Official 2023-2024 Detroit Lions Thread.

The smart move would be Aaron Glenn

I think they'll want someone that leans to offense because of their QB.

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.

I am being realistic. If the team wasn’t telling me they expected guys back my tone would be different. I expect us to lose a few of the next games because of depth issues but I’m not willing to concede until the organization changes its tune.

When guys start having setbacks in rehab or extending out the recovery period, I’ll face then. I’m cool with y’all telling me you told me so if that day comes

Yall worry too damn much. Enjoy your ride to the SB this year

I'm not going to front. The injuries on defense are scaring me. If we get guys back, It will alleviate my concerns.

Anzalone
Rakestraw
Leaf
Mosely
and maybe Barnes will be back for the playoffs
Pashcal and Onwzurike are not down long term

Things look grim but there is some light at the end of the tunnel

Gibbs taking the “they know what we are gonna run and still can’t stop us” a little too seriously

I’m officially old because I don’t understand how grownups can be so immature.

This means Melfonwu might not be coming back

I think Adams will be used in packages like Buddha baker but with way less snaps. I think he’s big enough.

Justin Tucker is costing the Lions an additional game in the fight for home field advantage. No reason for Philly to be winning this game.

 

[IrateMastermind]

I’m afraid to say it but I can’t help but think this might be the most lions gonna lion season ever. Not because of the injuries but because of something else.

Is it possible for the lions, Vikings, and eagles to end up in a 3 way tie for first with all teams being 15-2? If we end up 3rd in tie breakers we’ll be the road team in the first round of the playoff

Tie breaker brehs, do something to make me feel good

The Eagles are frightening.

Prob just means they know they can’t count on him to stay healthy when he returns. Iffy is good enough to ball out for a few games but I like bringing in Adams just in case. Also while we don’t know the severity of the finger injury it certainly looks bad when Carlton Davis is out there playing with a broken thumb while he stays on the sidelines.

I assume this means more three safety sets. No need for three LBs until Anzalone comes back.

Brad Holmes going all out to plug the holes, I’m impressed.

The Eagles are frightening.

Philly doesn't worry me at all. They've had a cupcake schedule for two months and Baltimore gave today's game away (which is what they do).

Detroit has a lot of defensive injuries but their strength is still run defense, which Philly relies on. Barkley isn't going nuts on this defense.
