Every moment in sports where a team comes from behind or does the impossible, it starts with a belief. Velenti is analytical and adding up the numbers, hope and belief are not analytical. The mindset of pro athlete is that they can do it until proven otherwise. The Lions believe they can win until the last 3 games proves otherwise, so the analytical view of the injuries seems crazy. This will be the Lions finest hour or turn into what Valenti believes.
It’s good that the players are approaching it this way but fans are left to speculate until we see the results.. we’re not in the locker room so for all we know it’s a facade.. I’m not doubting the determination in the locker room but talent matters too and a lot of it will be on the sideline for the rest of the season
Scheme change .. Branch move to Hybrid LB/DB especially on key downs, have Brandon Joseph replace Branch at strong safety. This will help the depleted LB room. Branch will stop the run and cover TE's and RB's better than Long or Alexander.
The Lions should just bench all their starters over the next 3 weeks and go into the playoffs healthy and rested. Heck, they're 6-0 on the road anyway, including wins over really good teams.
What if the Lions coaches want to beat the bears without using a lot of energy. Conserving energy for the playoffs. Knowing that beating the bears 20-10 is the same win as 45 - 10. And creating some extra rest for certain players.

TJ is right. Keep the positive vibes and manifest the good. Feed the right wolf.

Chiefs are barely beating anybody but Lions need to have a blowout against Bears?!?

Changing the mentality that got them where they are would do more harm than good. Especially this late in the season.
this show blows
