    My Post Regular Season Off-Season Plan

    I really do think we are really close to building a legitimate top 5 NFL team, but we still do have some glaring holes. I think plugging a rookie into all those holes is a dangerous proposition if we want to field a contender in 2023. I think it would be a mistake if this regime just completely...

    How to Make the Best Team in 2022

    Now I am talking realistically here, but if the Lions saw an opportunity to make some noise with a weak schedule and potentially weak division, how would be go about making the best roster we could without mortgaging the future? To me that means not using a bunch of future assets. That doesn?t...

    Eagles Salary Cap Gymnastics

    I was honestly thinking the Eagles could be in position to try to move up the draft order as they really need a dominant pass rusher and I could see them being interested in Thibs or Hutch. They are a very young team with a rookie QB contract and are playing pretty well so thought they could...

    2022 NFC North Evaluation

    Why not have a look at where things stand with the other three teams in this division heading into 2022. Packers -37mil cap space Vikings -11mil cap space Bears 43mil cap space The Packers are in very bad shape cap wise. They also have a couple big name free agents as well as some role...

    Brad Holmes

    I know this guy has gotten heavily criticized by a lot of guys on here. He has had his fair share of mistakes (Benson trade, Perriman signing), but I for one think he is doing one hell of a job. He scrounged the bottom of the barrel for players as we wanted to make sure we came away with comp...

    Lions Current Roster Evaluation

    So to break this down and get a good idea of where this roster currently stands and what it may look like in the future I decided to break down the roster we currently have, player by player. Quarterback Jared Goff - Likely committed to him for 2022. Has recently shown progress and these final...

    Boyle To Start

    The Lions plan to start Tim Boyle in Week 11 against the Browns. Tim Boyle is a third-year player, who went undrafted out of Eastern Kentucky. He has four career passing attempts. It's probably not going to go great. Although, Jared Goff was horrible while attempting to play through an oblique...

    2022 Off-Season

    I know I've done a few of these, but looking ahead is all we got and I like getting everyones input. So I want to pose a question for some of the more less optimistic Lions fans here. Is there any chance at all of competing for a wild card or even the division in 2022. I think there is. This...

    https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2021/11/5/22765222/browns-releasing-odell-beckham-jr-pros-cons-to-detroit-lions-claiming-him As everyone probably knows, he was cut as of this morning. The Browns also converted his salary to a signing bonus so if he is claimed he won't be owed much more then the...

    Next Pro Bowler On Offense and Defense

    So my question is what 1st or 2nd year player on offense and defense is the first to make the Pro Bowl (doesn?t have to be this year). Offense - It has got to be DeAndre Swift for me. I think Sewell has that potential, but until we start winning O-lineman rarely get recognized. I think Swift...

    Might As Well Start Looking Forward to 2022 Now

    I know it is only week 5, but looking ahead to the off-season is basically an annual Detroit Lions tradition. Once we drop the salaries of Flowers and Vatai, we will be sitting on 50-60mil in cap space for the 2022 off-season. With the money we had and the fact that this year would basically...

    Am I the Only One Who Didn?t Care That Tucker Made That Kick?

    It seems everyone is so upset about that kick from Tucker. Honestly I not only expected him to make it, but kinda wished he did. I fully understand what this season means for this team and what the expectations should be. The fact that they went toe to toe with one of the better teams in the...

    2022 Roster

    So the majority of the draft is in the books. We have two more picks left, but odds are those guys will merely be depth. So what does this 2022 roster look like with what we have on the roster. Offense QB - Jared Goff RB - DeAndre Swift, Jamaal Williams, WR - Quintez Cephus, (Tyrell...

    Darnold to Carolina

    Panthers acquired QB Sam Darnold from the Panthers in exchange for three draft picks. The Panthers are sending a 2021 sixth-rounder New York's way before getting more serious in 2022, where they will be shipping off their second- and fourth-rounders. It's not much of a haul ? future picks are...

    Draft Strategy

    I think most, if not all, Lions fans would agree we need to find a guy who can develop into a difference making WR and a LB?er who can be the leader of this defense in this draft. Looking over this roster, those are the two biggest GLARING weaknesses. I was playing around with the PFF mock...
