Detroit Lions 2025 Season Thread

how different is this vs. let's say if he was injured for the first 10 games of the season and now he's rehabbed and ready to go. Supposidly, he's in playing shape. Let's see what happens.
 
The Lions are dunzo. I think we now know that the real genius of the offense was Ben Johnson. The Lions became a bit fraudulent, they havent beat a meaningful team since week 3. Dan Campbell taking back the play calling is a bit of a panic move. The 4th down tries are unimaginative. 0 for 7, most of which running up the gut with a sub par offensive line. Jamo did drop a easy catch on 4th down which is on him not Campbell. Lions are an above avg team, but they cant beat the other above avg teams. They are outcoached. I dont think we beat Dallas, who has a chip on their shoulder after we ran it up last year doing trick plays up 40. That will come back to bite us with Dallas seeking revenge. Game probably soars over the over.

Yup, last yr they could run on 4th and make it, this year they cant, not to mention last year they usually had the lead and going for it on 4th and failing was not fatal.

Campbell was always just a dumb jock coach.

If Goff doesn't get time , he's a Dead Duck.

Can't get out of the pocket and improvise.

Love Campbell's positive approach...absolutely hate his gambles throughout the game...seems very reckless.
Lions year was last year and they could not get it done
 
Season is still not over, but I don't see them getting past any quality teams, i.e., Rams, plus they have to go to Chicago the final week in January, which is a pretty big ask for them to win that game. They embarrassed the Bears running it up in the prior meeting, just like they did Dallas last year. If there's no playoffs, then I look for them to regroup, and figure out what they need to do to get back to where they were.

As much as the Bears fans want them to beat Green Bay, the players and coaches have the Detroit rematch circled.
 
This is it. Lions have to win next 2 or they are practically or actually out. Prove it. 2 playoff quality games. Should be able to run it after that. Whatever their problems, have a solid quarterback, 2 stud receivers and 1 stud rb. That should be enough.

I think the Lions problems run deeper than that. You have a coach running unimaginative plays on 4th down, when if you take the points, could alter the flow of the game. You have a banged up and injured defense. Hutch's wallet is weighing him down, he's not the same player since the contract signing. You also have a revenge spot for Dallas. No team like to be shown up, did Dallas circle this game, a stand alone national game, since the schedule came out in May??? I'm guessing probably yes.

Great play FairWarning.....I was thinking that myself. Game has over written all over it, Dallas can't stop anyone either.

I'm actually considering the under. YTD numbers Dallas has a bad D, but definitely improved since the trading deadline, as they've allowed only 70 rush yards/game L3. St. Brown and Gibbs are the keys to that O; if St Brown is a no go, really hurts the Lions O.

54 1/2 is a big number in the NFL. Not much room for error in red zone if one bets the over. Both teams off very big TG games; Detroit having faced arch rival GB; KC obviously a non conf opponent for Dallas, but perceived as the dominant franchise over the past 6-7 years. Letdown off that win?

I saw this from Adam Chernoff

Dallas Cowboys Detroit Lions Over 53.5
Playing into one of my favourite angles here. Overs in defacto playoff games early December. They tend to draw out more aggression and desperation from teams, especially in the second half, and both of these teams are dream candidates if chasing from behind. Dallas offense continues to score points at a crazy high rate per drive, and now get a reprieve against this Lions defense after facing the Eagles and Chiefs in back to back games. Lions got more bad injury news in their defensive backfield today, with some comparing the injuries at DB/S to last season. With it being a road game indoors, I expect the Cowboys to keep moving as they have been, the only times we have really seen them struggle is outdoors on grass. Lions are just a great over partner. Last week I wrote about the Lions desperation with the play caller change. Even without St Brown, the team still managed 6.0 per play against a great Packers defense. I expect they lean on the run a bit more early to open up play action against an over rated Cowboys defense.
 
Meanwhile, I don't really want to go to Ford Field tomorrow night. it's a 90 min drive to get there. 8pm start and it's supposed to be freezing cold tomorrow. Put my tix up on Stub Hub last week. Had them at a premium. After the GB loss, the market crashed. Lowered the price to just my cost (season tix price divided by 8). The face value is $940 for the pair, as the Lions have variable pricing. No one is getting that. Call it a day, watch from home and carry in some pizza! Next home game is Pittsburgh, which i'll go to that. Final home game of the year.

54 can be a key number in high totalled games. I wonder if Chernoff would make that bet at 54 1/2?

Funny howid the Swifties and Patriots never had this problem during their Satanic Show runs.

Nothing funny about their runs, a lot of it comes down to being lucky health wise, the teams that win typically stay relatively healthy. Oh, it also helps to have Brady and Mahomes at QB
 
What I would do. Replace tight end with another big ugly. Add 7th big ugly as fullback and alternate between that and Tesla as 3rd WR. Defenses will have to get bigger and slower. When that happens, Amon and Jameson and Tesla will get open looks and Goof should have pocket protection. They no longer have a legit tight end. Change the equation. Nothing to lose.
 
Lions basically win out. I do not think they can win in Chicago, outdoors, in whatever weather elements occur that day, vs Ben Johnson who was showed up by Dan Campbell in the last meeting.

Therefore, it appears no playoffs, and those who bet under 10.5 season wins may very well cash their tickets.
 
Lions have to beat Steelers and Vikings
Packers have to lose to Bears and Ravens
Bears have to beat Packers and lose to 49ers

That eliminates Packers and makes Lions/Bears winner fucks all
