Best Lions season in my lifetime most likely gets cut short due to injuries :francis:

Offense has to go nuclear rest of season. Every game will be a shootout. Might as well just chill on rushing Hutch back.

Best defense is a good offense. If Ben johnson is smart he’ll keep the defense off the field with a ball control offense and finish drives with points.

So lions will still be #1 seed due to conference record. They still control their own destiny. Bears and 49ers should still be wins despite injuries. Hopefully Vikings lose one so last game doesn’t matter for division. They have hardest remaining schedule with Packers, Seahawks, and Lions

We are fukkED. Not every injury is equal and McNeil/Davis were the 2 most important defenders left

I guess Davis could return for the NFC championship game if the Lions are in it. McNeil is done period for the season / playoffs though.

It’s over.

This is gonna bleed into next season too. Hutch should be fine long term since it was a clean break but he won’t be 100% in September. McNeill could miss most of next season, if not the entire season. Add in likely losing both coordinators and we could be in trouble unless we magically find a great three tech DT late in the draft.

I’m proud of this team and how hard they fought. We’re gonna get guys back in the coming days or week (Iffy, Rakestraw, maybe Anzalone). Everything was lining up, we just needed an ounce of luck. We lost a player in every game since Dallas….

Damn is Rakestraw or Melifunwu coming back soon? Cant have another postseason with Vildor starting at CB. Might need to play Robertson outside and put Branch back at nickle. Play Joseph or Melifonwu if ready at starting safety

They need to kick the tires on #90 and see if he’s still in playing shape and up for a reunion playoff run with the team that drafted him.

He just posted some Lions shyt on his IG. If he’s 270 or higher today definitely sign him and give him a few weeks to get on the celltech and be ready. I’d call JJ watt too
