Please let Houston get the 3rd down snaps all night. He has enough film of him bending around LTs on the outside that he can probably walk to he QB on the inside once or twice.
Worst case he is as good as the current DEs opposite of Hutchinson.
This team simply needs to perform to expectations tomorrow. We, the crowd, will put the team over the top.
The Lions need to feed off of us.
Just remember the 1-5 Lions up against the Dolphins in 2022. That crowd saw a 2-season long awful team trying and roared like crazy. We lost that...
I was bummed about LaPorta, but then I saw DPJ and Mitchell step up. I think we can weather the bad news offensively. Gibbs can take a more active passing role, too.
But defensively it looks like Nacua will get 200+ receiving yards and we will give up other chunk plays.
I can't wait to...
Saturday night, on the road, against Dallas is a good test for the Lions. It is like a playoff game. Both teams still fighting for a higher seed. Dallas trying to regroup. A win would be a huge confidence builder and give us home field over them.
But, if the Lions lose it isn't all bad. It...
Merry Christmas. Let's wrap this division up today! Stop the run on the way to pressuring Mullens. Make him throw more of those wild 500 balls like he did last week. I feel 3 or 4 picks for our defense!
One thing is clear. If the Lions F this up and don't win the division a lot of people will be dis-illusioned.
We are essentially a Chargers loss and Vikings win away from a dead heat. It is scary, but I think this team is built to compete and win.
Just as fast as this streak started 1 year ago it could evaporate. That is the jilted Lions fan in me not wanting to fully leap.
But damn is this team good. They are talented, tough, and smart. Even down a zillion to the Ravens they looked like they were still fighting.
I believe if this...
DPJ is a clear upgrade over Marv Jones. He should ramp up slowly in snap count as he gets into sync with the offense.
I wonder if we get that DeAndre Swift style rebirth from DPJ? That vast improvement happened to correspond with Swift returning to his home town...
We saw a dominant DE tonight. That player changed the look of 5 or 6 possessions. That player was unstoppable despite the Lions knowing he was their only DL playmaker. Crosby is a beast. Pay the farm to get him...
A DG when you are up 9 vs a punt (on this team). Could have buried them inside the 10. This puts another FG in play to make it tough for LV, but still two scores.
I will be in attendance tomorrow. Can't wait to hear and be part of that crowd noise. I hope our OL leans on their DL so we can control the game. Then it doesn't matter that St. Brown is out.
