Welp

Oh no, Brock Wright got in the way.

A Tight End who can catch on the Lions. 😁

Ohhhhh I do love what Goff, Johnson, and St. Brown can do on play action.

Multiple blown containments where Mahomes could have been taken down. That's what makes him the very best in the NFL though. He makes magic out of thin air.

Wide open. Oh well, we knew it'd be a fight and it is.

Boy a stop here would be big.

They gotta get more pressure back on Mahomes.

They should have had Mahomes down there.

Run D looks good so far.

Dan Campbell has the biggest balls in the entire league. That was an important first score and set the tone.

TOUCHDOWN DETROIT LIONS!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, he had it.

Way to go Jared!!!

What the ****

Big stop right there!

He's getting too much time in the pocket.

When can we start complaining about play calling??? LOL

Yep, just once in our lives.

I hope Aiden buries Mahomes ass in the turf. I think Campbell and Glenn are going to be aggressive tonight.

I was just coming, cuming, to say that. They are slobbering all over KC and everyone of their analysts picked the Chiefs. **** that and GO LIONS!!!!!!! Let's shock the world boys!!!

It's not linear, but I do not believe they will get off to the slow starts they did each of the last two seasons. I have them going 6-2 into the bye week and building from there to get to 12 wins. I should be more pessimistic after 36 years on this Earth of getting the rug pulled out from under me every time I have believed in this team. But you can't compare prior regimes and teams to what is presently on the field and who is presently running the organization. What Sheila Ford-Hamp, Brad Holmes, Dan Campbell, and co. doing genuinely looks and feels different than what we have ever seen in the past. This isn't the 11-5 Lions about to turn around and lay an egg the next year by going 4-12. This is a team that has made meaningful and significant offseason improvements. Improvements that will allow them to substantially build on what they did last year down the stretch. I expect great things from this team, up to and including, both a division win and playoff win at home.

My predictions for the season as I said in the other thread. . . Wins: Seahawks, Falcons, Packers (Week 4), Panthers, Bucs, Raiders, Chargers, Bears (Week 10), Packers (Week 11), Broncos, Cowboys, Vikings (Week 17) Losses: Chiefs, Ravens, Saints, Bears (Week 14), Vikings (Week 15) NFC North Standings: Lions 12-5 Bears 9-8 Vikings 8-9 Packers 4-13 NFC South Standings: Saints 9-8 Falcons 7-10 Panthers 6-11 Buccaneers 4-13 NFC East Standings: Eagles 13-4 Cowboys 11-6 Giants 6-11 Commanders 3-14 NFC West Standings: 49ers 13-4 Seahawks 9-8 Rams 5-12 Cardinals 2-15 AFC North Standings: Bengals 14-3 Ravens 12-5 Browns 8-9 Steelers 8-9 AFC South Standings: Jaguars 10-7 Titans 7-10 Texans 4-13 Colts 3-14 NFC East Standings: Jets 12-5 Bills 11-6 Dolphins 10-7 Patriots 5-12 NFC West Standings: Chiefs 13-4 Chargers 11-6 Broncos 10-7 Raiders 5-12 NFC Playoff Teams: Division Winner #1: Eagles, Division Winner #2: 49'ers, Division Winner #3: Lions, Division Winner #4: Saints Wildcard #1: Cowboys, Wildcard #2: Seahawks, Wildcard #3: Bears AFC Playoff Teams: Division Winner #1: Bengals, Division Winner #2: Chiefs, Division Winner #3: Jets, Division Winner #4: Jaguars Wildcard #1: Ravens, Wildcard #2: Bills, Wildcard #3: Chargers NFC Conference Championship Game: Eagles 35 vs. Lions 31 AFC Conference Championship Game: Bengals 42 vs. Chiefs 34 Super Bowl: Bengals 34 vs. Eagles 28

10 games is a 1 win improvement over last season. I think they can and should do better.

Chiefs 30 - Lions 24. I love this team and what I believe they are going to become this year. While I believe that truly great teams will find ways to beat Kansas City, I think it is an awful lofty task to ask them to go into Arrowhead and beat the defending Super Bowl Champs on the road. I think this game is a dogfight and we lose a close one in the end. Just please, oh please don't let it be something the refs did or some new rule we've never heard of that ends up costing us the game.
