I mean, the game didn't really feel close after the 1st. The Eagles were up by 3 scores for a while and were still up by 2 scores with 4 minutes left in the 4th. Detroit got some yards/pts in garbage time and made it look alot closer than it was, but even at the end the Eagles were in control until the last play. The Lions got a hell of an OLine and RB, but Goff is Goff.
@ju Facts I'm an Eagles Fan, and we improved so much from last season, I thought we'd walk Detroit but the Lions also got a lot better. I would be extremely Surprised if the Lions don't win at the very least 7 Games this season.
Lions definitely improved, they’re not a team of losers as many think. It’s the owners for the Lions that hurt them. As for the Eagles they definitely got better too, however Jon Gannon, the defensive coordinator, not Hurts, is the largest liability for that team and why the Lions came back.

Smith should have last year, but Hurts had a tough time finding him wide open a lot. He came up just short. With a top passing QB, Smith would have had about 1,300 yards or more last year.

Only difference is the Eagles were on the other side of the scoreboard in the super bowl.
@@nolanzeigler3781 hey listen it’s all good. They laughed at us Eagles fans when we said Hurts will take a big leap last season. Or we’ll win the division. Or we’ll win over 12 games.
As a Eagles fan, NO ONE should get points for playing their butt’s off. It is a given in any sport and if you don’t give a maximum effort, win or lose, you don’t deserve to be on any field, court or ice rink. The fact that the Lions are being congratulated for their great effort shows how low they’ve been. Now if one says, ‘we need to do better in these ares in order to win our next game” - I’ll go along with that observation 100%.
@@mateaukalua4426Assuming you are a Lions fan - you sound satisfied with not only the effort, but the “L” you took. You just proved my point. As Eagles fans, we expect to “ball” EVERY GAME and we expect execution. eg. tackling: which was non-existent with the Eagles this game. We also EXPECT maximum effort and better execution(tackling) along with a “W” next Monday night at home against the Vikings.

@@KillaSmit20789 bro everyone knows the first two games are usually a toss up. Teams don't really get in a groove until after that. 2017 birds went 0-2 to start the season
@@thelasttilebender U mean 1-1 for the birds in the 2017 season. They won against the Skins and lost to the Chiefs. Then they went on a run to the Super Bowl with 2 regular season losses on the way. Probably would have been 14-2 if they didnt rest starters in the final game in the 2017 regular season VS the Cowboys and yea I agree. Teams can have some bad starts but turns it around in the end.
As a 49ers fan I'm more happy for the Lions than my own team. What a comeback those dudes made, and boy does Goff look hella confident. I'd take that L proudly if I were a Lions fan. Eagles ain't no joke.
Interesting you a 49ers fan steps in, I was just thinking about that game one between San Francisco and Detroit last year, this one is very similar. Both in Detroit game 1s, both with the Lions playing a very good team and falling way behind, both times Detroit made an impressive comeback that fell just short. Agreed, Philly is going to contend for the super bowl this year.
@JDW last year they got tore up by the eagoes and every team around this year they very well could have won this game if a few more plays would have went there way and this is a scary good egles team
@@lg3385 I mean neither team has elite line play to get pressures. But the Eagles were willing to give up running yards in the 4th because they got all their scores in the first half and were just protecting a lead. Better to just scare Jared Goff with pressure and have him make a bad pass like he usually does. Which his why he didn't do diddly in the first half.
Mad respect to you man! You're one of the few Eagles fans that actually responded and a mature fashion.. that's how I would do it!.. you guys played awesome and it was nice for my Lions to measure themselves up against your Eagles.. good luck to you boyz the rest of the season! 👊🤟

