Game Thread: 2023 Lions regular season game thread

No Bruce Irvin. Just when I think these guys are getting their act together they elevate a no name TE instead of a much needed pass rusher. Hopefully it does not bite us in the ass.

Merry Christmas All!

All I want is Division win today.

Merry Christmas. Let's wrap this division up today! Stop the run on the way to pressuring Mullens. Make him throw more of those wild 500 balls like he did last week. I feel 3 or 4 picks for our defense!

 

[Edonidd]

Craig Reynolds being used as a lead Fullback is just about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. But TD anyways, so I guess who cares?

 

[Wazmankg]

Branch with an ill advised pick on 4th down shortly after dropping one in the EZ that would have saved 7 points.

 

[Wazmankg]

The crown of his helmet DID smack into Goff's facemask so this announcer can stop crying about that roughing penalty any time now.

 

[Old Lion]

Putrid defense again. This secondary makes a lot of mistakes. Scheme is better and yet they find a way to screw it up. Letting MN stay this close now at home is a problem. Not like our coaches make half time adjustments. Guess we have to hop for either the offense lighting it up and winning a shootout or the Vikes offense shooting themselves in the foot.

 

[Wazmankg]

The Boys are going to stomp this team next week and the Vikes have the Pack at home. How embarrassing would it be if the division title comes down to the last game, after the Vikes lost their QB several weeks ago?

 

[Zwalt]

Expect we pull this one out, but that defense is tough to watch.

 

[Zwalt]

Mullens, lol

THE LIONS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!

Stupid shit after stupid shit. How does Commisky not just fall on the ball? How can you be that fuckin stupid and play at the pro level? Starting to think AG was right. Its no longer a scheme problem. These guys just play fucking stupid. INT on 4th down in the first half cost us 20 yards too. Blown coverages all over the place.

Also nice TO at the end of the 1st half with 40 seconds to go to give them time for a TD instead of FG. The topper was Ben Johnson calling a backwards pass on 2nd and 7 with 4 minutes to go (and no TO left for MN) when Montgomery was running through the defense even when they knew he was going to run it. What the fucking holy hell is that?

Finally Badgely is not good enough to be an NFL kicker. Dude duck hooks everything and barely gets his kicks off the ground. There has to be a better option out there.

I wish that I hadn't watched it. It wasn't much fun until about 58 seconds left.

First time this year I can't form my own opinion. I will rewatch after Xmas for sure.

Congrats to Lions fans for the divisional title today! Best to your team in the playoffs, honestly hope Lions bring home the Lombardi this year.

Interestingly... I was at the last game when Lions clinched a division title... myself and 3 friends drove to watch Packers play Lions at Pontiac Silverdome on January 2nd, 1994 with the winner winning the 1993 season NFC Central division title... Sterling Sharpe was a few catches away form breaking NFL reception record for season and got it in that game... but Packers lost to the Lions.

Cheers to the Lions and the early Christmas present

Browns/Lions Super Bowl

Saturday night, on the road, against Dallas is a good test for the Lions. It is like a playoff game. Both teams still fighting for a higher seed. Dallas trying to regroup. A win would be a huge confidence builder and give us home field over them.

But, if the Lions lose it isn't all bad. It ensures that Dallas (or Philly) get the 5 seed. That means we don't have to face them in the first round. I believe those two teams are stronger than the NFC West or North options.
