49ERS vs Lions Pregame thread 2023 Season NFCCG

I am more worried about our defense and especially run defense. Will they be able to identify and shore up the run?

The good news is Goff is a pocket guy. We usually play much better against them, but the defense has been jeckle and Hyde this year so I'm worried they get walked around on long drives again.

I think the 49ers did a good job on Aaron JOnes despite his 6 yards per carry average. Key to defending the Lion's run game is Arik is healthy. At least I didn't hear any injuries on the team other than Deebo. Green Bay could not run over our defense at will. They have to mix it up and pick their spots. There were some good 3rd down run stops that forced Green Bay to punt or turn it over on downs. The 49er weakness is the run defense - but that's because of scheme and I don't think 49er player personnel have anything to do with it.

The Lions feel like they're overly emotional right now. The 49ers have been here before, and know this isn't the goal. If Detroit comes in over emotional they might not be ready to get it done.

Goff would try to check down the length of the field to try and tie. Was on brand.

CJ Gardner could only wish he was Sauce G, our WRs gonna serve his head on a platter especially Deebo (no way he sits this one out)

WHAT? Good job on stopping Aaron Jones? I will agree to disagree, with respect of course. Anytime an opposing RB goes off for more than 100-yards on less than 20-carries, that's not a "good job." I think every 49er would agree with this. But, how to stop it? I don't think you can. I think a lot of defensive players are just plain beat up right now. Many of the players on that defense got a three week break. They were either rusty, or just simply beat up.

Did you notice how Buffalo's defense suddenly collapsed in the 3rd and 4th quarters? That wasn't just because the Chiefs are great (they are). The Bills defense finally started gasping. By the end of the game, they couldn't stop anything. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the last Chiefs TD drive took about three or four plays. There was zero pressure on Mahomes during that drive and he had his pick of open receivers to toss the ball too.

So, it may come down to the formula of just outscoring Detroit. Goff is an absolute pickoff machine when he's on the road and under pressure. That's why the Rams got rid of him. He will get his fair share of completions. He will probably get a TD toss or two. But if the 49ers can get up early and force the Lions to pass the ball to catch up, that's where the pickoff magic happens.

Fook the lions! Fook BAL/KC!

I couldn't stomach finish watching the game if packers would of scored on that drive they ran it. What sucks about the packers game is it sucked the whole game. Lmao it was depressing and frustrating Af until the last drive.

Aaron Jones had 18 carries for 108 yards with a long of 53. Half his rushing yards litterally came off of one run. Take away that one run and he averaged 3.2 yards per carry. GB was 2 for 5 in the redzone and scored zero rushing TD's. Outside of that one run, GB's rushing offense was practically non existent.

Hope we have a good game plan for that DB blitz

Fook them all.

What concerns me, is really our defense. That first drive against the Packers IIRC, where Love was just going down field no problem against our D..Purdy was on the sideline looking at Griese like..wtf is going on with the D? Lol. Looked concerned.

We had to scratch and claw our way for a win, in the end we did it but it was really a challenge. If we make it past DET..I don't trust our D against either KC or Ravens. It would really be a test, not sure if Wilks is up for it and our D misses tackles, has had other mistakes, it's so frustrating. Our D a year ago was amazing, Dco, amazing. Just don't know if they can step up and do the job. Chase needs to look like he wants to win out there lol. Idk if they are just gassed or what. Or still conserving energy..in the playoffs? Lol. Gotta be more hungry, it's crunch time!

Lions #4 Rushing offense
#1 Rushing defense

they seem like a team built to beat us

we're going to come out passing

lol I feel you, there was so many times where I could've turned off my tv and said this team is done... but something deep inside kept saying theres still a chance, theres still a chance.... and they were really pushing it lol.... I then thought about how we last beat em and I was like Lets be faithful as I've always been even though my hearts been broken and I was rewarded!! lol...
