One of the all-time ballers.  Glad his parents can watch him.  But whatever that stat is supposed to mean, other than that he’s diverse, the numbers seem kind of arbitrary.  Were there any rookies with 8 sacks, 2 interceptions and 3 fumble recoveries?

He played great today.  He was all over the field and was very disciplined at defensive end.  They put some the hammer on Fields all game..  The Lions have been a pleasant surprise and he has gotten better and better.

Imagine if he was as good as Kayvon Thibodeaux lol

But with his INT today, that ties him for 1st all time with 3 picks by a D- Lineman in a season

Detroit has a lot of good young players. I'm not sure if they can beat the packers on the road but the game will be closer than this Vikings game on now. If they can win, we will be hoping the Rams defeat Seattle. Goff looks like he is the QB for some years. After last season I was thinking the Lions would need to draft a QB. Overall, it is a much better season then I would ever have predicted for the Lions. I think next season they will be in contention for the division win.

Holmes has done something that several predecessors could not, and that’s get impactful talent throughout the draft.  And it’s showing on their young and productive D line, a well built O line and an unexpected stud in Amon-Ra.  
 

I figured on a 6 win season maybe 8 at best.  But I thought if they could hit 8 then their problem would not be at QB.  And it looks like they won’t need to use a high pick on a QB this time?  Could still use help in LB corps, maybe another CB and a guard. 


I really didn’t think they had a realistic shot at post season and here they are possibly playing for it next week.

I know you Lions fans have been here before, but for what it’s worth, it looks different this time. They are building through the lines, they have good young skill position players, the culture appears to have shifted. Campbell is a coach that guys will run through a brick wall if he asked them to.

I have always rooted for the Lions because there was a kinship with their fans because of how inept and awful the Bengals were at the same time. Now we get to see what the world looks like when they are both relevant in playoff conversations in January.

Ahh, the ole 7.5-3-2. The most covered NFL achievement, one that every schoolboy dreams of accomplishing. Undoubtedly, this will be discussed for millennia to come.
