Way back in Week 1 Sylvester Williams Jersey White , when we first saw a glimpse of the devastation that may lay ahead, I mentioned my misguided teenage years, when I relied on upon the likes of Staind and Limp Bizkit to carry me through my angsty phase. Since then, I’ve “grown up” to appreciate a little more reasonable and thoughtful artists whose expression of emotion runs deeper than the sounds of Jonathan Davis making guttural noises. But the Detroit Lions have regressed to a level we had hoped they had grown out of forever. They’re 3-6, their season is over before Thanksgiving, and they’re headed towards a top-five draft pick. And so much like my football team, I am relapsing to a much darker time.Lions-Bears Week 10 Song of the Game: “Falling Away from Me” by KornHey, I’m feeling tiredMy time has gone todayWhile the not-so-subtle suicidal overtones of this song are way too over-dramatic for the occasion, the hopelessness in the lyrics properly convey where this Lions fanbase is currently at right now. While most realistic fans knew this team was going to struggle out of the game Ricky Jean Francois Jersey , not many thought the team would actually regress as the season went on—especially after a legitimately impressive win on the road in Miami. But Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears sucked out any last hope of a 2018 turnaround, and the season is over. Beating me downBeating me, beating meDown, downInto the groundI try to pride myself on being the fan that can look at the big picture and remain hopeful for the future. The Golden Tate trade tested me, this game broke me. I’ll never be the kind of person to call for a one-and-done stint as a head coach. I honestly believe that continuity in the coaching staff is absolutely the key to success. But as I watch the Chicago Bears turn it around in the midst of an inaugural season with a new, inventive head coach that actually inspires confidence, it’s hard for me to look back at Matt Patricia and see someone that beams optimism. And then Patricia comes out Monday morning and says something as nonsensical as this... ... and I can’t help but wonder if Patricia is best served as a coordinator.I can’t always say”It’s gonna be better tomorrow”Falling away from meFalling away from meMaybe once Patricia gets a roster full of players he actually wants and a full coaching staff that falls in line with his thinking, we’ll see that general manager Bob Quinn made the right hire. But I’ve already lost a lot of confidence in the man, and that absolutely should not happen this early in his coaching career. Each week http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-jalen-reeves-maybin-jersey , we’ll use a song to describe our feeling or the Lions’ performance from the previous game. At the end of the year, we’ll have a complete Spotify playlist telling the story of the Lions’ 2018 season. You can check out the 2017 playlist here, and our explanations for our choices here. This year’s selections are in the Spotify list below.Notes: Jace Billingsley signing to New England Patriots’ practice squad While no Detroit Lions players that were waived or cut this weekend have found their way onto a 53-man roster as of Monday afternoon, a handful of players have jumped to other teams’ practice squads.The latest is former Lions receiver Jace Billingsley, who has reportedly signed with the New England Patriots.For the past two years, Billingsley has spent most of his time on the Lions’ practice squad after failing to make the team in back-to-back years. He was waived again this offseason, but there was no indication if the Lions wanted him back this time. ESPN’s Mike Reese seems to suggest Detroit tried to get him back, noting that Billingsley “could have returned” but saw New England “as better opportunity.”Considering the Lions kept six wide receivers on the roster this year, including undrafted rookie Brandon Powell Womens Danny Amendola Jersey , it certainly makes sense on Billingsley’s end. In New England, he has a shot to be promoted to their regular roster at any time. With Julian Edelman serving a four-game suspension to start the year and New England dealing with a couple of injuries, Billingsley could be a good fit there. However, the Patriots were also awarded two receivers off waivers this weekend—Chad Hansen and Amara Darboh—who will offer some serious competition to Billingsley. It had been the least-kept secret, but the Detroit Lions will officially be facing off against Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold: The Athletic has a great piece on new Lions linebacker Marquis Flowers and how Matt Patricia used him during the 2017 AFC divisional playoff game against the Titans. In case you were wondering if the Lions made waiver claims on guys like Mario Edwards or Carl Davis... they did not: Jeff Risdon of Lions Wire has a nice, short profile on the newest Lions cornerback Dee Virgin. This has to be a good sign for the upcoming season, right? Bleacher Report’s Maurice Moton thinks the Detroit Lions are one the biggest sleeper teams this year and believes they deserve more respect.
