It will be interesting to see what happens to Detroit after losing both coordinators. Are they still one of the top 2 teams in the NFC or is their a hiccup. They are so young at so many spots and should see improvement just from experience and almost have top be healthier than last year, so I suspect that will offset any brain drain, but...

"their" LOL at me...

also fair, but lesser - maybe a lot lesser - QBs IMO than Goff have had "full runs to a title". Or at least to the SB (or maybe lost, but not due to QB).

I rhink hoping for a Flacco run is dangerous.

Yeah pretty clear an elite of elite QB (or just elite) is usually what's needed to win a title. Most this century been won by a Manning, Big Ben, Brady, Brees or Mahomes.

But can at least have some hope with a Flacco or Goff if a really good team around him.....or just get some breaks.

I think the Lions will be very good again, they should be healthier than last year and they’ve got a lot of talent. Their major issue that I see is they need another edge rusher to step up besides Hutchinson, when Hutchinson went down last year that was absolutely devastating for their D because he’s their only strong pass rusher off the edge.
Losing both coordinators could affect them, but I doubt it plays a big factor, there is a boatload of talent in Detroit right now, they look like a Super Bowl contending team to me.

Marcus Davenport also got injured. Alim McNeill got injured, too, and I think they drafted someone like him in rd1. Whatever we saw last year doesnt really correlate to what they could be. But that is a question mark.

Yeah they drafted an interior D-Lineman, Tyleik Williams from Ohio St, in rd1. They had a slew of injuries last season, like I said, I would’ve liked to have seen them play the Eagles at full strength, because I think they could outscore the Eagles in a shootout, and I look forward to those two teams meeting in November of this season.
