I like the idea that the young Lions players will get to see the Chiefs raise the banner, and the celebration. It might be something to inspire them. they'll see a goal for themselves.
Detroit Lions are deserving of the first win of the season and that is being chosen to play in the NFL season opener! That's a win in itself!!! Lions fans have been waiting, and wait, and waiting, and waiting for so long to cheer, to celebrate and to be fanatical. Those thumps you will be hearing throughout the season won't be from all the people jumping on the band bandwagon it will be from diehard fans knocking them off! Go Lions!!!
@AustinTheTruth well sir, I guess we will never know because they narrowly missed the dance. They were on a hot streak toward the end of last season only losing to the panthers. The lost 5 in a row, ok. Buuuuuuuuut, they won 5 in a row as well. Right after Thanksgiving they went on a 5 game win streak. So in your logic, that does make them a playoff team.
The one argument I would make against this though is the Lions have vastly improved during both seasons under this coaching staff as they seem to figure things out the deeper into the year we get
Dan Campbell is going to have those boys so ready. They're going to shock them. Chiefs will come out flat because of all the emotion and the lions are gonna jump all over them.
Love it. They have all off season to prepare for this game. They know who KC is KC doesn't know who the Lions are particularly on the improved defense. They have a mini-bye to prepare for the next game and iron out any kinks they have in the 1st game. There is a reason why the 1st week of the season is the most unpredictable in the NFL.
I love the match up. In order to be the best you need to beat the best. This will be a great barometer to see where the lions are at. My feeling is the lions will make everyone take notice after this game.
I honestly would prefer the Lions didn't open the season at Arrowhead. It's not a guranteed L, but a likely one. And I think it's critical in the NFL to get a good start, even if I think the Lions are likely to win most of their other games. A game against an average opponent is the prefered way IMO to kick off the season.
I'm just the opposite. This team has to learn to prepare against every opponent with the same intensity week after week. Set the standard with this game. They are playing the world champs in their home stadium, when they raise their super bowl banner. I already know that after one day, DC is pumping his team up....and the rest of the staff is ready to go to war. This young team needs the challenge to set the tone for the rest of the season. And with the prep work going on....they will be ready to compete, and will know they need this intensity for every game the rest of the season. To go to heights this franchise hasn't been to since 1957. #onepride
I just hope the Lions are on TV more, I live in Michigan but my a**hat local stations shows those sad sack bears team most the time. That silly OSUck QB plays for the Bears and in Michigan we're forced to watch them.
It's a great matchup, great story lines and no one knows what the other team will bring for the opener. Goff-Mahomes rematch, finally, from the epic 2018 game in the LA Coliseum. The Rams-Chiefs last year was pathetic. This game is what the fans want to see. Cannot wait and should be wildly entertaining. Both the QBs love playing with the bright lights on. Go Lions!!!
I think this is the perfect way to start the season. I don't know if they can beat the Cheifs, but I can't think of a better opponent to face in order to get their heads out of the clouds. A year of great press after finishing strong, I feel that having a daunting opponent will help Campbell get the team focused and ready to go.
Wish they played KC Week 10. Not bc I’m “scared” but simply bc Lions are young and play better in the 2nd half of the season. And Jamo would be available.
The first game of the season is usually a Super Bowl rematch or a playoff rematch. This is the first time since the TNF game started the season that a non-playoff team has played in that game. This would imply that the NFL believes that the Lions are going to have double-digit wins on their way to the playoffs. Maybe I'm Lionized but those expectations seem kind of high.
If I was Dan Campbell I would put up a sign that says "1-0...PROVE IT" to signify number one, we EXPECT to win... and number 2 to meet the expectations to be a real team this year... prove those expectations correct and prove to everyone who think we ain't ready for kc that we are...1-0.. PROVE It!
Time and again the defending champs come out flat after the banner ceremony. That's quite the emotional dump right before a game. If the chiefs live up to this tradition the lions will be up by 21 b4 they know it. Spring board into the greatest season in the franchises history
Rico is still a SOL fan, clearly. The Lions can beat the Chiefs. KC won't know how to best prepare for the LIons when we have so many new players. And I don't get Rico saying 'young secondary,' since the three DB's we added through free agency are experienced, smart players. I think Maholmes wiil be over-agressive against the LIons and he'll throw a couple interceptions, and maybe one being a pick six. Stop being scared Rico. As someone else mentioned already, we have all summer to prepare for this game. If I was the Lions coaching staff, I would be working on how best to make that game with KC an unpleasant night for the Chiefs, starting now. Wish we had Jamo for the game, but I think the WR the Lions got late in the draft may play in the 1st game, and be a factor in it.
The only reason Michigan hides is because they are at levels that 90% of college football teams aren't at so almost every great team plays mismatches every week. This is why the NFL is so much better than college football is every game is winnable for both teams
This Michigan hiding perspective is an example of terrible recency bias. Yeah the last couple years haven't been thrilling but they used to play Norte Dame every year and there's tons of examples where they're trying to schedule competitive non conference games. Hell like a decade ago they had Alabama and Norte Dame non conference and they both made the championship game haha. It's not like this is something they've done forever or are continuing to do with games with Texas and Oklahoma coming up for example.
Just wrote the same thing before I read this. This is why college football's nowhere near as good as the NFL because probably every opponent Michigan plays this year they need to win and probably buy double digits in every game except two and if they don't it's considered a awful victory. Most of these games aren't even competitive after halftime.

