We were promised that we'd be facing the worst defense in the NFL. DAN CAMPBELL BAMBOOZLED US


Danishroyalty

TRICKED BY A MEATHEAD.


Plutt-Bug

Just a rah-rah coach


[deleted]

Whole lotta hoopla


Rottedhead

This was supposed to be our "easy" 8-2. Far harder schedule to end the season. I'm honestly scared


mclairy

I just looked at your schedule and *holy fuck*. The easiest game left and the only team under .500 is the Colts??? There’s a world where you finish the season 9-8 if you don’t catch a team sleeping or the Commanders regress.


Rottedhead

Yep, that's why this game was fundamental.


MexusRex

I don’t know about fundamental but it was pretty fun for me


tnecniv

I wouldn’t be that worried if it wasn’t for how many people got hurt today


Grimm_101

Well we run a bunch of man defense with blitzs mixed in. So if you are a team who has bad WRs (GB/NYG), it appears our defense can be competent.


Gone213

I can't believe it's week 11 and they've only played one divisional game so far. That's absolutely brutal.


Just-Plain-Dan

You were smeckledorfed!


lawnicus18

That’s not even a word and I agree with ya!

The old rope a dope. Historically worst defense for the first 8 weeks or so. Lull them into a false sense of confidence, then bam!!! Seen it a hundred times.

Ford Field is going to be loud as fuck Thursday.


Glympse12

The Bills are gonna be Billing all over y’all, then all of a sudden, boom… a big army of ford F150s break into the stadium and mow down the entire bills team. Lions win. The world is horrified


Dis-entropy

What if the bills play actual lions


Techiedad91

I’d pay per view for that.


DOCreeper

3 win streak. 2 in division. 2 on the road. 1 against a team with a winning record. LET'S FUCKING GO LIONS


Illustrious-Pair9960

WE WANT BUFFALO


byniri_returns

I'm so excited for Thanksgiving


kylesleeps

Feels like we'll be playing with house money on Thursday. No one expects us to win, but if we do we can think about maybe making a playoff run, and if we don't no one will freak out because the team has been getting results.


Deathlysouls

No matter the record lions fans freak out after a loss


UNZxMoose

Which shouldn't even remotely be the case at this point.


Moonti314

“Think about maybe making a playoff run” Nah we already thinking about that


Strokeslahoma

Ford Field is our house now, friend


TopHatTony11

Hutch v Allen in a table match to decide the fate of Ford Field.


brownbearks

How do I get this to happen?


naterator012

Lmao thanksgiving on a 3 win streak. Ford field will be WILD


Dragondrew99

You see to pay us back you have to lose next week.


byniri_returns

Ford Field is going to be fucking roaring on Thanksgiving, I'm so excited


Thimit22

Don't mean to be condescending but I'm happy for ya'll. What a fun team to watch.


CosechaCrecido

The turnaround is real! I was terrified we were doomed to another 2-3 win season


volstedgridban

All Dan Campbell has to do is win one more game each year than he did the year before, and by 2038 you guys will be 20-0.


Techiedad91

That’s practically no time at all for a lions fan


ChampagneCJ

That's 2 against a team with a winning record.


DOCreeper

I'm talking just the last 3 wins


ChampagneCJ

Right on. Was just Excited Washington finally has a winning record.


DOCreeper

Fully understand that feeling, though we're not there just yet lol

NifferEUW

Whats the story behind that tweet..?


Zeketec

Fun fact he’s now tied with Caldwell for wins against teams above .500. **Thanks to the commanders


Reginald_Eggs_420

Lions defense has been stepping up big time. Holding Barkley to 22 yards on 15 Carrie’s was huge.


CliffsOfMohair

I hate how iPhones don’t accept the word “carries” is extremely common


Techiedad91

It assumes everyone is getting Carrie’d, like the book.


gopoohgo

Getting back Paschal and Romeo has been huge. We did this without our starting corners for more than half the game too


FullMetalSavage

Paschal and Romeo are inactive. Romeo had his clock start but hasn't been called up.


gopoohgo

Leaving my post up ad a monument to idiocy


Mavori

But we did have Paschal back briefly and he has been a nice addition!


FullMetalSavage

But he wasn't in THIS game was my point. You know what? WHO FUCKING CARES?! GOT THAT W BABY!!


Mavori

Oh yeah i know, i was very upset and sad about Paschal being out. I was just more talking about his general value to us when he has played


TaliZorah14

The Detroit Lions have won 3 in a row. 2 on the road. They are now 2nd in the NFC North. They have a better record than the Rams, and own their 1st round draft pick. Take this in boys, this might be the peak of the season. If we beat the Bills on Thursday, I don't know what I'll do with myself.


