The Lions didn’t end up making a move at the trade deadline, but coach Dan Campbell noted the team was actively engaged in conversations on Tuesday, even if nothing panned out.
So this next game features two teams with significant injuries. I think the case can be made that Washington has it worse, since they’re not going to have Jayden Daniels. For all the defenders of John Morton, how many points should the Lions be expected to score against one of the worst defenses in the NFL?
Looking forward to getting Paschal back and hoping he can get a break and stay healthy. In the short bursts we’ve had him, he’s shown he can have an impact.
I think we needed to do more in the offseason to shore up the O-Line rather than relying on what is essentially two rookies, one of whom is performing well (Ratledge) and the other who's been awful, and is now injured. O-line isn't fixable mid-season, and we are what we are now, which is likely a 10-win team who could potentially get hot in the playoffs, assuming we get there.
So they trade some draft picks for a plug-in player. Then you have to hope that player doesn't get injured or miss games. My Lion's fever is slowly dying. After nearly 60 years, it was in the pits. The last few years revived the fever...something seems off as we move through 2025.
No, don't let the fever abate! I am in the 60+year camp too. This is special...it doesn't feel like it this year after that game.....but savor the disappointment! It's not tolerated inside the building. I have been waiting 64 years to savor this kind of disappointment! When Earl McCullough dropped that pass in the 4th quarter against Dallas, you were devastated because you hoped but you knew they wouldn't get back the next year in the playoffs. No fans were bummed, we were just happy to make an appearance. And up until 2021, that was the organizational expectation.
Ugh, I can't believe that I'M saying this -- we don't want to peak in early November. We want to peak at the end of the year. Now is the time to try a bunch of different things, see what works and what doesn't, learn and grow. The team is still simmering, so of course we're not "feeling the fever" -- 'cause it's not done yet.

So many people know better than Campbell, Holmes, and all the scouts.

No arguing with his logic. Winning the next two games would certainly help convince everyone of that.
