@@TheFootballDigest Honest Question: how many QB in the league right now can and WOULD do these adjustments at the LoS? THere are plenty of people that say Goff should NOT be in the MVP conversation due to his stats.

[@mattthomas1442]

Yup, that's why stats like QBR and PFF grades underrate him cause they don't take into account pre snap reads(as far as I know atleast). Goff has said himself he beats you at the line of scrimmage, so all these "easy" throws that the advance metrics don't give him credit for wouldn't be so easy in a lesser QBs hands. He's the one that will make the pre snap audible depending on the defense, he's the one that identifies where the defenders are going to be and throw to that spot, he's the one that throws with anticipation instead of waiting. Doing those things leads to throwing to open receivers.

[@eclipse6286]

All I know is Super Bowl or not just having a team this versatile and fun to watch every week is an absolute blessing for us Lions fans after so long.

Jared is a wizard at reading defenses quickly and getting the ball to the right guy. His ability to recognize the defense pre snap and check to a play that’s going to absolutely gash them is insanely consistent. Feels like 80% of the time him changing the play at the line results in a big gain and continues to frustrate the defense

[@TheFootballDigest]

The amount of examples just from this game specifically against Green Bay was ridiculous in itself The fact that he’s been consistently doing it every single game this year is unbelievable

[@RichardStanczak]

Lions fan here. Thanks for pointing out Jared Goff’s most valuable assets; vision and recognition. I could throw in his accuracy too, but I think his ability to get the Lions into the best play for success is the absolute key to why their offence is so good. Yeah, I know they also have a plethora of weapons who are ideally suited to their philosophy and an O Line that can absolutely steamroll defences in the run game, but Goff shows week after week that an NFL QB’s ability to read, understand, and execute is far more important than creativity, physicality, and mobility.

Goff alone is a force to be reckoned with considering his accuracy and intelligence, with an excellent offense AND defense, he's nigh-unstoppable. Barring any major injuries or anything, I guarantee the Lions are at least making it to the NFC championship again this year.

He was the number 1 overall pick in the entire draft.. all these young QBs need is protection (Lions have the best O line in the NFL Goff doesnt have to take a STEP on in the pocket) and a good system to operate.. its not freaking breakyard football with the QBs on the sidelines drawing up plays and schemes to get open guys to throw to.. it was one of the best rebuilt trades of all time they traded their Hall of Fame quarterback for a bunch of first round, picks to rebuild and clear their cab space and where did Matthew Stafford, you all those those years being wasted in Detroit where they would change the head coach every other season, he wins the Super Bowl his first season with McVay

[@MostlyHarmless9]

There’s 1,000,001 examples of this throughout the NFL that he’s young quarterback just need protection and a good system to operate and they will succeed.. i’ll Shanahan if you take the last pick in the draft and win a Super Bowl with him.. right now in Dan Quinn, who is a very good coach he was 28 to 3 away from being a super bowl winning HC he had Kyle Shanahan as his OC now he has Kliff Kingsbury a quarterback, guru, not the best head coach, but look at what he’s doing with Jaden Daniels

I've never seen football teams win the way they have all season. Case in point being Goff's 100 something yard performance at Greenbay. Bro doesn't even have to have 300-yard games to be a great QB.

[@TheFootballDigest]

You’re 100% right here Hard to find a weak spot within this team in any facet at this point

[@timrobinson6893]

Not many QBs can throw it to a spot in space in which the receiver is still running a different line and not looking at the ball, confident that these receivers are smart enough and trusting enough that they can cut and look and the ball is on their numbers in less than 2 seconds... time after time. Rarely do the receivers have to reach for the ball, but they're all good receivers just in case, so solid as can be. Anticipation and trust goes a long way to make defending these routes next to impossible and requires supreme skill.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Couldn’t have said it any better myself This offense has been as close to indefensible as can possibly be because of Goff’s ability to do this (nonetheless in the pouring rain & wind)

[@reivelt3715]

That's why if you watch Goff's incomplete pass, it is usually when he and the receiver are not on the same page. And it is few and far between. Goff doesn't have the biggest arm. His spiral is not the tightest. He doesn't do no look or side arm. His zip ball is so-so. He is not athletic at all compared to most modern QBs. His throwing motion is alright at best for an NFL QB. But one thing he has that not every QB can even understand is anticipation. And he exploited it to the max.

