If you are worried about the Lions draft position while they are outplaying and outcoaching what has been one of the NFC's best teams this season, you are doing it wrong

I know most Lions fans are hung up on draft position but reality is the Lions' future doesn't hinge on whether they pick 1, 2, 5, whatever in the 2022 NFL Draft. It hinges on whether or not the hires of Campbell and Holmes work out. Win or lose I want to see positive signs there.

I'm a little surprised at what I'm seeing on my timeline. Thought all Lions fans would see Seattle winning as the preferred result. I know it delays the playoff clinching scenario, but the Eagles loss is more important in the big picture.

These are the kind of players it makes sense to target in free agency. Glover Quin was the same when the Lions signed him from Houston and that was a great signing.
Jesse James is 24 turning 25. Justin Coleman is 25 turning 26. Trey Flowers is 25 turning 26. The Lions are not only getting good players that fit well on this team, but they're getting YOUNG players in their prime that could get even better.

Signing Decker to a long extension that doesn't even put him into the top five of LT money at the time of signing seems like a big win for the Lions.
The Lions have agreed to a six-year, $85 million deal with Taylor Decker, according to
@SportsAmdg
$37.5 million is fully guaranteed, the agency says.

Lost in the discussion about the Lions swapping out their RB tandem from a year ago is that they replaced guys with basically zero overlap in their skillset with two guys that while different, also can do some similar things. Jah and Monty are true complementary players.
Lions basically rotated drives between David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.
Monty started, but Gibbs started 2nd half. Both had 2-min drill snaps & goal line opps. Gibbs' playing time was higher because Montgomery's drive was a 75-yard run.
Both had elite cutback runs.

Between Campbell's story of the pass to Penei and the fake punt call, I think this is his goofy way of deflecting credit to his coordinators.
Just so we're all clear, Dan Campbell said on the radio THIS MORNING that he didn't know the wave was happening at Ford Field, so this story is a joke.

I'm not sure how long Anthony Lynn will be for the Lions offensive coordinator job but there was a lot to like from him last night, especially if you could insert a dual-threat quarterback in there. Legit could see them building something that gives defenses fits.

The Pro Bowl has become a quarterback participation trophy.
Of the league's 32 starting quaterbacks 22 are "Pro Bowlers", 5 were rookies and only 5 others were not rookies who haven't been named to a Pro Bowl.

I feel like I'm living in the tension between some fans wanting to crown Goff "the guy" and others for whom Goff could never do anything to be the guy. To me, Goff has so far this season has largely been the good kind of game manager. I think that is what he is and that can be OK

I just can't help but come to the conclusion that the biggest difference on offense and defense for the Lions is that Goff has been such an anchor. Both sides have talent deficiencies and injury issues. D rising above, O has sunk.
This offense is bad.
This offense simply cannot even exist when the running game doesn't work.
Bengals came into this game with the 8th best run defense by DVOA.
This is not a completely surprising result, unfortunately.

After some CBA research, turns out there are a few quirks coming up that could explain why the Lions are doing more backloading than usual despite being in a relatively comfortable cap situation. It all has to do with some different rules that pertain to the final year of the CBA

Goff isn't going to pull rabbits out of a hat like Mahomes or extend plays with his legs like Hurts or do some of the things we saw from Stafford. But Goff has largely been very good at running the offense and executing how they need him to do it.

Perhaps a lost or underappreciated bit of analysis from last night's game is that the "meathead" made all the right situational and game management calls while the "wunderkind genius" did not.
MCDC and the Lions won that game being who they've been all along.
Just about every head coach and GM will tell you what they want their team to be but few can make it happen. Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes have gone out and done exactly what they said they would do and it's no coincidence the Lions won last night being exactly who they are.
