This isn't exactly a revelation. Las Vegas has had the Lions pegged as the worst team in the NFC for the upcoming season for some time now.

btw - I'm not completely ready to take a massive dump on the Spielman hire just yet.

That said, your past statement that the Lions organization is "an act in futility" probably holds as long as there is Ford ownership.

I don't know if it was intentional, but Campbell had poor clock management at the end of the game last night. Why didn't he run down the clock before kicking the go-ahead field goal? I do hope this faux pas was intentional, or at least not a consideration seeing that it was a pre-season game; i.e., seeing how his defense can respond in such a situation.

The Bills must not be Super Bowl contenders following MW's logic since they only won by 1. Didn't the 0-16 Liedowns go 4-0 in the preseason?

This season will be bad for the Lions will win 5 games maybe 6 games I just want them to show some fight from this team is all I want to see this season. I'm giving the GM & coach a chance I like that coach Campbell isn't a coach speak guy and is entertaining at his pressers board cups were left empty for Brad Holmes which the Falcons were also interested in him as well.

Some of the open field tackling against Pittsburgh was downright atrocious! >: I'm singling out safety C.J. Moore and linebacker Jalani Tavai. When the Lions drafted the latter I immediately went to YouTube to look at his game tape highlights. It was painfully obvious that he was slower than molasses and I was hoping the Lions braintrust saw something that would be a "scheme fit". I read he was likened to former Lions draftee Kyle Van Noy who went on to success with the Patriots. I also read that Bill Belichick was enamored with Tavai and it's why Quinntricia grabbed him in the second round. Well, talk about a second round bust! Shades of Jordan Dizon. :evil: Meanwhile, rookie fourth-rounder Derrick Barnes is cementing a spot on the linebacker corps.

I did like how we came back in the second half behind QB David Blough who I've liked since first seeing him in the pre-season as a Cleveland Brown.

Moldyoldy is correct. We went 4-0 in the the pre-season that year, to have a 'perfect record' 0-16 in the regular season. This year, if we go 0-3 in the pre-season, we should go 17-0 in the regular season.

Anyone see the cringey spot from Dan Miller on Fox 2? So hilarious.
