I love it. If you go to every NFL Monday morning sports show on KZbin, you'll find us Lions fans just sitting there in the comments basking in the glow of having a dominant team for the first time in our lifetime. Try it. Every. Single. One. 😀

Johnson may stay with his Lions?

[@jeremykeyes2018]

Ben Johnson has had his pick of coaching jobs for two years. IMO he doesn’t want to leave. To uproot his family. I think he likes coaching just offense and literally loves being here

[@RedWingsninetyone]

I think him leaving will entirely depend on the result of the season.

[@GulNadar]

Not all NFL jobs are equal. The biggest difference is Johnson knows not to chase money. My biggest worry for the Lions is a playoff team firing their head coach because expectations were not met. He's not leaving for the Jets, Giants, or any other team with crap ownership.

[@kurtwicklund8901]

I don’t see why Glenn would stay, Detroit been calling for his head since the NFC title game

[@xximjasonxx]

@@detroitgagt I don't think he will, especially with the saints job opening. Ben I think is more cautious, might just want to call plays

Act like Goff wasn't already good. Number one draft pick, been to a Superbowl before coming to the Lions. He's has gotten better as any great player would. Yes the Lions coaches are great but don't act like Goff wasn't already a winner. Now he's going to get his Superbowl and still won't be in the top tier even though his numbers prove he's the best. C'mon man. Goff is Mvp

Ben Johnson gonna go where he can get the best oline. Oh, that's Detroit!

I think Detroit gives Johnson a pay bump, and he stays. He literally has it easy in Detroit. Loved by the fanbase, call plays for a historic offense, make millions of dollars, and compete for a championship, or go go to new team and be responsible for rebuilding a team and risk of being fired?

[@NA-bi2ly]

[@dajuantinsley5970]

If Ben didn’t leave with Matt Patricia , he’s not about to leave with Campbell who gave him a bigger role.

[@shashanksubramaniam1400]

Ben said he would’ve left last year if the bears would’ve fired their head coach. He’s being smart about choosing the right role. Not to mention, Ben worked with Campbell back during Campbell’s dolphins days so there’s a much deeper familiarity with Campbell than there was with Patricia

[@puppethound]

Don't Jinx them. Yes, they are flying high for sure, but as a Vikings fan, we have had some juggarnaut teams during the regular season, only to watch them NOT show up in the playoffs, when it all matters, then you are left cursing the same team you you THOUGHT was unstoppable and calling for heads to roll. Welcome to the OTHER side my friend, it can be bittersweet. Stay humble

[@a.larson2777]

​@puppethound Agree. As a lifelong Rams fan, I know what you're saying.

[@Harpazoed]

Ben Johnson and Dan and AG are still learning. They all will get better and better. I thought Mike was a Vikings fan? NFC North is the best division. Billy B would be a great coach for the Jags. He will have a lot to work with. We have to many injuries on defense.

[@theshogunblaze3656]

Florio is such a drama king lol. Complaining about Ws

[@ODamWTF]

Not a lions fan but yall better blast The Ciiiiiiiiircllleee of lifeeeee if you win it all.

[@RichardStanczak]

I disagree with you guys about Ben Johnson’s choice of teams. What will be more important to Ben (and he has said this at different times in Detroit) is the owner and GM that he will be working with. Ben values relationships and collaboration. If he doesn’t respect who he would be working for, he won’t take the job. I honestly don’t know enough about most other owners to judge them in this respect, but I don’t think that Carolina (I know, not an option now, but why he turned them down before), Chicago, or Dallas would be suitable for him. Just my opinion as a long time Lions fan.

[@securitychiefodo9382]

Lions have some insane 3 game short rest games coming up fast.

[@troyclaerhout2412]

I doubt Ben Johnson would leave for Jacksonville but I think a sneaky good hire could be Mark Brunell. I think he's a big reason Goff has played so well and his history with Jacksonville with him having a hand in this Lions offense as well. I think the Jags would be lucky to snag him.

[@southviewarab]

Trevor Lawrence has been living solely off of his college hype for years now, the media hates to love Goff, ironically that makes the fans appreciate him even more.

[@generalbrown2972]

The Lions started benching starters at the beginning of the 4th Qtr. Changed out offensive lineman as well but if that’s all you can criticize them for then also criticize the other team for not stopping them.

[@reggier2343]

The Lions are killing it and these guys are already predicting our downfall by guessing where our OC and DC are going to go next year. Maybe they would want to stay and build this dynasty!!!

[@puppethound]

As a Vikings follower, I will never complain about a winning team, you are a fraud if you do, no one should say "I hate the way my team wins", you just sound dumb, sorry, but not sorry. I remember 98 like it was yesterday as well, the Vikings had the highest scoring offense in the history of the NFL at the time, the best kicker who hadn't missed all year, how did that work out for us fans? 8-2 is still 8-2. The North will run it this year.

[@darkempire2022]

True GRIT!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@tomfrattarelli1365]

Big difference between a head coach and an offensive coordinator. Head coach doesn’t call plays. Johnson stays in Detroit because he loves to call plays.

[@TheAdamisgay]

You can only dress 46/47 guys on gameday. You physically cannot take every starter out. The inactives rule is asinine.

[@robertveeneman9229]

I think the Lions should pay Ben Johnson like a head coach to stay as their OC. I am probably one of the few with this stance, but doesn't it make sense? I have no idea if he wants the a HC, maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. I would try to keep him, but also be proud of what he did for us if he moves on.

[@Pait728]

Why are you guys spending so much time talking about where Ben Johnson goes after this season when there's still so much to talk about with this season

[@tigerhoods7927]

Yeah the Jags are bad but I think it says more about the Lions given it was a beatdown the likes of which we haven’t seen in a while

[@josh0833]

KOC is nowhere near Ben Johnson in play calling. Neither is Shannahan. Neither of those guys could have done what Ben Johnson has done with this offense. He’s in a league of his own.

The doubt and criticism of the Lions (Florio) will not end until the deal is sealed.

[@mjk-th2tm]

Florio is right, what’s the point of getting excited over the Vikings if you know they can’t win in the playoffs? They’ll get a Wild Card spot and lose first round. What is so special about that? I’ve seen that for the last 30 years. Super Bowl team without a QB at this point. If they had a top 10 QB they might be the best team in the NFL, but they don’t and they aren’t.

[@ChadMarlatt]

Yes it's scientifically true. Jaguars have the strongest bite of any cat, not sure about body strength, but Lions might have the edge there. lol

Without Tom Brady, Belichick is an NFL head coach with an under .500 winning percentage. And if he's so good, how is it New England became one of the very worst teams in the league while he was there? At the end, the Pats were a mess - and they're still trying to recover. BB wasn't asked to vacate New England for no good reason.

[@RedWingsninetyone]

They both made each other better. Brady was ok at Michigan and there was a reason he wasn't picked high. Brady doesn't become the QB he was without Belichick's assistance and development.

[@puppethound]

@@RedWingsninetyone no, he wasn't the athlete scouts wanted to see, the same scouts that thought the "Brady Six" was better than him. Oh and um Brady was good at Michigan. He was and still is a winner, he knows nothing else. Brady left and took an average Buccs team to the SB while Belichick's Pats fell apart until he was asked politely to step down to avoid being fired.

[@RedWingsninetyone]

@@puppethound correct, that's how that works. Brady was still a 6th round pick and needed to develop for a few years. He was lightly regarded even before the combine. Brady was further developed by Belichick and would never become the QB he became without that. He didn't magically lose that development without Belichick, but he certainly got it with him.
