James Houston...inactive. Bummer.

The Lions have a much better roster than Tampa. This game is on the coaches...a prepared Lions team should beat a Tampa team. And Campbell always seems prepared. And he seems to always have his team prepared.

And it can be done better, for sure. The announcers immediately know who a penalty is on. The NFL could easily have a spotter watching on video and buzz down the right call. It would be seamless, take hardly any time at all. They already do it on scoring plays and turnovers.

Nobody will beat Baltimore. Unless...there is an injury or 2.

There would have been fans booing Jesus if he had a Rams jersey on. Kelly and her children aren't any different. She dresses her kids up in enemy garb and walks on the field past the rabid fans. What did she expect? It was her way to troll the starving fans. Shame on her.

Green Bay losing to SF would mean the NFC Championship game at Ford Field after we beat Tampa. But do we really want Love to advance? I don't want him to have any confidence going into next season. I did hear Green Bay needs to extend his contract. I hope they overpay him and then he comes back to earth. 😅

WCF was always hands off though. People wondered if he really cared or not. Allowing a team to be so bad for so long isn't a good thing. The opposite of Jerry Jones.

I don't know. Any coach who follows Bill Belichick will have to put up with all the comparisons that are sure to follow. It will take a really thick skin to deal with all the fans and media.

There's numerous sources that say the same thing....Brad Allen and his crew downgraded and won't be working playoffs. Really, they don't need him or his crew, there's plenty of officials for the limited playoff games.

Yeah, they announced they wouldn't get any playoff assignments. And while they blew the Lions game and it will be remembered, it only cost them a regular season game. But we avoided Green Bay and we got that 2nd home game we should have gotten by being the 2 seed. It worked out very well for us.

That player eligible call actually ended up helping the Lions. If we would have had the 2nd seed, we would have played Green Bay. This way, we got that 2nd home game and Dallas started their off-season. It worked out perfectly...Thank You, Brad Allen...😁

And I'm sure Brad will address any personnel losses. Jackson can be replaced thru FA and we can draft OL help. After all the injuries this season, we know this is a good area we need to address. Depth is one thing, quality depth is another.

If the Lions think they can get better production from a FA over Josh Reynolds, go for it. Otherwise, I'm sure he would want to stay here with Goff. And our OL knows they're more valuable as a unit than they are individually. I'm sure they would want to stay in Detroit, if we want them. Again, it depends if they think they can get better performance for the same price or not. Something teams need to avoid when they improve is to stay the same. We should always look to be improving.

The best news here is not having to see Nevin try to hit again.

Houston...Full Practice...activated!! https://www.detroitlions.com/news/notebook-lions-activate-edge-rusher-james-houston-from-ir

I agree with his top 3.

I don't know. An edge rusher may be more important. Even the best corner backs have a problem covering with no pressure on the QB. Getting consistent pressure on a QB makes the secondary look better.

I don't think Dan Campbell will allow his team to play unprepared. I'm not really worried about a letdown, I see the opposite. Lions will play loose with a ton of confidence. This may be a franchise defining victory!

Pretty cool condensed version of the playoff win. Some mic'd up players, different angles and Dan Miller on many of the calls. That guy will need a week off to get his voice back...lol

It was Staffords fault. Leading a receiver into a big hit has been a QB mistake for many years.

It looked possible but the Wing had either a bit more speed or the angle. Or both...

Daniels said "Wings on a power play with a minute still innit" He's a poet and didn't know it. 😁

Ahead of Toronto, alone in 3rd place. They do have 2 games at hand on us but...just keep winning!
