Nice tackling. Amazing how these DBs don’t use the sideline.

 

[BobbyLayne]

ties Joe Fauria for Lions rookie TE TD record

Fauria lives in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) now, I see him from time to time

Had the best touchdown dances but couldn’t stay healthy

 

[travdogg]

Sam LaPorta's current career trajectory is what, Gronk?

Jordan Reed if he could have stayed healthy? At least as a guy under 6-5 250.

Maybe Mark Andrews?

I hate to compare anyone to Gronk, because he had OT strength, and probably would be universally considered the best TE of all-time if he'd had better health.

 

[BobbyLayne]

run D looking good tonight

you earn the right to rush the passer

 

[Zeppelin]

This looks like a totally different defense.

 

[rockaction]

Sam LaPorta's current career trajectory is what, Gronk?

Gronk didn't look like DBs belonged on the field with him. His blocking was sick.

LaPorta is never going to be Gronk. He's excellent, but Gronk was a unicorn.

 

[travdogg]

Good thing I drafted Kincaid over LaPorta in a rookie draft.........thrice

I wouldn't call that race yet. Being tied to Josh Allen long-term is worth a lot.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I feel like very few teams can pass protect this year

 

[dmac37]

Lions really turning it on now, LFG!

Fair, I meant more in terms of production. Like it's wild to see a rookie play this well.

 

[BobbyLayne]

nice

 

[FarFromHome]

So fast

Yeah, fair. I just meant arc of production. Gronk had those 10 TDs as a rookie. It's hard to really quantify what Sam is doing.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Gibbs is so good

 

[rockaction]

What a throw by Goff and then a nice run by Gibbs.

It's Ja-mayer

Not Ja-mir?

 

[GrantK]

Wow is Gibbs quick!

 

[BobbyLayne]

no screens goodness that was bad

 

[Zeppelin]

Jamo with a great run after catch.

 

[Ilov80s]

Jamo is all of a sudden a thing

 

[BobbyLayne]

Jamo getting more than 2 targets what is going on here

 

[Cowboysfan8]

3 carries for 30 yds. Another nice one called back. Pull him and throw a screen to Montgomery lol

 

[Zeppelin]

Gibbs!!!!!!!

 

[BobbyLayne]

love it

 

[Gottabesweet]

Gibbs drives are so much more exciting I feel like everything opens up. The fans cheer when he runs on.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Explosions

 

[Ilov80s]

Gibbs has a 1000/1000 yard season in him if the breaks fall right

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Yahtzee!

 

[JoeJoe88]

Gibbs is so damn smooth.

 

[karl.Racki]

Gibbs has a 1000/1000 yard season in him if the breaks fall right

Just imagine his numbers if Det ever becomes smart and makes him their starter.

 

[FarFromHome]

Gibbs has a 1000/1000 yard season in him if the breaks fall right

Absolutely.

 

[Penguin]

These aren't your father's Detroit Lions

 

[Zeppelin]

Jamo with 5 targets already...it's about ****ing time.

 

[BobbyLayne]

started Goff + LaPorta + Gibbs

 

[Ilov80s]

Gibbs is so damn smooth.

Really is, he just glides

 

[dmac37]

Awesome to see Goff returning to early season form after a bad stretch including early this game.

 

[Ilov80s]

started Goff + LaPorta + Gibbs

TDx4

 

[travdogg]

Gibbs has a 1000/1000 yard season in him if the breaks fall right

Gonna be tough to hit 1000 receiving with ARSB and LaPorta around.

I have found it a little odd how Gibbs hasn't been the weekly snap leader by this point. Monty is fine, but Gibbs makes the offense so much harder to defend.

 

[karl.Racki]

Best RB2 in the game?

 

[FarFromHome]

I think if the Lions believed he could handle workhorse RB usage they would give it to him. Gibbs is the modern NFL RB. Big chunk plays. 200 carry season. A few games missed each season also. Those Gibbs and Achane rbs will never sniff 300 carries. Imo

 

[travdogg]

Kinda hoping for a big play for Denver, just so Detroit doesn't start to take the air out of the ball. Need ARSB to get involved in this TD party.

Yeah, I’d say RB2 overall is about right for him!

Yeah, that is why I said if things break right, but would it be so weird for the Lions as constructed now to see ARSB have 1300, LaPorta have 1000 and Gibbs have 1000? The offense is pretty concentrated. Jamo emerging is the one who actually complicates things.

Yeah I do need the Sun God to shine as well

Not many RBs hit 300 carries. Nobody is on pace to hit 300 this season.

In 2022, only Jacobs, Henry, Chubb.

In 2021, only Taylor, Najee.

In 2020, only Henry, Dalvin

In 2019, only Henry, Zeke.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Barnes right shoulder to the LR

 

[Zeppelin]

He didn't make it.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Ballsy call there damn

 

[Ilov80s]

Unleash a blitz on this new OT

 

[Schmeabs]

Sucks as a St. Brown owner

 

[Zeppelin]

I love the aggressiveness on defense...it's about time Glenn.
