I was at the uniform reveal.  The black jerseys were very popular.  Sold out very quickly at the store.  I personally really like them.  Love the way they look with the new helmet.

Goff was terrible when Anthony Lynn was here as our OC for the first 8 or so games of 2021. Goff looked leaps and bounds better when he had an OC come in that played to his strengths and designed plays that fit what Goff feels comfortable doing. The Head Coach stayed the same during that time period. The OC changed and Goff got markedly better with Johnson calling the plays.

The Head Coach also fired that OC and hired the new OC.  He will hire thr next OC as well.  If that doesn't work he will make the necessary changes.

Vikings about to go 0-2?  I think swift may get ore opportunity tonight.  I thought I saw the eagles lead back is out.

Eagles home opener, I would expect a Philly blowout.  

Vikings have the Chargers next week as well.

Yup. "Quiet! Offense at work!" would be better written as "Shut the f up you idiots!!"

My 8 year and 12 year old get so frustrated when people are loud.  My 8 year old gave someone the evil eye at the last game.  I've taught them well.

 As thrilled as I am with a win over a great team, if a couple of drops go the other way it would be different this morning.  Still have work to do in the secondary, but really nice win.  

Couldn't you say that about the Lions too though?  If Jones doesn't fumble on the 10 yard line that could have changed the game as well.  If the Chiefs don't false start every play or line up incorrectly the game would have been different.  If CJGJ doesn't drop the pick.  All I'm saying is the Lions had plenty of missed opportunities as well but they won.

Gibbs just missed a TD by slipping.  I cannot wait to see him just break away from defenders.  I thought, he looked really good in his first game.  He did not shy away from contact and he kept his legs going.  Montgomery and Gibbs looked to be a formidable duo. 

Couldn't sleep either last night.  Ended up rewatching the 1st quarter with NFL+.  Their right tackle did not line up incorrectly or false start in the 1st quarter.  Hutch really got screwed as the game went on.

Here's my guess.  I think Seahawks on Thanksgiving followed by Dallas the next Thursday.   Maybe the Bears in week 3 on MNF.

I did the schedule prediction competition in the Lions app and this is what I came up with. If I had to predict primetime games I would say @ Chiefs (TNF Season Opener), v. Raiders (MNF), v. Falcons (Thanksgiving), @ Saints (SNF), and @ Vikings (MNF).

I hope it doesn't start out like that.  That's a pretty brutal start to the season.  I can hear SOL now.

Yep, after I posted that I realized it said per game and not just a 500k bonus. Could end up making 10.5 million if he plays every game. 

I think it's a total of 500k.  Not 500k per game.

Johnson leaving was my #1 concern this off-season.  Now onto resigning our guys and fixing up that secondary.

Good call. How soon do we have to sign him before he hits the open market?

Based on the interview tonight and his previous interviews he isn't going anywhere.

I look the Lions to resign most of their own guys.  Reload in the draft and we will see what happens in free agency.  Most pressing need is secondary.

2024 1st for him... yes.

Jalen Ramsey would be awesome.  Not gonna happen but he would fit well on this team.

the lions "earned" a primetime game by being the packers' opponent in a game the packers have to win to make the playoffs.  😉

I think the Lions have earned a prime time game by going 7-2 in the last 9 games.  However, this game got flexed because it will be playoff relevant regardless of how the other games finish.  

Regardless if the Lions make the playoffs or not I want to keep Rodgers out of the playoffs.

Ideally that will happen, but I don't want Aaron Rodgers to get on a roll either.

Who are people rooting for in this Packers/Rams game?  I'm 50/50.  I want a good draft pick but I also want Packers to be eliminated