[@CoBeMuaDong4100]

We Detroiters have waited a long, long time for this. A long time.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Happy for y’all

[@5lanediver]

"you will not find a qb in football reading d better" and then goof went and threw 5 picks

[@stackzdollarz1914]

I knew at the end of the 2019 we were about 5 years from where we are now I Talked Hoped Cried and Prayed for this I’m proud to be a DETROIT LION FANS 🦁

[@TheFootballDigest]

Been incredible to watch their rebuild grow to what it’s become

[@powerofk]

Honestly, teams simply cannot make any mistakes against the Lions if they want the score to even be remotely close enough to possibly pull an upset. Goff struggled through the first 2 1/2 games of the year. But he hasn’t thrown a pick since week 3 (the first game in the Lions’ current streak). And the Goff/St. Brown connection needs to be its own video. Amon-Ra St. Brown isn’t the fastest WR (that’d be teammate Jamison Williams), and he’s not the tallest, but he literally always seems to be open. Teams honestly struggle to cover the guy. Double him? Umm… sure? But then that leaves Jamison Williams wide open for a deep ball. Plus, half the time on supposed passing downs, the Lions’ll get a big gain on a run. From either back.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Too many options, too many possibilities, and too many factors for opposing defenses to consider lol

[@rudewalrus5636]

Not to mention Sam LaPorta is a hella good tight end, both Montgomery and Gibbs are good receivers, and did you see the day Patrick had a few weeks ago? So many weapons...

[@michaelcadden5288]

I have suffered decades of mediocrity with this team. I bought season tickets after watching Hard Knocks, since I truly believed we were at the precipice of something special. I attended both home playoff games with my family last year and it was as awesome as I thought it would be. My only sad thought about all of this is that my Mom, Aunts and Uncles who loved the Lions like I did never got to see them like this. Football is King in my house and I am glad my two sons have a team to route for after having nothing but pain and suffering for most of their lives. This is the year we end the Super Bowl drought. Go Lions!

[@flexmedia8576]

For those of you not watching every play of every Lions game: The reason why teams have much higher stats is because they are playing from behind all game. The Lions barely need to try, and can seemingly turn it on at will. This is what the best offensive line in football looks like, and I don't know if it is particularly close. That, along with a playmaker (or two) at every skill position. Defense is a bit of a "bend don't break" style. You might get a field goal that takes 6 or 7 minutes off the clock, but the Leos are scoring a touchdown on the next drive. I am a lifelong fan from Barry's early years until now, and I have never seen a Lions team even close to this. Thanks for the love from all us Detroiters, dude.

[@DigestCommenter]

Ravens vs Lions Super Bowl would be electric with the amount of points it would have

[@TheFootballDigest]

A wish list Super Bowl if I’ve ever heard one

[@odettejames9230]

Agreed, but I would love to see the Lions stop the 3 peat of the Chefs!

[@LindsayColon-t4j]

One of the best video productions of the Lions I’ve seen, good job

[@TheFootballDigest]

Thank you very much 🤝 glad you enjoyed!

[@Win4Cheesily]

The chiefs may be undefeated.. but the Lions are the best team in the NFL...

[@TheFootballDigest]

Feels like a Detroit vs KC Super Bowl is slowly loading at this point Time will tell

[@patrickyb8840]

Best thing about Lions is not all about stats... It's about their hunger to win and workmanlike attitude !!! Humble, putting in the work, confidence and belief !!!

[@TheFootballDigest]

Completely agree So entertaining to watch week in & week out

[@rawknroe820]

Hailing from the great state of Michigan, it's your record making, record breaking DETROIT LIONS ROCK on Detroit!

[@TheFootballDigest]

💪💪

[@MattCatt09]

Lions are now America’s Team, and the new Greatest Show On Turf. We are unstoppable. 🦁 🏈 🏆

[@TheFootballDigest]

Can’t wait to see what their record looks like at seasons end

[@MattCatt09]

@@TheFootballDigest Thanks for the ♥️. I told our local sports radio personality, Mike Valenti, at the beginning of the season, that we would go 17-0. Looks like I wont be far off!

