Let's talk Jets vs Detroit Lions

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

Ouch.  Saleh calls Lions D a “sieve early in the year”.  Not sure that was smart.

I have a really bad feeling about this game.  Hope I'm wrong.

It’s a scary game 

basically a playoff game for both teams

ZW over Penei Sewell

The Lions say:

”thank you Joe Douglas thank you!”

Yup,  JD made a bad pick. Let's fire him and hire another GM you will hate because you aren't capable of understanding that every GM makes bad picks in every draft.

Relax

Where did I say fire Joe Douglas

Joe Douglas is the best GM the Jets have ever had

IF the Jets would have won in Buffalo yesterday, Lions at home had all the makings of a SOJ disaster. I went to one of those in 2000. Jets lost a game they had no business losing. Largely forgotten bc the subsequent Christmas disaster in Baltimore overshadowed it.

That said, we lost yesterday, so I strangely feel much better about Sunday. I'm more fearful of Thursday night vs the Jags.

I share these exact bizarre feeling

So who cares about Sewell. Jets were taking a QB at 2 regardless. Just odd to whine about taking Wilson when this team is loaded thanks to JD.

I hadn't clicked in this thread before but saw your post as the preview of the thread, and was 100% certain you were responding to Fidelio here.

Not sure why you would. Fidelio doesn't turn every thread into a Zach Wilson thread. It's usually some on the negative side of the Zach Wilson equation that are creepily obsessed with him.

Bolded for you. And yes, he does.

Mike White’s ribs probably care. ?

Sewell plays tackle, pretty sure the big hit came straight up the middle.

I don’t have any such problem but it sounds like maybe you do.

Most of this board is fine, but I guess it’s inevitable there will be toxic waste thrown into the mix at some point.

He was talking about Fidelio.

[Ron Rico]

I don't want to hear any excuses. This is a must win. Jets have played well enough to win in spite of back to back losses the past two weeks. They have to get rid of the stupid penalties and establish the run. No excuses. You play with who you got. We cannot let the Lions dominate possession. Make them punt alot. 

What's the deal with James Robinson? Get him involved, MLF.

1) I'm not the one that wrote it so you're misdirecting and deflecting your issues on the wrong person.

2) I wasn't even talking about you, so there's also that.

The Detroit Lions and their fans are basically us if we were in the NFC. Their Packers are our Patriots. Their Vikings are our Bills. If we had their offense and they had our defense we’d be legit contenders. Both have long suffering fans. We might be more evolved because Campbell is Rex a decade ago.

[SAM SAM HE'S OUR MAN]

The Jets should win as long as they don't call for another halfback pass into the endzone .

Q doesn't play ... we lose i think. Defense is completely different with that guy in the lineup.

Not many of Saleh's "50-50" guys have played this year. Corey Davis was "50-50" for several weeks before he got back into the lineup.

Huge loss if he can't suit up. 

We need Mike White and the offense to ball and score some touchdowns in the red zone.

The defense won't be the same without him. Thankfully we can still afford to lose a game to an NFC opponent.

Detroit Lions last 5 games (4-1) Defensive Stats

Opposing QBs

1465 yds (293 ypg)

64% comp

8 tds

4 int

15 sacks

Rushing Defense

126 attempts

628 Yds

5.0 ypc

6 TDs

20.3 PPG Allowed

This is a really blitz heavy team especially in the last 5 games which has led to more pressures and sacks. Their defense is still very vulnerable to the passing game if the blitz doesn't get home. They don't have a lot of talent in their defense.

It's a get right game for the offense at home and we might need just that, it will be tough keeping the Lions to the 18 points a game average the D has let up w/out Q. Will.  This might be a game where the O needs to go score 30+ and if the D can keep them below 30 to win.

Their offense doesn't travel. They've lit up some weak defenses during this 5-1 run. The Bills held them to 25 points in Detroit and the Jets have a better defense than the Bills. I'm more concerned with the Jets offense finishing drives. During this 6 game run the Lions defense has been similar in a way to the Vikings in that they give up a ton of yards but limit red zone TDs. They're still 30th in defensive red zone %.

People who criticize individual draft picks as if they own a crystal ball are the most insufferable kind of football fan.

Meet the opponent... 

 

[faba]

They are playing well so do not expect a rollover,. I am not convinced about Goff so rattle him early and often

If they make a judgement on draft day about a pick they can crow or eat crow all they like, 100% valid.

At the end of the day you have to make more good moves and picks than bad ones.  And if you want to heap credit for making good picks you have to lay blame for bad picks.

[Ecuadorian Jet]

Although Douglas has made strides in giving this team actual depth, the injuries are starting to creep in. I dont see us winning another game actually. Maybe the Jaguars. I want to believe we make the playoffs, but it is very difficult with a crappy oline. 

[CanadienJetsFan]

If our defence is supposedly “playoff calibre“, Then we should win simply because our offence should be able to score points on their defence

NFL- Jets vs Lions Preview

 

[RoadFan]

Run.  The.  Ball.

Control the clock, keep their offense off the field, protect Mike White… win the game.

I like MiLF, a lot.  But he must resist getting pass happy on Sunday.  

[Jdub03]

Looks like the Lions D turned the corner the past several weeks, specifically the pass D. This article is from the 6th, so excludes the Vikings game.

 

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.prideofdetroit.com/platform/amp/2022/12/6/23495588/most-impressive-feat-detroit-lions-turnaround-pass-defense

 

But just look at the stats from opposing quarterbacks over the past five weeks:

105-of-183 (57.4%), 1,223 yards (6.7 Y/A), 7 TDs, 7 INTs, 74.9 passer rating

Here’s where those stats rank in the NFL from Weeks 9 to Week 13:

57.4% completions — 1st

74.9 passer rating — 2nd

7 INTs - 1st

They’ve also tallied exactly half (11) of their season total sacks (22) in just these five games.

Put it all together, and according to Football Outsiders, the Lions' pass defense has been the third-best in the NFL since Week 9. Yes, you read that right: the Lions have the third-best pass defense in the NFL over the past five games.

Ah my earlier note thanking everyone for no reported posts while I was on vacation goes out the window.

Got email alerts on this one.

There was no other way you could have made this point? SMH.

Text between me and my long time friend from Detroit. We’ve often commiserated on our respective team’s incredible ability to raise hopes before dashing them mercilessly.
