Our best chance for a win IMO. I think we get this one and then lose the rest and still pick in the top 3.

Just this one

Stenberg to IR this week with undisclosed injury

AJ Parker doubtful this weekend with neck injury that was first reported to be his shoulder this last game.

Tommy Kraemer promoted to 53 man roster

DB Worley released and then re-signed to practice squad (IDK why other than desperate for a body). Added OT Paulo back to P.S.

Probably will see N. R-C at slot if Parker isn't a go

Lions are the....

Hope they win and salvage my weekend.

Hock hanging on to that pass was impressive

The first five days after a weekend are the hardest.

You had to know they couldn't keep getting up for every game and playing that hard with the results they've had. But it's still October and they're at home against a bad team. I thought they'd be in this game. It's only gonna get worse from here if they're already giving up.

This one has been difficult to watch.


Glad I didn’t stay downtown to go to the game today, after heading down to watch Cunningham score two points last night.

I wish I had went to this game actually.

Not for the current game, but just to cheer on Spielman. One of my al time favorite Lions.

What horrendous effort today. Didn't think it could get any uglier than the Cincy game. Clearly I was wrong

That very first one? It sure was. It was a great play and the commentator didn't even mention it.

It was nice of the Lions to get their one good play out of the way early!

This has been really bad because the Eagles are clearly not a good team. If the thinking about Campbell is at least he gets a good effort out of them and they play for him.. well not today.

..and I cleaned my garage early so I could watch this.

Glad I did not change my plans. It was on the TV where I was so I saw bits and pieces. Looked like Sewell was getting beat like a rented mule. Goff sucks. He either checks down or bails out of the pocket backwards. The O-line sucks without Rags and Deck but that is to be expected. Looking like either 0 or 1 win this year. We might get 1st pick.

Did not get game locally but at least the improved their drat capital.

but at least they improved their drat capital.

I'm immune to the Schedule Fillers, Overpaid Actors and Sandbaggers. About the only thing the Lions have prove is they're great at licking their nuts.

Underrated skill

From what little I saw on Red Zone seems they are missing a lot of pieces, who is the GM is there blame to be put there? And if they end up with the number 1 pick does anyone beside me see the value in trading that?

The GM and Coach got fired at the end of last year, the new regime got 6-year contracts, and instantly traded the little talent they had for future picks. This is year 1 of a complete teardown, so lack of talent is not a shock.

The first draft for the new guys appears pretty solid. The first 3 picks are trench players and all have been decent, Sewell could be an absolute monster.

I would only be willing to trade the #1 if they had plans to use it on a QB. Kyle Hamilton or Thibodeaux are 2 players I would be happy at staying at the 1 for.