They gave my Eagles 🦅 a tough matchup. *Don’t be surprised if we see them again this year in the 23-24 Playoffs.* The Lions look good. Game recognizes Game!
AJ Brown is a beast, but our defense struggled a bit today. Hopefully that'll work itself out, fly eagles fly! 🦅🦅 Edit - “A bit” is an understatement from me haha
"Struggled a bit" is very generous.... the defensive line didn't exist and they were missing tackles all over the field. Let's hope they get it sorted out because Hurts still has accuracy problems so they can't count on 38 points each week.
Respect to the Lions from an Eagles fan. Lions are trending in the right direction and are certainly a tough and well coached team. Good luck the rest of the season!
Lmaooooo this is literally the earliest you can mathematically feel hope lol 😆 😂 it's different this time. The lions have a couch that cares. For real.
Lions put up q great fight and I see much improvement since last year. I love my eagles but this was a great game. Lions looking like playoff potential let's see in next 6 weeks
As an Eagles fan I have ntn but respect for Detroit and I really think they’ll have a good season..this was the game I had circled as a “trap” game for Philly. Many picked the Eagles to win..but iknew the Lions were hungry and much improved from last year..good game!
I was really surprised that the line on the game was only Philadelphia by 4 1/2, the Eagles are an elite super bowl contender. Against a three-win team from last year. Apparently people have taken notice of the Lions improvement, and it was confirmed today. Good game to you guys also.
Watching Hurts reminded me of watching early years of Vick. As a Panthers fan it was so frustrating seeing a guy that elusive get out of 75% of the bad spots the Panthers put him in.
@@Eastwood302e early years vick wasn't a great passer. tbf vick on the falcons passing ability is about the same as Jalens but vick on the eagles heavily improved passing and slightly less rushing from when he was younger. but still a better rusher than hurts
I guess you haven't seen Lions games in the last 5-6 years. Here's why how most Lions goes: Lions play awful in the first half and be down by double digits by end of the 3rdQ. Lions go a mini comeback but ultimately fail and lose by 3-7 points.
for the lions to be down 2 times by double digits and come back and play such a tight game speaks to how much this team is coming together and once they fit it all together there gonna be a dangerous team.....i never thought id be able to say that again..........even tho this is a loss it shows so much growth thats it's not any funny last year they got blown out by this eagles team.............hopefully they find out that they are a good team and it all comes together because they have been working hard and its starting to show............another thang credit to the eagles because ppl dont realize that this eagles team is one bad ass team and scary good...........
That 3rd and 5 throw to Davonta Smith killed me. That was a perfectly thrown ball, perfect anticipation, perfect recognition. The Eagles needed that play to be caught. The biggest thing holding Hurts back was anticipation. So what happens? On the first play of the year where he gets to attempt it he hits his wr in the back. What a nightmare for a young kid. That means getting Mossed, pick six, wasted play and turn over on downs. Thank God Jalen Hurts is Jalen Hurts and didn't lose his confidence in the anticipatory pass. Just Davonta Smith. He only got 2 more targets for 0 catches the rest of the entire pass happy game. I don't blame Hurts tho. That play was egregious on so many levels on Smith's part. It was 3rd and 5 on Detroit's 41. First down was the 35ish. Smith had no awareness of the sticks. He blew past the 35 & then the 30. He was still running full speed and showed no sign of turning around when the ball hit him in the back at the 28. Also on the play. When the defender saw the ball thrown. He stopped and came back for it trying to get a pick. Smith didn't pick up a damn clue. He just kept going forward. If it wasn't for Hurt's accuracy on that play, putting the ball right between Smith's numbers & forcing the defender to come right through him for a chance of an int, the guy would have had an uncontested pick Six. I love Davonta Smith. I believe he's the best route runner in the NFL. And up to about 13 hours ago. I was arguing that he was the clear cut #1 on the Eagles. That's not to say I demoted him. It's just that AJ Brown showed me something that no one has mentioned since the Eagles acquired him. And that's his football IQ. The way he finds holes in defenses instead of just running his route like a robot even if its covered. Like how he plays to the sticks. Or how he will adjust his speed to the route instead of getting there to early or causing an over throw. He did that before the half. He was about to put a monster lead on his guy until he noticed that if he kept up that speed he would over run Hurts ball by an easy 10 yards. Most players would either run without thinking and have to come back to the ball & play defense or wait for the ball & play 50/50. Instead he subtlety slowed down his route to meet Jalens ball in stride at the exact spot it was gonna fall. He wasn't worried about letting the DB get closer bc he wasn't gonna show his hand. Literally. He didn't look around or stick his hands out until the ball was helmet high. Simple the DB didn't have a chance. So no I'm not demoting Davonta, I'm just promoting AJ. Smith had a bad game I don't really fault him tho. The team needs time to gel. It's better he gets comfortable and finds a rhythm with the new players early in the season. If they don't they may have a hard time finding 1 later. Him and Davonta don't need that. Theyre already good and will have no problem bouncing back.
