What position did Branch play today? Wondering if he played slot corner or strong safety? ThanksBranch was pissed at himself in the locker room
missed a tackle
that's 5 missed tackles in 4 years, his first as a pro

Many of these are from the 16 game era, but right around 99% of 0-3 teams don't make the playoffs. Vikings and Bears are both in deep, although I do expect Minnesota to come back from that at least somewhat.
It looks like we have a couple additional byes on the schedule the way the Bears look.
I would never say that. Everyone thought the same thing about the Cardinals and they have been in every game.
In 7 weeks this maybe a different team.
The rookie class coming through big this week. Branch looks like a DROTY candidate and pushing Hutch for defensive mvp of the team. He sure looked like the best player on the field today.

Branch was the best player on the D yesterday. Not used to see a Detroit secondary player coming up and making plays like Branch can
“F*** it. Show him that I’m not scared to tackle. I’ll take the flag, to be honest.”
Vikings now O - 3
their Iowa TE dropped the ball in the end zone that became a double deflection interception
hit him in the hands
That was a very tough throw and catch. Cousins threw a fastball away from Hockenson. The Vikings end of the game clock management was so awful.

Herbert threw two fastballs to his less heralded TE
#1 from 3 yards
#2 from 1 yard
Neither was an easy grab
I agree with this but it goes both ways and includes possible draft picks . All the Bijan fans were probably just waiting for him to do well against the Lions, since they coulda woulda drafted him at 6 instead of trading back for the combo of Gibbs and LaPorta. let's just go with the guys we have, they definitely seem to be on the right track with the current team they have assembled.who cares what former Lion players do? What is this fascination with former Lions

Not always agree with PFF, but those are good rankings. As well as Branch played, Hutch had a hell of a game. Branch and LaPorta are playing like top 10 picks. Pro-Bowlers this year.Aidan Hutchinson (91.8) and Brian Branch (84.9) lead the way for Lions on defense in PFF grades. Hutchinson with another six pressures, his first two sacks of the year, & a fumble recovery.
IDC one way or another about Hock, was watching the end game & posted what had just happened. I hope Swift balls out, I remain a big fan of Slay’s game, Stafford is a good dude who deserves what he’s achieved out west.
VoldemortDan Campbell has passed Matt Patricia in wins.
Dan Campbell now has 14 wins in 37 games to Voldemort’s 13 in 43.
He is tied for the 14th most wins in Lions history with Dutch Clark.

Thinking about GB I’m speculating that the Packers come out the more emotional team. Playing at home in a big revenge game against a divisional opponent in a Thursday night contest would be reasons that this may happen.
In last year’s game at GB the Lions came out coolly confident and determined and are going to need the same thing in this game.
I’m not good at predictions but good chance Lions will need to weather an early storm from the GB defense which is a good one.
Lions defense hopefully can respond and can get Love to turn it over early and take away their momentum.
