Looks like The Lions solid season last year is paying off. Team has done well at box office .

Red was wise.

Warriors would be good

Doesn't matter.  NFL is doomed

[tower912]

The Lions secondary is doomed.

Of.course, you can say that every year.

Same old Lions until they win a playoff game.

Some modest good news

[tower912]

That is good news.

[Uncle Rico]

That is good news.

It is.  They won't have 12 given the ball away recklessly like he did last year and single-handedly costing the Packers a playoff appearance

Joseph appreciates AR making his career.

Lions Coach trying to tone down The Hype

[tower912]

Good.  Detroit didn't make the playoffs last year.   They had a 1-6 start.  7 games in, they were as bad as any team in the league.    They made a nice turnaround.   It means nothing this year.    New running backs, new secondary.   Wide receiver suspended for 6 games.

So, it is possible everything comes together and they win their second playoff game in 65 years.   That would be fun.

That's good news.  Didn't seem like a knee or ankle, came up kind of like an achilles tear so a calf strain would be great.

Sean Payton publicly trashes his predecessor Nathaniel Hackett: "It might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. That's how bad it was."

Payton's Broncos meet the Jets, where Hackett is now Aaron Rodgers' OC, in Week 5.

Hackett is Rodgers hand-picked OC, so I'd say Payton is probably right in his assessment

Bears really big into cross-training their athletes at different positions. Also gave Justin Fields reps at QB.
