Feel sorry for Lions fans. Doubt they will have this chance again without Ben Johnson or Aaron Glenn as they will most likely be HC's now.

I still have the Bills to root for and for some reasons I don't hate the new Redskins because of their players, but the Lions were the team I 
was rooting for once we were out. Too bad, oh well, I still get to root against the Chiefs and Eagles.

Could be right. That is one team I would not want to try and turn around. The only positive is Mad Maxx that I can think about.

Seems like a better choice for him and the Bears...then again, when the Bears took Matt Nagy he was the same kind of smart pick so who knows.

The Lions were my pick to root for as well. Now the only thig I really care about is hoping it's not the damn Chiefs and their wimpy ass QB again.

If Mahomes wins his fourth Super Bowl we'll only be hearing about him chasing Brady.

Yeah, the Lions were a real feel good story, easy to root for after the Bengals flamed out again. However, I have to think that with Dan Campbell and their GM still in tact, it won't take them long to put things back together again.

No doubt. Just no Chiefs please. Go Bills.

Weird that I actually like Washington even if really disliked the name change as did many of my Native American friends.

Lot of likable players, Jayden Daniels, Brian Robinson, Ertz, Scary Terry, Jonathan Allen and of course Bobby Wagner.

Hope so, I like that team. Gibbs sure is fun to watch, wanted us to draft that man!!!

Lions were run over, then backed over, by the injury cart. Fully healthy, I think the division is there's again. Playoff success is a bit murkier.

Yeah, getting healthy again on Defense specifically could bring them back. We will see. They will have to get some good Coordinators
to replace Johnson and Glenn though.

Remember when the Bengals were churning out coaches year after year and still making the playoffs? Lions might end up the same. 3

They actually have a good GM now, wouldn't surprise me if they hit on some other good coaches.
