I do not think the Jared Goff chants will simply go away, for those hoping. For most, it's a default. It can't be removed, only replaced. That replacement has to come externally. Introduced.

If #Pistons, #RedWings, and #Tigers fans don't lock in, the Goff chants WILL come back.

On SideLion Report earlier this week, I wrote about how the #Lions issues right now were more than just injuries. I would've had a lot more to say had I wrote this today, though. #OnePride

Injuries are an issue, but it can't be the excuse for this season
Yes, the Lions are banged up, but injuries are just one problem among many.

I'm going to watch Stranger Things tonight, but absolutely nothing in those three episodes will terrify me, anger me, shock me, and break my heart more than what I saw from the #Lions tonight. #OnePride

I promise I will forgive everything I saw in this game if the #Lions steal a win here. Just please do it. #OnePride

Honestly, put Frank Ragnow in the Hall of Fame right now. He may have actually been the GOAT. #OnePride

On SideLion Report: Look, I do love the monochrome/matching uniform look, but whatever supernatural powers it's given the #Lions in the past have fizzled out. The team should have fun with different color combinations next season. #DetroitLions #OnePride

It's time for the Lions to retire this tired modern day tradition
The Lions no longer play well in the blueberries, which means it's time to explore new uniform combinations.

On SideLion Report: Injuries greatly impacted the #Lions season, no doubt, but there's more to this 8-7 record than injuries. Injuries can be a reason, but they can't be the only reason for the team's shortcomings. #DetroitLions #OnePride

I remember the "Matthew Stafford can't win a playoff game" era of #Lions fan discourse.

Very similar to right now with Jared Goff, except I have yet to see someone suggest we trade Goff for former playoff game winner Marcus Mariota. But it's early. #OnePride

On SideLion Report: #Lions QB Jared Goff gifted his offensive line golf carts for Christmas. After Sunday's loss vs. #Steelers, maybe he should ask for them back. #DetroitLions #OnePride

Jared Goff needs to ask his OL for his Christmas gifts back after Steelers loss
Jared Goff gifted his offensive line golf carts for Christmas, which they may soon be getting a lot of use for.

Jahmyr Gibbs with a TD. #Lions are 8-0 when he scores. 0-6 when he doesn't. #OnePride

Reminder: The Lions have a losing record this season when they have more rest days than their opponents, as I explained on SideLion Report #OnePride   

sidelionreport.com/more-rest-da...
More rest days than an opponent should be an advantage - unless you're the Lions
Lions need all the rest they can get, but their generous rest schedule hasn't translated to wins.

With that TD pass, Jared Goff has now thrown one against all 32 teams. It's also his third straight 30-TD season. #OnePride

On SideLion Report: When he was a rookie in 2022, #Lions EDGE Aidan Hutchinson looked elite against then-Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers and Hutchinson both spoke about their former divisional rival before they face off again. #DetroitLions #OnePride

Aaron Rodgers offers shockingly kind words for former NFC North foe
It's been three years since QB Aaron Rodgers last played the Lions, but he hasn't forgotten about Aidan Hutchinson.

The #Pistons are 16-1 when Duncan Robinson shoots .400+ from three. 1-3 when he shoots .250 or below.

On SideLion Report: With a win on Sunday vs. the #Steelers, #Lions QB Jared Goff will have beaten 30/32 NFL franchises in his career. He won't have to wait long to face the other two teams. #DetroitLions #OnePride

Jared Goff can move one step closer to NFL history with a win vs. Steelers
A win over the Steelers would give Jared Goff victories over 30 different franchises. How soon can he defeat the other two?
