I honestly think it’s time to admit this team isn’t winning a chip and might not win a playoff game. The injuries are at critical mass, to the point even the depth is disappearing.

Probably lost a few step. But was a really good player at one point
If the playoffs started tomorrow, sure, but if we get the 1 seed then they don't start for 6 weeks. Also if the offense is hot we can still probably beat all but the very top teams even now.
Ben needs to stop the goofy shyt and lean into the offense's strengths. Pound the run and start taking some deep shots again to Jamo.
The offense is healthy. They should be scoring 35 each week. That can carry the defense until they get healthier.

Another week of him skating by without criticism. Sure there were some dumb penalties that cost us points but his stupid playcalling played a role too. It’s like every season there are multiple games of halves where he gets cute and just does whatever the fukk. Including risking his all pro RT on a trick play that didn’t need to be called.
I get Gibbs fumbled but he was damn near at 10 yards a carry. Barely got the ball in the second half. Montgomery wasn’t getting many carries either. Still can’t scheme easy routes to get our guys (LaPorta) started. Still won’t use Gibbs in the passing game consistently. We drafted Vaki who runs perfect Texas and wheel routes…don’t use him. I don’t get it man.
I get it, you’re true Lions fans and are going through complaint withdrawals. This time of year we’re used to firings coaches and identifying the new coaching staff and front office.
Let me remind you, we’re 11-1, and we won. We’ve been blowing teams out all while the chiefs can’t win by more than 1 score.
I have no reasonable complaints at the moment. I’m content.

@IrateMastermind my complaints are minor and largely about Ben Johnson. My concerns are injuries. I just don’t see how we can sustain with one good LB left, two d-linemen who are currently healthy, one edge, and a CB room that is one injury away from Vildor starting again. It seems like we’re cooked. I hope I’m wrong.
If they ain’t worried, I’m not worried. They live by the next man up mantra and it looks they’re ok with dying by it. This staff coaches and have proven to adjust the game plan based on the personnel they have. If it wasn’t for that, I admit I’d be concerned too.
They don’t need the 1 seed as much as they need to be healthy going into the playoffs. I’d be ok with them ending the season with 2 or 3 losses if it meant they rested players and no one else got hurt.

Let’s b honest here. Take our fandom out of it. This team will not be healthy going into the playoffs. And they will not just score 40 points on everybody. We have seen teams be able to adjust and slow this offense down. We just seen it 2 days ago. Now when that other team is also able to go up and down the field on a rag tag bunch on defense it’s gonna be trouble. That next man up will eventually catch up to them when it’s time for talent vs talent in the playoffs.

The smart move would be Aaron Glenn
