It makes no sense to bring back a player that is limping and is wearing a brace as well.
Maybe just maybe…he was asking god for help to get clear to practice and there is nothing more. Odd hes back practicing after it
So your plan is to just give up on the season 1 game out of a playoff spot? Man I’m glad you aint coaching.
You gotta go all out to try to beat the Cowboys at home on prime time. Imagine telling Sewell you aint playing vs the Cowboys, we want you to rest up for next year. No chance
What if they get hurt next year???
Nothing in this article suggests anything remotely positive for Kerby’s knee going forward.
I think God Help Me was truly related to his injury.

Shut him down for the year. Being degenerative doesn’t mean shit when you are young. I have degenerative disk disease from S1-L5 in my lower back at 47. I still work the same job and my wiener still works. What is the problem here?


2 games back because lions lose every tie breaker.
Even if they win and everyone else (SF, GB, CHI, CAR) all lose. Lions are still out. 1 game back.
And Sewell has been dealing with that ankle all season.
The last thing you want is for him to make that ankle worse then hes dealing with an ankle issue again next year.
Even IF the Lions win OUT they need everyone else to drop 2 games. Dont see either happening
The odds are stacked against us. But you gotta at least try to win. What the heck would Coach Campbell be telling the locker room if we just gave up and sat half the team as you suggested above.
It’s not about giving up.
You dont TELL the players were giving up.
But the team doc can go “hey that injurie isnt looking good and isnt getting better. Gonna have to sit you out”
But you said shut down Sewell, GG and Decker. You absolutely can’t play Goff if you do that. Hence giving up
What are you even saying?
If we go 11-6 we make the playoffs and likely win the division.
Half the team is injured he’s not sitting them on purpose. ![]()
You don’t shit anyone down. You scheme around it.
Branch, Kerby, Reed, Robertson, Barnes, AA, Campbell, Hutch, Alim, Reader, AQM… Tyliek, Maddox and Dorsey should be able to hold it down. Kerby is banged up, he’ll be done or he won’t.
Decker, Awosika, GG, Tate, and Sewell- Zylstra
Jamo, Teslaa, Kennedy…
Gibbs, Monty
We are banged up, but so are others- if that teams lines up
Mahogany, Laporta, Amon Ra, and Terrion not ideal but not end of the world.
This team aint going 11-6. Even IFFF they do.
It will likely come down to a tie breaker. Which lions lose virtually every tiebreaker,
Lions have gotten worse and worse the last 4 weeks even WITH the defense getting healthier than the last 3 years, yet the defense has gotten worse.
Meanwhile, Dallas, Carolina, Greenbay and Chicago are getting their stuff together and have been playing playoff caliber football.
Ill give you one more game. They lose to Dallas its game over.
The Bears own the #1 seed at this moment…
and are only 2 games ahead of the Lions with a head-to-head matchup upcoming.
You want the team to QUIT now???
On each other??? On the season???
when they only need to make up 1 game in the next 4 games….. with Bears playing 3 games against teams that are 8-4 or better…
.
.

It would be one thing if they were 2 games back and the team has looked good.
Its another when the team has gotten WORSE as the season has gone on and they have gotten healthier (aside from receivers )
The Bears beat the Eagles.
The Panthers beat the Rams.
Cowboys beat the Eagles and Chiefs
Packers beat us 2x
What have the Lions done? What game can you point too that says “oh theres a good team”
A Tampa team that is more lucky than good with baker throwing prayer balls to win the end of the game?
A down hill Ravens team thats 500. With Henrey thats done.
They lost to JJ McCarthy which is having one of the worst seasons for a QB in recent history.
They escaped the already eliminated Giants with a 3rd string QB.
This team has given me 0 hope all season. 14 weeks of “we have to play better as a team, we got some stuff to clean up”
Well after 14 weeks. This is who you are.
You have got to be kidding, right? This is the NFL, not pee wee football with 10 year olds.
Tell the team dr to lie about the severity of injuries? You need to get a grip on reality, sir…
