The way they treat the guys on the practice squad as just as important as the starters. And using the practice squad as competition for a wide receiver spot…
The offense is built to run the ball and will be explosive! The Dline/Linebackers are going to be stout and the cornerback room has been revamped. They're gritty, they're hugry, and they're built to handle adversity. 13-4 and a Superbowl win!
I'm waiting until after the Sunday night game against the RAMs to say how I feel. If they beat them and the Dline and backs do there job and we have a really great run game again then I don't see how they can't go 12 - 5 for 13 - 4
40 year Lions fan. STARTING to believe they're not going back to SOL, but almost AFRAID to believe...My 66 yo brother cried when they won that first playoff game. I was so in shock, that when they went to kneel-down formation, I went, 'wait! They're gonna WIN?' I was too STUNNED to cry.
What has surprised me the most this off season - Ben Johnson staying as offensive coordinator What has intrigued me the most - How good is Jameson Williams? I cannot predict how their final record would be, because I don't want to concede any losses, but I also would be unrealistic if I picked them to go 17-0 This team had it last year, and they are carrying it over to this year. I'd argue there isn't a more cohesive organization in the National Football League from owner down to the practice squad than the Detroit Lions Feels really weird to type that, but it's very true. They improved at every position I'm biased but I just, kinda feel like I know football and based on what I've seen and what I'm expecting... The Detroit Lions are going to win Super Bowl LIX
The Lions will be much scarier this than last. Only one win away last to the Super bowl. It's Super Bowl or bust this year for them!! Maybe the Hungriest team in the NFL!! Bills should have been like this. Fins are somewhat like this. Chargers will be like this. Jags too.

@@Love2Musgrave Remember for the most hated teams in the NFL u in the top 5 w Dallas KC SF Philly n used to be the Pats. U are called the team from the North for a reason
We are fasho more dangerous! Last year our secondary was ranked 27th and all we did was beef up the secondary and added some more pass rush I bet we're top 5 in rush and top 15 in pass maybe higher depends on how Arnold and Rakestraw develop
Ben Johnson will certainly be expanding an already deep and effective playbook to get even more touches to Gibbs and JMo. I'd expect even more big yardage plays.
The biggest thing they did this off-season was that they signed the big pieces of the core of the team. What happens when teams win the SuperBowl?! The players want the big bag, and the depth pieces wanna be paid like starters. Well, Detroit jumped on that early, and it will pay off down the road. Could you imagine the contracts for players like St. Brown, Goff, Sewell, and Decker winning a Superbowl?? Sheila Ford needs to be shown some love for letting Brad Holmes cook, and Dan Campbell run the team in his image that's built with grit..
Lions are going to have at least 8 pro bowlers this year. We aren't going to be hampered by injuries because our depth pieces are better than starters on most other teams. The only reason these depth guys are here and not starting somewhere else is that this is the top team to improve their skills from good to elite and of course, we getting the ring this year.
if the Lions can stay healthy we have as good a chance as K.C. or San Fran,, the talent is there. its impossible to have enough depth to cover to many injuries. We could survive a couple major injuries as long as Goff isn't one of them..
This teams 2024 season won't be about how much better the offense will be, but about how much better the defense will be. The replacement of Cam Sutton with Carlton Davis III is HUGE. Davis is far more physical and better overall in coverage. Replacing Jerry Jacobs and Kindle Vildor as the CB2 with Terrion Arnold is equally huge. It was their CB play last season that destroyed the Lions in the second half of the NFC Championship. And with Ennis Rakestraw and Amik Robertson added to that room, things have improved dramatically. Moving Brian Branch to safety gives the secondary a boost as well, despite the fact Ifeatu Melifonwu played pretty well. Branch is just a much more heady player, and much better in coverage than Iffy. Then there's the addition of DJ Reader up front, as well as improved depth at DT with Mekhi Wingo. This defense is going to be much, much better and will only improve as the season wears on and the rookies get more exposure.
You focused all your attention on the offense, which was already great. You should focus on the defense. They added dj reader, Marcus davenport, and completely overhauled their secondary. This defense will be WAY better than last year!
Excited to see how improved secondary is going to be game changer. Pack is only team I fear in division. Lions are more hungry. Gonna bite kneecaps and spit them out when raising Lambardi! Go Lions!!!
Life long lions fan and I'm so ready for this season to start!! However as a realist and their actual really tough scheduling this year I have them at 12-5 ceiling 13-4 with a deep run again possibly taking that turn from only 30 min away from a super bowl to 0!! It's the coverage Defense taking that 55 horrendously disgusting rating and making a jump to even a low 70 to ceiling 88 rating coverage Defense and that's the difference between super bowl or not last year and the same this year!!
