If back in 2021…

I still can’t create a poll here for some reason….

But if someone had, in mid 2021, told you that in in 2023 Lions would be:

6-2 going into a bye with
2nd best record in football
2nd seed in NFC
Division title all but wrapped up
Goff fourth most passing yards
top five offense
top ten defense

What would your responses be:

  • You’re on drugs
  • Wait, what’s the temperature in hell?
  • Is that a flying pig over there?
  • Sounds about right
  • One word: Grit

When in 2021?

Before the season, I wouldn’t have expected it, but I thought it was a possibility.

At 0-10-1? No chance in hell. That’s a good joke.

After the season? Again, I wouldn’t have expected it, but I could see it happening.

for sure, for me. I remember not having much expectation in the first year, cuz our roster was horrible…buuuut…loved Holmes picks & totally believed in Campbell at that point.

It was also around that time where you could really see how hard the guys were playing for Campbell. You could just kind of feel that better days were coming.

2021?

Heck, around midseason in 2022 I couldn’t have seen it coming. We were 1-6 with the worst defense in the history of planet earth. Oh…and we were sellers at the trade deadline, not buyers.

truth! That was a dark time, but we still had a top five offense, and a lot of young players on defense. So there was hope. More hope than I think 2021 showed

I followed Goff from LA to Detroit. Not only would I have believed you, I expected it.

Believe it or not some of the Lions coaches did pretty well in year 3.

Jim Shorts went 10 and 6.
Caldwell went 9 and 7.
Fontes went 12 and 4. Playoff win.

Dan Campbell 13 and 4. Super Bowl

I’m a broken record here:

Right after Dan Campbell’s kneecaps presser, I called my brother and told him the Lions will win 3 of the next 6 Super Bowls. 1-6 in 2022 did give me pause though. I wasn’t braying about my clairvoyance then; I thought my timeline was just off a little.

So I can say “sounds about right” with a straight face…
