Dan Campbell gets emotional after Washington loss.

Amazing job of coaching he's done this season considering the massive number of injuries that team has suffered.

Even with five turnovers, they put a bunch of points. Had their defense not been so decimated (including losing a starting DB with a broken arm early in the game), they might have held on to win it. 

The injury bug is a mean one, and it got them in the end. Not to downgrade Washington's performance, because they were outstanding, but just to say, there's no shame in Detroit.

I was really hoping this was their year.

It should have been.

It could have been if they didn’t get fancy. Gibbs was running  it all over Washington and they went pass happy. That dumb wr pass play that was picked was just terrible.  I know some lions fans and while they like the coach, they are annoyed with him all the same.

I would test Hendon Hooker out first. He may be just what they are looking for and need. I feel like he could turn into something and I am surprised if no other team has not attempted to get him in a trade for a later round draft pick to see if he can turn into a solid starter. He has had time on the bench to watch and he is ready to at least see if he can hack it as more than a backup 

If he was what they were looking for he would be playing. You don’t think they see him in practice and meetings daily?

Imo it says a lot about hooker that they immediately made bridgewater the backup a few weeks after he was coaching HS football and signed with them

There's some speculation that Ben Johnson might want to trade for Hendon Hookernif he picks the Raiders.

All speculation of course, but not out of the question.

Eh,Teddy is a longtime NFL player and was on the team in 2023, basically the prototype backup. I bet there was regular communication and Teddy didn't come in cold. Wouldn't think much of it considering the move was made for the playoffs when the stakes were highest.

Sure, why not, hes on the roster at least see what he has, Goff is decent but hes not elite, see if Hooker is.

    • I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
    • I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
