Close enough.

POSITIVES: Next 6 games are all winnable. 10 days until the next game, time to straighten things out on defense. Kirby and Branch come back.

REALITY: They might go 4-2.

Dan Campbell is a dumber version of Wayne Fontes.

You might be right.

Where's the false sense of hope at the beginning of the season?

This won't be a real Lions season without the fans being lured into a euphoria that they might make the playoffs.

I actually think they'll make the playoffs thanks to their weak schedule, but as is usually the case, they'll get smoked in round 1.

If the Jets' Geno Smith lights up our secondary the way Josh Allen did, THEN it'll be time to panic.

Watch the Bills finally win a Super Bowl when they made the choice Detroit should have made after 2024.

Moved on from a coach who couldn't get them over the top for an offensive genius.

Y'mean we should have fired the first-time head coach who finally brought respectability to a hitherto moribund team and promoted Ben-edict Arnold Johnson?

Campbell shouldn’t have been fired in 2024. I have argued he should have been gone at the end of last season. Some of those losses were squarely on him. If they go say 5-12 this season he has to go.

Ben Johnson took a head coaching job, a promotion. There’s only 32 of those around and I don’t blame him one bit for pursuing it.

How is he a traitor? Should he have always been in ECDC's shadow? Should Joe Brady have turned down his promotion?

Matt, Edj, let's forget about Johnson for a second. I'd like to know what Campbell did or said that you'd refer to him as a "clown".
