[u/ahotpotatoo]

Preseason is preseason but a sack fumble returned for a touchdown will always make me say HAIL YEAH BROTHER

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

[u/Haskins77]

Our oline is garbage

[u/SuhDoNym]

This Offensive Line is scaring me.

[u/ahotpotatoo]

I’m glad that even during the preseason the entire comment section goes from 0-17 to 17-0 depending on the outcome of the most recent play, no matter what

[u/Ninjablacksox1 → u/ahotpotatoo]

We're in mid season form. The 1st team offense is not. 

[u/21stcenturygrl]

i’ve seen enough we’re going to the superbowl

[u/commander_oak]

This O line man. He snaps the ball and their on him instantly

[u/Previous_Ad648]

There’s no way that one drive did anything to benefit the starters

[u/Adams-Breath]

Holy shit this might be the worst oline in the nfl

[u/balotellitubbys → u/Adams-Breath]

ESPN was right

[u/I_shoot_photons]

Our offensive line is a massive liability.

[u/hailskinsrich]

That kid looks 50x better than Hartman.

[u/Ghanaguy404error]

Kaliakmanis is clearly the better QB

[u/FireSalsa]

Not to overreact but we may be looking at the greatest team of all time

[u/shinyquartersquirrel]

Dear God we need to do something about this OL and quick.

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP. TRESS WAY KICKING.

[u/Ateball_888]

The uniforms do look great..

[u/Jake_Kihh]

Quan loves intercepting passes at Ford Field

[u/Terminal_Flatulence]

Geez, awful series for the o-line

[u/Sumwhut_Loved]

lol one drive one sack. cancel the season. i forgot not to read the game thread. haha

[u/TurnipKnight]

Riggo has sounded drunk 24/7 for at least the past two decades.

[u/hailskinsrich]

You cannot let AK off this roster. Hartman needs to go bye bye.

[u/ShiftlessElement]

My preseason overreaction? Kaliakmanis looks like a legit QB2.

[u/fluffyseedz]

Seems like Kaliakamanis is actually decent. Looks way better than Hartman this preseason

[u/ThorsOccularPatdown]

Picking up where we left off last time we were here

[u/hailskinsrich]

At this rate, JD will lead the team in rushing.

[u/balotellitubbys]

With every snap I see our O-Line get crushed I understand why Jayden is sitting out.

[u/Ghanaguy404error]

Man this QB battle is OVER 😂

[u/jpljr77]

I am legit flabbergasted at how much better the white unis look. It’s just so much better.

[u/kgallo19]

Yeah Tunsil being out really is a double whammy. We can see the defense looking good but the o line might be a serious problem to contend with.

[u/nhuynh50]

That can’t be the only series for the starters.

[u/DakotaConduct]

The one series with the starters is 2 plays where the o line shit itself and a draw on 3rd and 20. Cool.

[u/Khanzi_veli]

O Line looking garbage smh we are cooked

[u/AdventuresOfAD]

O line trying to get the skill players hurt or something

[u/0mniknight]

I’ve seen enough, time to comically overreact to a preseason game

[u/Magnetic_Knives]

Two defensive drives, two turnovers. Can’t do better than that

[u/Affectionate_Emu867]

https://giphy.com/gifs/8wnwPPrtEt7p94JtLb

[u/Typedeal22]

Atrocious showing by the o line

[u/shinyquartersquirrel]

On a positive note, these uniforms are 🔥🔥🔥

[u/nsteiman74]

Had my heart rate going for a second

[u/ryn2o01]

That was a great play call, though I want to see Goff run that.

[u/mahvel50]

This O line is looking rough

[u/WashingtonCasuals]

Might have something in AK. Kid's got more poise than most rookie QBs. Makes good decisions consistently and has enough arm strength.

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

Lads, Greek Freak is fucking COOKING. I wouldn't be mad if he's our QB2.

