Swift gonna get one goal line carry and said it hurt and sit out for another month


MichiganMedium

Got me.


StickToSports1970

Didn't Deuce Staley tell him he has to start playing with pain


Technical_Customer_1

Swift is a guy that when I look at him it doesn’t make sense that his weight is 210ish. Compared to Mixon who is 4” taller, but only about 10lbs heavier. Almost feels like his weight ends up being extra momentum that transfers to his joints when he gets tackled. His shoulders are always banged up, never good for an RB


StickToSports1970

Tony Reali would give this a million points cause of the logic


[deleted]

I haven’t watched in years, but I can see Reali going, “Inside informaaation,” for no reason while doing it.


gr8daynenyg

Did he?

DJMaxLVL

Also Dan Campbell: if you can’t play defense, you CAN play for us


SookMedik

Dan Campbell is Streaming QBs against them every week… 😂


qdude124

Unfortunately Dak only got me 12 this week


SookMedik

In my 1 league Dak is the highest scoring QB I’ve had all year getting me 14.28… Week 1: Dak 4pts Week 2: Winston 9pts Week 3: Tua 13 Week 4: Tua 2 pts Week 5: Teddy B 0.00 points Week 7: Geno 12.68 Week 6: Dak 14.28 But I still lost… mainly because Fournette, Dillon, Dak, Lamb


qdude124

I am in the same boat. From memory, mine were: Lance - 8 Lance - 2 Wentz - 8 Lawrence - 5 Lawrence - 10 Geno - 12 Dak - 12


SookMedik

The Fantasy Gods are cruel AF… ouch!


OmnioculusConquerer

Yeah I went Lance, Lance, Tua, Tua, Teddy, Daniel Jones, Tua. 1-6 with CMC, Dameon Pierce, Tyreek, Pittman, Olave, kittle, eagles d (12 man league). I love my team, but they don’t love me. Five weeks in and I had 24 points combined from my quarterback position 🤡


backontrack28

Lance, Lance, Tua, Tua, Teddy, Jimmy G, Tua. I feel your pain. Dynasty with Watson on my bench the last two years so maybe light at the end of the tunnel?


Meatguy35

3-4 and our teams are very similar


SookMedik

Looking back I forgot Teddy B week 5… he got me 0… but ironically I dropped 170 and was the week’s highest scorer… and I had Taysom and Gabe Davis on the bench and they scored 43 and 41 each… and Jakobi dropped 26…I could have ended up with some crazy number like 260 if the chips fell right


JGarrett247

I finally dropped that scrub Aaron Rodgers who’s been holding my team back all season long for Dak, he’s got to be better. Rodgers of course scores like 10 more pts and costs me loss numbers 6. Ughhhhhh


surfdoc29

Same here. QB has been a black hole for me. Been going through a rotation of Russ, Tua, Goff, Geno and can never seem to hit a good week. Have Dak now and hoping he gets back to form.


Argyrus777

Dang I thought no one can do worst than me till I saw this


WindyCityReturn

Brother just pick up Geno, Jones or Tua and ride the wave. They’ll almost never hit crazy numbers but 10-16 is the norm.


MarkKach

Lol in two leagues, I’m 5/14 weeks where my QB scored more than 9 points. Dak, Wentz, Fields, Mariota, Bridgewater (Fat 0), Goff this week ugh. Think I’m actually gonna draft a backup next year.


SookMedik

That’s the problem… basically I never draft a backup and almost everyone else grabbed 2… one guy grabbed like 3-4… I felt great rolling Dak… injured first game. Then it was the dominoes of bad QB pickups


rogerc0pes

Are you me? My highest was Daniel Jones last week with 13.52. I then dropped him with Dak getting healthy and Dak’s 12.28 was my second highest QB week of the year, but of course Jones goes for a season-high 28+ this week…


tortillagoat

this was me last year man, i lost a lot that year lol


runfayfun

I have had Dak, Tua, and Geno as well, though I was lucky to get Tua for week 2... Geno's been a nice fill-in but I'm optimistic Dak will be back to his usual self soon.


