The Lions were also 0-5 vs. Dak Prescott.   

 

But do not let up here.  This is the absolute definition of a Trap Game.  

 

This Lions coaching staff won't relent at all, but it's natural for young men to lose a little intensity after the last two emotional highs when they see the other team at 1-6.

The Titans won't be able to stop all of the plays the Lions practice. Without sounding overconfident, I see the Lions blowing them away. Like I said, I really hope to see extended play from Hooker.

No one's posted about the Jamo suspension yet here?

[buddha]

for ****s sake jamo.

[MichiganCardinal]

Two games for PEDs?! For that few games it’s going to be something incredibly stupid I already know.

In no conceivable universe can a Coney Island be considered a PED. 😤

Well not ideal but I would have him serve the suspension starting this week.

Told him to avoid that Fire sauce at Taco Bell.

Interesting.   The NFL just flexed Jaguars at Eagles out of SNF in 2 weeks and replaced it with Vikings at Colts instead of Lions at Packers.   Odd.

Two possible reasons for this... 

1. Det at GB is an late game... starting at 4:25. Are they allowed to flex out of an late afternoon game?

2. Minny is a good team that's playing very well so I'm not surprised the NFL would want to showcase them. They don't have a ton over showcase games, including this SNF, the Vikings have:

1x SNF, 1x MNF, 1x TNF, 1x Sunday late afternoon, 1x TBD, 1x International Game.

Compare that with Detroit:

2x SNF, 2x MNF, 1x TNF, 3x Sunday late afternoon, 1x TBD, 1x Thxgiving Day.

Compare that with 2022 Detroit:

16x Sunday 1pm, 1x SNF (flex)

Unpopular opinion here, but... I miss when we had mostly 1pm games. 😞 Don't get me wrong: I don't want to go back to those years with inept Lions teams. I know that featured games comes with success. But I do miss when every Sunday afternoon was Lions time.

4:25 ain't too bad, but those night games can be a killer on my old body. I can't do the late nights like I used too and then be ready for work so early in the morning! 🙂

If I wasn't a season ticket holder, I'd probably be right there with you. I like being able to mix it up throughout the season, having a couple night games and Mondays mixed in. I have my 1pm kick routine that I love, but it's nice to mix it up over the course of a season.

For that matter, every road game could be a 1 or 4 kick and I'd be good with that.

Power Rankings from the NFL:

NFC North:
Bears: 11
Packers: 6
Vikings: 4
Lions: 3

Nearly all four teams in the top 10. Just amazing.

(Ravens were #2 and Chiefs of course at #1.)

Edit to add perhaps the best part of that video: Each team gets a little clip of their best play from their game this week. However the Cowboys were on their bye this week so they had to go back another week for their clip. However, that was the game where the Lions just slacked the Cowboys, so they had to go back another week to the Cowboys-Steelers game to find a good play to show.

Feels like an overpay to be honest. Hopkins is 32 and only started three games for the Titans.

[RedRamage]

The came up in my youtube feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs49p_PNJr4

It's the Lions at Titans game from 2012 that had the crazy 4th qtr where 46 points where scored. Stafford was our QB. Watching these highlights I'm amazed at how bad our defense was then and how... I guess slow is the right word... how slow our offense looked.

That’s Stafford, not Kitna.

Yeah, I don't know where I got Kitna from... I fixed it.

Campbell is quietly developing into a good LB.
