Don’t like a week six bye, though they should be 4-1 at worst entering it. Playing the Patriots in Munich, the Bucs in Detroit, and then the Bears on Thanksgiving is a brutal 12-day stretch too. Feels like the Lions could be the better team than all three of them and still come out 1-2.

Week one is always fluky. I’m just glad to not be playing a divisional opponent.

Best team on paper that we get at home and we get to play them halfway across the world instead of Ford Field.

Looking between 37-44, the only player other than Moore who would have made some sense is Colton Hood, who the Giants took.

Likely means Lions will kickoff the season at home.

Sounds like Lions @ Bills on Thursday Night week two to open up the new stadium.

If Rakestraw only spends two games on IR that’s a win.

Having three into the bye isn’t crazy, that’s happened before. And Rod Wood specifically said we weren’t guaranteed to have a bye out of the Germany game. Might have even said it wasn’t likely. But that’s the extent of defending I’ll do to a prediction I made up out of thin air.

Schedule should come out next week. Here's a prediction: 1. vs. Chicago Bears 2. @ Atlanta Falcons 3. @ Green Bay Packers (Sunday Night Football) 4. vs. New York Giants 5. vs. New York Jets (Monday Night Football) 6. @ Miami Dolphins 7. @ Arizona Cardinals 8. @ Carolina Panthers (Thursday Night Football) 9. BYE 10. vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (in Munich, Germany) 11. vs. Tennessee Titans 12. @ Minnesota Vikings 13. vs. New England Patriots (Thanksgiving) 14. @ Buffalo Bills (Monday Night Football) 15. vs. Minnesota Vikings 16. vs. New Orleans Saints 17. @ Chicago Bears (Sunday Night Football) 18. vs. Green Bay Packers

I remember Marvin Lewis was also interviewed. Was the only name connected to the Lions that I didn’t like at all.

From Justin Rogers: “Point of clarify for what it matters, conversations between the Lions and Matt Campbell never progressed to an offer in 2021.” Matt Campbell is full of ****. No one at Iowa State declines an NFL job offer after progressing to the offer stage in order to stay at freaking Iowa State. Is it possible Matt Campbell saw the writing on the wall that he wasn’t going to get hired by the Lions, so he quietly withdrew from consideration? Maybe. But he was never offered and it’s insulting to Dan Campbell for him to just come and claim Dan was the Lions second choice.

Just wait until he learns he can use two hands!
