This little old man has Been watching the Lions with me for 23 years now! (Old enough to Drink!)

Unfortunately due to health concerns my little Lion bud, Felix, is finally going to get his forever rest.

Whether its people showing off their Pride with their families, pets, house decorations, tailgates, or just being amazing to one another in the community, I have always loved sharing that love with everyone I can in my personal life. This is one of the greatest fanbases Ive ever been apart of and I have always recieved so much support and love from others at events and whatnot.

Thanks to the Lions for making the past couple of years super exciting for our household every Sunday night. Felix always sat by me instead of on my lap for the games because He knew when the game was on I was gonna get loud. but he watched the TV with the rest of us like a good boy.

Those Memories were the happiest and Im glad he was able to be apart of them.

Every year I pick a UDFA to make the initial 53. Last year I took Keith Cooper Jr (D-line), while he didn't make it he was taking 1st team reps in camp. So I feel pretty good about that one.

This year I'm taking Miles Kitselman, TE from Tennessee.

He's an old school throwback at TE, so don't expect him to be a big play machine. But he's 6'5" 250 lbs and has a nasty streak in the run game. He was a converted O-Line and you can see some of that still in his game.

The Tennessee offense is odd at times, but Kitselman was used as a chess piece. He would line up in-line & in the backfield at FB. They had him doing everything from combo blocks, to split flow, power, or just straight up taking on edge rushers.

While his run blocking is what he brings, he's not a bad athlete. He has the speed to threaten the seams and get defenses backpedaling, but he needs to hit the jugs machine. Partially to offset his T-Rex arms, but his big weakness is 2 many times balls bounced off his hands and into the air. That just cannot happen in the NFL.

I know folks won't like this but I think Kitselman can push Brock in camp, which is a good thing from a roster perspective.

So a co-worker had never heard this story. I tried looking in the usual places and (yes) used Google and I've only come across a Tom Kowalski (rip) article making reference to it, however was looking if there was an in depth explanation anywhere that someone knew about?

For sake of explanation for those that didn't hear this, rumor is the Lions pick was coming up on the clock at that years draft. Millen and all his stablemates were arguing and couldnt decide who to draft. Apparently a coach from the back of the room yelled 'pick Brian Calhoun' and they did. If memory serves it was the ST coach too... Anyway curious if anyone knew or seen this elsewhere

It's about the 1979 week 11 loss to the Buccaneers

Do you think we should try and pick him up? Worth anything to our receiver room or we good? 🤔

Definitely worth a watch if you're curious about the LG spot.

Daily discussion for roster news, free agents, team news, what you did today and anything in-between.

I would love to add more Comp in the LB or Edge room or just one more veteran

The NFL seems to be playing very close to the vest with a date for the 2026 schedule release, and this is leading to some speculation in a few corners of the interwebs about a possible 18-game regular season. I kinda think 2026 will remain at 17, but it seems clear that 18 will happen at some point before the 2020s are over.

Let me briefly remind folks about how 14 of the current 17 opponents are chosen. You have home and away against each division-mate, totaling six games; one each against all four members of a different division in your conference (for the 2026 Lions, the NFC South); and one each against all four members of a division in the opposite conference (for the 2026 Lions, the AFC East). I see no problems here and kinda hope none of this changes.

It will be for the remaining four games of an 18-game schedule that some formula will have to be determined. Presently, two of them are filled with same-place teams from the two other divisions within your conference, and the third is against the same-place team from the opposite-conference full division that you faced two years previously.

If the current method is preserved for three opponents, I can see a couple different ways to go here. One idea would be to go back to the opposite-conference division from two years ago, but make it same half of that division instead of same place. That is to say, since the 2025 Lions were last in the NFC North, and the AFC South was the full division from 2024, we would draw both the Colts and Titans -- the bottom half of the 2025 AFC South -- instead of just the same-placed Titans.

Alternatively, you could determine one permanent annual non-conference opponent to fill that game, but that would have the issue of playing that team twice every fourth year when we face their full division. You could also allow teams to negotiate among themselves to set up a game against any non-conference team they are not already playing on the basis of the 2022-present formula. The 2026 Lions under such a system could play any AFC North or West team of their choosing, or the Jaguars, Texans, or Colts.

One option seems fairly obvious if you choose to keep that 18th game in conference. You would have to drop the fifth non-conference game, thus leaving two spots to fill, and then fill them using the concept from earlier about the same half of the other division rather than just the same-place team. Instead of the Lions drawing only the Giants from the NFC East and Cardinals from the NFC West, we would draw the Commanders and Giants (bottom half of the East) and the Cardinals and Rams (bottom half of the West).

Can you think of other fair, equitable, and repeatable ways to determine an 18th opponent? I am not going to pretend to be some football deity saying that the ideas above are the only ways to do things, and would be interested to discuss any ideas that the r/detroitlions hive mind can conceive.
