When our safeties went down, the Lions changed their defensive scheme from man to man to a zone defense. The talking heads said thats very, very hard to do in season. Judge Shepherd on how the Lions did while healthy, thats how he'll do going forward. I say he had a very good first year of coaching.

Yes to all of this. The players at the skilled positions are some of the best in the NFL. And, while Brad has his work cut out for him, I trust him to bring the Lions back to serious contention. Looking at some of the teams that were in the playoffs last season? Many are either lower seeds or out of the playoff picture all together. The Lions will be fine and there are players who not only know it, but they'll be knocking on the door to play here. In Brad We Trust.

You would be OK if they traded St. Brown or Gibbs? Keeping the established quality players is pretty important. So...no...I don't agree.

I don't want to see or hear it but I think Montgomery will be traded.

No SOL. People need to restrain themselves from the knee-jerk reactions. Yes, we stunk up Netflix yesterday. Yes, our OL played horribly. We'll be back next year with a rebuilt line and a new OC. Look at the Bears from last year to this year. They turned a major weakness, their OL, into a major strength. In one off-season. The Lions still have major talent in the skilled positions. Brad does have his work cut out for him but I see him acquiring free agents and players in the draft that will get us back into serious contention.

Yes, I mostly agree. OL help, a safety and a DL along with an offensive coordinator seem like obvious needs. But the tough schedule? We weathered the teams that we thought would be tough, it was the losses within the division that did us in. If we lose to the Bears, we'll be 1-5 in our division.

The top seeds in both the NFC and AFC last season aren't even making the playoffs this season. True parity...

2nd coming of the Wayne Fontes years, making the playoffs every other year. 😅😅

I really don't wanna see him calling plays. He's an excellent motivator but calling plays may be too much for him. Too much on his plate.

Disagree. Totally.

Calling for MCDC or Holmes dismissal would be like spitting into the wind. Unless they quit, their job is safe for at least a few more seasons. And our window is still wide open, there's a lot of talent to work with for a new OC. We should have our pick of coordinators.

98 yard Viking TD run coming up.

They just said they have 71 total offensive yards. Probably all rushing yards.

They have less than 100 yards offense. The only points they have were gifted on turnovers.

I wonder if we could get a #1 pick for Dan Campbell? /s

The Lions have gifted the Vikings all their points. 13 points off of turnovers. Unacceptable.

It'll all be over in 10 days. Or, after today, except for one last game.

But he's way too stubborn. Trying to run up the middle isn't working but he keeps trying it over and over. With the swarming Viking defense, he needs screen passes and some type of reverses. And Goff holding the ball and waiting for receivers to get open while we have a terrible OL also isnt working. Quick pass plays would be better.

He was on the injury report all week with some type of illness. And I didnt know he "came back." Was he injured?

Well, the Lions did beat both Washington and Dallas...pre-injuries.

Snoop Doggie sings? I thought he was just a stoner comedian? 😅😅

Yeah, against Minnesota. Try that next week in Chicago. Not gonna happen

That show is a hoot. He does kinda look like him...Just much bigger.

The guy is a horse. Just unreal...