[@karavalentine920]

God is a lions fan, that Texans game I couldn't watch told me everything i need to know. This is legendary

[@haydensmith5377]

This team, after a rough week 2 loss at home vs a good Tampa Bay team (now unfortunately without Evans and Godwin), has been the football definition of a well-oiled machine. The NFC Playoffs will run through Detroit and they will make it to the Superbowl and probably win it all, against the Chiefs in my opinion. Those two teams are on a mid-February collision course. Ben Johnson has completely befuddled defenses and it's been a while since a team has impressed me as much as this lions team. When this season is over, we could be talking about one of the all-time great teams American sports has ever seen, not just football.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Completely agree with you there. Truly on a historical pace at this point when considering all aspects of this team

[@Opp-pack93]

Ben Johnson is gonna end up highest paid head coach ever. I hope he stays though

[@Bluebloods7]

SOL is the answer. They always find a way to beat themselves. ALWAYS. Last year everyone was saying SOL was dead, then they bounce a ball off Vildor's facemask into the hands of the opposing WR in the NFC championship game, and find a way to diarrhea a massive lead away and lose. SOL never dies. NEVER DIES.

[@onmywayup94]

thats silly. So anytime they don't win a superbowl you can cry SOL? They're 23-7 in their last 30 games. Enjoy it and don't be miserable. Life's too short

[@MTGWithMike]

Cause Option Offense schemes are mainly used in Highschool and College. It is rarely used in the NFL because they require a lot of moving parts to be able to be ready on all plays to touch the ball. Most teams aren't used to defending this style of football on almost EVERY play as it is an exhausting style of offense to match by the defense.

[@TheFootballDigest]

You hit the nail right on the head with this

[@MTGWithMike]

I appreaciate that - my younger brother is a freshmen QB in high school and I spend a lot of time helping him Improve! Stay blessed and keep up the great content!

[@JimFG]

You can keep your mobile, laser rocket arm QBs. Gimme the scrawny guy who stands tall in the pocket and throws dots into a two foot window!

[@TheFootballDigest]

Truly been on another level over the past couple of weeks

[@anandnathan6851]

Really good breakdown.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Thank you 🤝 I appreciate you

Subscribed, from Detroit with love.

[@TheFootballDigest]

I appreciate you 🤝

[@BeerioCountryClub]

I’ve been waiting my whole life for this! #onepride baby!

[@ouroboros4581]

You missed how insane their special teams play has been this year!!! Fox could set a record, the rook Bates has missed 1 of 37 kicks, and both punt and kick return they're first. Great video though, really enjoyed it!

[@cappadocius9379]

Lifelong Lions fans and I still struggle believing this is real. I just wish my mom was here to see this.

[@nickpatrick7021]

The defense is the unsung hero, even post-Hutch injury. I don't think Anzalone has missed a solo tackle in like a month. Red zone defense was definitely key in this game. When all is said and done, Goff to St. Brown may be remembered as one of the great passing connections of all time

[@TheFootballDigest]

At this rate, it doesn’t seem far fetched at all So entertaining to watch every Sunday

[@YNWTBHEN]

Man everytime I watch something about our lions I get chills mannnn, shit is crazy so used to waking up every Sunday saying “same ole lions” not nomoreeeee😮‍💨🙏🏽💙🤍🩶🖤

[@LarryStranger]

It tickles me that as a life long lions fan, fans of other franchises are legitimately happy for us. Even in defeat I hear things like, “if somebody HAD to beat us, I’m glad it was the lions.” I swear it is the strangest thing. Nobody seems to hate us.

[@t4d0W]

Even if there are haters the Lions franchise situation with their roster building and coaching staff are enviable. Especially with many other bad teams fraught with instability, fraudulence and wasted potential. Any fan of good football can clearly see in the last 3 seasons how the Lions pursued and chased after excellence and are now reaping the benefits.

[@kevinwalsh9253]

I grew up in Detroit and I was a rabid Lions and Tigers fan. As I traveled all over I always followed them. It has been a terrible experience until now. But the season is only half over and everyone will be aiming to bring them down. I can only pray that we don't blow it all. It would be better to go 4-13 than have this success and then fall out of first. It is still a long season to finish.