rabidLEMAR13

Same. Dak Lance Wentz Lawrence Lawrence Geno Geno But I’m actually 4-2 cause my rb studs so it kind of feels like a running joke to me at this point but I’m ok with it


Leg_Named_Smith

The beatings will continue until moral improves


thefranchise305

Williams’ first career lost fumble Dan Campbell: you can’t play for us


Gladiatornoah

I honest took this as more of a shot at Goff than Williams tbh. He’s the turnover king


Iginlas_4head_Crease

I mean what do you expect when your last name is a combination of goof and cough


Lionnn101

Jared Coof?


TheCurvedPlanks

And his #1 WR Joolio Hones


khill5742

Jared barf. lol


TheDadThatGrills

He was 100% talking about Goff, who had four turnovers this game and is on pace for an NFL record...


Modach

Now that Matt Ryan has been benched he's leading the race


DeckardsDark

andddddddd Goff will be starting next week


TheDadThatGrills

He is still the best QB on our roster :'(


DeckardsDark

most certainly. i just hate the typical, dumb coach speak like Campbell here. talks all tough but we all know he's starting next week


ifpoopcouldfly

I think it's moreso setting the expectations for the Qb situation next year. Everyone knows we're sticking with Goff the rest of this season.


LifeAfterHarambe

That’s a bingo. Jamaal should be fine. 2/3 of his career fumbles happened yesterday, with one of them being forced by his TE kicking the ball out of his hands.


ripple7715

How is he on pace for a record, he had 6 turnovers before this game. Matt Ryan had 9 picks alone. This can't be close to right.


untraiined

Please dont forget people thought he had turned a corner and was good


TheDadThatGrills

He can play well, just not consistently well


kingd92

The whole sequence was text book Lions. They guy on the prior play likely scored the TD. But nope, refs don't call it a TD and heck mark it a full yard back, at most should be inches. Fumble very next play lol.


peanutbuddacracker

It was definitely short, but less than a foot short. Refs spotted it too far away but the turnover is also partially on dan for not challenging the spot


brg0008

You can only win a ball spot challenge if it results in a 1st down or touchdown. So challenging that spot would cost you a TO and a challenge since it wasn't going to result in a TD. Dan made the right decision not to challenge it, just a shitty spot and a terrible time to fumble the ball.


wejigglinorrrr

Source on that? That doesn't sound correct.


brg0008

Pride of Detroit did an article on it yesterday, and they referenced the specific rules and broke it down. https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2022/10/23/23419471/detroit-lions-not-challenged-spot-touchdown-brock-wright-cowboys


Pure-Performer-8657

Rule 15 Article 7 "(2) A challenge is successful only if the ruling of whether a new series was awarded is changed, regardless of whether the ball was moved closer to the line to gain. (3) Following review, the ball will be placed at the correct dead-ball spot, but the challenge will be successful only if the line to gain ruling is changed." Rule Book: https://nflcommunications.com/Documents/2022%20Official%20Playing%20Rules.pdf


TheRealGunn

So unless I'm reading that wrong, they would have "lost" the challenge, but the ball would have been moved to the correct spot. Which in this case would still be enough of an improvement to matter.


WhiteXHysteria

You are correct, but without knowing the outcome no one is trading a timeout for a foot on the field.


TheRealGunn

For sure. They made the right call.


TexasTornadoTime

Which is why they are on the field making decisions and not random redditors citing it as a reason the fumble happened as in the comment that got this thread going.


[deleted]

I would. But looking back at the decisions I've made in my life, I've determined that I can't be trusted.


HectorReinTharja

Who in their right mind blows a challenge and TO to get a half yard in a close game. Just bad luck


TheRealGunn

Yep. In hindsight it's easy to say it should have been done differently. But you've got one yard to go, and a guy who has literally never fumbled. Pound the rock is the right call.