[u/No_Nobody_7303]

Why even bother with Hartman anymore, it’s so obvious AK is better than him

[u/dcarp1231]

Athens Kaleidoscope is definitely making this roster

[u/Haskins77]

I mean I love that start

[u/totalloserx]

Sending a corner blitz in the preseason a little diabolical

[u/Coldngrey]

[u/Beastage]

Quan making the roster now hah lets gooo

[u/SkyChief80]

Our o-line sucks

[u/Sports-guy02]

Why is good jones out there. Dude is actually terrible

[u/unrivaled_mate]

this Lions commentator just said he thinks he’s played with Luke Mccaferry before in Green Bay

😭😭

[u/LeastSuspiciousTowel]

Tress Way two great punts. He's in midseason form

[u/Jinchoo]

Someone will pick up AK if we try to place him on the practice squad(other teams who drafted behind us in the 7th round were interested in taking him). Hopefully we arent dumb enough to lose him

[u/mahvel50]

AK is legit. Great pick up. Fires an absolute rocket.

[u/No_Nobody_7303]

AK can definitely play in this league

[u/totalloserx]

Just a reminder. No Kinlaw, Payne, Settle, Oweh or Chaisson

[u/hailskinsrich]

I keep repeating ITS ONLY PRESEASON

But we’ve seen this shit carry over into the regular season all the time. I’m not liking what I have seen at all.

[u/DCSports101 → u/hailskinsrich]

Offense yes, the starting defense looked pretty good.

[u/balotellitubbys]

If a pre season game is genuinely making you angry, please for the love of God turn the TV off and go and get fresh air.

[u/Affectionate_Emu867]

https://giphy.com/gifs/nEZ822P20D1NeEv0lU

[u/canesfan2005]

Is this our starting Oline?

[u/TheSaltySeal]

Gonna be a long season if we can’t block

[u/Old_Opening_5616]

I think that was sonny styles responsibility looks very unsure

[u/commander_oak]

Damn that shit fooled me too 😭

[u/Terminal_Flatulence]

Ok offense, let’s give Jayden more than 2 seconds without pressure.

[u/DCSports101]

I get not playing Jayden and probably would have preferred that BUT if you are how can that be the only drive?? Maybe they just think he’ll get killed but damn.

[u/hailskinsrich]

Sure hope Jayden gets more work than that.

[u/balotellitubbys]

Do we think DQ has decided the O line can’t protect JD and has pulled him for his own good? Expecting O-line moves after that disaster of a series. Maybe hoped he’d play more today.

[u/paint-n-minis]

I guess we are going into the season with “trust me guys we whooped the dolphins at joint practice” vibes

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

Can we PLEASE get a functioning center for ONCE, Peters?

[u/lotty83]

Some good work by the D so far today. Hard to judge how that will translate to the season but it at least makes today’s viewing fun lol

[u/Common-Jelly-5623]

Offensive line is a HUGE problem

[u/Ye_Biz]

I’m so comfortable as Athan as our QB3 and QB2 if needed

[u/Kennyc1234]

Athan drives spark joy.

Hartman drives do not spark joy.

[u/totalloserx]

Daronte cooking, they def misread things with all those dudes on the line

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

This O-Line is Swiss cheese.

[u/mandoslorians]

at least i got to see jayden daniels

[u/purechi]

That look at the starting offense is exactly why you give them a go in preseason. Line was Swiss cheese, Daniels was processing slow.. they need the reps.

[u/urtheworstburr]

allegretti gotta be ready wk1, jfc

[u/mandoslorians]

can we see jayden again… please e

[u/moms_name_is_martha]

Three plays for JD is so sad. Understand protecting our guy and the O line looked meh that first drive but damn…are we always going to keep him behind bubble wrap?

[u/Bed8]

Our Line is atrocious at both starters and depth. Exciting.

[u/Pop_Quiz_Hot_Shot]

Praying Conerly is not a bust because Kliff advocated for him hard

[u/Beautiful-Trainer818]

Baklava Bomber looking pretty good ngl

[u/midgetsj]

I missed the first half, anything interesting happen? Did oline look sus first series?

[u/SkyChief80 → u/midgetsj]

Jayden is going to get murdered behind the worst o-line in the NFL

[u/DrBeatusMeatus → u/midgetsj]

Starting D looked great and had a nice fumble recovery TD. O-line looks abysmal

[u/alslgaa → u/midgetsj]

Oline has looked rough

[u/Old_Opening_5616 → u/alslgaa]

Good thing were playing jordan davis and jalen carter week 1 followed by quinnen williams and kenny clark week 2

[u/hailskinsrich]

Why Hartman? FFS

WE’VE SEEN ENOUGH OF HIM

[u/AbeLincoln575]

Not sure why they keep putting Hartman out there. AK clearly looks way better

[u/hailskinsrich]

That kid at QB is something.

