Ben Johnson is also an excellent OC

He went 29-7 last year? God this regular season expansion shit is getting out of hand!

That's been going on for over a week now.

Guy with two bad knees concurs. Played in a very aggressive flag league. Played 3 playoff games with torn meniscus and strained ACL. Still not right 20 years later.

I bet he suits up and plays limited snaps until we get a lead.

Dudes a warrior snd will play while he feels needed.

So he's playing???

DET was the 5th best offense last year. And Goff was the 3rd best QB vs. the blitz in 2022 as well. Big reason for that is the fact that they have the 5th best OL in the league, and the 11th best rushing attack.


This isn't the same old Lions anymore. No, Goff isn't elite, but he doesn't have to be either, if that OL holds up again this year., and their defense's upgrades pan out.

I say set Kelce for precautionary reasons. Not having Kelce and Jones will actually be a silver lining/blessing in disguise specifically only for this game because it is the Lions who are a much improved team but...... it's the Lions(previous reputation) It will prevent a SB hangover and that 'previous Lions reputation' from setting psychologically in IMO. Because now everyone especially the backups including Pat will have to be xtra focused realizing they have a couple of their 'big guns' out of order. But it will create a huge opportunity for these backups to capitalize and be trusted and developed more for the future.

Lions will not be a pushover that is for sure.

Not having Kelce or Jones and a win only adds to Mahomes's Legend.

Cassel went 27-7 in less games. Not impressed

I think clay's projection is realistic. Probably see him week three. Injured my knee recently, feels like it's gonna be hurting the rest of my life. I'm 49, not fat but not an athlete. Kelce is a golden god. He's only an inch taller than me and outweighs me by 75 lbs and all of that is muscle. 2 weeks from the injury.

Pelisserio says they’re gonna work him out this morning and see

He's going to tell them he's fine. He's too crucial to our season to take a risk like that in week 1. We can beat the Lions without him. Reid needs to step in and be the bad guy and set him for this game.

Play the long game. The main thing still is the main thing...Win a SB.

Check their schedule, their top 5 offense isn't like our top 5

Sounds like he'll be put out there as a distraction to pull the middle of the field away from the target. A Reid special with injured players who want to play. He'll catch an easy TD tonight after broken coverage as per usual.
