Detroit Lions 2025 Season Thread

No problem since it was pee season but this is an example of grieving and honouring escalation. It started with Hamlin when the game was called. There is pressure and precedence to not play if someone is siriusly injured and incentive to take it another step. I hope it doesn't happen again but it's inevitable and it will be regular season or playoffs. Daryl Stingley was paralyzed in a pee season game and they carted him off the field and snapped the ball again.
Tied to Rosey. I needed the no action. Won a dime.
Dolphins are in for a long season…
Bears kicked Miami’s asses last week in their scrimmage also. Fish have some serious OL issues.
Dolphins have 6 offensive linemen out with injury #PrayForTua
I wish I shared your optimism DD, but I think with their tougher schedule, they will lose some close games. Probably finished with no more than 11 wins, 10 if they are lucky.
Is hooker a dead man walking?
Tesla is not only the steal of the draft. He may be an historic steal. He has superstar written all over him. Another Cooper Kupp. Complete opposite of the same ole Lions who almost never landed studs in the draft and usually duds. Reggie Rogers.
Reginald O'Keith Rogers (January 21, 1964 – October 24, 2013) was an American professional football player who was a defensive tackle who played four seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Detroit Lions (1987–1988), Buffalo Bills (1991), and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1992).
A consensus All-American for the Washington Huskies in Seattle under head coach Don James, Rogers was chosen seventh overall in the 1987 NFL draft by the Lions.[1] However, he only played six games of his rookie season due to a slew of emotional problems, even spending time in a counseling center.[2] His second season in 1988 ended after only five games when his car struck another vehicle and killed three teenagers early on Thursday, October 20.[3][4][5] He was later found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.15, the legal limit in Michigan being 0.10 at the time.[6] The Lions waived him in July 1989, not because of the felony charges, but because he broke his neck in the collision.[7] In 1990, he was convicted of vehicular homicide and spent 13 months in prison.[6]
Following his sentence, Rogers had brief stints with Buffalo and Tampa Bay, but was out the NFL after the 1992 season. He made his way to the Canadian Football League and played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1993–94) and one of the U.S. expansion teams, the Shreveport Pirates (1995). He played 33 games in the CFL and accumulated 18 sacks and 91 tackles in three-down football.
Rogers is often considered among the biggest draft busts in NFL history. In 2008, ESPN named him the 13th-biggest bust since the AFL-NFL merger.[8] A year earlier, Yahoo! Sports named him the worst #7 pick since the merger.[9]
On November 26, 2008, Rogers was involved in a hit-and-run collision in Tukwila that resulted in his arrest and a charge of DUI. It was his fifth arrest for DUI in the state of Washington, dating back to his college days at UW.[10]
Death
At age 49, Rogers was found dead at his home in Seattle in 2013.[13] An autopsy revealed that he died of combined cocaine and alcohol intoxication.[14]

Campbell said in his 5 years as HC, this is the most complete roster he's had from top to bottom!
Health (like most teams) will be the key this season. If the Lions stay healthy they win their division going away!
Maybe Ben Johnson was a difference after all?
You'll find out as the season plays out.
Other than the Steelers, Jets and Colts, almost all the offenses seemed rusty. And the Balt game is going on, but they have no rust.
The offense will be good but they are really missing Johnson.
If what happened to Aiden happened to me, I would not be able come back at the same level if at all. Physically he may be 100% but howid can he get back to 100% mentally? The fear factor of getting injured again has to be there even if a little and that tiny bit of doubt affects his play. He was getting hustle double teamed he probably was also last year. He did nothing. Bad sign. That and the offensive line spells doom if it doesn't change. Goof is no Joshy Allen. He faces pressure, he's Joey Harrington.
