Jefferson looked like... Jefferson. He might be better than Calvin tbh.

The ghost of SOL was rearing its ugly head in the last 5 minutes. Bad playcalling (what are you doing Ben Jonhson?), dumb penalties, Commish jump on the ball ffs, Jefferson with a Hail Mary catch but they extinguished that ghost somehow. After 30 years of pain, I don't care how they won it but they won it. Now lets aim for that 2 seed.

They haven't played a competitive game since before Thanksgiving. They're not only losing games, they're getting blown out every single game, this isn't just the worst team in NBA history it's the worst team in sports history and it might not be all that close. Thank god for the Lions, wait....what did I just say?

Could JEIII slob Tom's knob any harder? How embarrassing

Hey guys, stop chanting "sell the team" because they do good work in the community, you're being ridiculous getting upset with an owner of a 2-25 team and hasn't won a playoff game since 2008. They're good in the community (which makes them special I guess) so leave them alone Nand keep paying for overpriced seats to watch a completely unwatchable product. Is this guy serious with those comments? But don't worry, changes are coming. Not Monty or Troy because good ole Tom is "all over them" but maybe the janitor or one of the people that shoots T-shirts into the crowd. Changes are coming guys.

I think they might lose 77 in a row. I mean, they're not even close in these games, the Memphis, Washington and Utah games all at home were pretty much double digit losses. It's actually comically bad at this point and the sadistic side of me wants to see how far they can take this losing streak.

He really hates the media, doesn't he? He always seems agitated in media sessions, the guy is probably sick of talking and just wants to get out there and hit people.

No doubt, he's a future HOF but this is also a draft filled with great players maybe one of the best non-QB drafts of all time when all is said and done. Parsons, Sewell, Darrisaw, Slater, Dickerson, Chase, Waddle, Smith, St. Brown, Surtain, Horn, Hufanga etc. Could be 3-4 all time greats in there. I'd also like to add McNeil just to sip on more Holmes kool-aid.

I think B is hogwash. I don't think anybody expected Cade to be a LeBron or Luka. Luka-lite is what some billed him as but nobody expected him to be some generational talent that can carry a carcass of a roster to relevancy. Like 95% of the players in the league, Cade needs some help to form a winning team, he needs a robin to run with like Tatum has with Brown or Booker had with CP3 in his early years or SGA has with Williams, Dort, Chet, Banchero with Wagner (who is really underrated) etc. You know what Cade gets? Hayes who should be nowhere near a starting lineup, a rookie Ausar who can't shoot worth a damn, Stewart who should be nowhere near a starting lineup and Duren who is a putback/lob center at this point in his career and is very green still. He's had Bogey in recent games but he's like the anti-Ausar, good scorer but can't play a lick of defense. I'm sorry but who outside of the very elite players can carry that team to anything more than a few wins. Granted, the 23 game losing streak doesn't look great on Cade as one of the leaders but he's in this fight alone essentially.

And you can't even blame him for Elliott since CJGJ was the replacement plan and has been injured. Holmes best move since last deadline might very well be getting assets for Hockenson and Swift while drafting much cheaper options in Gibbs and LaPorta who are arguably better already and have more upside and executing the draft day trade to land both Gibbs and LaPorta so it's essentially Gibbs+LaPorta+lots of cap space for the next 3-4 years+better beans for Swift+Hockenson and their new contracts. Not that Swift and Hockenson aren't good players but this was a stroke of genius from Holmes.

As long as the Lions have a chance to get the 2 seed, everybody should be playing.

The Rams are the team I'd want to play the least out of that group. Any of the NFC North or South opponents the Lions SHOULD be able to handle if they play their game. The Rams or Seahawks would be the toughest matchups because of the starpower. The Lions should beat any of these opponents at home though, SHOULD, lack of playoff experience pretty much everywhere outside of QB is one of my biggest concerns.

No chance. Dallas will be favored by 4 or 5 most likely. Dallas will obviously be favored to win that game but it's not an insurmountable task, the Lions have generally played good games in Dallas throughout the years even last season when the team was decimated by injury at their low point and had a chance in the 4th.

The Lions now control their destiny for the 2 seed. The next 2 weeks will be really tough games but it's all there for them now.

He might make his return to Detroit before then.

I can only see Tomlin and Vrabel being gone if they choose to resign, I can't see Saleh being fired yet either due to the Rodgers injury. Rivera and Smith are toast. McDermott is likely gone if the Bills miss the playoffs or even if they lose in the 1st round I'd think.

I think he wanted to challenge one of the calls at the goal line and Wilson snapped the ball before he had a chance to. Denver got screwed several times on that possession by the refs, wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game but still noteworthy considering that the Lions have usually been on the other side of that.

I wonder if Ben was saving some Gibbs and Jamo plays for the playoff stretch. Kind of keeping the weapons on the shelf until they REALLY need them. He's a really smart guy so that wouldn't surprise me.

I hope this narrative that the Lions haven't beaten good teams dies now. The Broncos were arguably the hottest team in the league and the Lions wrecked their donkey asses. Still a longshot but if they beat Minny next week, the game against Dallas could potentially be for the 2 seed or even home field throughout if everything breaks right. This win allows us to think bigger now.

Uh yeah, that was a decent half I'd say. Now don't **** the bed in the 3rd quarter for once and take this puppy home. Going forward I'd like to see more Jamo and Gibbs especially on that turf. Nobody can contain their speed. Get them in space and profit.

This may be the worst team in sports history, period. The games aren't even competitive, which was the last game that came down to the last couple of minutes of the 4th? We're talking about a month ago possibly. This is history we're witnessing, for all the wrong reasons.

Cade with 4 points, now he's broken as well. Monty Williams might be the worst thing that ever happened to this franchise outside of Gores and I don't say that lightly because there's a lot of candidates to choose from over the last 15 years or so.

Oh I don't know, I would just like to see that Weaver has a pulse but I'm sure he'll be like a fly on **** the moment the next reclamation project becomes available.

The Pistons should be all over Markannen yet I don't see the Pistons anywhere on the "interest" list. I guess he shoots too well, or isn't a failed former high pick or a center or a guard/forward that can't shoot so why would they need that guy?

I disagree. I think he wants to win as evidence by him giving an unlimited budget to pour into getting HIS guy, I just don't think he knows how to win as evidenced by his complete inability to hire competent people. The will is there but the execution of the plan is severely lacking.
