Not a doomer but I feel like our season can be summed up in two pictures.
January 2, 2026
I have faith for next year but God was our O-line terrible this year.

Agreed, Goff is not mobile, if he has a solid line he’s lethal
In the second one cringes so hard before he gets hit and just curls up in a ball standing preemptively.
Need a new o-line, new OC, and a healthy defense. It’s not asking too much is it?
Do you have a picture of an opposition WR wide open 30 yards downfield on 3rd & 18?
I feel like that’d be a great addition
Cover 1 with practice squad DB’s on 3rd and 13 aswell
Let’s see…2 guys fail to block 1 and then 8 guys fail to block 4.
Sounds about right. Let’s cap it and hope for a better 2026.
Nothing doomer about pointing out bone headed o-line shit. Just look at the first pic. Like who the fuck were they triyng to block on the right? No one was there
add a third photo from that vikes game of line losing the 3v2 and letting them get the fumble
So true. Nothing was wrong defensively.
Dan Skipper starting at LT was the cherry on top of a shit sundae of a season
I’m as Anti-Doomer as the rest of em, but god damn. This post is so accurate.
First one is a big line mistake. I still don’t blame them for the second one, they got got by the playcall.
On the second one, they were showing a blitz so the tackles started inside to pick up blitzers. The idea was that the RB and TE would chip the edge rushers before leaking out, and if the blitz didn’t come the tackles could come back and pick up the edge rushers.
The problem was that the edge rushers did a full on pass rush instead of rushing honestly which meant that the RB and TE weren’t able to get good blocks on and then the tackles were too far away to pick up the rushers which is what you see in your screenshot.
Sometimes the OL makes mistakes but giving them an un-winnable situation is not an example of them being terrible.
People will see these pictures and still blame Goff.
Accurate. Other teams being able to convert on 3rd and 20 and we somehow do a run play then make it 4th and 23 😬 love my Lions
Yup pretty much. We hate blocking the opposition it feels like, Especially when it’s really important!
Lots of pictures, lots of plays, lots of injuries add up to 8-8.
I wouldn’t blame Goff and Gibbs for having a little PTSD. Those two probably had to take a bunch of ice baths after the games.
Sewell and Glasgow literally doing nothing to help is comical. I mean I would have hated to be in the film room that day.
Is this one of those plays where the TE is supposed to (somehow) pick up the guy rushing up the middle? I forget what it’s called, but I hate that shit every time I see it. Even if it works, it BARELY works.
Pretty much. Don’t think a lot of football fans understand where the game is won.
100%. You aren’t going to run or pass or anything on offense if there’s one or two big dudes in your face the moment the ball gets to you
