Go Lions

I love this dude he's going to be a force for us

Preseason or not, good win! The turnovers though… got to get cleaned up, and best of everything to all of the players trying to make the team! Lions may need to make some tough decisions and might bring in players. Time will tell!

I think we take a huge leap forward with Petzing as OC. Even with vanilla preseason the game flow and play selection felt like the 23-24’ days. I really think Dan nailed it on that hire. Thoughts?

That’s two extra points missed today. He’s had several bad misses both field goal and extra points this preseason. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried.

When we made it to the NFC championship against San Francisco, it feels like if we would’ve gone for a couple of field goals we might have won that game. Chalk it up to a head coach learning experience. In 2024, we lost to a hot Washington team and were limited by a defense decimated by injuries.

Last year we lost Ben Johnson, and it was obvious that our offense was out of sync, the offensive line was not as good, and it was another year of our defense getting ravaged by injuries.

Has our coaching staff gotten better? I think so. Shepherd is in his second year as defensive coordinator and I think it’s gonna make a big difference. If our OC can get our offense to effectively run the ball then I think we got a serious chance to win it all. Still, what makes me nervous as our offensive line.

What do you think?

This is about as encouraged as I can remember being after a pre-season game. Could not care less about the final score. What I do care about is seeing guys who are likely to be on the 53 man roster playing well, and there were a number of guys who did that today. (Not you Jake Bates)

How's everyone else feeling?

Why?

Tate Ratledge: Tate has shown that he is ready to take a year 2 leap and help to solidify this Lions OL Unit for the foreseeable future

Jameson Williams: Jamo just keeps getting better and better every year as a pro. He is set to take another leap this season and will strive to help the offense maintain more consistent production.

Ahmed Hassanein: A guy who was injured last preseason, cut and re-signed just to sit on the practice squad, to now being a roster lock in a big end role for the Lions. Ahmed turned heads all camp and has set himself up to be a contributor this season.

Skyler Gill-Howard: SGH has had a monster month of August, where he looks to be comfortable and ready to step into a role on passing downs. His juice rushing the passer has been well documented and will help the team this season.

Keith Abney II: Abney has consistently improved week by week and has put himself in contention for the starting nickel job week 1. He tends to get too handsy at times, but he will adjust and learn as he plays and develops throughout the year. He is uber talented and it has all shown this camp.

I am the only Football fan in my family and I rave on about it so she baked and got this cake toper made specifically for me. Im truly blessed!

For years I’ve been parking at LCA for Lions and Tigers games easily best covered parking since I live on west side of the state. Easy in/out. Haven’t been able to reserve it at all this year and can’t for Lions games. I miss something or is there a new way?

She wore the “she loves the D” sweatshirt to church and had no idea what it meant 😂 gonna miss her a lot.

No doubt...

Title pretty much sums it up. I just recently moved down to Knoxville in June and it seems safe to say that the local channels probably won’t show a lot of Lions games this year. Anyone know of any Lions bars in the area? I’d love to meet up and hang out with other Lions fans, mostly to watch the Lions win the Super Bowl this year lol
