Conventional wisdom would suggest this will be a shootout with the winner approaching 40 pts. But I have a feeling it might be a surprisingly low scoring game with both teams attempting to run the ball and playing over their head on defense

From the 2021 class, they have signed three to extensions and three more still have very good chances to be core members of the defense, though two are hurt right now. That was an all-timer draft.

I think we can forget about Houston having any value. He's one step away from getting cut

Sounds like you're just setting yourself up to complain more. if they get one of the two or three guys you think aren't scrubs, they paid too much. if they get someone who isn't as expensive, that guy is a scrub. You're not arguing from a sincere place.

you can't replace Hutch with anyone, and they won't try to do that. They'll try to get help.

I'm not sure where you're going with this but I trust Holmes won't do anything stupid or desperate. It'll probably be someone we'll say, who the hell is that? And they'll give up like a fifth round pick.

Two little points from Campbell's comments today: "Mac and Levi and (DJ) Reader and Paschal and that group... Ukwu, we’ve got Muhammad on practice squad, (Mitchell) Agude, Houston’s still here." Ouch. "If we get somebody, great. If we don't, these are our guys and the coaches know that." They are going to make a move. It might be a Holmes typical Tim Patrick-style move for someone we wouldn't think of at a lower cost, though

I mean yeah, just like every other NFL player. All of them suffer later in life from accumulated injuries

You never know. The Lions should still go deep into the playoffs so maybe late January could be possible.

it's worth noting that Hutch suffered a fractured ankle at Michigan in 2020 and came back the following year with 14 sacks. This won't derail his career. Still sucks though.

Lions second unit is in too

I think its unlikely the Lions are done yet

Lions are still going hard like they're pissed off Hutch got hurt and they're going to take it out on the Cowboys
