That's great LondonLion. It'll be great to meet you. I'll message you my cell and tell Malto you are coming. We've been tailgating at the Eastern Market but my son said he found another place that's cheaper and closer. I'll speak with him. Malto and I will keep you abreast of the situation. Don't worry about food. Malto and I will have plenty.

I'll see if we can make it to this one as well. The wife says her friend knows a guy who can get us tickets for 3 games (2 tickets) for $200 total

I was quietly hoping they'd bring in Equanimeous for training camp. Time for the Lions to call up their other brother Osiris and unlock his hidden potential.

Report: Amon-Ra St. Brown’s ankle injury isn’t a long-term concern

Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has established himself as an essential part of the Lions offense, so any injury that kept him out of the lineup for an extended period would be a major problem for the NFC North club.

It appears that St. Brown avoided such an injury in Sunday’s loss to the Vikings. St. Brown injured his ankle during the game and he went for tests on Monday to determine the severity.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the results of those tests were “encouraging” and that the injury is not expected to be a long-term concern.

Wednesday will bring the start of a new practice week and St. Brown’s participation level will shed light on the possibility that he will have to miss Week Four’s game against the Seahawks.

Report: Lions RB D’Andre Swift suffers shoulder sprain, ‘could miss time’


The Detroit Lions starting running back D’Andre Swift suffers a shoulder sprain and reaggravated his ankle in Week 3.

By the end of the season, Swift should be be missing time on the waiver wire. Time to move on.

C'mon man. If he had another A list backup (sorry J Williams is good for what he does, but we need someone else that could take it to the house)

Williams is a good back-up. But Swift is the only guy with any sort of explosive ability, really on the whole offense. Getting Jameson healthy and on the field will hopefully help remedy that (but he absolutely should not be rushed).

Justin Jackson isn't a speedster, but he has juice. I wish they would give him some snaps.

Dan Campbell offers a message to Lions fans after the rough loss in Week 3

In the aftermath of a disheartening Detroit loss that brought more than a few cries of “Same Old Lions” from a lot of fans and media members (both local and national), head coach Dan Campbell offered up some words of encouragement.

During his press conference back at the team headquarters in Allen Park on Monday, Campbell was asked if he had anything to say to the long-suffering fans. Campbell played in Detroit during the Matt Millen era, so he’s acutely aware of the agony of defeat.

Here’s what Campbell had to say,

“Yeah, listen, I get the road that everybody’s been down. Listen, I’m not sweating it. I’m not sweating it, this team’s not sweating it. We’ve got a long season. You look out throughout this League, and it happens this way every year, and I feel like what happens to you early in the season is – it really molds who you’re going to be as the season goes on and late in the season. Those ones that can endure the adversity of the season, the ups and downs and just stay in the race are the ones that have success. And that’s all we’ve got to worry about is our own – we’ve just got to – let’s clean up all the little errors.

And I told them, I said, ‘Look, failing isn’t failure unless you don’t learn from it.’ And so, that was a tough one. We were up two scores. Should have won that game, but you know what, we didn’t earn the right to win that game. Minnesota did, and we’ve got to look long and hard in the mirror to ourselves, and we’ve got to clean up these errors. And it’s not an excuse, but we are still young, and we’ve got some guys that even though they’re not old players, they haven’t played a lot of football, or they’re not young players, they haven’t played a lot of football.

So, we’ve got to learn from it, and we’ve got to move on and be better the next time it comes up, but I’m not – listen this is not time to go into panic mode. This is not the time to worry. This is time to do just what we did from Philly to Washington. Let’s just get better. Let’s just focus on the little details, so that’s what it’s about.”

Let’s focus on the second paragraph for a second. Campbell dished out a critical statement,

“Failing isn’t failure unless you don’t learn from it.”

This has been where previous regimes in Detroit have dropped the ball. The failures are painful to deal with, as Campbell well knows. But the ability to build from the failures and learn from the mistakes, implementing changes that will help prevent more losses down the road, that’s where Campbell can be a difference-maker for the Lions. It starts with the coach himself and his in-game decision-making failures.