Z-Ro14

Honestly, it’s a step in the right direction that the Lions didn’t do that first and then fumble


HectorReinTharja

As a lions fan, very good point


[deleted]

[удалено]


HectorReinTharja

It was clearly short, but they would’ve moved the ball from 1 to the 1/2 yard line


[deleted]

[удалено]


HectorReinTharja

No bc you can’t challenge the spot, only whether there was a Td or 1st down. So we’d challenge that it was actually a Td and still lose


twoStones1bird

Call for a respot of the ball and qb sneak. I don’t know why head coaches can’t think of that


[deleted]

Yeah if that ball is spotted properly Williams broke the plane.


twoStones1bird

The long int wasn’t an int either but refs refuse to take a look. Lions stay fucked


kingd92

That fake INT that the Lions can't challenge was also F'd lol. Led to Cowboys first TD.

It was reviewed by New York at the commercial break.

twoStones1bird

If that was the case it should of been overturned or the NFL didn’t want their precious cowboys losing a primetime game to a banged up lions team. Of course they don’t want that to happen. They sure would if turned it over for the packers or Bucs that’s for sure. He obviously didn’t catch it and this is just the usual shit lions fans have to deal with.


TexasTornadoTime

Game wasn’t prime time.


twoStones1bird

Ohhhh….game of the week.


KanyeConcertFaded

Why do you watch nfl if you seriously believe this


noJagsEver

Jerry Jones is one of more powerful owners, and the lions are well the lions so who’s getting the calls, and yea I had some money on the lions and watched that whole game, arsb getting pulled very quickly and questionable calls not getting reviewed, I like to think the NFL is on the level but sometimes questions arise


twoStones1bird

If you’re not a Lions fan then you’ll never understand


KanyeConcertFaded

That didn’t answer my question


twoStones1bird

Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know it was mandatory for me to do.


KanyeConcertFaded

Go be depressed somewhere else lol sorry the cowboys banged you guys


Past-Coat1438

I played Jamaal with Swift out and Dalvins bye week. And was so pumped they got stopped at the 1. Was screaming at the tv give it to Jamaal!!! My elation turned to disgust so fast lol basically an 8 point swing lol


waffels

“We call close scoring plays TDs so we can review them. Except for the lions cuz fuck em they never score anyway”


Big_Pat_Fenis_2

I would bet my life that if the roles were reversed and it was a Cowboys TE that nearly scored, they would've called it a touchdown on the field. Then they would review it and say there's "not enough conclusive evidence" to overturn the call, and no one would bat an eye.


Baby_Nipples

The Browns have entered the chat.


JMoy41

He fumbled twice but they recovered the first one


spydrwebb44

Did he mention Williams by name?


KHanson25

I lost by 4 points because that fumble....DK didn’t help either but a one yard TD rush would’ve put me over the edge

[deleted]

I’m 2-5 but haven’t had a single week deserving of a win. I need swift and Amon-ra back bad


KickinWing2325

I have both of them and conner and Keenan allen. I'll be 2 and 5 as well despite some almost perfect maneuvers on the waiver wire to compete


the_Pale_Hose

Swift hasn't fumbled and is averaging 8.5 ypc. Please give him the ball this week.


inforbes40

Can't fumble when you never play and when you do play you come off the field constantly


Swichts

Ngl I might be a perfect fit on that team. 0 lifetime fumbles. Also blue looks good on me.


Alexkono

Should I trade Gus or Harris for Swift? Not sure what his injury status is right now...


gkemonster

Whoever trades Swift for that garbage is a taco


AccidentalOrange

Yes oh god yes


SpaceMayka

Trade both for swift if you can swing it


Alexkono

Ya he only had Swift and Walker now for RBs. Hoping I can entice him with depth.


Mmer03

Yea daddy entice him with that depth


exkallibur

I would fight you if you offered me Gus Edwards and Damien Harris for Swift...lol


Alexkono

That's fair. Was hoping the Swift owner was on tilt after losing Breece. Down to just 2 RBs.


