And there’s MUCH MORE going on in #Detroit – did you see the drones over the train station Thursday night?

What else do we need to know? What about the jersey color for Sunday night? Lions are going full “Blueberries”

Editors note (Big Jim):
- Let’s have fun with the Stafford/Goff thing please. I love that some local bars are placing a ban on wearing your Stafford jersey – but don’t get weird about it. We loved have Matt here – but it’s Goff’s team now and he’ll get our support without having to throw a beer at someone.
- Trying to imagine how loud Ford Field will be Sunday night is impossible. You could see the Vikings had trouble with the noise the entire game – I’m sure everyone’s going to be on edge from the time the doors open at 5:30pm (stop by the Elwood before the game for a quick beverage)
- I don’t think the moment is too big for this team. There’s going to be a lot said about Dan Campbell’s first playoff game, and the young guys never being in this situation. He’s built this team with grit, right? They’re battle tested (to quote Dan) and have you ever seen them back down from a fight? There’s a swagger to this team that reflects the Motor City.
- The game itself? Easiest thing to say…don’t turn the ball over. Well no sh*t. This really is a game of imposing your will on the Rams. The running game and offensive line are beasts – time to knock L.A. on their ass and put Stafford on the bench for 5-6 minutes at a time. And guess what? They can do it.
Okay, I’m going to go drink some Honolulu Blue kool-aid and run some laps. Go Lions!