@@chaseanderson1787 this is such a stupid take. We lost by 3 against a playoff team that got even better in the offfseason. That is a huge improvement even with all those mistakes. Nobody expected this team to win this game and they actually almost did.
as an eagles fan all I can say yes it's just one game but our defense cannot play like this again and Detroit got themselves some pitbulls with heart in that squad
@Namfonos DAMN!.. and still only lost by three to a low-key super bowl contending Eagles team and they were missing a few of their offensive starters too??!.. idk my guy, they show some heart based off what you just stated and the facts I just stated and totality.. man, literally says something about those boyz in Detroit 🤷
Rams fan here I said this before the season even started they're going to dramatically improve there's nowhere to go but up. I'm not saying their playoff team never know anything can happen they're not going to be pushovers either. They competed and played hard like they always did last season It's going to be a process but Dan Campbell has definitely build a culture of pride. Players who don't give up and aren't going to be doormats wish them nothing but the best they have a lot of potential.
As I feared defense is going to be an issue because the Eagles did not fire Gannon. It blows my mind that he still has a job on this tram after last season. The Eagles won despite Gannon trying to give the game up.
The coach deserves a large bit of the blame. People forgot the Eagles had a lot of short , contactless practices. The Eagles were beat at the line of scrimmage, couldn't tackle, fight off blocks on defense, and were gassed on both sides of line by the fourth Quarter. The Lions pass rush was on Hurts immediately in the fourth Quarter because the offensive line was gassed. You can't have soft contactless practices and think you're going to just show up and tackle well, or block , get off blocks and play a full 60 minutes game. The coach wanted soft practices to assure starters weren't lost in practice, but the trade off is a team that can't tackle or fight through blocks, and doesn't have the stamina to play a whole game.
I'm glad Hurts has been working on his passing. His running ability will beat a lot of teams. I love both of these o lines. Both these teams are looking really good.
@Mr Smith lmao, don't get your feelings hurt if it happens. I'm a Dolphins fan but Eagles looked really good. He's got good with his passing and if you watched the game you would know this
@@tuat.mvpformallybigd.2635 what are you talking about? He looked exactly the same as last year. He can hit the occasional deep ball, but hits wide open receivers in the damn feet from 10 yards out. He is wildly inconsistent as a passer, and vs the Lions he looked panicked every time he was blitzed. I’m a die hard Eagles fan but if he doesn’t improve he needs to be gone
Both teams looked sharp today, especially my Eagles! Was scared at first we might choke the lead, but I’m proud we stayed in the game and played with heart and grit. GG to the Lions on putting up a fight.
@@Joe-kv6tk bro I'm die hard eagles fan and was not at all excited about this win. Offense looked good but the defense was trash. If they don't get better ASAP we will get destroyed next week.
@@enticedramen it told me that the Lions dropped 35 on your heads the Lions.. you know that same team you bodied a year ago… Eagles added a lot of pieces and yet this game shouldn’t have been this close. Imo
Gotta say the Lions are looking good. They look like they’re very motivated and playing with a lot of heart. And after watching Hard Knocks and seeing how Dan Campbell coaches I can see why. I think they might have a good season this year and are definitely gonna be an up and coming team.
Detroit had some success pressuring the Eagles on third down. They were good at managing their defensive pressure. 38-35. Swift had a 100 plus yards. Detroit had the 10th pick in the draft. I think they need a strong safety or corner back.
Little T.O. AJ Brown is a beast and exactly why we got him, Hurts better get respect for carrying this team too. Gannon needs to go, no reason why we should be letting up 35 pts against Detroit
Was at the game and, even though I am an Eagles fan, it was hard not to be impressed with the Lions' spirit and improved talent over last year. Like the Eagles, they are building from the lines outward and their line did a really good job on the Birds in this game. I'm glad that they don't have to play the Birds again.
@@123slasher.16 problem is I can't even blame Goff that much, it was a complete collapse of the pocket and led to Hockenson being double covered so he had to cut in and that led to miscommunication
The Pick 6 saved our game today, ill take it but we have to play much better football than we displayed today. There is too many good players on defense to play this way. Next week hopefully we will see a much better team. Great game Lions Im loving what they are doing over there.
That's y swift had to carry the team 👍. U enjoy hock always missing every block even when he had the size advantage? Or how he can barely seem to get separation. He had a couple of good plays but doesn't nearly have the same impact as other elite tight ends. U would like to have more from a former number 8 draft pick.

