from "This is finally the year the Detroit Lions are going to win the Super Bowl" to "This team may lose every game this year." There are a lot of great things that happened in the game, but also a lot of questions and worries for the rest of the season that will hopefully be answered. 

The Detroit Lions offense was great scoring 31 points and the offense succeeding in all sections. Jared Goff chants were echoing all around the stadium as they threw for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns, it was not a jaw dropping season, but did everything that he needed to do to win the game. Amon-Ra St. Brown was the star of the game receiving wise catching 10 receptions for 67 yards and 2 touchdowns. Sam LaPorta was a great comeback game having 5 receptions for 48 yards. Jameson Williams did not have a break out game like he had one last year, but the way he runs his routes and how open he gets, he will be having a successful season. 

                                                       

Jahmyr Gibbs was everything he was hyped up to be… Last year week 1 against the packers he did not play that well, being stopped at the line of scrimmage multiple times, but this season, he was everywhere and could not be stopped. Career high 29 carries for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns. The offensive line was top notch with only allowing 1 sack during the game and being in complete control of the line of scrimmage, everything on the offensive side was going there way, and 31 points should win the game easily, right?

Nope… the game was too close with them winning 31-30 with the Saints having a failed 2 pt conversion in overtime. The Detroit Lions defense was playing amazing in the first half allowing 0 points, but then allowing 30 in the second half/overtime is brutal. They had multiple turnovers in the first half with fumble recoveries and interceptions, but they allowed over 410 yards of passing will not have the Lions succeed throughout this season. The pass rush was fine, having 5 sacks in the game, but there were many times when Tyler Shough had too much time in the pocket to throw all over the defense. They kept blitzing the safety that was not making it to the quarterback in time and made the secondary vulnerable. They Lions defense was successful stopping the run, but the pass defense is concerning getting ready for the Buffalo Bills in 4 days. 

All in all, the Detroit Lions are 1-0 and have a big time game against the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo for the Thursday Night Game.

  We. Are. Back.  This show is on my TV at all times of the day, morning, evening, night, during dinner, after dinner, when I am mad, happy, angry, bored, this show is for everything. First off, it feels like there are 5 different versions of Below Deck on at all times, when one finishes, another one is about to premier, it's a never-ending TV show it will make my Monday evenings amazing at all times.  Now this 10th season looks like it could be a little more exciting than the usual gossip and drama going on. The trailer showing what will happen in the future of the show you see make outs, tears, anger, and even a baby? I have just finished the first episode, and this is what I have gotten so far from it.  First off with the Captain, Captain Sandy. She is a fan favorite, always helpful and always seems very caring for her employees. For this season, so far, my only worry is the hires that she made for this season was for who she likes, but not what would have this se...

Detroit Lions Pregame Expectations

  Detroit Lions vs Cleveland Browns at Detroit, it should be a great game, but I am thinking it will be a lot closer than expected. The Lions played an impressive game against the Ravens, this would be a heart breaker to lose a game that everyone in Detroit is so confident about. There are a couple of things I am very curious what questions will be answered for the game.  Will they be able to stop this man? Myles Garrett, one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the NFL the last couple of years. This man could make a difference in the whole game. The pass rush, the run stops, the pressure given to everyone, I am very curious if the Detroit Lions, who are very good this year, be able to still run and pass easily like they have been able to do the last couple of weeks. Will David Montgomery start to get as many reps than he did last week? He did an incredible job against the Ravens having over 130 yards rushing and I am curious if he will be having as many rushes and if he ...