The lions D is going to be Dominant this year. The "Steele, what up Doe, Curtain" is going to totally shut down the run with DJ Reader, Alim McNeal, Jack Campbell at MLB, and Brian Branch at safety. And if you think you're going to throw on them with Davis, Rakestraw, Arnold, Iffy, and Robertson, well you're just delusional. Huston is back and Davenport is also going to rush/set the edge opposite Hutch. So opposing QB's are going to spend a lot of time on their backs or launching passes into the stands..... bottom line Lions Dynasty starts this year.
what i'd like to see a team do is line up 2 qbs that can run in the backfield with maybe even a rb back there too creating an insane option play. who gets the ball are they throwing or running or pitching it to someone else and are they throwing or running. talk about confusing to a defense.
Detroit can do that now that Hooker is healthy and you seen that one in their last preseason game. Imagine Goff with the ball and Hooker and Gibbs in the back field. Goff pitches ball to Hooker, defense has to think run or pass. That can cause delay on the defense and give Hooker the chance to run wild. Now they think he will be running and they rush up to stop him and he now throws to Williams, LaPorta or St Brown as they have been left open by defense biting for the run.
As a lions fan I’m being cautiously pessimistic,we had on unbelievable season reminiscent of 1991 and teams have good seasons very often out of nowhere only no fall back to reality the next season ala the superbowl Atlanta falcons and we’ve seen no starters in the preseason once again
Let's not forget James Houston is finally healthy after missing the entire 2024 season that had him coming off 8 sacks in as many games the final stretch of 2023
Goff was actually one of the worst when blitzes come because he can’t read it it’s either a pick or fumble or even a 7yard sack stop it and watch the games
The Lions have been building something special, and this could be the year they surprise everyone. It’s easy to count them out, but real fans know the strength of this team. Let’s just wait and see what they bring to the field!
What flavor Kool Aid do you drink? St. Brown not even top ten, Goff not top 10, OL has PB issues against beter teams. D is huge ?. They had the benefit of some good luck last year - no injuries and some favorable injuries on their opponents. Time will tell
You have got to be the non smartest human alive. Saint Brown is arguably a top five receiver. Best oline in the league. Defense is already considered top four unit by some that’s still wait-and-see but there’s a good chance but overall they have the top roster if not second best in league. So quit talking.
They didn’t benefit they had just as many injuries if not more to some of their most valuable players CJ Gardner Johnson was the most highly coveted free Asian and he went out in week two and we still did what we did with the 29th rank-secondary.. you’re not very smart.
Lucky?! Are you F’king kidding me!? This team is completely different than 5 years ago. I have to believe that you haven’t watched anything so I’ll enlighten you. This lucky team went in opening day in KC the previous Super Bowl champs and beat them at their house! Not only that but Detroit did it again in this preseason! They went in to San Francisco for NFC championship game and was beating the 49’ers 24-7 at half time. Detroit may have lost by 3 points but 49’ers know Detroit is a young team getting better while 49’ers are much older. Detroit went out and traded and drafted CBs to correct the secondary, they retained all there Offense. Detroit went out and has built a team in 4 years that everyone is now trying to emulate and copy! How you are so brain damaged that you can’t see that sure points to where you may be from and who you root for. In the NFC North you can ask a lot of fans but most of them will tell you they fear playing Detroit even in their own stadium! Green Bay has not beat Detroit in Lambeau since 2021! There is a change happening and Detroit is at the top of it, you just have to catch up like the rest of the league. Even Kansas City is worried about facing Detroit as they are one team the KC can’t seem to beat. Goff is 2-0 against Mahomes and that includes when he was a Rams QB.
😂 that is exactly what teams like the KC Chiefs said until Detroit goes in and beats them in KC 2 years in a row now! Of course this year was preseason but they now know, don’t look past a game against Detroit. By the way, the fans go everywhere now and teams are finding out home field advantage is not what it seems when Detroit comes to town! I hope your team is not Green Bay, they haven’t beat the Lions in Lambeau since 2021! 😂 thanks for looking past the Lions!
@@brandonbaty2291 ohhhh did you know I wasn't talking to you and did you know the lions have the worst defense in the NFL and my eagles will fly over your lions heads
I can’t wait to my Bears get a crack at the lions shit we spank them last year and we should’ve won both games. But every year is a new year but the Bears should’ve beat them twice with JF now we have a qb that they say is an elite player well I can’t wait to we play them. Just pressure Golf and he’ll make plenty of mistakes that’s why the Rams traded him to Detroit he just didn’t have what it takes. Bear Down!!
