Honestly, the offense was as much to blame as the defense in this loss

And the LBs played MUCH worse than the DBs, imo. From the very beginning to the end.

Bad game all around. Just hope that nobody else got hurt—especially on the defense and some of them can heal up between now and Tampa next week.
I know! We’re Good!
We were afraid to go into nickel when we were clearly getting killed in our base defense.
I recall one time that we ran nickel, and Mallett got targeted and cooked on that play.
We’re going to have to be able to run sub packages moving forward. That crap cannot continue.

Go back to the other Morton picture. He needs to be more consistent

I can’t get over Rock Ya Sin getting that PI on Kelce on that go ball.
Kelce is legitimately the slowest skill player in the NFL right now and you were so afraid he was going to run by you that you basically tackled him.
And Arthur Malet yikes. Dude was on the couch 6 days ago and if Maddox doesn’t pull his hammy he’s not out there but damn

Not a CB but Thomas Harper is interesting. Hope we can get Tre Hawkins in here. He intrigues me as well. Most importantly just get the gang back together.
Holmes ain’t gonna do shit. He’s hoping we can get through the TB game without more guys going on IR, then we have the bye. Then more guys come back and he won’t have to do anything. He can plan the next move of giving up a number of draft picks for another luxury pick that doesn’t appreciably improve this team.

If the offense scores thirty plus points like we all thought
then they might have won

If the Lions are in need of a 3rd rounder to immediately come in and “improve” the team, this roster is in trouble.

It’s not that they didn’t improve the team, they’re 3rd rounders who did nothing at all for the team.
Hendon Hooker is gone without any contribution whatsoever.
Isaac TeSlaa is a good player who has no role in our offense and to create a role for him means we take away touches from other players who the team seems to like more: St. Brown, Jamo, LaPorta, Gibbs and Monty. We won’t do that. Sure TeSlaa is good depth but you don’t have someone of his caliber as a depth piece.
But the post you’re agreeing with is literally saying TeSlaa is the reason we don’t have depth at CB? lmfao.
It’d be no different if we drafted a CB in the third and then ARSB and Jamo went out and the CBs were healthy. People would be crying that we drafted a CB in the 2nd, but had Reed, TA, Amik, Kerby, and Branch in the secondary.

Except a third rounder could have been used on a backup O Lineman, a backup CB or “oh I don’t know almost every position where we’re extremely thin at.” Not for a WR!!
I agree with this roster you don’t use third rounders to get day one starters, but you should be using them to improve the roster at positions we are thin at. WR IMO was not one of those.
With respect Wolverine, we were set at CB and had plenty of depth until we didn’t. You can’t predict or plan losing 5 of your 6 top DBs.

All of these positions are in the same dilemma. If you lose a player, you’re having a depth piece come in. Drafting TeSlaa is no different - except WR hasn’t been hit by injury. I guess Brad should have a magical ability to look ahead and see which position is going to get hit by injury when the draft rolls around in April then.

I know Brad has made a few mistakes with trades in the draft, but I’m not sure you can just poo poo on his drafting abilities. I mean we’re literally about to struggle to pay for quite a few draft picks on there second contract because he picked, what like 10 absolute studs in his first 4 drafts. Oh and Williams, TeSlaa and Rut are looking pretty Fn good too. Drafts will never be perfect, but yeah Brad is definitely one of the better drafting GMs in the NFL.
We had depth at WR where we don’t in the secondary.
Even without TeSlaa we still have Lovett and Meeks. Those are two perfectly fine depth WRs. We also had Ronnie Bell who was a solid depth WR.
We don’t have that same level of depth in the secondary, edge or OL.
