Dan Campbell Press Conference | Oct. 16, 2023 

Hes more than just a coach. He is DETROIT

One hell of a coach.

​@@Alan_EdwardsWayne Fontes > dan

Hes the beating heart of Detroit Michigan....

No doubt about it.

Even us oldsters never saw such a string of Lion's games like the last sixteen.

​@@camp44magmaybe during the Bobby Layne Era? I recall Alex Karras and Roger Brown giving the Packers fits. That was likely the Milt Plum Era.

Schwartz wasn't an idiot no disrespect to mcdc and the staff he's got but if Schwartz had the players and leaders and this gm he would've been doing just fine IMHO... I really think Goff has a great feel for the game and is just a leader better than staff ever was, staffs arm was amazing and he really seems to know how to get the best out of a wr but overall I think Goff more knowledgeable about the game and understands the intricacies that will lead to more wins.

83 they had a good team.Outplayed a loaded 49er team in San Francisco in that playoff game .Eddie murray missed that kick

61.....right there with you.

@@Alan_Edwards definitely started with brad, went out got competent players, with a little luck we ended up with penei and hutch obviously the trade for staff which gave us more picks, obviously he hired Dan too. Been a great job from top to bottom.

No more soavt.... same ol audio vid-i think you get it😂😂

@@cornelioust2165😂

So nice to actually hear the questions.

Finally... about time. It's always sounded as if a 3rd Grader A/V class was doing the sound...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

We were all waiting on that deep ball Jamo TD! This one meant so much more than his wide open TD vs Minnesota last season for some reason. This one felt way more special.

Good luck to the Lions facing the Ravens

Also if hurt alright coach if you say it's 3 games it's 3 games but I wanna go

Agreed. Getting Gibbs back and rotating with Reynolds can still be explosive while Montgomery heals up.

Amen. I totally agree..And feel & think the same.

No need to rush everyone back if you can win with 2nd/3rd string guys. Heal up, rest up, get some dubs while the non-starter guys get reps and experience... Bring back the big dogs for the big games. It's basically the opposite of tanking! Lol

@@BastardZombieKiller1 yea exactly. Campbell said last week that Gibbs was really close and then all the sudden he doesnt play today, Vaitai has been active last 2 weeks without a snap. Im sitting back like "theyre just blatantly resting as many key guys as they can" and i love it

He's a former player, pretty sure he won't let guys come back unless they're 100% He did the same thing last year (This is a good thing imo not a complaint)

​@@apexpredator7536 bring back Billy sims

@@debrachampagne7715 lol, he's almost 70

@@paulmayer8654Lamar is so overrated

@@paulmayer8654 half of the QBs you mention are not awful.

@@paulmayer8654 Yes I do. Minshew has been pretty good, Burrow has most definitely not been awful, Stroud has been consistently good this year.

@@paulmayer8654 At that point we've got a disagreement on metrics. I don't put much stock in QB rating; you can see for example how players like Russell Wilson and Justin Fields look good in that metric but quite bad in Adjusted QBR and some other ways of measuring QB performance. QB rating is just a pretty bad way of evaluating it IMO. When you look at a player like Stroud who has done well in their other games but did worse against one opponent, it's more likely the case that the result had more to do with the defense they are facing than the quarterback. Same reason why Purdy looked a lot worse against Cleveland.

Attack the lbs of Baltimore. It’s going to be another grinder but our defense can limit just about anything they wanna do on offense. I wouldn’t be surprise if they come out running RPO plays to slow our edges down

It wasn't ever warm.

I heard the questions just fine. Turn up the volume a little, maybe?

This is definitely not the media session to complain about the 🎤. Go see all of 2022 and the beginning of this season.

Nice.

Nice

Jamaal still on IR lol

He'll be back after the bye if not sooner. Swift was always hurt so how you gonna say him while complaining about Montgomery. Also Jamaal is injured too and have you watched David play? He is amazing. We need help in pass pro. Bro please. If you don't want the games just say that. Goff just threw for over 350 yards without his top 2 RBs in the game

Derrick Henry

​@@WalterHarris-h4sgoodness I didn't know that... This league is so rough on RB...

@@huntercook22 Agree. A month off at most & a flak jacket thereafter. Swift was 10/18 rushing,8/40 1 TD catching yesterday. PHI has already broken him, imo.

I haven't been a Lions fan all my life, but I lived an hour from Detroit for fifteen years, and I have followed football since the late 70s. If you want an honest comparison, these Lions are reminding me of the Steelers after they hired Chuck Noll in 1969. They had never won a single playoff game in franchise history (35 years at that time), and the team culture was awful. Being traded to them in 1958 was why Bobby Layne cursed the Lions. In Noll's first year, he drafted Mean Joe Greene and began changing the Steeler mindset to a winning culture. They were 1-13 that year. They followed that with more excellent drafting, and went 5-9 and 6-8 the following two years. In 1972, it all came together, and they won their first-ever playoff game with the Immaculate Reception. Two years later, they won their first of four Super Bowls in 6 years. Is MCDC the next Chuck Noll? We shall see, but in the meantime, he has this team on a very similar trajectory.

@@MrSprigg NICE Post Mr.Sprigg!! 👊🍻

@@MrSprigg Let’s go Lions😁
