No matter how much Honolulu blue Kool-Aid you have been drinking, you probably realize deep down that the 2021 Detroit Lions are more likely than not going to lose a lot of football games this coming season.
But, is there actually some hope for the 2021 Lions?
Well, NFL analyst Mark Sessler of NFL.com recently published a list titled, “6 underdogs to believe in” and “The Dan Campbell Experience” made the cut.
Here is what Sessler has to say about the 2021 Detroit Lions.
3) The Dan Campbell Experience
Logic suggests the Lions are dirt-nap material in the NFC North. In a pass-obsessed league, Jared Goff is stuck flinging anti-darts to fellows like Breshad Perriman, Tyrell Williams and Geronimo Allison. Detroit is openly rebuilding and putting its faith in coach Dan Campbell. He’s eye-of-the-beholder content: Some will eat up his bro-ish soliloquies, others will pounce as the losses mount. Me? I can’t help but dig his fireside chats with the media.
Asked Tuesday to describe his roster, he thoughtfully responded: “There’s no turds here.” Last week he illuminated scribes with tales of his high-wattage java routine, which includes 80 ounces of coffee and four shots of espresso EVERY DAY. This is a medieval war zone in terms of gut health. I desire to text him and suggest a celery juice, yet Campbell appears uninterested in fielding GI tract tips from a 150-pound blogger who hasn’t lifted weights this decade. He does have my support in Detroit, though, where the Lions might finally have a plan.
