They thrive at picking apart defenses, and I don't see us forcing Goff into the same mistakes Darnold made.

The only way we keep it close is if they give us points, we're not dictating a thing in this game.

That's the worry. The best we can hope for is Detroit come in thinking ts already won and aren't prepared and are complacent and we play a perfect game. The problem is that isn't the Lions. Collinsworth said something I actually agree with on SNF, this Lions team has grit. They aren't a flashy team of egos and swagger. They are hard working, never say die and fight for everything.

From day one that has been the identity of the coach and he has projected this on the team. They get guys who fit that bill or mold them into that mindframe. And look where it has gotten them.

THAT IS WHAT WE NEED. Unified mind focused on a common identifying trait.

I think the close losses are the bigger concern. Kinda rooting for an embarrassment on Sunday to grease the wheels of change. If we keep losing by 4 and 5, there might be just enough of a convincing argument that we are close, and just need one more year of draft and develop to get over the hump. And Shad's apprehension to  change will be on full display.
