Last night was a rematch of our first playoff game last season. This coming Sunday we have a rematch from our second playoff game last season with Tampa coming to Detroit. Then the week after that we have a rematch of our third playoff game last season as we go on the road to play the Arizona Cardinals. Wait. what? Someone messed up. They scheduled the wrong NCF West opponent for us in week 3.

A lot of "what ifs" in the Lions history but there is a big one I have thought of a few times over last year. In 2017 we drafted LB Jarrad Davis with the 21st pick. Later with the 30th pick the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted a guy you might have heard of, T.J. Watt. Just imagine if we had drafted Watt instead. He might have asked to be traded before Campbell arrived in Detroit. But if we had kept him I think he would have loved playing for Campbell. Just imagine how better our D and thus our team would be with Watt on it. We might have gone to the SB last season. Sigh.

Looking at our schedule I was thinking I was going to miss our 12/5 game against Green Bay since that is a Thursday, I will be working and don't have Amazon Prime anyways. Then I remembered we have Thursday Night Football channel at work. I am watching tonight's game and will get to see that Lions/Packers game. Woo woo.

Not sure about the standings but it will be meaningful. Lions with a chance to beat Green Bay is always meaningful.

Injuries are starting to add up. WR Williams is questionable with ankle issue. Other Williams WR, Isaiah, has been ruled out. So are already thin WR group is getting even thinner. DE Marcus Davenport is doubtful. We also have a S ruled out and another, Kirby who had the INT last week, is questionable. Lucky for us, Tampa Bay is banged up even more than we are this week.

Lions not playing starting offense during preseason is hurting them this season. I keep waiting for them to flip the switch but has not happened yet. We barely beat the Rams last week and this week against a beat-up Tampa team we look pathetic. This is on Campbell too. If they don't screw up the FG at the end of the first half, they could have kicked a go-ahead FG instead of having to go for it on 4th down. Well, we started 1-1 last year. Hopefully we can start turning things around next week.

Things just keep getting better. We are on the road in Arizona next week. They are playing the Rams, the team we barely beat at home last week, and Arizona is already up 14-0 after only 8 minutes. Marvin Harris Jr. is breaking out. Two catches, 83 yards and two TDs. Oh boy. We are gonna get destroyed next week. Then on MNF Seattle is in town and they have had our number the last few years. What can I say but, Go Wings.
