The lovefest for the Lions was a feast for a time. It’s still out there, you can still find those who enjoy the feel-good story of the Detroit Lions turning into the hot newness to chase, the cool kids with the opened button shirt and graphic tee. Maybe even a skateboard? Alas, the nerds are…
Expectations for Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown are extremely high in 2023 after the two helped created the No. 5 scoring offense in the league for the Detroit Lions in 2022. The two have developed a chemistry that resulted in 106 catches, 1,161 yards and six receiving touchdowns for the young receiver last season.
Associated Press | The Detroit News Tempe, Ariz. – Vince Tobin, a former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator who coached the Arizona Cardinals to their first playoff win in 51 years in 1998, has died. He was 79. The Cardinals said Tobin died Monday morning at his Arizona home. “Our deepest condolences go out to everyone who
We’re only one region into the 2023 Detroit Lions Name Bracket Tournament, and I’m already getting worried about my own sanity. I am, by nature, an indecisive man. I am the person who takes forever to order, or will answer “I don’t care” to “what do you want to do tonight?” every single time.
Allen Park — Being a first-round pick in the NFL gets you a lot of guaranteed money. It does not, however, get you an automatic starting job — at least these days, not on the Detroit Lions. Lions linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard said former Iowa linebacker Jack Campbell, selected No. 18 by Detroit in the
For a player like Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, it would be perfectly acceptable for him to just continue on the trajectory he’s currently on. He’s coming off a Pro Bowl year, and he’s already considered one of the best slot receivers in the game. In fact, he may be considered one of…
In last week’s mailbag, Erik, Jeremy, and Ryan spent a good chunk of time talking about why Ben Johnson is such a good offensive coordinator for this particular Detroit Lions roster. Specifically, our crew called out Johnson’s play design elements, emphasis on play action passing, and relationship with quarterback Jared Goff. A few days ago,…
On this week’s Twitter Spaces call-in show, we had a first. We took a call from a Green Bay Packers fan who came in peace. He agreed that the Detroit Lions are the team to beat in the division, but he wanted to know who our panel—myself, Ryan Mathews, and Erik Schlitt—thought was their biggest…
Originally drafted 72nd overall out of North Carolina State by the Detroit Lions in the 2021 NFL draft, Alim McNeill has been a contributor on defense since arriving in Allen Park.

In honor of NBA free agency opening up this weekend and big money flying around, let’s try to guess which Detroit Lions player is next in line to get a big raise. Times have changed quite a bit from previous regimes. It seems as though the days of top talent leaving (Ndamukong Suh, Quandre Diggs…
Allen Park — From Ben Johnson to Brad Holmes, the Detroit Lions haven’t been shy to acknowledge that last year’s backup quarterback situation was disappointing to start the season. The team desperately awaited either Tim Boyle or David Blough, both who had gotten starts in previous years, to take the reins. Neither did. But now,
This past April, the Detroit Lions shocked some people around the NFL with some of their selections in the 2023 NFL Draft—particularly in the first round. After trading back, general manager Brad Holmes drafted University of Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs with the 12th overall pick, and followed that up by picking University of Iowa…
If you’re like me, your biggest fear is not spiders. It’s not public speaking. It’s that despite all signs pointing to improvement, the Detroit Lions will regress in 2023. Many Lions fans who have been around long enough are likely feeling the same way, having been duped in the past. But now is no time…
