The Official Detroit Lions Den Thread

Buffalo fans not too happy about all the flags

We will see what this team is made of. 9-4, Packers and Vikings will be 7-6 after this week. If they don’t beat Denver Saturday they won’t win the North

Hate to say it but it seems like its falling apart.
Hope we don't end up 9-8 again.

WTF is wrong with the defense????

We have got to start halves better defensively. It’s killing us. And the offense has to figure out the third quarter woes. They are -44 point differential in the third quarter

I'm a pessimist usually but if Goff backslides
Maybe Bridgewater is the answer. It seems we
Are doing the opposite of last year. Falling down
At the tail end of the season.

It’s so annoying how if one OL gets hurt they go from top unit to mediocre just like that. They were shredding NOLA last week. Ragnow goes out, back to mediocre offense. I don’t think benching Goff is or should be an option but he’s got to play smarter football.

Despite all the panic, Lions clinch a playoff spot with a win and Seahawks loss next week

I'm still Team Lions Bandwagon.

I'm still Team Lions Bandwagon.

I would feel a lot better if the Giants could do me a solid

I know this is obviously a hot take and this isn’t how you operate an NFL franchise but he has a point!

Suck it Green Bay

Suck it Green Bay

Massive. Absolutely massive. If you beat Minnesota twice now you win the division.

Minnesota is hardly a juggernaut right now. Must be nice to play in that division. As a Bengal fan, I'm jealous.

Kudos on the Opening night win over the Chiefs, but have the Lions beaten anyone else over .500 since?

The Lions could easily face a sub .500 team in the playoffs. NFC is really something this year

Yeah but we have to beat Minnesota at least once. Twice?????????

Lions are treading water right now.

The Packers loss really helped. Just got to win 2/4. Lions are in a rough patch but I think they can pull it out.

If the 2 out of 4 are against Denver and Dallas does that still win it?

In that scenario, Minnesota would have to lose one more game

 

[zjcvols]

@MAD 11-6 does get us in the playoffs no matter what

@MAD

Looks like we have a better than 50% chance of making the playoffs without winning another game.

Hopefully it would be against Green Bay.