I gotta give it up for the Lions coming from an Eagles fan. They played great today and wasnt able to give up even after halftime. I think the Lions *could* be a dark horse playoff contender if they keep fighting like in this game. The Eagles defense wasn't all that great today even though we did get a key pick 6 by James Bradberry. Both offenses was solid, but the Eagles were able to slug it out in the end with key 1st downs. Also AJ Brown was a beast in this game. GG's Lions : )
I think by year's end you might have a different opinion about how the Eagles defense played today. The Lions have an elite offensive line, and really improved at the skill positions since you last played them. The Eagles D should be just fine, the Lions just have a good offense now. I didn't see the game, but in this highlight reel I didn't see the Eagles defense make one blunder, the Lions earned every yard.
As a Lions fan I expect the Eagles to be a top 3 team in the NFC. Our problem today was we don't have a person on the roster that can guard AJ Brown which tbf most teams don't. Good luck on the year.
@@johnboehmer6683 yea ive heard the announcers say that the lions were like a top 3 offensive line this year a few times in this game. Didnt mention in my main comment but thank you👍
We gotta fire Gannon. That man gave up 35 points with a stacked defense. Probably the best defense on paper that we had in years and he still manages to almost blow it.
The offensive line of Detroit looks like they are pretty good this season I'm hoping they can get something together in a package and make the playoffs
Eagles fan. I really see both of these teams making it to the playoff dance this year. The Lions O-line already looks like it is in mid season form. As a Chris Spielman, Herman Moore, and Barry Sanders fan I wish you guys well this year. Until we meet in the playoffs. From one blue collar fanbase to another. Much Love.
Detroit's O-line dominated this game but that Eagles offense is just full of fire power. Hurts won us this game by protecting the ball and moving the chains consistently with chunk yardage. AJ is a monster!!!

