Does keeping 4 TEs and just 4 WRs on the active roster imply pretty substantial 13 personnel usage? Was Dortch maybe just too small to run a every man blocks type of offense? Tay is 6'3 185, maybe that helps explain it.

I kind of starting having my doubts and started not liking the guy when he missed that wide open tackle on Dak that led to the Cedee's 92 yard TD against us back in 23. It was literally a wide open tackle and I 100% think we would've won that game if not for that.

I feel like in general he's been super underwhelming, constantly getting burned in coverage and missing tackles. Watching him getting routed up by Jameis Winston this past year was kind of my last straw.

Derrick Barnes ranks for 2025: 112th in tackles, 123rd in tackles for a loss, 88th in sacks (zero sacks in the last 9 games), 90th in interceptions. Zero forced fumbles, zero fumble recoveries. He was targeted 27 times in pass defense and the opponent caught 24 of those for 89% completion percentage against. All this playing 85% of the snaps. 41st/88 LBs per PFF.

At least from what I've seen and the stats, I just haven't been impressed by this undersized 6'0 LB.

they are devolving into shock jock radio by the minute

Anybody know what time the release is happening today? My two boys are clamoring for a Jamo jersey.

could this be Tom Kennedy’s moment?

They completely block the view of everyone behind them paying full price for tickets! They are an eye sore and are terrible for any fan that has the unfortunate seats in the section they are in.

Technically the Bills only signed him to the practice squad, so the Lions could still bring him back as long as they put him on the actual 53-man roster.

There is a rule where they cant poach another players practice squad players for the 6 days leading up to the game, so they would either have to bring him back prior to the 11th or wait until after the bills game week 2.

It seems like toe perfect of a fit for them to just let him walk right?

Does anyone know why you can't find Alim McNeill jerseys anywhere? There are none in any color on Lions Supply, Fanatics, or the NFL shop. So I was hoping his Rivalry jersey would be available since he was in the launch images, but the collection went up on the store today and still no Alim option in the Lions shop.

The weirdest part to me is that if you order a custom jersey, he seems to be the only guy not listed on the drop down player list. You can manually fill out 54 and his name, but the jersey still won't be correct because the name plate comes out as "MCNEILL" with a capital C — his game jersey reads "McNEILL."

So what's the deal? Is he in some kind of licensing dispute or something?

No going to lie, the hat and shoes look noice.

I thought there was still bad blood between him and the Knicks but guess not

Anyone else cop these? Just ordered mine!

Just a fun theory but I think we're winning the Super Bowl

Saints:

2006: lost NFCCG

2007: no playoff wins

2008: 8-8, lead NFL in scoring, missed playoffs

2009: won SB XLIV

Lions:

2023: lost NFCCG

2024: no playoff wins

2025: 9-8, T-3 in scoring, missed playoffs

2026: ???

Saints hosted the Lions week one of 2009. Lions are hosting the Saints week one of 2026. Week one of 2009 and 2026 is September 13. Saints were huge underdogs going into 2009. Lions are underdogs going into the year after underpeforming in 2025. Saints won the Super Bowl. Will the Lions win the Super Bowl?

Just not in the preseason lol

2024 6th round pick. 26 games one start.
