In Brad Holmes we trust. For next season, Lions have $61 million in cap space and four picks in the first three rounds.
Are the Lions going to win the NFC North?

No one took the bet. I was actually pulling for the Lions last night. Lions defense and Goff under pressure.
The question appears to be if Campbell the Gamble only gets the team from point C to point B? Do they need him to settle down once they out talent teams? I don’t think they out talent playoff teams right now.
Campbell's tendency to go for it on fourth down is notable but far from the most valuable contribution he makes as a coach. The number of coaches whom you could label as Point B to Point A guys, normalizing for talent and luck, is very short. Campbell may or may not be that guy, but if he can be Mike Tomlin, as far as I'm concerned give him a lifetime contract.
Ben Johnson has informed Seattle and Washington that he's returning to the Lions.
Probably the best scenario for us, I had a feeling he was going to do this It was either Super bowl or return we’ve got some unfinished business and I look forward to the 2024 lions season.
Hope his predecessors didn’t have a Super Bowl or return approach to any opportunities or they would never leave Bloomfield Hills.
Sorry, I wasn’t even alive the last time the Lions played in the championship and I’m retired!
The Lions as a franchise reside in my hometown of Allen Park. A lot of Detroit sports stars do reside in Bloomfield Hills, but not all of them.
In a seriously good division, the Lions are definitively the scariest.
If the Bears start winning again, it’ll be Lions-related because Ben Johnson will be the head coach. Hopefully next year.
Lions at Texans on Sunday night. Should be a fun game. The Lions are currently favored by four, which sounds about right. The Texans offense has been surprisingly mediocre this season. Hopefully Nico Collins is back on Sunday.
Ben Johnson is not going to a franchise without a stellar GM. Is Poles that GM? Jury's out.
Well at least the Texans covered the spread. 🤢
Nice comeback win by the Lions, despite Goff's five INTs. Winners make plays when it matters, and the Lions did just that.
The Texans failed to score in the second half. Stroud floated a ball on what should have been an easy TD, and it resulted in a INT. That play changed the game. What could have been a 17 point lead instead kept the Lions hopes alive.
Regardless of outcome, it was an entertaining game. Good luck to the Lions the rest of the way. Perhaps this is the year they finally make the Super Bowl.
Amon-Ra St. Brown is open all the time, as anyone who watches the Lions knows, and anyone who looks at stats can infer.
But if you’re watching today, look for #14 on every play. He never takes one off. He is just a ferocious blocker — sometimes, the Lions will motion him toward the line, and he’ll immediately sprint to take on a third or second-level defender, just in case a run or screen makes it that way.
He is just electrifying, whether a pass or a run or a trick play or a screen or whatever. When he’s a decoy, he’s a hard-ass decoy.
Go Bears!

Seems inevitable at this point that the Super Bowl will be the Lions or Eagles against the Chiefs or Bills, but I guess that's why they play the games.
Lions injuries are adding up, the question is if they can compensate for the losses.
In any case, it does sound like there are a lot of Lions fans at the game today.
I was at this game last night. Great atmosphere. Thought to be possibly the biggest Lions home game in modern history. The stakes were so big - talk about the college playoff system, how do you have two 14-2 teams meet, tied for the best record in NFC, and the loser gets bumped from 1 seed, bye, home field advantage to 5 seed and playing wildcard round on the road? That needs to be rethought.
