I love this coaching staff is always on another level and pulling out all the stops for Green Bay.   The Jah Gibbs photo was absolutely staged and everything on that wall means nothing.   A red herring to suck time away from the Packers preparation and add useless information into the heads of their players.  

I'm not sure if it was real or not, but this possibility has to go through the mind of LaFleur.

If he does, the Lions are the team to get it out of him.

It makes me think Melifonwu is not coming back. Adams is probably the Rodriguez replacement. He can play a hybrid linebacker spot. Adams has always been a box safety who is a great pass rusher. I really like the move.

Keep plugging players in and keep winning. Is it the players or the schemes? Should we not worry about Green Bay or the Vikings? All of these defensive injuries......

[holygoat]

We should absolutely worry about GB and Minny. Why would we not?

Because we're better than they are? And we're at home? And we already beat them in their house? Or...our injuries will finally catch up to us and both teams catch us? Yes, worrying is warranted. 😆

Glad to see Davis is back at practice. Hopefully that means he plays on Thursday. Any updates on Iffy or Moseley?

Melifonwu is on IR, so he's not going to be back any time soon. Adams is basically the Melifonwu replacement. Moseley should be good to go. He and Campbell said they were just being cautious.

All the Lions have to do is beat Green Bay this week and the Lions don't have to worry about them anymore. Easier said than done and it'll certainly be a tough matchup but a true championship level team wins this game at home and puts away the Packers. The Vikings are another story, it'll likely come down to that last game but the Lions are also likely to be healthier by then, not projecting for other injuries happening between now and then of course.

The Eagles are the biggest playoff threat, to state the obvious. Perhaps the only team in the league with more overall talent than the Lions now playing to their talent level. It's clear that their late season nosedive last season was a fluke.

That's actually insane the amount of depth this organization has in all 3 phases. Might be one of the most well rounded rosters we've seen in the league in a long time. Doesn't guarantee a Superbowl of course but it sure helps the chances. Also of note that Hutch would likely be #1 on this list if healthy and Anzalone probably should be.

That nickname was used already. I think it was Greg Zurelien when he was with the Rams. Still, cool nickname regardless
