Losing constantly for now every reason there is, isn't being disrespected, respect is earned not given, win something other than 3 playoff games in 60 years, then earn respect.
As a Detroit born sports fan... The only team that hasn't been disrespected... Was the Red Wings. But even that only lasted around the late 90s. There is a reason why the saying, "Detroit Vs Everybody" became a thing a couple years ago. Everyone is always disrespecting the Lions. ALWAYS
If I could, I'd subscribe to your channel twice, in order to get it closer to 50k! Tape don't lie! Watching your videos honestly changed the way I'm watching football. Been a fan of the Lions since the first time I saw Barry Sanders run circles around the opposing defense. Thank you so very much for your level headed way of looking at them! Much appreciated!
@BigR365 I also keep telling people (did a video on TT) that the Lions are only playing their second game outdoors this weekend. The narrative all preseason was "this is going to help the Lions." No way, dude. The NFLPA has petitioned the NFL to get more grass on the fields. If you look at the fact that we have players playing more than they're used to (played two extra home games last year 💪) then you look at the fact that we had an early bye week combined with 12... 12!!! turf games, you're seeing the result of turf wearing on bodies. We need to bring that more to light, man. We had 6 outdoor games last year and we were much healthier, Vikings are going to have their 6th this week and they only have 5 on IR and all 5 are lower extremity (obviously they have to deal with home turf too).
It wasn't though from the Cowboys game onwards our defense was 1 piece away from all but guaranteeing a SB win. If we didn't lose Alim McNeill I'd feel a lot better. I wanna believe the defense can grow we will get a few starters back by the NFC title but without McNeill idk that felt like the final nail in the coffin for making the playoffs a toss up
@KurokamiNajimi I'm talking about last year. Last year they called our defense TRASH and we took it to the championships.. I'm just pointing out that even if our defense is "bad" we can still make it to THE game.
I really feel like we are going to witness something really special from the Lions. All these guys filling in for our guys on IR have a chance to step up in to a position they might have only dreamed of. You get a chance like that... What do you think they will do with it? We have amazing leadership, and all our guys are great! I'm sorry @BigR, I have to say it. I'm so tired of people being so negative just because we lost ONE game. F the media, Stephen A, and those lame ass band wagon fans. Our players are giving it all they got to the point they are getting hurt left and right and these "fans" want to bail on them when they need us the most. Let's give them the support they deserve. Love your content bro. Thanks for all the work you put in to it!
Tape don't lie! So if you present the top 5 teams based on record you'll have, Chiefs Lions Eagles Vikings Bills Keep up your anylizing BigR, I thought Jamo slipped, but you're correct. T A just got burned on defense. Love watching your breakdowns!
The reason why we are being disrespected is our defense sucks now with all of our injuries. We have the most injured players in the NFL. Our offense played sloppy football in the 1st half and it showed. If only we couldve scored on like 3 drives in the 1st half, we wouldve won like 56-48 not lose 48-42. Offense has to play dang near perfect to win the Super Bowl.
It’s because all those injuries, Detroit is the best team in the league but they have so many big injuries, and them losing Dmont is going to really hurt their offense IMO.
We would rather be underdogs. We are actually 3rd in the power rankings now and that is fine. We will fly in under the radar. We will have a chance to get our revenge in February. Go Lions. #OnePride
I feel the same way and it's funny because everyone's mad about the Lions losing to the bills but I'm actually happy we got that loss out of the way because I would rather lose now to an AFC opponent instead of losing after that especially in the playoffs. Because the fact of the matter is we're going to lose a game eventually we're not going to go 20 and 0 and when the Super Bowl. So now we got the loss out of the way there's no pressure and no expectations. I'd rather fly under the radar I hate when everyone jumps on the bandwagon and picks Detroit to win and I hate it when all these Sports media people jump on the bandwagon and say Detroit's the best team in the NFL and all this other crap when they never had that same energy in the past I'd rather them to keep doubting and let the Lions fly under the radar so they don't have to have any expectations
I don't believe so the main reason because they dropped on Stephen A's list is because how many points they allow per game and considering that all these other teams are not really allowing teams to put up 40 something points
I was just saying brother I'm not saying what you preaching was wrong but we got to look at all the stats as of right now Detroit defensively their stats are not up there they got a lot of injuries on defense and that's going to be a problem for them in the playoffs I have a lot of fam on my sons mom side all loins fans and they complain on how many points did defense let opposing teams put up
The are banged up. I listen to your own Lions radio after the Bills game and a 9 out of 10 callers says there's no chance it's over. And it's all based on just too many injuries and bad timing.