@@kp8747 No as a Michigan fan he’s right, our non-conference schedule is dogshit last year and this year cuz we dropped UCLA for patsies. MSU is playing Washington, way more respect there
@@drayiii980 LOL OK? We played Washington last year. It's like once every so often a great power five match up is played in the first month. Michigan has scheduled Texas and Oklahoma next year (2024 Texas and I think 2025 Oklahoma and 2026 at or home against Texas). Also read the B1G10 is looking to get rid of these weak non power 5 conference games
Game 1 is a bit premature. Everyone is shaking the rust off. It's a setup and will set the tone for the season. I expect a loss. If they lose, I'm interested to see how they bounce back.
Play the starters for the entire first half of the last pre season game, kick the crap outta them like the big ten creaming an Appalachian St......give them confidence, get em ready.
That's it boys and badmouth Mahomes while you're at it talk about how he's overrated nothing us Chiefs fans would love more than back-to-back Super Bowl wins!
Hey greed Jameson Williams is a bit overrated but wow that was a horrible take He's done nothing wrong other than broke some ridiculous rule that I guarantee you pretty much every player breaks in that locker room every week betting amongst each other. It makes no difference with how he will produce or won't produce in his career and tells you nothing about him. If they actually went and looked at every player closely I guarantee you they would have a major problem across the NFL. What's next are they going to stop them from going on to Bitcoin or their stock portfolios in the locker room? We should be in an uproar over this ridiculous rule

Amen Mike. Put the rubber on the road.
Fair point, Rico. This team wants it though. Let's do this.
The reason why this is so great is they have nothing to lose. Say they win that opener they go into instant super bowl contender talk
As a Lions fan since 1971, I'm phucking tired of being "scared". Damn the torpedoes FULL SPEED AHEAD!
Like Brad Holmes said "we don't play scared". Go Lions
damn straight. lets get it. im not scared
I love it Ken, damn straight
Goff vs. Mahomes 2! Goff gonna stay undefeated. Lions win, 48-42! 🦁🦁🦁 #LFG #OnePride
I like the Lions here, they're hungry. Kansas City won't be ready.
What a great opportunity for the lions to announce their presence with authority
Good one, meat! 😂😂😂
@@poolplayergus lol you get it !
I like the idea that the young Lions players will get to see the Chiefs raise the banner, and the celebration. It might be something to inspire them. they'll see a goal for themselves.
The Eagles played the Lions the first game last year, and Detroit gave them hell!

I'm betting 5,000 on the lions 💯💯💯
@TheOlivetreeKing I'm from Detroit seven mile n Hoover 💯
And play they will
Aaannndddd the Lions just won!
100% Williams? ? ? I'm not sold on him! Lets see what happens. Detroit! One Pride! Nothing but Love, Peace, and Happiness!
We have NOITHING to lose; bring it!
Agree with valenti. Also after seeing that video of what game each Lions player is looking forward to most... Half sai the chiefs
Imagine if they win that game.
Exactly!
Exactly!
Hell must have frozen over because that was the only way I thought Mike would be on the Lions bandwagon this hard, haha love it
"We don't play scared, and we don't draft scared" -- Brad Holmes
I love it. Iron sharpens iron.
if we win in kansas city our first home game will be ELECTRIC
It will be electric regardless lol
@@solomo3456 HELLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHH
If you want to fancy yourself a division contender, a superbowl contender, you have to play and beat these teams
Schedule looks great. Can't wait.
I love hearing Mike talk up the lions!!! I haven’t heard this since I started listening to 97.1 10 years ago!
Fans complained about how the lions didnt get into the playoffs and should have. Well, here's their chance to prove it.
Sadly those fans are the exact same people who are going to be complaining about playing Kansas City lol
@@Hydra48 right. I'm excited to play KC. And then 10 days to prepare for the next opponent. I'll take it.
@AustinTheTruth I'm pretty sure the giants that won their last superbowl were 9-7 entering the playoffs. So it's not how you start but how you finish.
@AustinTheTruth so you just made my point. They didn't finish like they started. Lol
@AustinTheTruth well sir, I guess we will never know because they narrowly missed the dance. They were on a hot streak toward the end of last season only losing to the panthers. The lost 5 in a row, ok. Buuuuuuuuut, they won 5 in a row as well. Right after Thanksgiving they went on a 5 game win streak. So in your logic, that does make them a playoff team.
If the Lion’s win against the Kansas City Chiefs in the opener then we’re in the driver’s seat imho .
The one argument I would make against this though is the Lions have vastly improved during both seasons under this coaching staff as they seem to figure things out the deeper into the year we get
agree, and this game against the champs will expediate that process this year ...
Going to Arrowhead for the first game, also being primetime is a rough way for any team to start the season. Hopefully the Lions can keep it close.
I want to beat them at their best. No FEAR! We will be ready.
Dan Campbell is going to have those boys so ready. They're going to shock them. Chiefs will come out flat because of all the emotion and the lions are gonna jump all over them.
We will be ready!
i will beleive it when i see it hope lions burn up!!!
Love it. They have all off season to prepare for this game. They know who KC is KC doesn't know who the Lions are particularly on the improved defense. They have a mini-bye to prepare for the next game and iron out any kinks they have in the 1st game. There is a reason why the 1st week of the season is the most unpredictable in the NFL.
Last time we played them we almost pulled it off but you guys know how that went
@@austinthetruth2285are you a lions fan? I really can’t figure it out lol
I love the match up. In order to be the best you need to beat the best. This will be a great barometer to see where the lions are at. My feeling is the lions will make everyone take notice after this game.
as long as they dont lose 4000-2, this is great. im pumped!
Give up 4k and get a safety. What a performance.