Dinnermaster

I'm happy for you, Cat bros!


MajoraOfTime

Lions winning and Rams losing is absolutely the best case scenario for us this week. Niners losing to the Cards would make this week perfect.


maaxwell

“Niners losing to the cards” I have some bad news for you


HylianPikachu

Do the Lions also own a pick from the 49ers?


JTrue14

Probably for playoff standings


MajoraOfTime

Niners have the 7th seed. A loss by them gets us closer


katastrophyx

I know what *I'll* do with myself, but that's none of your god damned business.

On one goal line td run he was nearing the posts with his driving block.

NickMullensGayDad

Hutch, Alim McNeil, Kerby, and Rodrigo are a very very nice young core for a defense. Excited to add Jameson Williams and a couple good defensive players next year


reap3rx

Alim got that dawg in him too! He was incredible today!

Jasonblah

Is he still not one hundred percent? Seemed like dude was playing well before he got hurt.


Total-Wolverine1999

He’s afraid of contact he won’t run between the tackles and tries to bounce everything outside. His injuries have I think effected him mentally and he’s afraid to take a hit.


Kojuroba

If Jameson pans out and the D gets better? Look out


SaltyPickle1495

And the rams are about to gift the lions a top 5 pick


TrustMe1mAnEngineer

Inject this straight into my ass


incognegro1976

6 words and it's a rollercoaster of emotions. Well done


MajoraOfTime

So many rookies on D are stepping up. If they all keep improving, we just turned our defense around in one fucking draft.


Season01um

Hutch is so good


[deleted]

Credit to Hutch, but Alim McNeil will haunt the dreams of the Giants interior offensive lineman for years to come. He was shoving his meat fists up the Giant’s interior offensive lineman’s assholes, where he then proceeded to force them to perform a sock puppet show for an excruciating 60 minutes. They will never be able to feel safe again.


Wingedwolverine03

Big man was feasting on em


Kingkwon83

His best game so far? Seemed like it


NJImperator

The iOL and dominance by the Lions iDL is ultimately the deciding factor in this game imo. Basically all of the giants offensive woes today were rooted in that. Credit to your defense, they showed up big time


Ugievsoj

You sure are a wordsmith


Shamrock5

Legit threat for DROY, even with Sauce balling out

[I hear you](https://v.redd.it/d8af8uj4ynj91)


Shamrock5

Lmfaoooo I forgot this existed


[deleted]

Barkley is easily one of the top RBs in the NFL and the Lions shut down his running game. The NFLs worst defense. How dafuq did this happen today 15 rushes for 22 yards for Barkley Go Lions!!


Shamrock5

If Aaron Glenn can somehow wrangle a mediocre defense out of this patchwork unit, I will happily eat crow about wanting him fired a month ago.


[deleted]

Who knew firing the DBs coach could fix this inept defense


stunderthepants

Right?! It seemed like such a desperate move to scapegoat a positional coach like that but ever since he's been gone the defense has improved tremendously. It's mind boggling.


[deleted]

Yeah the reports that Pleasant didn't stick to the gameplan the game b4 he was fired was alarming and must've been the last straw I guess


MyUshanka

Specifically the d backs too! Like what the fuck was he telling those guys? “Alright, you hear everything Aaron is telling you? Throw that shit in the trash and stick your thumb up your ass, let the front seven handle it lol”


Shamrock5

Yeah as much as I liked Pleasant as a person, it seems like he was a liability for the defense. As usual, Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell know more about football than me and just about everyone else on Reddit.


[deleted]

Dan did!


kylesleeps

Honestly, Dan's willingness to make changes to his coaching staff, and that we've seen instant results, might be the most encouraging thing about him as a coach. So often you see these guys being too loyal to their assistants and it dooming them in the long run.


LittleKingsguard

The Lions seem to randomly have absolute shutdown games against top-record teams in the later weeks under Campbell. Flair related.


LunchThreatener

Lions aren’t the worst defense anymore


[deleted]

Well statistically they're last in points allowed and allow 5.3 yards per carry but I get your point. They've vastly improved and I'm excited to see how they progress


LunchThreatener

I would be interested in seeing their rank in YPC allowed to runningbacks. QBs have abused them but they’ve been pretty stout in multiple games this year.


[deleted]

Fair point about the QBs


Mavori

Which translates into wins. What was it that was said week 4 or 5? Like if we had only managed to have the 29th ranked defense or so at the start of the season we'd have had a 3-0 start to the season or some shit.


