Cool. Good O-linemen very rarely get traded at the deadline, but go off, king.

Cool. Brad Holmes is willing to overpay for unproven commodities in Broderic Martin and Isaac Tesla, but not an interior lineman when his team's offense is predicated on the oline. No one was suggesting they give up a first round pick for one, but rebuilding teams like the Browns and Jets might have been willing to make a trade at the right price. Did we get a media report of the Lions being after one? All I remember was the report saying we were inquiring about a defensive player from Cincinnati.

interim coach spanking Dan with every unit

It looks like another year of Thanksgiving indigestion coming.

[RatkoVarda]

was going to say Giants want it more; but that assumes Lions are even interested in this game

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Finally, Gibbs breaks a big play and we get the TD. PHEW!!!

[holygoat]

Nice! Get a stop here, and they'll be in position to take this game over.

[Jason_R]

Let Winston beat you. No blitzing necessary.

What if the price for a good O-lineman was a 1st rounder? What then?

Your point about Holmes burning draft capital on draft reaches is solid, but it has nothing to do with acquiring an O-lineman at the deadline.

100%. 

[Jason_R]

This team misses Joseph and Arnold badly. 

[TP_Fan]

This defense is freaking awful.  Big play after big play.  Hutchinson is absolutely invisible right now.  

[lordstanley]

The defense has been as bad as the offense. Absolutely cannot allow a TD here. 

[Jason_R]

Nice hit. 

[TP_Fan]

Hopefully Campbell doesn’t must kneel on it like he didn’t last week.  

[TP_Fan]

Had to use the second time out. Would have had two shots at the end zone. The coaching errors are becoming tough to overcome. 

[TP_Fan]

Two weeks in a row with just bizarre and awful clock management from Campbell.  Kept a TO in his pocket again. Brutal. 

[Sports_Freak]

The offense is barely acceptable. The defense is totally unacceptable.

[holygoat]

Nice job getting the FG back. I feel decent about taking this game over in the 2nd half.

[Jason_R]

It feels like the staff came out not confident in the offense and hoping the defense could play overly aggressive and come up with an early splash play. Did not work that way. 

It was good to see Gibbs break one. I still believe the offense needs to run more through Montgomery. He is capable of explosive plays too (70+ yarder vs. Ravens) and it feels like the offense gets swagger from blocking for him. 

[RatkoVarda]

can Gibbs save Dan butt once again? probably

[TP_Fan]

Just horrible play calling out of halftime.  Campbell is calling some really dreadful offense.   And why aren’t we attempting a FG?  It was a 60 yarder.  Again, the coaching errors are becoming difficult to overcome.  

[Jason_R]

Looked like Hutch was limping a bit. 

[RatkoVarda]

not sure Winston is delivering the ball so quickly.

wouldn't it be better to hold onto the ball for a few more seconds and let the defense get to you?

[Sports_Freak]

Cool...Lions offense is better when they start deep in their zone.

If the was the asking price and it gets accurately reported as such then I would agree with Holmes, depending on the player. If it's a top Gaurd, who is under 27-28, and could be under team control for a 3-4 seasons I might consider that. But in all likelihood, I'm not trading a 1st. We don't know if they even asked though.
