I don’t want to hear any excuses about health or injury.
- CJGJ played 2 games
- Moseley played 4 snaps
- Houston played a game and a half
- Alim is out
- Jamo missed 1/4 of the year
- St missed multiple games
- Gibbs and Monty missed time
- 10 different Oline combos
Y’all said “Let Brad Cook” he gave you the most explosive playmaker in the draft and the best LB.
Where did the trust go. We have 8 picks left and not many needs. See it through to the end then grade the final product.
Yea but not really. Trading to 12 for Gibbs gifted them Sam Laporta and gave them the capital to trade up for Brian Branch. 3 Impactful starters and an upgrade at RB plus an extra 4th is good business
The Lions this offseason got the
-
#1
DT in FA
-
#1
OG in FA
-
#1
CB in the Draft
- Traded for a CB1
- Top 7 CB at 61
- Future Starting G in the 6th
- Starting Edge
Add all of this to a top 5 team in the league
Amon Ra and Jerry Jacobs actively recruited Jalen Ramsey and everyone was happy and hyped.
Jameson Williams privately likes a post with his picture on it and he is the villain.
If Goff is that sensitive then he shouldn't be starting in the NFL (Goff is not that sensitive)
Brad Holmes through 2 Drafts
- Penei Sewell (Top 10 RT)
- Alim McNeil (All-Rookie Team)
- Amon Ra St Brown (Top 20 WR)
- Aidan Hutchinson (Potential DROY)
- Josh Paschel (Huge Impact in Debut)
- Kerby Joseph (3 turnover-worthy plays in last 2 games)
- Malcolm Rodiguez
The Lions had the best Run D in the NFL last year. They added Reader and Davenport plus have Campbell going into year 2 (it should get even better)
Then you add a revamped secondary with Davis, Arnold, Rakestraw, Moseley, Robertson. There is no way the defense isn’t top 10
The Lions are getting CJGJ back Vs Dallas
The Lions are getting James Houston back for Minnesota (Potentially)
The Lions are Likley getting Alim back for the WC
Dream Lions 2024 Defense
DC (Salah if fired by jets)
Hutch
Alim
Paschal
Allen (FA)
Campbell
Anzalone
Barns
Sutton
Burke/King/DaJean (Rd 1)
Branch
Joseph
CJGJ
Also add a CB3 (Vet in FA, as well as a vet DL like Kinlaw)
The Detroit Lions Have
- A Top 10 QB
- A Top 3 RB Duo
- A Top 5 WR
- A Top 5 TE
- A Top 1 OL
- A Top 3 OC
- A Top 15 Pass Rush
- A Top 5 Run D
- A Talented, Upgraded Secondary
- A Top 10 DE
- A Top 5 DT Duo
- A Top 10 LB Core
- A Top 5 Front Office
- A Top 10 Coach Staff
The Lions have some really good Linebackers but they use them very oddly. Campbell and Barnes seem to play every other drive while Anzalone is the constant. The problem is Barnes and Campbell are more impactful than Anzalone in most plays. Campbell and Barnes need snaps together!
Lions Fans are so negative. If a guy isn’t an All Pro as a rookie he’s a bust 🤦🏻♂️. Brodric Martin was great on MNF but people calling him a bust because it’s only his first game
Lions Draft Night Situations at 6
A+: Will Anderson/ Jalen Carter
A: Tyree Wilson
B+: Witherspoon, Gonzalez, Richardson
B: Lucas Van Ness,
TBD: Trade Down
F: Anything Else
I Love Monty and he will still be the bell cow but Jahmyr has got to stay around 15-20 touches a game the way he is playing.
IMO it should be
Between the 20s
(Gibbs 70, Monty 30)
In the Red Zone
(Monty 70, Gibbs 30)
@AnthonyWriter5
I can see them playing 4 S, 4 DL, 2 CB, and 1 LB in Dime coverage. So many of the safeties they have can flex to a Coverage LB or slot CB role.
