Inside the Pride - Lions Finish Strong
Didn't watch a full episode of Inside the Pride all year because, you know, the Lions. And then a bad 1-6 start became 8-2 down the stretch and the Lions grew into a team really fun to watch and root for.
So here's 20 min of content I highly recommend sometime over the next 6 mo. before Fall camp starts :
- Excellent quality video recap from Lambeau
- Nice interviews with Hutch & GM Holmes
- Dannie Rogers is really easy on the eyes - and is still single apparently...

Ugh, sorry, no Hutch interview. That was on a different video...
January 12th, 2023 at 11:01 AM ^
They show Hutch's Lambeau leap and Dannie is a UofM grad, so not totally OT...
January 12th, 2023 at 11:26 AM ^
They did WHAT inside WHO now?
January 12th, 2023 at 11:26 AM ^
Strikes me as more than a little RCMB to make one-third of your bullet points summarizing the content that the host is nice to look at.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:29 AM ^
it's more Florida Man than RCMB I think
January 12th, 2023 at 11:52 AM ^
Or it's ridiculous that someone cannot make a passing comment about someone attractive these days.
OP didn't post bewbs.
OP wasn't crass.
Using milk-n-steak's ahem, logic, I guess my wife is a sparty too because she watches S.W.A.T. to admire Shemar Moore
January 12th, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
Or it's ridiculous that someone can't make a passing comment offering up some healthy feedback without someone breaking down in tears on the internet these days.
OP2 wasn't crass.
Using I'mTheStig's logic, I guess my wife is a sparty too because she watches Schitt's Creek.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:30 PM ^
*** TRIGGER WARNING ***
Dannie Rogers makes a suggestive comment at 16:08.
To protect your easily offended sensibilities, you probably shouldn't watch the video.
You're welcome.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
I always do find it interesting that when someone calls out even mild misogyny, that those upset by this observation are often much more offended (and with the reactions to match) than those accused of being easily offended.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:46 PM ^
Yeah, but that's probably more the exception than the rule
January 12th, 2023 at 2:04 PM ^
Misogyny is the fear or mistrust of women.
How is saying someone is easy on the eyes that?
Also, me saying something is ridiculous is NOT the same as me being offended.
Your grasp of the English language is concerning.
January 12th, 2023 at 6:55 PM ^
This definition does not agree with you.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/misogyny
: hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against women
You are thinking of gynyophobia which is not a word.
January 12th, 2023 at 7:54 PM ^
gynyophobia
I have no idea what the heck you are talking about.
We're all dumber for having read that, I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.
January 12th, 2023 at 10:11 PM ^
I bet that quote really kills at the clinic when you're selling plasma for more meth money.
January 12th, 2023 at 10:45 PM ^
You can fucking blow me prick.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:41 PM ^
I did see the show and will just go ahead and say that I thoroughly enjoyed it and that roughly one-third of my enjoyment is that not only is the host excellent she is also smoking fucking hot.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:26 PM ^
I think phrasing your comment to say 1/3 makes it sounds worse than it is and that is more than a little RCMB #Bluewall
January 12th, 2023 at 11:28 AM ^
Not a Lions fan at all but hope the day comes when you all can have a shot at a title and a consistently good team.
Imagine a Super Bowl between the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions...........
January 12th, 2023 at 11:44 AM ^
A Browns-Lions Super Bowl? I feel like I read about that somewhere along the way....
Oh yeah! Book of Revelation!
Seriously, if a Browns-Lions Super Bowl ever happens, time to get your affairs in order because that damn sure means the world is coming to an end.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:04 PM ^
Browns Vs. Lions would be a sure sign of the Apocalypse.
January 12th, 2023 at 2:51 PM ^
Browns vs. Lions for the NFL Championship is a sure sign that the world has reverted to the ‘50s, when Bobby Layne roamed Briggs Field and the Lion played the Browns numerous times for the title.

For this upcoming draft, from my less than cursory fandom, the Lion offense is fine. Please, please (consider this begging) use nearly every draft pick this year on Defense.
The only exception: if you can draft Stetson Bennett in a late draft position (5, 6 or 7), I'm all for it. The old man is a gamer.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:31 PM ^
I wouldn't be surprised if Bennett turned out to be one of the steals in the draft—I think he's a much better QB than most people seem to think.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
I think he is an interesting pick. Maybe some Brady like qualities. Some projections in fact are round 6.
Playing for such a good team on such a public stage two years in a row will keep him from dropping to much but yes he could really be a great value pick if he is available in the mid rounds.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:15 PM ^
He'd make a great backup QB and the Lions don't have any on the roster since Sudfeld's contract expires immediately.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:27 PM ^
and he can learn a lot from Goff, who is only a year or two his senior
January 12th, 2023 at 1:49 PM ^
Crazy that he was a walk-on
January 12th, 2023 at 2:17 PM ^
All defense, all the time! But I'd be okay if Bryce Young were somehow available at 18, or in the second round.
LMAO!!! I can daydream, right?
January 12th, 2023 at 11:42 AM ^
Crazy things about the '22 Lions (that we're not used to seeing in Detroit):
- 5th ranked scoring offense in the league -- Lions are ahead of 10 other playoff teams in this regard.
- Led the league in games scoring 30 points or more.
- Goff was #6 in passing yards, #7 in average, tied for 5th in TDs, #2 in fewest sacks among starters.
- The Lions' first round bust was #20 among ALL players in sacks -- #14 among those on the DL, and #1 among DL players in interceptions.