First of all, the biggest problem I have with this list is how in the hell are we ranked below the Viqueens? Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we already beat them once this year, on their field already?? I can see the logic of us being below the Bills and the Eagles, but below the Viqueens, Not A Chance In Hell !!!! It will all come out when it's all said and done after week #18 when we whoop Minnesota like the fraudulent Junior Varsity Team that they truly are!!! Philadelphia will implode as usual when it's all said and done and Buffalo had pray to our almighty savior that they don't end up seeing us again before the end of this year because I am going to guarantee that this football game ends up completely different than the first game!!!!;
TBH, I feel more comfortable in the underdog role. This is still a talented and dangerous and gritty team that can beat any team in the NFL. This team has played better on the road this year, and though the Bears and Niners are going to be itching to make a statement in their home games, I like our chances. Besides, who the hell cares about in season rankings anyways. This ain’t college.
Detroit is used too it. Lions fan now knows the only way too shut up the Media plugs is Win and Win some more. As much as the Media market amped up Detroit all year they could be just as happy ripping them apart. The number dont lie. The Lions last season and this season have set massive Club and NFL Historic records in a short span. Goff has 5-6 years left in the tank he's gone relatively un hurt for quite awhile.
MCDC himself has told the entire NFL multiple weeks in a row now that they have no defense. As sad as it is, defense wins championships, and this team just isn't what it could/should be. the lions got walked by the bills at home. they can earn respect back by winning out and stomping on minnesota.
Record breaking injuries….. this team would be 16-1 Super Bowl champs if 90% of our defense wasn’t on IR 😂😂 😂. Crazy that this record breaking amount of injuries couldn’t have happened any other year instead of this year……. Shits just crazy!!!! What luck!
I keep my own stats in a spreadsheet just for my own rankings and what this week did at the top was bring the Lions closer to the pack, the Eagles moved up to second with a big win over a big opponent, and the Bills actually moved down to third because the Bills defensive numbers were hurt more than their offensive numbers were helped. Lions are still the best team in the league but I get the argument that they're vulnerable. But even with a billion injuries on defense, this Lions team is still on par with the best in the league, and against the crowned MVP.
Life long Lions fan. I don't give a poop what power rank the Lions have in the TH-cam channels. This Lions team is a lot of fun. I sure enjoy a winning franchise, it's been a long time coming. All the teams in the top 5 are very good teams. Their "power ranking" means absolutely nothing.
I can totally appreciate your videos! I watch them weekly! I also share them in a group I'm apart of "Black Women Who Love Football" because your teaching style is really digestible. Keep up the good work! I hope to see you in a "Front Office" one day! 💪🏾🦁💪🏾💙🩶🤍🖤 #OnePride
all good brother. check out the press conference from today. watch AG respond , youll understand we dont even see these guys, eyes on the prize, that lombardi
So explain why the Lions were #1 when they played GB with the exact same defense basically but are 4 now because of injuries. The guys tgat came from the injury list that played the Bills are re-out so well have the defense we had. Everything else the same. And if the Lions are still in play for the division and 1 seed, how can they put vikings above them especially since they've played and Vikings lost. Cant say they dropped because of injuries when the defense is the same when tgey were in the 1 spot..
You lose a game, you plummet in power rankings. That's how it goes. Power rankings mean literally nothing. The talking heads will talk. That is their job.
Lions fan here. The biggest problem as I see it is putting a 3 loss team in the top slot. Philly is also being disrespected. Moving the Lions below the Vikings which the Lions have also beaten is terrible. A one loss team like the Chiefs being slotted ever lower is disrespectful too. As I see it.... 1 to 5.... Eagles Bills Chiefs Lions Vikings. Even in a loss Goff puts up his 2nd highest career numbers game (previous was 517) and all the pundits can do is slobber all over Josh Allens knob. At 9:21 in that video I think Goff did not let that play develop as long as he could have though he was pressured. Two steps to his right or even a 3 or 4 step roll out would have given him more time. If you look at it freeze frame at that mark I mention. Patrick is WIDE open as his coverage guy is still turned downfield Laporta could catch a leading pass. He didn't even check down on the play. It looks as if Jamo was the number 1 target and he stuck with it.