2021: Sewell fell to 7 somehow
2022: Hutch fell to 2 dispute being clearly the best player in the draft
2023: Will Anderson / Jalen Carter will be a Detroit Lion at 6 dispite being the best 2 players in the draft
@bigsgjamo
If you are seeing this. Not all Lions fans are biased and praying for you to fail. There are a lot of us who want you to succeed and thrive. Don't let them get to you, we stand behind you
I think the Lions might be in for an All-Time Rookie Class from 2023
- Gibbs (Already a big weapon)
- Campbell (Shining in Games)
- Laporta (TE1)
- Branch (Starting S)
- Martin (Good Play so Far)
- Sorsdal (Impressive in Preseason)
- Green ( Explosive WR in Pre Season)
UDFA⬇️
RUMOR: Eagles have reportedly made calls with the Lions, Raiders, and Falcons to gauge the price of trading up, per Charlie Campbell.
The calls are rumored to be a trade up for Georgia DT Jalen Carter.
Tonight solidified the Lions should make a trade for a pass rusher across Hutch. Alim was good in the middle and Okwara did get a sack but it still felt like there was a lack of edge rush. Sweat, Young, or Crosby could truly put this team over the top
This is the Front 4 I want to see more of (when healthy)
Irvin (Ideally Houston)
Alim
Paschal
Hutch
See what happens when your best 4 pass rushers all rush the passer together? Guess how many times this 4 rushed in the game together
Iffy Melifonwu has (Basically) Contributed a turnover for 5 straight weeks
- 4th Down Stop vs Bears
- Strip Sack vs Broncos
- Game Winning Pick vs Vikings
- First Drive INT vs Dallas
- Pressured Mullins on the Sutton Pick off the Blitz
Counter Point:
BH got 5 starters pre draft
Sutton
Mosley
CJGJ
Montgomery
Jones
Drafted 5 Starter / Significant Roleplayers
Gibbs
Campbell
Branch
LaPorta
Martin
And ended the off-season with more cap space than he started with.

Lions hopefully make a signing today

Updated Lions Healthy Starters
QB: Goff
RB: Gibbs / Knight
FB: Cabinda
WR: St Brown, Reynolds, Raymond
TE: LaPorta
LT: Sewell
LG: Jackson
C: Ragnow
RG: Glasgow
RT: Nelson
Still a strong Offense especially if Decker can return soon
@Devoted2DET
Why would they. Hutch, Houston, Paschel, Okwara, Okwara, Harris, Cominsky all play edge. Edge is probably the best position on the defense
@FrostyTalksFB
@MySportsUpdate
The Lions had 2 players get All Pro Votes. LaPorta was 3rd in ORPY and Gibbs was 4th OROY. Branch and Campbell finished 5th and 6th in DPOY
The fact that the lions still have 22 million in Cap is crazy to me! How do you sign
-Sutton
-Mosley
-Monty
-CJGJ
-Glasgow
-Buggs
-Cominsky
and walk away with more money than you started
It feels like a massive deal is about to happen with the Detroit Lions. after the renegotiations the lions have over 27 million. You don’t clear that kind of money just to have it. The lions will make a splash
Despite the Lions being a very well-built team with few holes I do think their UDFA class was really good to the point that 3 or 4 will end up making the roster
Lions Fans are so toxic about every move. Firstly the team will be incomplete until June. Secondly not every player is going to be perfect. Thirdly and most important the team has gotten better with ever signing so far
The Detroit Lions just beat
- The reigning Super Bowl champs
- With the best QB in the league
- With the best HC in the league
- In one of the toughest environments in the league.
- After a ton of offensive miscues and drops
Don’t tell me they didn’t earn it.
Can we please take Benito Jones off the field. He is such a non factor for the defense, never makes plays, and get moved off the ball a lot. Bohanna is so much better
Biggest Differences vs Denver
- Me with an absolute clinic jinxing them
- Quality boundary CB play (Vildor and Dorsey)
- Blitz Packages by AG
- Elite play from Ifeatu
- Starting Oline being healthy
Some Bad
- Campbell still playing edge
- A few undisciplined plays
- Goff Deep
