    Weird to hate the Lions as much as you do and I have a strong bias against teams from Michigan.

    Dan Campbell needs to have an alcoholic son on staff that almost kills two kids while driving impaired before the SuperBowl to make the franchise less of a joke IMO.

    Fwiw I do have a soft spot for the Lions as a few of my closest friends are Lion fans, and we are actively discussing them and the show. The staff is likable and entertaining, but we’ve agreed that the football product - especially defense - is ass.

    Show has never held my interest less. Seems like a coaching staff full of Rah Rah guys. They are going to lose a lot of games.

    Makes me respect Matthew Stanford a little bit more for enduring that organization for all those years and handling it with class.

    i missed the premiere but i'm surprised at how little focus there's been on Goff as starting QB and Sewell as best young player. feels like some of the position coaches have have had more camera time.

    Just watched episode three. Duce Staley lost his voice because he yells so goddamn much and then sounded like Mickey Mouse when he was motherfucking the RBs during the joint practices. I loled.

    Do you think it bothers Duce Staley that he isn’t even the best athlete/coach in his family? And that he lost out to his sister?

    I've read/seen a lot of people talk about how Goff is barely on the show like it's a problem and I'm confused. He's been on Hard Knocks twice already and is one of the most boring people in the league. There's nothing there to talk about, so I'm glad they've just ignored him.

    I'm also guessing Sewell has been mic'd up once or twice, too. If he was interesting, he'd be on more. The coaches are on more because they're more interesting. Everyone knew that going in, and it's why HBO was happy about the Lions doing it from the start.

    It's kind of absurd that all those RBs stood there and listened to him with a straight face while he was yelling like that. None of them laughing at him in that moment is the most impressive thing anyone has done on the show through three episodes.