Common Sense!! Lions defense didn't show up that day. Goff and his offense played top notch football. MVP for the Lions offense that day for fighting and keeping it within one score.
The defense didn't show up because 3/4 of it is on injured reserve. lol. Because of that our run defense was abysmal and let them have 4 tds and 197 yards when the Lions have held teams previously to just 110 yards or less.
as a lions fan its hard to blame them with the amount of injuries building up especially on our defense we just dont have the personnell to keep up with high powered offenses like that anymore
If I'm a sports reporter on ESPN etc... I have covered the Lions season and used up all the top dog stories there is to cover & build up ... They become a non-story ... By focusing upon the injury (and you can't do that until they actually lose a game), issues you have fresh stories and drama ... At the same time, you can grab viewers of other teams by building them up for a change ... It's all good for the media ... Plus, by dropping them because of the injuries, you set up a great cluster of new storylines weather the Lions go back to winning or continue to lose and drop ... Its reporters being reporters being self-serving and carnival- istic ... You know, obnoxious ...
Hilarious! Did they see the Bills game. They are gaming on the lions for the loss because of the D. We lost by one less than a TD. Sounds like the Bills D is hurting too.
Injuries are catching up to the defense. I think it should be 1st and 2nd and the winner of said game gets the 1 spot. Should be the super bowl preview. Healthy Lions D runs away with it.
Detroit vs Everybody, it never changed. One of the PFF analysts said it was Detroit with Everybody before the Bills game, because they are such a popular team they are the darlings of the NFL right now. But this Bills loss, a game that is easily the Lions worst performance of the year, and they lost by less than a touchdown, yeah after this loss everyone is ready to crown Allen and the Bills and crap all over the Lions. Well you know what, there is no scriptwriter, the Lions control their own destiny, and even though they have faced more adversity than any team this year with injuries, they are still a team that can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime. I don't care that we have one cheek and three toes, we will still beat you. It's coming, that light at the end of the tunnel, and it is not your peaceful end, it is the Lions running like a freight train over you. Yeah Steven A, yeah PFF, talk you garbage, we comin, and we got even more receipts now!
I dont think its disrespectful. We are banged up to all hell. I see us as the #3 or #4 best team. We will see whether the Vikings are for real on a couple weeks.
Everybody makes it seem like the bills just pulverized the Lions SMH if you look at the game, and the stats, the bills had 12 possessions and the Lions had 11 possessions. So if you look at the game that fumble by Sam Brown was basically the one possession that turned the tide of the game and the Lions would have at least been able to tie the game if not win the game had that fumble not happened. So even though the bills were leading in possessions, Detroit was able to flip it to where they were actually leading in possessions but that fumble by Sam Brown gave the possession lead back to the bills let's be honest neither team was playing much defense even the bills they weren't doing that much defense but they did have a big player two with the fumble with Sam Brown and a few sacks on Jared Goff and that was probably the difference in the game. But the game was 4842 and possessions were bills 12 in Detroit 11. So if you just look at it simple terms that fumble by Saint Brown basically cost the Lions the game and I'm sure there's a bunch of more crap that cost a lot of the game but if you just look at it in a simple terms if the lines would have kept that possession cuz that was a big play that same brown caught the pass for first down and then fumble the ball, that play they would have probably at least scored three but most likely they would have scored seven with how the offense was rolling at the end of the game. So in theory if the lines were the kept that drive going in Saint Brown didn't fumble the Lions probably the one the game by one point but nobody wants to look at it like that they just assume the bills just beat the Lions down, which they did at the beginning of the game but at the end of the game the Lions basically took over and the bills were just able to hang in there and respond after each Detroit score. But yeah same round in the phone with that ball Detroit would have even out the possession stop and probably won the game by a point. I'm not taking anything away from Buffalo but I just get tired of all these Sports media people coming and making it seem like Detroit just had no answer when both defenses basically had no answer because Detroit still put up 42 points and you can't call it garbage time when Detroit literally fought to the last minute and nearly got the onside kick
My guy you can watch all the film you want to we got 22 guys on IR 19 of these guys are on defense bro that’s damn near two starting lineups, like stop bro. I’m sorry yea we were never really out rod the game but dude that game was not 6pt game we never got a stop hit once so please stop and accept fate.
