Now, I’m not here to judge because I was also mad as hell on Thanksgiving, but the truth is the Lions’ window is just starting to open. The team is packed with very young talent and by all accounts, no one thought we would be 8-3 at this point two years ago.
This isn’t a reason to be passive or rest on laurels, and the team definitely needs to identify points of weakness and address them, but I’d much rather be sitting at the start of the window opening the when its closing.

100% agree. I’ve always thought (and still kinda do) that our championship window opens the 2025 season. We’re only year 3 of the Holmes/Campbell regime and while the rebuild is certainly ahead of schedule, there are still significant talent defecits to be addressed still.
I think we have a fun, exciting and inspiring team. However, given the talent on defense, I think it’s difficult to say we’re better than the Niners or Eagles. We’re gonna get to the playoffs and anything can happen, but realistically we need more talent and depth in a number of position groups.
