It is painful to see other teams rising from the dead. The Lions have been rising for a few years and now it seems like they are stuck in the spin cycle. Maybe they need a re-trenching or a slight shift of strategy to freshen things up. What was working rather well before ain't working nearly so well now as they have lost consistency (the good kind). They have become somewhat predictable and they can't escape the injuries to keep things cranking. Are the Packers a better team? I don't see it.
I give them credit for scoring points, I wasn’t expecting more than 9. Pretty typical Campbell play calling and the belief he has last years o-line. Hutch with another no-show against a good o-line but the whole d-line didn’t show. Over all a great example of 1990’s lions football.
Incredible, and not in a good way. As I pointed out to you earlier, and all facts, not silly opinion: Campbell ten times the coach as Fontes. Owner-ten times better. Team Culture--zero comparison-zero. GM drafting-way better. So yeah, apart from team culture, owner, coach, GM and even wins, other than that-very similar!!
The fabled culture is laughable, its grit right? It’s that the culture? Biting knee caps? Please don’t offend people’s intelligence with slogans . Campbell is a cheerleader just like Fontes was. GM being some kind of great drafter is an utter joke, he’s blown 50% of his second rounders alone unless you think Josh Paschal, Levi Onwuzurike, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. never being on the field is successful drafting. I would add Branch to that list of failures but at least he’s on the field getting penalized, giving up on endzone plays and allowing first downs like yesterday. Holmes is mediocre drafter, drafting mediocre players except for 1st round gimmies and the occasional 3rd round find.
In the spirit of the holidays, and on second thought, I honestly apologize for the name calling. You don't know what you are talking about, that is obvious, but it doesn't merit name calling and I'm sorry for that.
No offense taken, I’m not the feelings type. Your passionate about the lions, your wrong but passionate. They will be out of the playoff picture by Christmas and be mediocre with maybe a first round lose or two for the rest of the decade. Just like the 1990’s
Fontes constantly lost games against worse teams and had no command of the team, he was the players friend, and if you were around then and compare what players said about Fontes and what players say about Campbell, you'd delete your culture sentence and apologize not to me, but to common sense. Just yesterday pre-game Gibbs said one Campbell saying is "effort is non-negotiable," and anyone that watches this team, and watched Fontes teams, and has any sense and intelligence, recognizes that the current Lions play hard, (one of may examples is never losing two in a row) and many many times the 95 team did not.
This isn't my opinion, it's an objective irrefutable fact. Just as the statement that Holmes drafts well, that isbns an opinion, it is a fact. I have to go now, because you just wrote that Brian Branch is a "failure," which disqualifies you from any further input from me, because that sentence is simply too stupid to respond to. Holy Shit that was ignorant.
There is a positive though-I won't be responding to your future idiocy on this site, because you are too ignorant to respond to. Happy Holidays though.
The Lions pass rush is nonexistent. I feel like the play calling was predictable on offense too, way too many runs up the gut getting shut down. Oh well, it looks like their best chance to win a super bowl was 2023.
If you’d told me Goff was gonna complete nearly 80% of his passes I would have said we’d win for sure.

Failed to mention the crushing 12 men on the field for the goal-line defense. Breakdowns in every aspect except maybe special teams.
The waterboys were at the top of their game.
Looking on the bright side we will be talking draft next week.
If I read one more officiating complaint anywhere ever again, I’ll end it all right here.

Another example of a very poor point from you about 90's Lions football. Whoa. But the d-line comment is true so that's something

They're just not good enough this year. Sad.
Curious to see Davenport’s snap count. Seemed like he was out there a lot but didn’t hear his name mentioned at all.
Not ready to run with the big dogs in 2025. The Lions are the Lions. It's been a long time since the 1957 Championship.
Apparently the best the Lions can do is reach towards the summit, then fail. So say we all.
Have to find a way for Hutch to be more impactful.
It’s over, Johnny

*However, after the officials conferred, it was announced that the visitors had called a timeout prior to the infraction (but they really didn’t).
