At the beginning of the year and in the preseason I told myself I didn't so much care about the number of wins this season as I did seeing improvement. As long as I saw improvement, that was what would matter to me more than win totals. Individual player improvement, improvement among positional groups, and improvement by the coaching staff. Early on in the season it looked like there was little player development and growth among this team. The defense was historically bad, a coach got fired over it, and it felt like our defense was regressing and not improving. I know I was on the cusp of wanting Aaron Glenn fired and Dan Campbell on the hot seat for early next year. When the team went 1-6 the wheels could have fallen off and we would completely spiraled and gotten worse from there. It didn't though and Dan Campbell and company kept the train on the tracks. Not only that, we saw a tremendous amount of growth from young players on this team and we got markedly better. St. Brown, Wright, Sewell, Hutch, Rodrigo, Okudah, Joseph all took major steps forwards as players. The defense went from the worst in the league and got progressively better, with a few hiccups like the Panthers game. The coaching staff put this team in a position where opposing teams finally had to take us seriously and play us with the respect that we were going to beat them. I think the beginning of this season left a lot to be desired and made the future of this regime and coaching staff look real bleak. But they all, collectively turned it around, in a way we have almost never seen this organization, under Ford ownership, actually do. There is a lot to build off of for next year and I expect them to get very aggressive in the offseason. Before any cuts, trades, or restructures happen it looks like they will have around $28,000,000 in cap space and they should be out to use a good portion of that. I want a splash free agent signing on defense at position of need. Let's hope Holmes is smart but aggressive this offseason using that cap space on defense and makes some big improvements at positions like DT, OLB, and Corner.

Alright Brad Holmes, go spend some money and put this team over the top! A good offseason and I truly believe we can be kings of the NFC North.

I really had it in my mind that it was like 15 or 20 years ago.

Jamaal Williams is fucking legit! Love this guy. Watch his post game interview, it's gold. Fox 2 tonight.

When is the last time we swept the Packers?

They were 5-1 in the division. This team is going to be a bitch to play going forward in the NFC North.

I LOVE Dan Miller!

Screw Aaron Rodgers and all that "I can't believe we lost to them" talk. Hey buddy, you just lost to us twice now.

HELL YEAH!!! FORWARD DOWN THE FIELD!

Do you go for it?

That was risky AF. WOOOOOOOW!!!!!!

The bus is full if they win. They're gonna win! I keep telling myself they're gonna win!

Why not take the first down?

That's a catch between his legs. Great catch, process and all.

This dude has Rodgers number. I believe Tirico said that was his third INT on Rodgers in his short career.

Hasta La Vista Green Bay!

PICKED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

Brad Holmes has a great relationship with Rams GM Les Snead for obvious reasons. If Sean McVay is splitting and leaving town and they end up in cap hell with no draft capital they may feel the need to rebuild. At that point, I would assume all players are on the table, Ramsey included.

Touchdown to retake he lead. Now bury the Packers and close out the season knowing you cost Green Bay a playoff chance.

He needs to be ejected . . . GOOD!

If the Rams are going to be rebuilding would you want the Lions to be willing to inquire about trading for Jalen Ramsey? Would you give up the second 1st to get him?

Hell yeah!!! I hope That TD spoils the Packers playoff chances!

I'm still not certain if the flag thrown was for Douglas just walking up and knocking the ball away from the center. I don't see how the line can be set, ready to call a play, and then an opposing player can just walk up at the line of scrimmage and touch the ball like that. That action itself has to be a penalty. Only the official can set the ball and then the center can touch it pre snap once it's set.

Defense looking good anyways. Keep playing strong guys and send Rodgers packing.

WTF??? How can Douglas touch the ball like that? Edit, ok, that was a penalty. Good.