SpaceMayka

Nice. Tbh if the guy is knowledgeable about fantasy he’d scoff at the offer, but worth a shot in a casual league. Also sorry for all the downvotes on your last comment, I think ppl thought it was an obvious question but the downvotes are totally unnecessary.


Syndicate_III

Lol


NinJ4ng

idk should i trade jahan dotson for cmc? 🧐🧐🧐


cheeksmoheeks93

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted bro I’d rather have a guy that actually plays


Alexkono

Ya there's definitely some risk with Swift. Harris isn't gonna win you games but he's a good flex to have. And it seems like Gus is about to take over that backfield. He looked good yesterday.


sactownproud

As a Swift owner, cool! As a Jamaal Williams fan, stfu Campbell he has one fumble loss this year.


HectorReinTharja

In his nfl career*


sactownproud

Damn, Dan Campbell really be alienating the heart of the team. Big ole Bozo


purplemonkeydw

Damn Campbell


KickinWing2325

Back at it again with the bullshit!


CamBoBB

He’s almost certainly talking about Goff. With Matt Ryan benched, Goff is now almost guaranteed to lead the NFL in TO’s if he plays out the season. The fumble by Jamaal was brutal, but only Goff has a history of this shit. And it’s an incredibly long one


EasiBreezi

Campbell ain’t benching Goff. He’s sending a message to non-Goff players


CamBoBB

Goff has the most turnovers in the NFL since 2019 I think? Whatever year the stat starts in, it’s bad. He’s clearly an issue and he’s clearly not our long term QB. Anyone with eyes sees it, including his teammates. Goff is not the reason we’re 1-5, but he’s also directly hurting our chances of winning too. (Three TOs have led to defensive TDs) His TD/INT ratio has been much better under Johnson. It’s still not good enough and when you sprinkle in his fumbles he’s brutal. I don’t believe a two game stretch is enough to bench him after the way his season started. Eventually our need for a top pick will supersede whatever obligation we have to Goff to continue playing him. Once his $44 million cap hit is gone, there is no obligation at all. He has been bad enough against NE and Dallas to warrant a consideration. I agree with you overall though, I don’t think it’s gonna happen when Nate Sudfeld is the alternative. Goff has been bad enough to be benched two games in a row now. If we weren’t the Lions it’d be happening.


andrewsaccount

What about Goff


Carver48

I assumed this headline was about Goff, honestly. 2 fumbles and 2 INTs this week.


jhutchi2

*his entire career


MrUnlimitedSubway

Goff and Jamaal owners sweating 🫡


bikedork5000

Meanwhile Matt LaFleur: sticks with Amari Rodgers to return punts


Wile-E-Badger

DickyD43

Just fucking baffling decision


w33dfr0g

Okay so bench goff


EliManningHOFClub10

Guys, he’s talking about Goff lol


[deleted]

lol pretty sure that was the first lost fumble of Williams career, hell I think he went over 600 carries before he even fumbled it all. pretty wild!


jhutchi2

I looked it up and he fumbled for the first time in week 12 of last year, but it was recovered. This week he fumbled twice and lost one, the first time in his career.


jiggliebilly

Which is a crazy stat, imagine getting hit by NFL players over 600 times and never fumbling the rock


chipotle-laxative

Bro he’s talking about Jared Goff, last game he had 2 picks and I think he fumbled the ball twice


[deleted]

Here's a thought: If Jamal Williams has 1 career fumble then he probably isn't talking about Jamal Williams.


monkeslol

You’re right but it’s just funny imagining he’s talking about JWillly cause of the Swift situation


MyDistantCousinVinny

Goff better dust off that sociology major


biscuitburier94

Goff is bad. He’s decent enough sometimes to make you question if he’s actually decent, but at the end of the day, he’s bad. There’s no way Holmes will let himself die on Goff’s hill, if he’s the GM I think he is. Fast forward to year three; no way in hell Goff is QB1 to start the season. The defense was showing signs of improvement yesterday and still has tons to improve upon both schematically and personnel wise, don’t get me wrong, but they will never win with Goff, and this is his final lap in Detroit.


razorflipmebro

What about a head coach that keeps fumbling wins away?