[@stuartgerger7828]

Nice vid. Great info, insight and presentation!

[@hansvantcg]

One of my favorite parts of about good Detroit sports teams is they are almost always about team above individual. That is incredibly hard to find in professional sports and the last time this happened with the Pistons in ‘04 the Shaq and Kobe lakers almost got swept. Hoping these Lions can do the same to the Chiefs this year

[@TheBoardgameWarthog]

I think lost in the offense and the defense is the special teams. Kalif Raymond is a great kick returner and those on the kick return team do a good job (ask the Titans about that). Jack Fox has an amazing leg that can flip the field so that if the Lions are backed up on say their own 10, the other team might start at their own 25 or 30 yard line. And it's a small sample size, but Jake Bates has had a better year than expected.

[@TheFootballDigest]

100% Under appreciated, but another crucial aspect of this team that makes them arguably the most complete team in football

[@Pablo360able]

I remember when we made "celebratory" 0-and-16 nachos for this team. Now this. How far they've come.

[@TheFootballDigest]

A turnaround for the history books Can’t wait to see what they can accomplish over the next couple of years in this window

[@jerrysgardentractorsengine2243]

I’ve been on this planet for almost 26 years and, like most Lions fans, have known nothing but mediocrity from this team ever since I started watching/following sports back in 2011/12. Between the Tigers odd defying playoff run & the Lions establishing themselves as an NFC powerhouse, its an exciting time for Detroit sports again! Just wish that my grandfathers were still here to witness it EDIT: 30 comps to Amon-Ra!? I don’t think Stafford ever posted numbers like that with Megatron!

[@Billyissilly_]

People also tend to overlook how good our special teams performs whether it’s the Punter who rarely gets to the field or our KR/PRs

[@TheFootballDigest]

You’re 100% right here It gets extremely overlooked (even by myself in this video sadly), but it’s been such a key factor like you said

[@truthseeker9454]

Detroit used to have the most entertaining back to watch in the league (Barry Sanders). Then they had one of the most entertaining receivers to watch in the League (Calvin Johnson). Now Detroit has the most entertaining TEAM to watch in the league and I'm really happy for Lions fans who have suffered so long with losing records.

[@bobh6728]

When you are 1st in 20+ yard TDs, you don’t need a lot of first downs. When your defense gives you great field position, you don’t need a lot of yards to score.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Complimentary football to the highest degree

[@ZeusAmun-pt9dc]

I hope the Lions win the Superbowl this year and if they do that would make the trade the greatest trade ever for both teams

[@TheDemolisher]

Dude Jahmyr Gibbs is the guy who would sprint down the halls during passing time and somehow dodge everyone

[@TheFootballDigest]

His burst speed is unmatched

[@jamesbrabant2569]

Great video, excited for their rematch with the Vikings

[@TheFootballDigest]

Glad you enjoyed 🤝 & same here The 2nd half stretch of the season for them is going to be very entertaining to see how they can expand off what they’ve already done

[@ryansmukala7618]

The bucs game felt more like us shooting ourselves in the foot than anything however I do think the Bucs played a hell of a game. They earned that win. Played smart and took advantage of the opportunities they had while we did some pretty dumb things. I’m excited to see how far we can go

[@mattnsac]

A team can get 1000 yds in a game, but if they turn the ball over every time they are set to score, it means nothing. All that matters is putting points on the board and the Lions are REALLY good at doing that.

[@TheFootballDigest]

You said it best Capitalizing in the red zone & playing mistake free football. No one doing it better right now

[@DrTiaJolie]

A native Detroiter, we used to joke about the Lions always finding a way to lose. Now it's all sorts of fun seeing them finding ways to win.

[@bohba13]

Ben Johnson took "don't give your foes problems, give them dilemmas" to heart

[@TheFootballDigest]

Yeah, that statement is pretty much the pure embodiment of his offensive approach lol

[@bohba13]

@TheFootballDigest that is some next level shit too.

[@angelsscapes2977]

Montgomery splitting touches with Gibbs is unreal. Montgomery is an absolute workhorse, Gibbs is lightning in a bottle. Amon Ra is working his magic. This team is firing on all cylinders minus LaPorta. Ravens caliber offense.
