They'll have a tougher schedule (at least on paper. Things change, teams change)... but they'll be a better team too. I expect Holmes to have another good offseason and draft

Either way, what Campbell has done is completely change the culture with this franchise. Holmes too. Winning Lion teams of the past still seemed more to me like a collection of tangentially-related players. Not this group. It's a real team, and it's because of Dan. Even the 90s Lions weren't this together. Despite some decent seasons back then, there were still players who viewed their coach as a clueless bonehead. Erik Kramer has ripped Wayne pretty hard in recent interviews. Jimmy Williams thought he was a moron - he used to scoff at the way Fontes rode around the practice field in a golf cart like a clown, smoking his cigar. Even Mitchell mocked him. And the front office back then was broken. Not this group. They are together from top to bottom. Ownership, GM, players, and especially the coach

Yeah probably should've gone for at least one of those FGs. Sometimes Campbell blurs that line between aggressive and foolish. Still love the guy though

I don't think I can stomach another KC Super Bowl win. Gotta root for the team that just beat us

Wow. Lions had this game. They had it

I think the 49ers are really exposing the Lions flaws and needs. Time for Holmes to go to work

That's ballgame. Oh well. It was a great season. Bright future too!

So Purdy is Lamar Jackson now?

Man these play calls are spot on. Players are just not executing

Looks like Jamo got pushed there at the last second

WTF? Good playcalling, good execution, great throw.... and he drops it

SF with all the momentum now

Time for GRIT. Run this down their throats. Long drive, smashmouth TD

Ugh. Please don't let SF back in the game

Chase Young has been pretty much a nothing burger so far

Damn. I haven't had this much fun since I debated creationists in high school

A punch-mouth TD here would be sweet

Purdy looks irrelevant. Yeah I said it

They call me Mister Gibbs!

Well... ...we knew this wasn't going to be easy 🙂

Skip Bayless's jaw is still on the floor

You got it!

Smashmouth. I'm loving this. Maul the 49ers. Out-physical them

I wanna see Gibbs break a long one for a TD

I'm sick of hearing about 49ers "experience". Look at the dinosaurs. How long were they around - 160+ million years? That's experience. Are they still around today? I rest my case
