You brave, brave man.the over
everything starts first week of February and counts backwards.Who remembers when the NFL was adamant about not starting until after Labor Day?
funny how money changed their views.Who remembers when the NFL was adamant about not starting until after Labor Day?
The 35th?What week do you think it is, right now?
Yeah, these guys had me doing a double take haha. Very disconcerting for me because I’m like wait…we won’t draft in my league until 9/6. Is the game tonight? WTF? Pump fake. Got me in the air. Drew the foul.
Haven’t read much about the Lions preseason but thinking back to last year, Dan Campbell is one of the only guys left that runs an old school style camp with 2-3 days and live hitting in camp. He also used starters more than most in preseason games. I thought they were the better team in the 2H of the Eagles/Lions game last year because of that. Some of that could come into play again if Campbell still does camp that way. Ironically, his old school camp led to a poor start. I think they were something like 1-6 or 2-7 before they came on strong to close their season. I remember from Reid being the Eagles head coach. They were always susceptible weeks 1-5/6. Reid’s teams didn’t always start great but they always seemed to finish the season on an improvement arc, playing their best football at season’s end. I think the Lions are a live dog here.Could be a great game... Lions played the Eagles very tough last year opening week... I expect the Chiefs to win at home but I wouldn't be surprised if Detroit won...
Lions by 3 scores. How ya been Rick?Let's get this season going. Best time of the year, who ya got?
Here's to a good season for your Lions Salut Smitty!!!Detroit didn’t play any of their offensive starters in the preseason. (Gibbs played limited snaps one game, six carries, but I view him as more of the #2 back than a starter.)
Only have two running backs and seven Olineman on the roster right now.
I’m somewhat expecting this to be a Rusty preseason like showing for them NEXT Thursday. Expecting some pass pro mistakes.
Would be a big help if Chris Jones isn’t back on KCs Dline though.
Good stuff. It looks like Campbell and his staff reassessed their preseason approach after the slow start last year. That’s great to see from coaches. Too many of these guys get stubborn and don’t have that ability to look inward with self criticism and adjust. I think you guys have a good one in Campbell.Detroit didn’t play any of their offensive starters in the preseason.
