The Real Reason Detroit Lions Jared Goff Looked Awful Against Buccaneers

Ben Johnson play calling just looked wrong they ran mostly shot gun so it looks predictable . That big play to jamo down the sideline. Was built off under center play action

It was all play calling. Cost them the game period. There starting to play to certain players. That cost most teams when they do that trying to keep players happy and not worried about winning

It’s not just on Goff! The real issue is the play calling and a lack of toughness on this team. We don’t have a true, chain-moving wide receiver who can make tough catches in critical moments. We need a big, tall WR who can outmuscle defenders and extend drives when it matters most. Our offense feels predictable, and we’re missing that spark to grind out tough yards. LaPorta, who showed promise, is in a sophomore slump, not living up to last season's performance. The offense lacks grit and physicality, relying too much on finesse and not enough on hard-nosed football. Without someone to consistently move the chains, we’re stalling when we should be closing games out. This team needs a physical WR presence to complement the rest of the offense and inject some real grit back into the game.

He’s bad against the blitz

Fixed RIGGED .

Ben Johnson was terrible it might be time to get him out of here

If your a coach and you have Montgomery and Gibbs as your running backs, and you run the ball only 7 times in the first half, you should look for another job 💩

I am sick of this poor coaching.

I noticed that. They were not only passing way too much, but they were running almost every play out of shotgun. I will say the routes a lot of times looked very simplistic and weren't challenging Tampa in the secondary. I can't say they every really tried establishing the run. It seemed like they were calling plays like they were down 3 TDs the whole game.

We had like eight possessions and we didn't try throwing it into the end zone one time that's because Jared Goff can't throw the f**** ball

I mean, we are the hunted now, teams are taking us serious and will be really guarding our receivers. I was surprised with all the throws. Way too much.

Played like crap on offense and still almost won. Not all bad

It’s week 2.

Its been 2 games. That is all.

Ben Johnson may be a one trick poney. Teams might be figuring him out

That OT "win" last week looks even worse considering how bad the Rams got mauled by the Cards. The Bucs are an average team, but the lions made the Bucs look good by comparison.
Guess the Lions are back to being..the detroit lions. It was fun while it lasted.

Goff out there looking like a rookie… We will be in big trouble if he doesn’t pull his shit together! GB out there getting wins with Malik freaking Willis, wtf…

Where the hell was David Montgomery. We won’t win throwing the ball 50 times. Need to keep them honest. This was on Ben Johnson

Never threw into the end zone. Huh?

First play of the Lion's offense was obvious Pass Interference and or Illegal Contact, – no call, leading to an interception, – that got into his head, no matter what he says publicly… not to mention, right after the int Williams gets an illegal hands to the face RIGHT AT THE PLACE OF THE TACKLE, and no call their either… It was a clear Personal Foul and unnecessary roughness two NON calls on the first play …as if the refs were not watching, were not there, or did not care to officiate the rules for the Lions. The entire game had the lions getting the calls on them and TB got away with holds, illegal contact and Pass Interferences. If you go back and watch Laporta gets held the entire game and on the last play/ series he was bear hugged in the endzone… No call. The coaches did screw the team, players choked at times, but imo that game should be reviewed by the League Officials for bullshit! If you went by the betting world, lions had the biggest point spread in their favor… Losing would favor the bookies… $ was the plan… You cannot convince me otherwise. It looked just like the old days with Calvin, Tate and Stafford. Accountability is only a thing for players and coaches, not the league and the officials. While Goff looked to suck, I see why he couldn't get things done. Teams that get calls then make the next play can win, Teams that don't get calls have to try to win without fairness. Not trying to bitch, this happens to any team when it is needed, but it just is not even and fair, and the league should/ needs to be exposed. Where is the officiating accountability. Please add challenges to the official's no calls… Fix it so it works fairly for everyone, rules are not just for one team, and technology is here to get it right. Its tiring listening to the announcers see it, say it and justify it away as if it is meaningless. Brightside: …Hutch is the man, and the Lions kicking team will never make the same mistake again, whether coaches said to do it or not. …also Godwin is really good, Baker played better than I thought he was and he earned my respect, and Boles is a really good coach.
