Motown Bombers

Never fear, help is on the way.

It seems an odd criticism since if he said something controversial it would get leaked that he has character concerns.

Smart to get his money before he shows up fat and out of shape.

The students are being trained on battlefield trauma care.

I can see a lot of issues with this. Seems more harm can be done than being on non NFL games on team property. On the plus side, Calvin Johnson's weed company can be the official cannabis company of the Lions and maybe they can finally please him.

Carolina beat both Detroit and Seattle but Pittsburgh beat Carolina. It's madness.

Holmes kind of suggests bringing in another QB. I really like the idea now to sign Bridgewater. Guy with a similar skill set to Hooker who also overcame a major knee injury. Could even be a better mentor than Goff.

I'm looking forward to LaPorta as well. After seeing his tape and his speed and run after the catch ability, the Lions have multiple options who just need to get them the ball. Gibbs and LaPorta and Williams can take catches short and turn them into big plays. I like Williams ability to take the top off the defense and open up routes underneath. Now you have to contend with St Brown, LaPorta and Gibbs over the middle while Williams is taking a safety deep down the field. One of the things I noticed when Goff came over from the Rams was that his heat map showed he was better than Stafford at short and intermediate passes over the middle. I really thought Hockenson was going to break out but it never materialized. Now he has multiple options in that short and intermediate range over the middle who can also run after catch.

In 4 of Kamara's 6 seasons he caught 80 or passes. That would be second on the Lions. Gibbs is the type of back who can line up at receiver. I almost look at Gibbs as a position less player. He someone you can put anywhere on the field and I would like to see formations where Montgomery and Gibbs are on the field at the same time.

Tiebreakers. It's the same rules that allowed Tampa to go to the playoffs with a worse record than the Lions.

I kind of looked at it the other way. Swift is from Philadelphia and probably preferred the Eagles so they accommodated him.

I don't see a measurement for grit?

Lions were without St Brown, Swift and Chark. Still hung 45 on them.

Seattle played the NFC South where no team finished above 500 and still went 0-4.

Not by the end of the year. Neither was Seattle.

Lions and Seattle had the same record, but the Lions had the better point differential, strength of schedule, strength of victory (Seattle was 3rd lowest in the NFC), and the Lions beat more playoff teams than Seattle.

They had the same record.

Yes and no. If the Lions didn't beat the Packers then Seattle misses the playoffs. It's why all of Seattle were Lions fans that night.
