On SideLion Report: Did you know that the #Lions have a losing record when they have more rest days than their opponents? That doesn't bode well against two of their final three opponents at a time when they need to win out. #DetroitLions #OnePride

More rest days than an opponent should be an advantage - unless you're the Lions
Lions need all the rest they can get, but their generous rest schedule hasn't translated to wins.

On SideLion Report: #Lions QB Jared Goff played amazingly in Sunday's loss against his former #Rams team, and his successor climbing the franchise's passing yards list must've made that loss sting just a tiny bit more. #DetroitLions #OnePride

The #Lions fall to 0-6 when Jahmyr Gibbs fails to score a TD (8-0 when it does). Could be play-calling. Could be luck of the opponent draw. Could be just a coincidence.

I won't put this #Rams loss on anyone on offense, but this every other game thing out of Gibbs lately isn't helping. #OnePride
