were harder for me than the decision to go for it. In fact, one of those 4th down tries was good if the NFL receiver makes an easy catch.
It happened most of all because we, the Lions, are very flawed…..we lack good DB’s and safeties. WR #1’s have eaten us alive all year, but our offense covered for us. Dan Camp ell and Ben Johnson coaching covered for us.
I loved it when we beat Kansas City in the season opener, but they were without Kelce, and hadn’t gel’d yet.
If we played Mahomes now with these DB’s, we would have to win a very high scoring shoot out….but KC has a very good defense. In other words, we weren’t going to win the SB anyways……not yet.
Get a safety and a DB in the draft. Given our lower picks, I hope we try to pick up Cam Hart in Round 3.