- Jamaal Williams was #2 in the league in TDs.
- The Lions record could very easily be 14 - 3; lost winnable games against:
- Eagles -3
- Vikings -4
- Seahawks -3
- Dolphins -4
- Bills -3
January 12th, 2023 at 11:45 AM ^
Amazing stats. Hopefully they can keep the offensive coordinator and get things going with Jameson Williams. Phenomenal year by the rookies, especially Hutchinson. He did so well even the haters had to admit he was a great player.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:48 AM ^
Funny that Staee was criticizing arm length and Hutch gets 3 INTs playing on the D line. Not sure I've seen anything like that before.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:27 PM ^
That is really crazy. He could have a 14 year hall of fame career and not get another 3 picks.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:52 AM ^
And how many losable games did they win? How many one score games ended up going their way? Only beat the Jets by 3, the Bears by 1, and Packers by 6 and 4 points, respectively.
For the record, not at all trying to poo poo on your last point. The Lions are a good team, and lost by a combined six points to the two teams that a ton of people are expecting to meet in the Super Bowl (Eagles-Bills). They're trending in the right direction, to say the least.
I just never like that argument of "We could've easily had X or Y record." Because it could've just as easily gone the other way. The Lions could've also easily lost those extra four games, got swept by the Packers, end up setting up at 5-12 for the year, and then everyone starts crowing "Same ol' Lions," thinking nothing has changed.
Unless all of your losses were close and your wins were convincing and never much in doubt, I don't find a lot of merit in that argument of "We could've easily had this record this year," because you could've also easily had a worse record than you do as well.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:56 AM ^
It's not so much "whataboutism"; it's noting that the product on the field was generally decent and those games were about preventable mistakes and/or missed opportunities.
Which is not something we're accustomed to seeing in Detroit.
Rather this Detroit team has the ability to hang with the best... my intent wasn't to fucking nitpick a +1 win or a -3 loss.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:11 PM ^
Again, I'm not at all disagreeing with you that the Lions were/are a good team. The product was very good in the latter half of the year and every Lions fan has justifiable reason to be excited for next year. Real, tangible progress has been made. They lost by a combined six points to the two teams that I expect to be in the Super Bowl.
All I'm saying is that if you want to say "Hey, we only lost these five games by four points or less," then I think its also a valid point to come back and say "Okay, sure, but you also won four other games by less than a TD as well."
Not trying to troll. Not a Packers, Vikings or Bears fan. I'm just saying the law of averages kind of worked itself out here. You split your one score games roughly down the middle. You can say the Lions could very easily be 14-3, but by the same token, they could also very easily have lost some of those close games that they did win as well and ended up 5-12 or 6-11. Unlucky bounces, bad calls, anything could've happened.
I'm sure I'll be downvoted and labeled as a pessimist or a troll. That's fine, but I'm not intending to be. I'm just saying that I look at both sides of that "We could've easily had this or that record" argument. All that to say, I'm rooting for the Lions next year. They should, more than anyone else, finally get to know what success in the NFL feels like.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:30 PM ^
OSU fans were crazy talking about those 5 plays being the reason why they lost and they were a better team.
Also TCU won because of 5 plays and we were the better team.
January 14th, 2023 at 9:39 AM ^
when the five plays involve shooting yourself in the foot vs the other team running over you, I think it's applicable.
January 12th, 2023 at 7:58 PM ^
I'm just saying the law of averages kind of worked itself out here
Yeah, just like Minnesota winning all those 1 score games.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:57 AM ^
Such a pessimist. The Lions would have made the Super Bowl but for the refs and all we hear is that they could have done worse.
Looking forward to a weekend of playoffs knowing that the Honolulu Blue and Silver should be on the screen.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:26 PM ^
The Lions laid 2 eggs, vs. NE (29-0) and Dal (24-6). Take out those 2 games and the average score in their losses was 35-30. In their wins? 30-18. Most of their wins were convincing and most of their losses were in doubt until the end. Even with the 47 point differential in the NE and Dal games, the Lions still outscored opponents 453-427, the only North team with a plus margin and 4th best overall in the NFC.
Meanwhile, the Vikings were 12-0 in one-score games and were outscored 424-427 on the season. Their average loss was 35-12.5.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:32 PM ^
Carolina's score was better than those 2 but I think it's fair to say the Lions shit the bed in that one too.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:31 PM ^
So take out the two games they got hammered and they never got hammered. Excellent!
January 12th, 2023 at 12:54 PM ^
I am thrilled that they did exceed expectations. Next year’s schedule will be tougher in theory than this year’s, so they’ll need to keep it wired tight.
As Marty Mornigwheg famously said, “The bar is high”.
January 12th, 2023 at 2:14 PM ^
The Cowboys, if it hadn't been for the 5 or so turnovers might have been a win. Wow, no wonder these guys finished the season 8-2 😀😼
January 12th, 2023 at 3:22 PM ^
If your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle too.
January 12th, 2023 at 2:18 PM ^
I have seen that the Lions led the league in some offensive categories that they haven't since the 1950's IMHO, this is a sign that things are trending up for them.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:42 PM ^
I will pouring myself a huge glass of Honolulu blue kool-aid after another great draft by Brad "The brain" Holmes.
January 12th, 2023 at 2:15 PM ^
'The brawn' fits too, have you seen him lately? Looks like he's been hanging out with MCDC...
January 12th, 2023 at 2:06 PM ^
The Lions looked like a Top 5 team at the end of the season. If they can improve the defense just a bit and Jamo gets his head on straight, we win the division in 2023.