They are not being disrespected against, its true, they lost and they lost 3 more key players for the rest of the season and maybe even into the next, wait until they lose in Chicago, then talk disrespect, they may drop out if the top 10.
You are completely outside of your mind!!! The Lions could show up in Chicago and play this game without any of their starters and the Lions would still win the game by double digits!!!;
Lions are 4th because they have so many on the IR list. 25 people is the most in the NFL. They have no running game any more. No team has ever won the Superbowl with over 16 on the IR list. FACT.
Dey aint do dat to the bills when they lost to the rams but we loose to a sb contender n now we aint shit! Dese mfs move the goal post for the teams they want
Lions definitely dropped forsure.. do i still believe we can make it happen and reach the superbow yes is it going to be much harder ofcourse but if anyone is built for it, it's DETROIT.
Simple. Lions win last 3 by 1 point. Eagles blowout last 3 by 40 each. Who gets the 1 seed. Lions do. So these pundits rating philly get ready to explain how you have to flip them dispite philly winning out. You will look stupid.
The only thing that definitely is going to happen is that they will implode before the end of the regular season is over. If you haven't noticed, they already have internal bitching and bickering between the receivers and your Junior Varsity Quarterback
They aint being disrespected bro they have over 20 people on IR, the defense will crumble against any team they face in the playoffs. Just unlucky with injuries.
@@BigR365 What? Defense doesn’t matter? It sure did against the Bills. The team we are currently most likely to play in the SB. IF we get past all of the other good teams in the NFC. You see that happening with the current defense. Even if some players on defense come back they surely won’t be in 100% football shape. In the playoffs o you only get one game at a time to get in shape.
Disrespect is nothing new to us Lions fans
Detroit Versus Everybody!
I've seen lists with the packers above us too! 1 loss to the now #1 team and our 4-0 division lead means trash 😂
That is correct Lions vs the 🌎!!!
Disrespect is like fuel for the Lions.
I prefer to be in this “slept on/overlooked/disrespected” spot. This is precisely when this team plays its angriest football.
Idk if you heard but St. Brown apparently had food poisoning during this game and put up career numbers. Man's built different
Threw up for the first time in his life and still balled out
I’ve had 2 different types of food poisoning neither Salmonella or Shingleosis are a picnic I can’t imagine playing with either
Despite that he still caught like a 50 yard touchdown pass
Detroit vs. Everybody for a reason.
As a Lions fan we are used to being disrespected. Detroit v. Everyone.
Losing constantly for now every reason there is, isn't being disrespected, respect is earned not given, win something other than 3 playoff games in 60 years, then earn respect.
@@up0820 You are a straight hater. Wtf does that have to do with this season. Get over yourself. You must be a Packers fan.

I’m just trying to bring something different to the game! Appreciate the support @Vorchakali 👊🏾🏈
All 22 film is…
Proof that power rankings are half performance and half popularity.
It's nothing new to us Lions fans...
What's crazy, the Lions' D was considered BAD last year, and they made it to the NFC Championships...
Exactly!!!! 👊🏾🏈
@BigR365 I also keep telling people (did a video on TT) that the Lions are only playing their second game outdoors this weekend. The narrative all preseason was "this is going to help the Lions."

Great video, I hope the media keeps disrespecting the Lions. Keeps that chip on their shoulder!
I always used the terms FAR SIDE and NEAR SIDE to describe what side of the field you are refering to.
Lol it’s the same thing I was just taught differently 👊🏾🏈
I've always used wide side and short side.
Lions only lost 2 games and by 6 points to bills how they drop to 4 is crazy
I love watching your film studies. Gives me a better understanding of the game.
Everyone writing us off because of injuries
Our defensive line is made of Home Depot associates bro. Our number 1 corner for the rest of the year is ranked 50th and is a rookie pi machine.
@Werdnasemajjamesandrew z Smith an reader is home depot guys ? An terrion hasn't been called for pi as much as the season progresses
Tape don't lie! So if you present the top 5 teams based on record you'll have,
Chiefs
Lions
Eagles
Vikings
Bills
Keep up your anylizing BigR, I thought Jamo slipped, but you're correct. T A just got burned on defense.

