Are you buying the Lions hype this season?

Do you think the hype surrounding the Detroit Lions is warranted? Do you have any expectations for Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets? What team enters the season under the most pressure? Will the Kansas City Chiefs three-peat as Super Bowl champions? Bryan Hayes joins SC with Jay Onrait to answer all those questions in the latest edition of his Harvey's Hot Takes.

[@derekharp2805]

I love how these guys and their persistence about Goff. "He's a pretty good QB". It's insane, they will never admit they were wrong.

[@andrewd1872]

Doesn't matter what Goff has done they will always find a weakness to exploit especially when they say he turns thr ball over when rushed constantly which I'll admit during the regular season last year yes 13 of 17 turnovers came when he was being rushed however in the nfc title game and the whole playoff run last year it was completely opposite!! We were 30 min away from a super bowl and it comes down to what they did to improve on the 55 rating they got as a coverage Defense last year which is horrendously disgusting and even with an avg cover Defense they make the super bowl last year and potentially win it!! So what did they do? Terrible Arnold Ennis rakestraw Jr, Carlton Davis, amik Robertson!! Not to mention our safeties branch, Joseph, and improved the rush up front changes that 55 from last year to a low 70 ceiling 88 avg cover Defense which will determine if we can make that deep run and keep going!!

[@JamCooper]

I'm convinced that anyone who parrots the narrative of Dan Campbell's "gambles" hurting the Lions in the NFCCG didn't actually watch the game. The Lions weren't stopping the 9ers in the 2nd half whether they punted or not. Reynolds dropped a ball that hit him in the hands on 4th down, he dropped a ball that hit him in the chest on 3rd and 10, Gibbs fumbled in 49ers territory, and Vildor has a pass bounce off his face right into the 49ers WR's hands. All of those things mattered more to the outcome of that game than whatever you can think of that you'd call a "gamble".

[@brandonbaty2291]

Exactly.

[@andrewd1872]

That's the way he coaches he was that aggressive all year and yes I was a little upset about the gambles especially in the title game which on 2 separate 4th down plays you got to take the points with especially in that type of situation and the kind of coverage Defense we were sending out last year! However! I don't want him to change anything what him Brad Holmes and the rest of the staff are doing rn!! We were an average cover Defense away from going to and beating the chiefs last year in the super bowl!! 30 minutes away!! It was there for the taking However when your cover Defense has a coverage rating of 52.5 the whole season that was the difference in saying we were 30 minutes away to we atleast made a sp appearance!! I think using your 1st 2nd round picks on corners signing 2 vet cbs and adding depth and talent to the d line that 52 is atleast 70 to 88avg

I'm now 42 years old so 35 years of pain, heartbreaks and aches from watching this team has me saying now it was soooo worth it watching them do what I believe their about to become!! I'm not saying what just saying this team past 2 3 years up to this year!! They are different! They are ready! One Pride and Grit baby! Kneecaps and bitchslaps! Lol let's go!

same question that was asked last year, and they proved they were. recycling narratives is boring af

[@MrAirZone25]

idk why people doubt the Lions. its not like they went 12-5 after going 3-14 last season. Like last season came out of no where. Every year Dan has been the HC they have gotten better and you can see that on their record for the past 3 years.

Not buying anything but what I've been waiting for 37 years!! It's here now! Past 3 years going into this one I've closely watched for the previous 34 and never seen what they've been doing under the radar so to speak but this team this year will be different...they are ready, I'm ready!!

The year of the Lion ! 🏈👍💙

[@Roy-mw5js]

He didn't gamble against the Niners. They dropped at least 2 crucial passes that would have extended drives. Gibbs fumbled in his own zone. Nothing done by Campbell or Goff lost the Niners game.

[@leeca98]

Give Jared 5 seconds to do his job each play and this team should be very happy. Rams screwed him short term, but this just might be his season to come out a Super Bowl Champion and finish up with the best deal in the long run.

[@DetroitLionsDynasty]

He doesn’t even need 5 seconds. He gets his throws out on average in less than 3 seconds.

[@wattsinc.]

The oline is top3 yes but 5 seconds per play is asking alot

[@mikebradt8080]

Nick sirianni in my opinion has the most pressure given the talent they have. They completely fell apart last yr and I think they didn't have any serious injuries that caused the collapse. But I don't seriously follow them enough to remember such an injury. Their GM is amazing and he did it again this past off season in the draft and FA market. They should be in he NFC championship game, but can Sirianni get the focused again?

[@user-yg5yw9dq6p]

Yes. This is the year. Could have been last year, but the team just wasn’t ready. The Lions are ready now.

Saleh's career got absolutely wrecked through pure bad luck. Got saddled with Aaron Rodgers to play the role of Jesus and save the whole franchise, and who's done literally nothing but get injured and play amateur GM badly. He's never had a chance to create his own offense or fill his own roster, and now everyone thinks he's a crap coach because he can't win with Zach Wilson, as if anyone else could. Hope he gets a real chance somewhere else.

[@CustosDropKickz]

You think Jared goof is a pretty good QB!!!!! Shut your mouth and just say it! He is elite! He will shut everyone’s mouth this year and will prove it with a MVP

[@bipolarpunt5721]

Goff has been disrespected for yrs. I think he thrives on it, gives him some bulletin board material

[@chrisstockwell9235]

Any above average QB should have a MVP type season with this lions organization, what doesn't he have? Great hc, oc, oline, complimentary rbs, wo's, te's, the only real issue is trying to figure out fantasy picks, week to week someone different is gonna get featured, Goff maybe the only one putting up consistent numbers.