We had Philly last year in the opener and they stuck in that game well. I don't see why you don't like the opponent.
That was my point to barley lost by 3 and upgraded the defense this offseason. I like the lions for the upset week 1
I just hope the Lions are on TV more, I live in Michigan but my a**hat local stations shows those sad sack bears team most the time. That silly OSUck QB plays for the Bears and in Michigan we're forced to watch them.

It’s a win win! I’m excited for what they can do
We have an opportunity to beat the defending Super Bowl champions on national television. Please and thank you
I have never agreed more with Mike than after this video!
I love it!!! To quote Darren McCarty, "the only way out is through." BRING IT!!!
Don't be such a wuss, Rico.
Time and again the defending champs come out flat after the banner ceremony. That's quite the emotional dump right before a game. If the chiefs live up to this tradition the lions will be up by 21 b4 they know it. Spring board into the greatest season in the franchises history
You can always wish.
Why is Rico still on the air?
Zero complaints with this, part of me wishes Jamo woulda been playing in this game but fuck it, bring that shit on
I think the coaches prefer it this way. Early test is big for the team imo
This is a trap game for KC
I predicted the Lions Chiefs to start the season. I also predict Detroit beats that Chiefs ass! Campbell best come up with some plays!
How would KC play Philly Rico? AFC West is matched up with NFC North this season…its not possible.
Chiefs are 6 and 15 against the spread the last 21 times they've been favored by more than a field goal
Rico is still a SOL fan, clearly. The Lions can beat the Chiefs. KC won't know how to best prepare for the LIons when we have so many new players.

Rico is so scary. No turds over here bro
Rico is not a lions fan AT ALL. Therefore his opinion is viewed skeptically. He comes from a pessimistic point of view.
He also changes his opinion like every second week
and he simply sucks and is bad at his job.
His opinion isn't viewed at all, he's trash.
I don't know Rico but his eternal pessimism makes me think he probably is a Lions fan.
Lions haven't been ready to play week 1 the last couple years. 😐

Rico needs to grow a set off balls and except the lions against the chiefs!!! I personally believe the lions will defeat the chiefs.
Game 1 is a bit premature. Everyone is shaking the rust off. It's a setup and will set the tone for the season. I expect a loss. If they lose, I'm interested to see how they bounce back.
Rico is getting worse by the day.
Can you fix the focus on Mike? It's focusing on the background, not the subject...
I love this. Relish the challenge! Lions fans need to stop being scared. Lions are very capable of beating the Chiefs
Play the starters for the entire first half of the last pre season game, kick the crap outta them like the big ten creaming an Appalachian St......give them confidence, get em ready.
Do the show from Arrowhead that week
Check out Andy Reid's record with extra time to prepare for a game It's unbelievably good
Just a reminder we only lost by 4 to the Chiefs with a worse team than what we have now. last time we played Mahomes
totally meaningless. Lions might not have five players from that team still on the roster
Rico with another typical L of a take
The Bills game probably helped to push this, if this aint put up or shut up idk what is
That's it boys and badmouth Mahomes while you're at it talk about how he's overrated nothing us Chiefs fans would love more than back-to-back Super Bowl wins!

IS NOT ON THE TEAM

haha, level the playing field vs the Chiefs? Sanders in his prime wouldnt level the playing field vs the Chiefs.
Cant wait see the Lions get a wake up LOL total destruction hope lions melt down
Chiefs are awful covering large spreads the last few years. Look it up it's really surprisingly bad
And Detroit has been the best team in the NFL ATS

Every year same shit. Stop with all the pre season talk. Show me
They showed you last year we got the talent,. It’s time for more winning
Well we have like 4 months until they can show us anything Tyler. All we can is is talk until then
Gonna be an L. Maybe KC doesn't even bother to prepare for the Lions and it's a close game
Guess we will see
The Team Captains need to make the rest stand and watch the Chiefs Banner-raising ceremony.