1. Eagles
2. Bills

5. Chiefs

When facing Philly the number 1 guy you need to gameplan for is Jalen Carter, not Saquon, not AJ

At 9:21 in that video I think Goff did not let that play develop as long as he could have though he was pressured. Two steps to his right or even a 3 or 4 step roll out would have given him more time. If you look at it freeze frame at that mark I mention. Patrick is WIDE open as his coverage guy is still turned downfield Laporta could catch a leading pass. He didn't even check down on the play. It looks as if Jamo was the number 1 target and he stuck with it.
TapeDon't lie
Let's GO!!!!!
i feel the disrespect is purely stemming from a defensive point of view, lost alim who was a key piece of our defense and carlton davis
You can watch film but you can’t watch film on injured people
Detroit vs Everybody Let's Go Detroit Lions Detroit stand up OOOOOO YEEAAA F everybody else
Common Sense!! Lions defense didn't show up that day. Goff and his offense played top notch football. MVP for the Lions offense that day for fighting and keeping it within one score.
The defense didn't show up because 3/4 of it is on injured reserve. lol. Because of that our run defense was abysmal and let them have 4 tds and 197 yards when the Lions have held teams previously to just 110 yards or less.
@sparkeyjames common sense!! Who does not know about the defense
as a lions fan its hard to blame them with the amount of injuries building up especially on our defense we just dont have the personnell to keep up with high powered offenses like that anymore
i still think we can go all the way i always will but every single injury just feels like another stab in the heart man
I think the drop in the ranking is due to the injuries more so than the loss.
If I'm a sports reporter on ESPN etc... I have covered the Lions season and used up all the top dog stories there is to cover & build up ... They become a non-story ... By focusing upon the injury (and you can't do that until they actually lose a game), issues you have fresh stories and drama ... At the same time, you can grab viewers of other teams by building them up for a change ... It's all good for the media ... Plus, by dropping them because of the injuries, you set up a great cluster of new storylines weather the Lions go back to winning or continue to lose and drop ... Its reporters being reporters being self-serving and carnival- istic ... You know, obnoxious ...
Hilarious! Did they see the Bills game. They are gaming on the lions for the loss because of the D. We lost by one less than a TD. Sounds like the Bills D is hurting too.
Detroit vs everybody
Injuries are catching up to the defense. I think it should be 1st and 2nd and the winner of said game gets the 1 spot. Should be the super bowl preview. Healthy Lions D runs away with it.
Big R. Nick Saban would call this rat poison. And it was yummy…. Let’s go Lions. Sometimes I wonder if the media even watch the games. #tapedontlie
Lucky you got our back, cus tape don’t lie
Detroit vs Everybody, it never changed. One of the PFF analysts said it was Detroit with Everybody before the Bills game, because they are such a popular team they are the darlings of the NFL right now. But this Bills loss, a game that is easily the Lions worst performance of the year, and they lost by less than a touchdown, yeah after this loss everyone is ready to crown Allen and the Bills and crap all over the Lions. Well you know what, there is no scriptwriter, the Lions control their own destiny, and even though they have faced more adversity than any team this year with injuries, they are still a team that can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime. I don't care that we have one cheek and three toes, we will still beat you. It's coming, that light at the end of the tunnel, and it is not your peaceful end, it is the Lions running like a freight train over you. Yeah Steven A, yeah PFF, talk you garbage, we comin, and we got even more receipts now!
They should be ranked lower. We have 22 injuries and David Montgomery is 23. Lions fans are showing how stupid they are lately.
U must b one of those incompetent mahomo fans ! U are not welcome to comment on the lions or the nfl on any platform ever again !
Vikings ahead of Lions?
I dont think its disrespectful. We are banged up to all hell. I see us as the #3 or #4 best team. We will see whether the Vikings are for real on a couple weeks.
Defense is Sus. Yall are beatable
Y’all?