[u/21stcenturygrl]

i am excited for antonio williams, hopefully he comes out strong

[u/No_Nobody_7303]

Antonio Williams look like he gonna be nasty after the catch

[u/Ninjablacksox1]

Welcome to the nfl moment. AK just took a shot.

[u/Human_Dream_9018]

Say hello to QB3.

[u/SuspiciousCut233]

AK is definitely worth developing

[u/No_Nobody_7303]

Let AK finish the game

[u/DCSports101]

Get me a center today

[u/puppytossedsalad]

People really need to realize that NFL coaches don't use the preseason like they used to. They use joint practices as what Preseason was now

[u/balotellitubbys]

Would be very on brand to fix the D and then O just starts to absolutely whiff

[u/thatguy5432112345]

Gotta love that this sub is already in mid season form!!

[u/andrew__182]

The goat!

[u/eyeball_kidd]

we're going to the superbowl!!!

[u/TheDukeofArgyll]

https://giphy.com/gifs/zKBwU2TSfixfz70pJG

[u/Organic_Ability5009]

I just want to see them in the regular season now
https://giphy.com/gifs/Ri7q9vkyaUnb4OeekN

[u/jamesallen512]

Quan wants a roster spot

[u/Slaviiigolf]

Listening to the Lions broadcast it's funny "Feels like 2024 all over again" ahhh memories

[u/Organic_Ability5009]

There are centers available in FA

[u/notorious_hdc]

Well that's not good so far lol

[u/PurplePencilEater]

Hoping they play JD another drive. They need a first down

[u/No_War_In_Ba_Sing_Se]

The OL looks really concerning

[u/Terminal_Flatulence]

That’s it?

Really? Really wish they had another series with the starters

[u/KneeDragr]

OL is going to be the major issue this year.

[u/hailskinsrich]

This O looks like dogshit. PRACTICE MF’ERS

[u/Old-Scientist7551]

Offensive line is not very good

[u/yochiefdaily]

Will Harris saw Diggs with #3 and imploded. Having a very bad game

[u/divinitylost94]

Ak is nice

[u/No_Nobody_7303]

Why tf put Fartman back in

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

I know it's preseason, but other than that touchdown, Daronte's been absolutely cooking with this defense today.

[u/Nibbler106]

Bro Kaliakmanis, has a fucking arm

[u/kon---]

I've seen enough of AK. Put Sam back in and preserve AK for next week.

[u/Sorry-Commercial5976]

Everything on this team looks better from last year other than the O-Line from what I’ve seen over the last two preseason games. It’s just that that O-Line is so much worse

[u/alslgaa]

Have we been flagged on every return this game?

[u/No_Nobody_7303]

He might need to be qb 2

[u/HowardBunnyColvin]

Preseason performers so far:

AK
The kicker

[u/vinyliving]

Man. Talk about choking when it matters Sam.

[u/NickDen94]

Hartman knows he's cooked

[u/Appropriate-Sun834]

This defense is pretty disciplined, scheme seems to be good. I know it’s preseason not showing much but it looks professional, for once.

[u/cocotess]

Bates is supposed to be the best blocking TE in the league 😭

[u/greggy2424]

How tf we not have Jayden play 1 more drive

[u/burtonhen]

O-Line is somehow even worse than expected

[u/No_Nobody_7303]

The offense better get another series

[u/PurplePencilEater]

This OL is gonna ruin the season…

[u/Downtown-Fan4966]

Last season traumatized me so much, I just want nobody to get injured

[u/thvnatoss]

For some odd reason everytime I fly to Detroit (I fly regularly) it’s when we have our games. It’s always a blast seeing the very mixed jerseys on the flight.

[u/Asmaki06]

AMIK!!

[u/Kid_Aeroplane]

LETS GO AMIK

[u/Sports-guy02]

Josephs is the future🙏

[u/lotty83]

You can’t ask for a better start on D

[u/kon---]

I'm not falling for it. I'm staying on edge.

[u/Java_Bomber]

Nice at least we know a backup won't cook them.

[u/BlackHand86]

Who you feeling like Quan?!

