Motown Bombers

An underrated concern is that the Rams best pass rushers are up the middle and not on the edges. The Lions best pass blockers are on the edge. Goff is next to useless if he has to escape the pocket. I could though see the Lions taking advantage of outside zone runs with Gibbs. The Lions may not be able to pound the ball up the middle.

The Lions have the matchup advantage in all phases except pass defense vs pass offense. Keep in mind the Rams pass defense is not very good and grades worse than the Lions. Their overall defense is dead even in yards with the Lions fiving up 1 more yard per game. They are 19th in points against and the Lions 23rd. They give up 1 fewer point per game. The Lions ran into a buzzsaw of Justin Jefferson and Ceedee Lamb. The Rams have good receivers but they aren't the big outside receivers like those two are. The Lions also played a pretty vanilla defense against the Vikings. I think they have a trick up their sleeve with the 3 safety look.

I wouldn't mind if they did a little nod to the Michigan team but we need to get over the long time girlfriend who dumped us for the pretty boy out in LA. We got the pretty boy's sloppy seconds and it turns out she's a great girl who was just underappreciated and not treated right.

They could have had the Bears host the Lions in Germany and have both St Brown's even though no one cares about the Chicago one.

I really hope they don't do some sort of tribute to Stafford before the game. He asked the leave. He didn't want to be here. It was 3 years ago. Our guy is Goff now.

I just thought, I wonder if Carolina getting the Germany game is punishment for Tepper throwing a drink on a fan? Basically taking away a home game. I have no other idea why you would want to showcase the Panthers internationally.

There is probably going to be a time during the game where Kelly Stafford is shown on the big screen and there will be some fans who boo and she'll go and cry on social media.

The teams is filled with lottery picks. Even if they are failed lottery picks, there should be enough talent to be better than 3-35. The coach is the 2nd highest paid in the league and he's worse than Casey.

Jack Campbell quietly had a nice 2nd half.

The Saints have already said they are bringing Allen back. I would really look out for Sirianni if the Eagles lay an egg in Tampa. They moved on from Pederson rather quick after winning a Super Bowl. There seem to be locker room issues popping up in Philadelphia. Here's another one I'll throw out there. McVay. He gets blown out by Goff and decides to retire and go into TV.

Good chance the Lions play the Vikings or Bears in one of these games. Would be nice to face the Bears. One less game in possible bad weather.

Belichick is out.

Are the fans chanting sell the team?

Alabama has requested permission to interview Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. Presumably.

Pretty good practice report all things considered. James Houston was full practice. Could see him.

It is the billionaire hedge fund manager who is doing an interview with the numbers guy. I've also seen Mike Martin's name thrown out there. He is in the Lions scouting department and the Lions have been killing it in the draft.

I love this guy's videos.

Didn't see this one coming.

I know you will hear the refrain that there are only 32 jobs available, but if you go to a team with a bad owner with a quick trigger, it could be the last job you get.
