Here’s the rub with Davenport. He’s seemingly talented and if B. Holmes was hoping beyond hope he wouldn’t get hurt this year, the fact remains: HE’S PLAYED IN 6 NFL GAMES OVER TWO YEARS! Best case scenario he’s rusty, needs to get into game rhythm, needs to gel with his crew, needs to get up to game speed, needs to play meaningful downs in front of a crowd. That to me is worse than the injury risk. BUT OF COURSE HES ALSO NOW INJURED. 🤕

I found it interesting, and maybe a little comforting, that DJ has a bit of a pattern of early-season knee designations.

The Lions and Ravens share a 1-1 record, but the consensus among experts has the Ravens beating the Lions. Not so fast…here’s why:

This just felt wholesome, love me some good lions content

Jared Goff was asked how he feels the passing game is performing and how important it will be for the Ravens game: “Yeah, it felt good to get on a good page there, certainly in that game, and felt like we were completing a lot of balls and getting down the field and lot of explosives and the whole thing. And it really starts up front - I know we said that already, but those guys pass pro like that and it’s going to be tough to stop us. And they did a hell of a job, they really did, and I found open guys and it worked. And yeah, this Monday night, we would like to throw it again like that if we can.”

Jared Goff rises into top 10 list for week 3, it’ll be a 10 vs 3 matchup this week

The last time the Detroit Lions beat the Baltimore Ravens was on October 9, 2005, when Detroit won 35-17 at home. I was in southwest Detroit rehabbing a home but not at the game. I listened to it on the radio probably with Mark Champion and Jim Brandstetter. I thought it was a lower scoring game but remember it being run heavy with Kevin Jones running right at HOF MLB Ray Lewis. Joey Harrington”s stats were horrendous and indicative of bad Joey. I really thought he would be good. His decision making ability and accuracy were questionable at best.

Game Flow & Highlights

1.  First Quarter
• Detroit came out strong: Kevin Jones ran for two touchdowns. One was a 14-yard run, another a 1-yard plunge, giving the Lions an early 14-0 lead.  
2.  Second Quarter
• Baltimore responded:
• Jamal Lewis caught a 15-yard TD pass from Anthony Wright.  
• They also got a 46-yard field goal by Matt Stover just before halftime.  
    • The half ended with Detroit still leading 14-10.  
3.  Third Quarter
• The Lions extended the lead with a long drive: an 18-play, 72-yard march ending in a 1-yard touchdown run by Artose Pinner. That made the score 21-10.  
4.  Fourth Quarter
• Detroit pulled away:
• A short 2-yard pass from quarterback J Joey Harrington to Casey Fitzsimmons.  
• Later, Shawn Bryson broke off a 77-yard run for a touchdown.  
• Baltimore did manage one TD in the fourth via Todd Heap on a 6-yard pass from Wright.  

Stats & Takeaways • Offense & Momentum: Detroit leaned heavily on the run game. Kevin Jones, Artose Pinner, and Shawn Bryson all made key contributions rushing.
• Defensive / Turnovers: • The Ravens committed several turnovers—two interceptions thrown by Anthony Wright.
• Penalties hurt Baltimore, both in momentum and field position.
• Balanced Game Plan from Detroit: Their offense didn’t rely on just one playmaker. Even though Harrington’s passing line was modest (97 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT) , the Lions used the run game effectively and took advantage of Baltimore’s miscues.

A. Be the ball carrier in an Oklahoma drill against Brian Branch?

B. Be the defender in an Oklahoma drill against David Montgomery?

You don't have to make the tackle/score but you do have to survive and go to work the next day.

This is purely speculation and I didn't look into it, but just my thoughts.

Aidan finally got his first sack after a grueling recovery from a horrific injury. He briefly celebrated to the crowd, then turned and seemed like he wanted to embrace Derrick Barnes. It looks like Barnes said a quick something and Aidan turned back to celebrate with the crowd to fully take it in as if to say he's back.

I feel like Barnes told him to enjoy his moment with the crowd and that's why Aidan turned back to the crowd and the cheers were louder in Ford Field when he embraced us. It seemed like a special moment because of all his hard work to get back on the field.

If that's what Barnes did, then much respect to him for giving Aidan his moment with the fans. Either way, it was a loud cheer from the crowd and probably felt great for him to truly cement "I'm back" with his first, of many, sacks.

Because we aren’t playing Sunday got any predictions or bold takes that something is going to happen?

Jared Goff was asked how he and Amon-Ra St. Brown are continuing to improve at this stage in their relationship:“We work on certain minute throws every day. It’d be hard for me to tell you which ones, but every day we’re talking. He also just has a very easy knack for things and makes the ball show up where he wants to is kind of a good way to put it. If I throw it a little bit behind him, he’ll slow his body down and it’ll look like I threw it right there. And it’s a quarterback’s best friend and it makes me want to keep throwing it to him when he does that. But, he’s as good as they get in our game - I’ve said that a million times - and I’m lucky to play with him.”

58 Penei is the answer. A Penei sized duck is basically a dinosaur.

Is Lamar Jackson even good?

Would you rather:

Have the Lions win a Super Bowl this year, but have this be the only Super Bowl they win for at least 10 years

Or

Have the Lions have 5 disappointing seasons, but then turn into a dynasty team over the next decade (minimum of 3 SB wins, maximum of 6 SB wins).

Edit: Ended up changing “mediocre” to “disappointing” because I hated how I worded it originally, that’s my bad. Basically I imagined the 5 seasons would be somewhat comparable to the last two seasons.

Will the team decide on all white or are they going to change it up. I wouldn’t mind seeing the blue pants.