Everybody makes it seem like the bills just pulverized the Lions SMH if you look at the game, and the stats, the bills had 12 possessions and the Lions had 11 possessions. So if you look at the game that fumble by Sam Brown was basically the one possession that turned the tide of the game and the Lions would have at least been able to tie the game if not win the game had that fumble not happened. So even though the bills were leading in possessions, Detroit was able to flip it to where they were actually leading in possessions but that fumble by Sam Brown gave the possession lead back to the bills let's be honest neither team was playing much defense even the bills they weren't doing that much defense but they did have a big player two with the fumble with Sam Brown and a few sacks on Jared Goff and that was probably the difference in the game. But the game was 4842 and possessions were bills 12 in Detroit 11. So if you just look at it simple terms that fumble by Saint Brown basically cost the Lions the game and I'm sure there's a bunch of more crap that cost a lot of the game but if you just look at it in a simple terms if the lines would have kept that possession cuz that was a big play that same brown caught the pass for first down and then fumble the ball, that play they would have probably at least scored three but most likely they would have scored seven with how the offense was rolling at the end of the game. So in theory if the lines were the kept that drive going in Saint Brown didn't fumble the Lions probably the one the game by one point but nobody wants to look at it like that they just assume the bills just beat the Lions down, which they did at the beginning of the game but at the end of the game the Lions basically took over and the bills were just able to hang in there and respond after each Detroit score. But yeah same round in the phone with that ball Detroit would have even out the possession stop and probably won the game by a point. I'm not taking anything away from Buffalo but I just get tired of all these Sports media people coming and making it seem like Detroit just had no answer when both defenses basically had no answer because Detroit still put up 42 points and you can't call it garbage time when Detroit literally fought to the last minute and nearly got the onside kick
Tape don't lie
My guy you can watch all the film you want to we got 22 guys on IR 19 of these guys are on defense bro that’s damn near two starting lineups, like stop bro. I’m sorry yea we were never really out rod the game but dude that game was not 6pt game we never got a stop hit once so please stop and accept fate.
Dude ima hawks fan lol but yea the disrespect need to stop the lions are still a superbowl favorite even with the defense hurting 👊🏾🏈
@@BigR365 appreciate it
They are not being disrespected against, its true, they lost and they lost 3 more key players for the rest of the season and maybe even into the next, wait until they lose in Chicago, then talk disrespect, they may drop out if the top 10.
Your incompetence and comments are not welcome here ! U obviously are a bandwagoning douchbag
You are completely outside of your mind!!! The Lions could show up in Chicago and play this game without any of their starters and the Lions would still win the game by double digits!!!;
Aye💯
Lions are 4th because they have so many on the IR list. 25 people is the most in the NFL. They have no running game any more. No team has ever won the Superbowl with over 16 on the IR list. FACT.
Wow u have the best football IQ iv ever heard 😂😂😂😂.....if u can't intelligently speak on the lions or the nfl go do your homework first!!!
Lions have no team left they’re all hurt. And they just lost their top defensive player and running back after bills
Dey aint do dat to the bills when they lost to the rams but we loose to a sb contender n now we aint shit! Dese mfs move the goal post for the teams they want
Lions definitely dropped forsure.. do i still believe we can make it happen and reach the superbow yes is it going to be much harder ofcourse but if anyone is built for it, it's DETROIT.
Simple. Lions win last 3 by 1 point. Eagles blowout last 3 by 40 each. Who gets the 1 seed. Lions do. So these pundits rating philly get ready to explain how you have to flip them dispite philly winning out. You will look stupid.
Tape don’t lie!! Eagles are definitely going to SB!!!!
U are a genius! U should start a channel with Steven A Smith 😂😂😂
The only thing that definitely is going to happen is that they will implode before the end of the regular season is over. If you haven't noticed, they already have internal bitching and bickering between the receivers and your Junior Varsity Quarterback
They aint being disrespected bro they have over 20 people on IR, the defense will crumble against any team they face in the playoffs. Just unlucky with injuries.
Nothing new
I’m a 50 year plus Lions fan. Until they prove that defense is fixed they are overrated at 4.
The offense is so good it makes them the second best behind the Bills
@@BigR365 What? Defense doesn’t matter? It sure did against the Bills. The team we are currently most likely to play in the SB. IF we get past all of the other good teams in the NFC. You see that happening with the current defense. Even if some players on defense come back they surely won’t be in 100% football shape. In the playoffs o you only get one game at a time to get in shape.
