Host of Lions’ radio post-game show said pretty much the same thing. So if you sound crazy so does he. You don’t sound crazy.

The Davis and McNeil injuries depress me more than the loss. I was hoping that Green Bay was the nadir with respect to depletion and that the defensive personnel would only get better week by week as players returned.

They got it. And it wasn’t.

Yeah, why not. If you fire it at a guy dodgeball, it either bounces off the guy and back to you, or if he is able to duck out or the way the defense gets the ball another 10 yards or so further back

That’s about as much as you can expect from an onside kick. Loose ball, no flags, scrum, wait for refs’ call. Wouldn’t that have been wild.

3 plays to victory: recover onside kick. Sideline pass to pick up 10 yards. Catch Hail Mary.

You need to start throwing near the end zone.

Should have called a timeout. No timeout on offense will save you 40 seconds.

Ballgame.

Need to find a way to get the ball back with 5 minutes to go.

Not high, but better than 3%.

The Lions could have afforded giving up a 5-minute FG drive, scoring a TD in 4 minutes, then getting a stop, then going on a TD drive down 6. Risks are fine if the odds are in your favour or close. You don’t try a 3% play with 12 minute to go.

So dumb.

C’mon, too early for an onside kick.

12:00 is a minute to spare!

Need a TD by around the 11:00 mark.

Long pass attempt on 3rd down was the Lions’ chance for a quick stop. But no. The Lions won’t win this unless they get some help from the Bills in this 4th quarter.

Happy to see that holding call actually. But what is going on with our receivers’ hands today?

Go Steelers! Go Bears (until next week)!

Lions need a 4-TD 2nd half just to have a shot. And even that might not be enough.

Allen failed to eat up much clock on that drive. 28-14.

Unfortunately I don’t think that’s the case. The Lions win 15-2 tiebreakers against the Eagles but not necessarily all 14-3 tiebreakers. A Lions win today would put them at 13-1 (9-1 conf) and an Eagles loss would put them at 11-3 (8-2 conf). Each finish with 3 games against conference opponents. If the Lions finish 1-2 and the Eagles finish 3-0, both would be at 14-3 and the Eagles would win the conference tiebreaker 11-2 to 10-3.

Suck it, Leafs.

I’m surprised the refs haven’t given the Leafs a powerplay yet after those back to power plays for the Wings. Plus the Wings are up 1 with 4 minutes to go, that usually triggers a penalty.
