It seems like the injury toll is the only thing keeping the Lions from being a prohibitive Super Bowl favorite.

I think the bottom 5 all make it back for buffalo which will be a huge influx to the team that just beat the pack last night and will be playing again at home after 10 days off

Sorry, I made an edit already to the order of the list—so no longer the ‘bottom 5’

All things considered, knock on wood, but this could be worse.

Last night during the pre-game show on amazon, they said Barnes was now expected back before the end of the regular season.

That would be huge.

Really?? I’m not doubting you, just shocked as everything we had been hearing was he’d be lucky to return at all this year (including the Super Bowl). I thought he was basically done for the year, with the Super Bowl an outside shot.

I wonder if they got the names mixed up and meant Anzalone. His window is 6-8 weeks, so just before the regular season ends makes more sense for him than Barnes.

I’d take anything the national talking heads say with a grain of salt. They’re prone to getting things wrong. News like this would be reported by local beat writers.

Well, that’s what they said. It doesn’t mean it’s true I guess.

They did say though, that both Barnes and Anzalone were expected back.

This was posted 2 weeks ago, and hints at the possibility, so maybe the pundits are privy to information we don’t have.

That would be great news if it comes to fruition. Just caught me by surprise is all. Thanks for the detail. Any reinforcements we can get would be welcome news that is way overdue.

Someone kept calling Jahmyr Gibbs Jamar Gibbs… Why does that bother me so much? Bc it’s their job and the simplest thing to do is get someone’s name right… Most of these guys do minimal research, they see highlights and stat lines
