I don’t understand why we played starters today. I didn’t want to question Campbell, but it made no sense. The backups had a decent chance to beat Minnesota anyway. It’s unacceptable.

Especially with no Brock Wright. We have practically no healthy tight end.

If he’s out long term it lies at the feet of Campbell. The 5% chance at one extra home game wasn’t worth losing our second best receiver.

I don’t think they need to be on PM, no one else will listen anyway

This is why I don’t gamble

I predict this kickoff will be a touchback

Good job to hold the refs to 3 on that drive

Can we hold open tryouts for a kicker this week

Might have been over before it started if they keep it up

I thought so at first, but then it happened again and I got a witness!

They’re not much, mostly flash bangs. They sure are loud though.

They’ve got fireworks all over the place. Don’t set the place on fire before next week

The pregame ceremony wasn’t much, just a video and spot lighting the banner to a standing ovation. They did set off two small fireworks though, which is a first that I’ve ever seen in Ford Field.

If the fruit of the Bill Belichick tree is rotten, and now the tree itself is dead too, maybe we should just uproot the entire thing and relocate it! What could go wrong.

Steitchen was not a good game managing coach to finish that game.

Underwood to L$U, as expected.

I think the first playoff game at Ford Field is a decent storyline in and of itself. They could push the “Stafford’s Return” story through the week on ESPN too.

I think Detroit-LA has all the storylines for it too

Anyone know when they announce the playoff timeslots? Lions are probably a contender for prime time.

He's not had a good night of following your advice. Apparently he is referring to some random Detroit media personality with 5800 followers who I have never heard of, who CJGJ thinks called him a bad teammate, which the dude denies. Whatever.

I really doubt he is re-signed honestly.

I get that he's a competitor, but you can't just reappear after rehabbing for 15 weeks and expect the team that's been rolling to bench one of their four or five best defensive players. Who cares who's out there next to you anyway, just go ball out.

Even before the injury, in his rookie season where he played 16 games (only inactive in week one), he was a pretty much total non-factor. Granted that 2021 team was a dumpster fire through and through, but the contributors today who were on that team (Goff, much of the OL, ASB, Alim) mostly all started coming into their own there down the stretch. You saw flashes of where they are today. I've never seen anything with Levi that's made me say, "yeah I see what Holmes saw" One sack and 15 tackles across 16 games as a rookie 2nd round pick didn't inspire confidence. Zero sacks and 3 tackles across five active games in 2023 says he won't be here next year... Is it possible without the injury we get a serviceable backup? Possibly. But a starter should be the expectation with the #41 overall pick. I'm not prepared to say that Holmes didn't miss on it and excuse it away by citing to the injury. I think he just whiffed. On one day two pick across three drafts, which is pretty dang good.
