The Lions need to go into next season with a sure-fire starting center. It needs to be either a veteran or a college player with plenty of experience.
I don’t think their plan can be to start Ratledge at center, we can’t afford another year of playing the guessing game amid a shrinking window.

Frank Ragnow was the MVP of the offense. Good for him to retire while he still can but it sucks not having him on the field
Man, Goff accuracy goes down if he gets moved off the spot.

One of the most pathetic offensive showing we've seen in awhile. It's basically just a few Gibbs screens, one St. Brown catch, and the one Jamo crosser - that's it for positive plays.

The Grey Cup was tonight and it’s -4° C in Winnipeg - no issues with the quarterbacks. In Philadelphia, it’s 6° C.
Cold isn’t an excuse for the Lions.

Dan Campbell has been a Coach of the Year candidate for three years in a row (and probably four after this year).
The coaches that won instead of him:
2022: Brian Daboll - fired
2023: Kevin Stefanski - will probably get fired
2024: Kevin O’Connell - team has regressed significantly

PFF gave Trystan Colon a pass blocking grade of 1.4.
Also per PFF, he had 9 pass blocking snaps and allowed 0 pressures, hurries, hits, or sacks.
So how is PFF coming up with a 1.4 grade?
