Maybe Delmas can play special teams when he gets back (kidding)… They’ve been playing more like Special Ed in that phase of the game. Defense hasn’t really been THAT bad. I mean, if you expected them to be a shut down defense, your just not a realistic Lions fan. But I think expecting to be average on special teams wasn’t a stretch, and they have been far from that.

I think they still lose this week, even on the bye.

Yaaaaay! No more practice squad safeties or the slowest/stiffest safety (John Wendling) in the NFL to get targeted all game long anymore!

Yes, the defense IS better with him of course. But even when he is in there he is NOT the playmaker everyone thinks he is. I get sick and tired of people putting him in the same tier as Polomalu and Ed Reed, because in reality he is just above average.

Anyone that wants to argue with me, other than his rookie year what has he done on the field? He overpursues plays, is not a fundamentally sound tackler, and always takes risks that rarely pay off.

Delmas is good, but nothing more than “good”. Anyone that disagrees is clearly not a true Lions fan and doesnt actually WATCH the games.

Big get for the Lions. Delmas’s WAR is extremely high.

Sad part is that the defense has been pretty descent this year. They would be 3-1 if the ST didn’t give up 14 pts in each of the past two games. Yes, the offense has been inconsistent and does need to get on track as well. That being said, looking at their schedule and only having room for approximately 3 more losses it looks like their playoff hopes are over already.

They need all hands on deck and a new attitude. The next 4 games are all playoff games for the Lions.

IF they win out (big if), they’ll only be 5-3 when they meet the Vikes at the Metrodome. Then their 2nd half schedule gets even harder. Best they can do is another WC.

Delmas is a difference maker. That defense is way better with him than without him.

Just a heads up. Anyone that calls themselves lions fans think that with delmas back it’s gonna make all the difference you are blind as a bat. He’s good, but not THAT good.

YES!! Delmas is back so now Stafford will quit throwing the ball too high and Pettigrew will stop dropping the ball!

Vick should be worried… he knows what happened the last time he faced Delmas ….. R.I.P Vick
