The Ravens had a 1st-round grade on DE Zion Young, who they were able to land at No. 45… But they had a scare when the Lions traded in front of them at No. 44. Detroit ended up taking a different DE in Michigan’s Derrick Moore.

Help me find more information about this hat

I bought this a few years back at Lids, they had two and I bought them both. At the time, the attendant didn’t know anything about it, it wasn’t on their website, Googling found nothing, not on the team merch site, it was essentially a phantom. Since then I’ve had numerous people offer to buy it right off my head when in public. It’s my favorite Lions hat, and I just wish I knew more about it, but it doesn’t even seem to exist on the internet anywhere.

Ravens' inside footage of when the Lions offered #17 and #118, along with a 2027 3rd for #14. Baltimore had interest, but Detroit ultimately pulled the offer. The offer was initially made before Miami selected Kadyn Proctor at No. 12.

We literally have the easiest schedule in the league by far this year. We stay healthy, and we go into the playoffs 14-3 minimum

Our 4th place schedule this year puts us at #32 SOS, and because SOS does not affect playoff rankings like in cfb, I see us performing like the Patriots did last year making it all the way to the SB off little more than having the easiest schedule in the league.

Not gonna analyze this anymore because it's way toO early and this is obviously a shit take on assuming every team is equivalent to their strength last year.

LFG lions, and bite all the knee caps along the way back to the top.

Ensuring our Super Bowl 61 win

Gus will be wearing his lions jersey 61 minutes a day to until we win Super Bowl 61. I’m pretty sure the more pets we get to wear lions jerseys and the better the voodoo magic works.

Jack Harlow Ruined Thanksgiving

I just got reminded of his terrible halftime show on Thanksgiving that was the sole cause of the Lions losing that year because it was so bad. I just don't think he should get let off the hook for it so I thought I'd bring it back up.

5 key players that will make a difference in the Lions’ season:

Blake Miller: A rookie first-round pick stepping into the shoes of the team’s longest-tenured starting tackle. Decker was past his prime but still a serviceable starting tackle. If Miller can meet that level or improve on it, it will make a big difference in the Lions returning to winning form.

Jahmyr Gibbs: The Lions deciding to move on from David Montgomery puts Gibbs in position to be the bell-cow back. While this move carries tremendous upside, with him being a home-run threat every time he touches the ball, it also carries significant risk, as it places a smaller-framed back into one of the heaviest workloads in the league. Without Gibbs, the Lions’ offense could become very one-dimensional.

Tyliek Williams: Last year’s first-round pick is set to step into a much larger role in Year 2. During his rookie season, he broke from his college reputation by being surprisingly good as a pass rusher while also being surprisingly below average against the run. It’s possible he returns to being the player he was at Ohio State, but it could go either direction. If he develops into a strong player in both areas, it would be a major boost to the Lions’ defensive line. If his pass rush production was an anomaly and he fails to become the run defender he was in college, he could end up being a major disappointment.

Kerby Joseph: Through four years of his career, Joseph has recorded 20 interceptions. His playmaking in the secondary has been a key asset for the defense and has masked some of its weak points at times. He is battling a chronic degenerative knee condition that limited him to six games last season. If he is able to rehabilitate and return to the field as the player he has been in the past, it would be a major boost to a defense that will already struggle to replace other major playmakers lost from last year.

Alim McNeill: McNeill returned in Week 7 last year after an ACL injury and had the worst performance of his career. Prior to the injury, he had put together multiple seasons as a top-10 interior defensive lineman and earned a four-year contract extension. If he can return to the player he was before the injury, it would go a long way toward helping the Lions’ defense become one of the top units in the league. If he performs at the same level he did last year, however, it could end up being his final season in Detroit.

Bullseye Event Tailgate

Seems like they have ended their partnership this season which is extremely dissapointing, i paid less than 200$ of the ticketmaster price for a ticket that included all inclusive food drink shuttle and the game ticket in the lower bowl, anyone know if there will be a new similar option or program?

Lions explicitly chose not to have a bye after Germany game despite NFL offering, according to Justin Rogers

Was discussed last night on the episode of Lions collective:

https://www.youtube.com/live/DoeDfkTdtBY?t=655&si=LVNUeelzFORDNGQ9

Rogers said: "that stretch built around Germany... As far as I understand it, asked Rod Wood about it, the team had the option or not of whether to take the bye or not after the international game. They chose not to with the flow of the thanksgiving schedule."

Does 1st place vs 4th place schedule differ/matter that much?

I was looking at our schedule and the Bears', and it looks like we play essentially the same teams except for 3. They play Seattle, Philly, and the Jags while we play the Titans, Cardinals, and Giants.

I guess the difference between those teams is pretty significant so can't complain that much, but just seems like the difference between a 1st place and 4th place schedule should be more than that. Like 70-80% of our schedule's the exact same.

Not to mention them also getting to play teams like the Jets, Dolphins, Saints, Panthers, and Falcons as part of their "first place schedule", especially given how hard our schedule was last season smh.
