1. DAMN, brad sounds like DMo doesnt have a chance at being on the lions in 26 season 😢😢

2. Brad pls throw everything at Mike McDaniel to convince him to go to Detroit. He'll take the offense to another level. It would be SO FUN to watch with all our weapons 😮‍💨

3. We will look at everything but nothing will change .that makes a lot of sense

4. We went backwards in 2025. It starts with GM Brad Holmes and Coach Campbell. Let's see what happens.

5. Someone needs to tell him he says uhh and um way to freaking much

6. I'd remember the exact day Frank Ragnow told me he was going to retire. Hearing BH guessing when he was told is amazing to me. (and I'm a BH fanboy!) Let's hope this off-season goes well!!

7. SMUGNESS GONE…………FINALLY

8. Every time BH says 'Look', take a drink……

9. Reporters did terrible follow-up questions. When BH said there are things he can do better someone should have asked him, "what are some of the things you feel you can better at? Then did a follow-up to his response.

10. Go get Mike McDaniel!!!

11. I dont like the reach comment in the draft when you have traded picks reaching for guys who were well known projects to the public. On top of that, they havent worked out!
    I would like to see him not trade up for a project player. If he trades up and misses on someone who has tape that backs why they were taken, thats ok. But when you trade up and whiff on a dude who played against school kids and has virtually no tape to back it up then you continue to flop on these, its hard to sustain success if you keep whiffing like this.

12. Check the tape: when D-Mo gets touched in meaningful snaps, the offense moves the ball consistently & NEVER had a 3 & out.
    When Gibbs gets all the snaps, the offense gets more 3 & outs than almost any other team.

13. Please get a Center to play Center and Not a Guard! Tate is not an option! He is a guard!!!!!

14. Thankful for this season, honestly. This team kinda needed a slice of humble pie to get back to where we were. Sometimes you need some adversity to get back to the top.

15. Offensive Coordinator Frank Ragnow

16. We did pretty good against the run this year till Brian Branch got hurt.. him and Jack are monsters working together stopping the run.

17. FIRE HIM PLEASE! SMARTEST GUY IN THE ROOM ISN'T WORKING BRADLEY…..YOU F'D IT UP 2 YEARS AGO IN FREE AGENCY and YOU F'D IT UP AGAIN THIS YEAR AND YOU PLAN TO DO THE SAME THING YOU'VE BEEN DOING – THAT'S CLEARLY NOT WORKING! That talk about taking a look at what you could do better is all just for show – you clearly don't think you are doing anything wrong – as by your comments. You think you can get bargains with talent and that's true to an extend – we need PLAYMAKERS BRADLEY – not a bargain basement fill in – sorry – you and Alim and DJ Reader can catch the first Greyhound and GO….PLEASE LEAVE – Give us a break – we're sick of it. Sometimes you need to make a SPLASH!!!! You almost got us there but clearly can't see it all the way through. Time to go.. BUH BYE!

18. Brad Holmes has been reading too many of his positive press clippings. This city deserves better than "we're good" from him when it's obvious to everyone that there are holes. The damage he did with the inactivity at the trade deadline and that dumpster fire of a draft… it's gonna take some work to recover.

19. What was the point of giving Monty a new deal then not using him? If you don’t treat your players with respect, they will not respect you either. If Gibbs is hurt, who is your RB?

20. Mike McDaniel or Eric Bieniemy for OC

21. If we resign Davenport imma be pissed

22. Goff threw the champion chances away last year. All, all that work for nothing, nothing, nothing. He could have thrown the ball near a receiver into the ground Instead of the interception and Dan Campbell supports that.
