A silver lining to this entire shitshow of a year

I can’t remember the last time this particular team, including Dan, faced such brutal headwinds as they do now.

“To have grit means to possess the combination of passion and perseverance for a long-term goal despite facing obstacles, setbacks, or failure.”

Well, they’ll have their opportunity to do two things: a) Prove the “GRIT” thing isn’t just a label on a wall somewhere in Allen Park, Michigan and b) Etch their name into Detroit Lions and football lore.

I mean they’re 7-5 and we knew as soon as the regular season ended last year that this schedule would be an absolute widowmaker. I’m not sure “shitshow” is the right term.

  • If we make the playoffs, win

We won’t play a 1st place schedule next year. Thats only thing I’m seeing as silver lining thus far.

Better draft pick, another silver lining.

Not when the Lions rally to win it all!

The core of our team is under contract through 2028. I hope this season makes Holmes push all his chips into the middle of the pot and go all in.

Yeah but picking 32nd in each round we’ll be drafting scraps

That’s what I’m talking about.

Don’t give up at least until Friday, fellas (and Maggie and Jane).