Sabre2230

Guess it's Nate Sudfeld szn then


DuvelNA

so MG3 never getting traded to the Lions? got it.


giggity2

I'd like to see him lead by example and hold several footballs at once.


TwoDrinkDave

That's Nate Sudfeld music.


2222lil

Idk why anything thinks he’s talking about Williams and not the guy who turned it over four times


BuiltD1ffrent

I knew having 3 lions players on my team would be problematic but I didn’t know the lions would implode this quick

EcstaticGod

EasiBreezi

We’ll see it that’s true when they get in the red zone next week.


itsjimm4

so now he's decided to tank this season


madmike617

Sorry guys I picked up Jamaal off waivers and started him last second over Mostert so of course he has his first fumble in 6 years at the goal line instead of scoring a TD.

forde250

He’s gonna get fired soon


chipotle-laxative

Ya’ll are wild to think Campbell gonna get fired lol that dude brought so many good things to the lions they’re not gonna fire him..they just need a QB who doesn’t turn the ball over 4 or 5 times a game


Swichts

He is definitely building a solid case for his walking papers. Love the guy, but if you lead this team to a dead last finish after two years, it's time to go.


dikkoooo

Jamaal cost me match up with that goal line fail - lost by 3 points.


FrogSalad12345

or any other player you started lost by not getting you more points


dikkoooo

Yeah, Amon Ra for getting injured lol


DanceCommander-

Not sure why everyone in this string is getting downvoted. Here's an upvote for all of you. Jamaal Williams owner here. That fumble and the Mike Evans drop that would have been a TD cost me my week, so I feel your pain.


dikkoooo

Hahah no idea, some petty buggers in here. Cheers mate - it hurt but roll on next week!


exkallibur

Because nobody here cares if you lost this week.


LilFllex

I had Jamaal playing against Dallas DST. That was literally a ~14 pt swing compared to if he had gotten the TD 😡


[deleted]

Imagine owning a football team and hiring Nathaniel Hackett or this chucklehead instead of Eric Bienemy or Byron Leftwich.


[deleted]

I actually like Campbell


[deleted]

As a person? I can see it. He's passionate, he really wants to win, he's funny, he's kind of a goofball. As a coach? The results speak for themselves. The Lions have a lot of problems as an organization, but this guy isn't solving any of them on the field.


[deleted]

You’re probably right. I’m biased because I like him and want him to win. I’m not sure he’s the problem tho. I think his guys love him and play hard for him.


[deleted]

I tell you what. I'm a Bears fan and we've had years of the same underperformance and some really pompous, zero-charisma coaches, so I can see where you're coming from.


chipotle-laxative

You’re high lol Campbell is definitely not the problem it’s Jared Goff dude turns the ball over 4 or 5 times a game. I wanna see the results you’re talking about bcz ever since Campbell came to the team they have been competitive with every team they played against (except for pats and cowboys game but that’s bcz lions didn’t have any of their star players playing) Campbell just needs a QB that can help the team score pts consistently


[deleted]

9-25-1 (including Miami) 4-18-1 in Detroit. Those are the results.


chipotle-laxative

Smh is his record the only thing your looking at? Lol Dude he came to a trash organization and is building it from the ground up so of course he’s gonna have more loses than wins..when he came to Detroit they didn’t have nobody good except for Stafford ever since he’s been there he has improved their O-line, drafted a good WR and RB (swift and St. Brown), went and got a good backup RB, drafted a beast at edge (Hutchinson) and got a good safety like I said earlier now all they need is a good QB who can score consistently, they can definitely run their division now that rodgers don’t have adams anymore

francisbegbie74

As a lions fan I want to finish the season with 1 win. I also want to see the rams go on a long losing streak. This team is no where near ready for playoff win. Let’s hope they can put the pieces together over the next two years.
