Detroit’s rebuild is officially way ahead of schedule.

I can’t believe what I just saw! Edit: I was typing that before Collinsworth said it.

Why did they decline the penalty?

Have a nice off-season, Packers.

Twice the refs spotted us at the two inch line. Seriously?

Get lost chump. Punk move by Quay Walker.

Man that was beyond a stupid penalty. It was inexplicable. Like someone check his meds because it seems like he's hearing voices.

Lions ball.

Nice defensive play.

I live out of market and don’t see many games but the lineup card on the DRW FB page shows Seider paired with Walman and Chiarot paired with Hronek. Is this real? If so, is it new?

If (pure speculation) this was related to substance abuse, it is easy to imagine that Caps front office would have heard rumors that Wings front office had not. Whatever the story was, everybody in the NHL was undoubtedly calling everyone else for gossip on Vrana as soon as he went into the program. Fans don’t know the reason but I suspect everyone in the NHL has a good guess. It was a surprise to us that he was waived and cleared waivers, but is maybe not a big surprise to insiders.

Baker Mayfield has something to play for.

Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. The key is whether they are prepared to re-sign Swift in 2024. He will probably be looking at a contract like Austin Ekeler signed for four years, $6.125 million per year, with about $14 million guaranteed.

Oh holy hell.

What is this nickel and dime crap about he's down at the one inch line? Referees are the HR scolds of sports.

OK, it's a game.

I see Bijan Robinson mocked as early as 4 and as late as 31. If he is available when the Lions have their first round pick (somewhere around 18) should they bite? We have seen how explosive the offense is when Swift is on his game, but he is so often off his game, and he is unlikely to make it to a second contract.

Detroit has the fifth highest scoring offense in the league, despite multiple injuries to OL, RB, WR. Five of their eight losses were by a combined 17 points. Every season is its own thing, but Holmes has probably had the two best back-to-back drafts in Lions history, and for his third he has five of about the top 80 picks. Next year they should challenge for the division title.

Todd Gurley was picked at #10.

I wouldn't be shocked by this either.

Scary. He's not big enough to last as an NFL QB.

Yes please. And a OL and RB they can work into the rotation.

Sam Darnold is a Lion tamer.

Well, they were good enough to be the third or fourth hottest team in the NFC, but bad enough to let the Panthers set a franchise rushing record. This defense has no leadership. Hutch can grow into that but he is too young. Anzalone is the glue but he is not talented enough to be the leader. They need more talent and depth on DL but what they really needed today was someone on defense after the first drive to help them get their heads in the game.

This team came in too full of their press clippings. Utter embarrassment.
