Bye weeks present several key opportunities for NFL teams. For the Detroit Lions (5-2), their Week 8 bye afforded them the chance to get multiple players back from injury, do some self-reflection on where they need to improve, and take extra time to prepare for another division rival, the Minnesota Vikings, in Week 9. If […]

That’s a wrap on Week 8 of the NFL season! As we near the halfway point of the 2025 campaign, it’s a great time to assess the futures market. After a slow start, the Kansas City Chiefs sit back atop the Super Bowl odds list as the favorites to win it all and make it back to their fourth consecutive Super Bowl.

Staying up to watch 18 innings of World Series baseball was a mistake. And I’d do it again. I think this is just the beginning of us seeing a wave of comparisons between where Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is now and where Lions quarterback Jared Goff was at this time in Year 1 operating in Ben Johnson’s offense: Caleb Williams is near the point on the Jared Goff/Ben Johnson timeline when Goff's production went thru the roof. That isn't realistic for Williams right now based o...

On Monday evening, the Detroit Lions made a curious roster move; they released veteran Kendall Fuller from their practice squad.

The Minnesota Vikings are next up on the Detroit Lions’ schedule, and they are currently fighting through some adversity. They’ve lost three of their last four games, have a laundry list of injuries—particularly on their offensive line, where they’ve been missing both starting tackles and their starting center for much of the season. But there […]

The NFC playoff pictures is becoming more and more clear. Week 8, in particular, seemed to separate the contenders from the pretenders, and for a team like the Detroit Lions—who were on their bye week—it was a productive set of games.

The Detroit Lions are on their bye week, and it has already started off exceedingly well.

Let’s continue our look back at the Detroit Lions’ first seven weeks of the 2025 NFL season. At the beginning of the season, there were plenty of expectations for the Lions.

That was a good old fashioned butt whuppin! Ain’t no two ways about that. I have always felt that a team will get it’s arse handed to it at least once a year. This felt like that game. I could see how folks would feel that it could happen again especially against the Lions. The […]

We’re pretty close to the halfway point in the 2025 NFL season, and your Detroit Lions are pretty close to expectations at their Week 8 bye. For example, way back in May, Erik Schlitt and I made 2025 Lions game-by-game predictions right after the schedule came out. Both of us had the Lions at 5-2 […]

Wait, the Green Bay Packers went down?! I mean, it wasn’t the best win ever, but it was still a win, right? Yes, it was, and the Packers are still third overall, which is very good! But it wasn’t the most convincing win while the Lions were beating the stuffings out of a good, fun […]

Before the 2025 NFL season got underway, there was a lot of chatter about how difficult the Detroit Lions’ schedule looked. At least on paper and before any real football had been played, it appeared daunting. However, as we know, things can change fast in the NFL, and while some of the games to come […]