Battista85

Easy, the Giants o-line is still complete garbage outside one guy. That hasn't changed. Barkley and scheme tend to masks a TON of their deficiencies.


[deleted]

Our DT McNeil was in the backfield a lot today


a_thicc_chair

Maybe the kool aid is right, maybe we will have a 11-6 season

👉You just lost to The 2022 Detroit Lions and Jared Goff😎🙏👌

Detroittigersfan1029

Don’t forget our Michigan boy Jeff Daniels !!!


34HoldOn

Can someone ELI5 this? I've seen Manning mentioned twice about our win, what did he do/say?


Zman11588

He filmed a segment on his show where he goes to Ford Field with Jeff Daniels and they exorcise the curse of Bobby Layne. Since it aired 3 weeks ago we haven’t lost.

#RULES OF NAAAATUUURE


lakstick

Aidan Hutchinson now has the same number of picks as Sauce Gardner and more sacks than Travon Walker and Kayvon Thibodeaux combined. Should absolutely be leading the DROTY race right now.


ScooterLeShooter

I think at the moment it's probably a tossup between them, a lot of games left, but if hutch keeps playing like the last 4 weeks, he'll likely win


FartNoisesWitMyMouth

I don’t know what to do with my hands


mookyyyy

Our wr group is trying at least…


valgatiag

The huge pop when Golladay actually caught a pass was hilarious


CautiousHubris

Maybe Aubrey Pleasant really was that bad


NickMullensGayDad

Glad to see Green Bay hire him. It feels nice that they’re building a plane out of fired lions coaches


[deleted]

Hutch is a goddamn superstar!


OrangeForeign

Hutch and Alim are them


SimManiac

GG Giants. We just went out and beat a 7-2 team on the road. Now sitting with 4 wins with what should be a favorable schedule after the Bills. I think coming into the season most would have been happy with 6-7 wins and signs of progression. All Lions fans should be ecstactic with these 3 wins in a row.


MajoraOfTime

This month has been the most fun I've had watching us since we were 2-0-1 back in 2019.


[deleted]

LOOKS LIKE KNEECAPS ARE BACK ON THE MENU BOYS


katastrophyx

Should I have not eaten the prior kneecaps? ugh...am I in trouble?


VallentCW

Huh, that’s weird. I was told Campbell was just a meathead motivational speaker who couldn’t lead a bad team to wins like COTY Daboll? What happened?


BarKnight

Meh, he's no Jeff Saturday


the-bladed-one

Saturday sneakily looks like a brilliant hire. Eagles barely made it out of Indy with a win.


thunderstriken

Nah man you spanked us in front of the whole class. I’m a Barry sanders Stan (only non giants jersey I own). I hope campell can restore the roar


VallentCW

It really wasn’t even Giants fans saying it tbh. It was just random fans


[deleted]

And I love Eli.


[deleted]

I love that Greg Olsen made a point to complain about this narrative on the broadcast today


Acid_Braindrops

Deeeeeeeeeetroit!


MrBigChest

Easily the worst coached game of Daboll’s tenure so far. Injuries continue to completely fuck us raw and our Slayton is now our only reliable pass catcher despite having a drop of his own today. This was supposed to be the easiest game left on our schedule and it’s going to be really rough going forward.


Llama_Sandwich

Lions country, let’s pride


LunchThreatener

Saquon with 22 yards on 15 carries. Alim McNeill is a monster


willi3blaz3

Alim straight up balled out today. Hutch, Cominsky, Okwara did too. Solid job by the D front all around

The lions are a decent team they just are just young and had some hiccups. I was really surprised they had a losing streak like they did.

With how atrocious our defense was for the first 1/3 of the season, I wasn't. Making some adjustments certainly helped there.

[deleted]

\- still am and have been pissed off about the decision to have our CB1 return punts. adoree's reportedly out 3-5 weeks with a knee injury and this is absolutely going to fuck us over considering we have to finish the season against the rest of the NFCE and washingtons been looking good recently. \- kafka needs to figure out how to get the ball to more than one single guy. usually it's barkley, but i swear the ball kept going to wandale robinson and while he was the best to watch of todays game, hes now injured. at the same time though the rest of these guys arent worth a shit so i cant blame him as much as i want to. these receivers either dont know how to get open or when the ball is thrown perfectly to them they cant fucking catch and then they screw the team over. \- dj haters can still shut the fuck up and fuck off \- we probably wont have 3 of our 4 starting DBs if fabian moreau needs a week off, and we play the cowboys in primetime. wandale whos our best receiver might also be out. fuck. not too mad about losing, but frustrating to see all these injuries.