Watching Hurts reminded me of watching early years of Vick. As a Panthers fan it was so frustrating seeing a guy that elusive get out of 75% of the bad spots the Panthers put him in.

Vick was on another level and a way better passer
@@Eastwood302e early years vick wasn't a great passer. tbf vick on the falcons passing ability is about the same as Jalens but vick on the eagles heavily improved passing and slightly less rushing from when he was younger. but still a better rusher than hurts
I guess you haven't seen Lions games in the last 5-6 years. Here's why how most Lions goes: Lions play awful in the first half and be down by double digits by end of the 3rdQ. Lions go a mini comeback but ultimately fail and lose by 3-7 points.
for the lions to be down 2 times by double digits and come back and play such a tight game speaks to how much this team is coming together and once they fit it all together there gonna be a dangerous team.....i never thought id be able to say that again..........even tho this is a loss it shows so much growth thats it's not any funny last year they got blown out by this eagles team.............hopefully they find out that they are a good team and it all comes together because they have been working hard and its starting to show............another thang credit to the eagles because ppl dont realize that this eagles team is one bad ass team and scary good...........
Notice how the score was the same as the one in the SB

@@dougstyles You wanna check Cox pushing Goff in two plays, back to back? But yeah sure "cheap shots"...
The lions and Dan Campbell have so much heart
#1 Eagles fan here. Respect to the Lions. Life or death challenge. Thanks for heightening our senses.
That 3rd and 5 throw to Davonta Smith killed me. That was a perfectly thrown ball, perfect anticipation, perfect recognition. The Eagles needed that play to be caught.
The biggest thing holding Hurts back was anticipation. So what happens? On the first play of the year where he gets to attempt it he hits his wr in the back.
What a nightmare for a young kid. That means getting Mossed, pick six, wasted play and turn over on downs.
Thank God Jalen Hurts is Jalen Hurts and didn't lose his confidence in the anticipatory pass. Just Davonta Smith.
He only got 2 more targets for 0 catches the rest of the entire pass happy game. I don't blame Hurts tho. That play was egregious on so many levels on Smith's part.
It was 3rd and 5 on Detroit's 41. First down was the 35ish. Smith had no awareness of the sticks. He blew past the 35 & then the 30. He was still running full speed and showed no sign of turning around when the ball hit him in the back at the 28. Also on the play. When the defender saw the ball thrown. He stopped and came back for it trying to get a pick. Smith didn't pick up a damn clue. He just kept going forward. If it wasn't for Hurt's accuracy on that play, putting the ball right between Smith's numbers & forcing the defender to come right through him for a chance of an int, the guy would have had an uncontested pick Six.
I love Davonta Smith. I believe he's the best route runner in the NFL. And up to about 13 hours ago. I was arguing that he was the clear cut #1 on the Eagles.
That's not to say I demoted him. It's just that AJ Brown showed me something that no one has mentioned since the Eagles acquired him. And that's his football IQ. The way he finds holes in defenses instead of just running his route like a robot even if its covered. Like how he plays to the sticks. Or how he will adjust his speed to the route instead of getting there to early or causing an over throw.
He did that before the half. He was about to put a monster lead on his guy until he noticed that if he kept up that speed he would over run Hurts ball by an easy 10 yards. Most players would either run without thinking and have to come back to the ball & play defense or wait for the ball & play 50/50.
Instead he subtlety slowed down his route to meet Jalens ball in stride at the exact spot it was gonna fall. He wasn't worried about letting the DB get closer bc he wasn't gonna show his hand. Literally. He didn't look around or stick his hands out until the ball was helmet high. Simple the DB didn't have a chance.
So no I'm not demoting Davonta, I'm just promoting AJ. Smith had a bad game
I don't really fault him tho. The team needs time to gel. It's better he gets comfortable and finds a rhythm with the new players early in the season. If they don't they may have a hard time finding 1 later. Him and Davonta don't need that. Theyre already good and will have no problem bouncing back.

Lot of missed tackles. I can't blame Gannon for that.
@@lg3385 Maddox played like trash today
@@lg3385 and our safeties didn't help much either except for a couple plays..
The coach deserves a large bit of the blame. People forgot the Eagles had a lot of short , contactless practices. The Eagles were beat at the line of scrimmage, couldn't tackle, fight off blocks on defense, and were gassed on both sides of line by the fourth Quarter.
The Lions pass rush was on Hurts immediately in the fourth Quarter because the offensive line was gassed.
You can't have soft contactless practices and think you're going to just show up and tackle well, or block , get off blocks and play a full 60 minutes game.
The coach wanted soft practices to assure starters weren't lost in practice, but the trade off is a team that can't tackle or fight through blocks, and doesn't have the stamina to play a whole game.
I blame Gannon because in the end it’s his job to bet the players ready. He didn’t do that.
This is how you play football, I don’t know what the hell the Titans were doing. This was a good game to start off week 1.

I think by year's end you might have a different opinion about how the Eagles defense played today. The Lions have an elite offensive line, and really improved at the skill positions since you last played them. The Eagles D should be just fine, the Lions just have a good offense now. I didn't see the game, but in this highlight reel I didn't see the Eagles defense make one blunder, the Lions earned every yard.
I agree , lions are rebuilding their team going too be dangerous next year ....but this year is our year go birds
As a Lions fan I expect the Eagles to be a top 3 team in the NFC. Our problem today was we don't have a person on the roster that can guard AJ Brown which tbf most teams don't. Good luck on the year.
@@johnboehmer6683 yea ive heard the announcers say that the lions were like a top 3 offensive line this year a few times in this game. Didnt mention in my main comment but thank you👍
@The TacoCat no
Detroit 100% has my absolute respect
Man i really like that Swift boy. He is a menace🔥
We gotta fire Gannon. That man gave up 35 points with a stacked defense. Probably the best defense on paper that we had in years and he still manages to almost blow it.
Jeff Okudah played really well this game... He's finally getting it 😄
He is trash worst pick in that draft
This game was amazing. Swift went crazy for my fantasy team 😜
The offensive line of Detroit looks like they are pretty good this season I'm hoping they can get something together in a package and make the playoffs
it was good last season
Eagles fan. I really see both of these teams making it to the playoff dance this year. The Lions O-line already looks like it is in mid season form. As a Chris Spielman, Herman Moore, and Barry Sanders fan I wish you guys well this year. Until we meet in the playoffs. From one blue collar fanbase to another. Much Love.
Lol this aged well
Detroit's O-line dominated this game but that Eagles offense is just full of fire power. Hurts won us this game by protecting the ball and moving the chains consistently with chunk yardage. AJ is a monster!!!
I love it
Lions just became that team I'll root for when they're not playing my fav team...hope they do good things this season, their fans deserve it.