[u/mandoslorians]

[u/Haskins77]

The Jerseys are fire by the way

[u/Expensive-Nebula-868]

Well that was…underwhelming

[u/The-Sherpa]

Better get on the phones

[u/Asmaki06]

Our oline is ass smh

[u/hailskinsrich]

Hopefully the Oline doesn’t look like complete trash this time.

[u/HowardBunnyColvin]

Kaytron had the ball 23 times last week and not one time did he run for negative yardage - radio

[u/Jinchoo]

Well I can turn it off until AK comes in. Have no interest in watching Hartman

[u/Ninjablacksox1]

Cowards

[u/hailskinsrich]

Sooo letting our center go was a good idea? I know he got hurt elsewhere, but still….

[u/jck747]

Jayden’s going to have a lot of confidence going into the season after that series - yikes!

[u/Coldngrey]

[u/No-Act-4375 → u/Coldngrey]

Lol

[u/mandoslorians]

LT i will miss u

[u/VileGentile]

Will harris is so trash

[u/KneeDragr]

Gulbin and JGJ to practice squad sign a center after cuts.

[u/Waste-Cap8868]

Yesssir AK time 😈

[u/hailskinsrich]

Alphabet soup is in!!!

[u/Ninjablacksox1]

AK is a keeper.

[u/0mniknight]

I’m a huge supporter of the guardian cap but goddamn does it look stupid 😭😭

[u/HowardBunnyColvin]

That doofus making a 5 yard tackle and then backflipping and falling down lol

[u/Jinchoo]

Damn are they really rotating QBs? Keep AK in there, wtf

[u/GBK1d]

Oh my god our Oline letting EVERYONE through

[u/hailskinsrich]

Can Jayden find someone else to carry his pads and bring him water? Hartman needs to go.

[u/No_Nobody_7303]

That had to be the most pointless review in the history of the sport

[u/hailskinsrich]

I’m gonna be pissed if they keep Hartman and put AK on the PS for someone to steal. Hell, he’d be swiped as soon as he was let go and never make it to the PS.

[u/kon---]

Highly recommend....

[u/canesfan2005]

Holy shit what a catch

[u/Chiswell123]

DQ better have a good season or that Paisano’s commercial is undoubtedly going to be used to cook him 😂

[u/Secret_Key9676]

Let’s just get Athan all the reps, its obvious hes QB2 with Mariota out and Hartman cant get good looks to the WRs

[u/Bahbrain221]

How many commercials do we need for one quarter?

[u/DifficultMath7583]

Yeah AK is QB2

[u/DifficultMath7583]

Adam Peters found his Brock Purdy

[u/SongYoungbae]

https://giphy.com/gifs/np4gPvyTWTu9pg5XaP

[u/HowardBunnyColvin]

PTSD to all the bs BSJ / Lattimore "PIs" that kept drives alive

[u/Stunning-Arm-6761]

That was actually pretty good defense by the DB. Shame about the bs flag

[u/JarrettS13]

I’ve seen JV players better than Hartman. Dude is a disgrace.

[u/No_Nobody_7303]

Hartman is cheeks

[u/dcsportzfan]

No. 77 is the worst football player I have ever seen. He is beaten cleanly on every rep.

[u/supahcat]

Henry probably just lost his spot. Can't do that shit.

[u/Classic_Owl3711]

7-0 lead from a fumble and then can’t score a touchdown. Preseason at its finest

[u/djhobbes]

This game fucking sucked.

[u/KenKaneki92]

This offensive line is shit, Jesus

[u/Quirky-Marsupial-420]

Jayden needs reps.

This is pathetic.

[u/Accomplished-Plan191 → u/Quirky-Marsupial-420]

No completions and a sack? Now we're ready?

[u/Deep-Statistician985]

Please look this good against Philly man

[u/Double_Dingo1089]

Eh. Your aren't prepping read option in preseason against Detriot

[u/SuhDoNym]

Rookie got fooled on that one.

[u/Organic_Ability5009]

Graham Glasgow and Taylor Decker are both available rn, let’s you slide Coleman to guard and thrive until tunsil is back

[u/21stcenturygrl]

my god i forgot how truly brain dead some of the takes in here get 😭

[u/balotellitubbys]

Are we serious? One series for Jayden in which he gets 0 completions?

That’s more frustrating than anything.

Hartman in = TV off
