Detroit Lions players react to win over New England Patriots: ‘Damn that felt good’ The Detroit Lions picked up an emotional win on Sunday night and you could tell the players were fired up about it. Not only was it important for the team to avoid the chasm of a 0-3 start

It was big for him and you could see it in his face.”But it was fun for the players, and as 20-somethings are want to do, they took to social media after the game to celebrate a little late night/early morning Victory Monday.First, the always talkative Golden Tate:Punters are people, too

Onto the secondary. First, there’s Darius Slay who picked up his first interception of the season: ... and DeShawn Shead, who was picked back up by the Lions this week despite getting released in Detroit’s final round of cuts: Finally, there was the man of the hour

The Lions running back put Detroit’s 100-yard rusher drought to an end on Sunday night, and he got some praise from the GOAT after the game.But back to Marvin Jones for a minute, because for as fun as Sunday night was, the celebration can only last so long. In six days the Lions must head to Texas for the Dallas Cowboys, and the preparation starts now.“We’re excited and we’ll celebrate this one today, but tomorrow we look at it and we flush it,” Jones said. “So we’re onto the Cowboys.”And just like that, we’re onto Week 4.Friday open thread: Do you feel better

The Detroit Lions were downed by the Browns on Thursday night after yet another uninspiring performance. Of course, all of the team’s starters sat for Detroit, leaving head coach Matt Patricia with a chance to evaluate some of his roster bubble players just a couple days before he and general manager Bob Quinn must make some tough cuts. And the result was a pretty horrible performance. The Lions were down 25-0 at halftime and though it got a little better in the second half, it was still a pretty embarrassing performance. Combine it with the first three games in the Lions preseason, and it doesn’t exactly paint a pretty picture. So with the preseason now officially over, today’s Question of the Day is:Do you feel better, worse or the same after the Lions’ preseason loss to the Browns?My answer: The same. Despite another disappointing performance, the final preseason game will have absolutely no resemblance to what the team will look like even in Week 1. Almost all of these players won’t be on the roster come Monday

It’s not fun watching these Lions players get overmatched every week of the season, and I will openly admit it’s hard to fight the pessimism for Matt Patricia’s inaugural preseason, but it’s imperative to remember that we’ve only seen this team play for eight possessions with its starting quarterback. Things will look completely different when Matthew Stafford is out there, both offensively and defensively. It’s not all going to come together right away, and there are probably going to be some serious kinks to work out early on, but Thursday’s performance hasn’t changed my mind on much of anything regarding what this team will look like in 2018... other then the fact that their depth probably wasn’t as good as I thought.Your turn.
