Who cares about that, ruining the Packers now and then clinching next week anyway is more fun.

Why? if they lose they can't catch us and we own any tiebreakers against TB from head-to-head

I didn't even think about that angle. Might be a little icy in the room when he gets back.

Dexter Bussey, Horace King.......See Billy Run.............Couldn't stop him with a gun

It's the pencil in his ear..........only smart guys do that.

I know if the Eagles win that we clinch a playoff spot, but do we want the Seahawks instead, You know, for a possible shot at #2 or even (gulp) #1 seeding? We own tiebreakers over the entire south, so really its between us, the Packers and Rams. Do we own the tiebreaker over Green Bay? So we split Head-To-Head, next would be conference record, we have them by 1 1/2 games there, plus the Packers would have to go undefeated the rest of the way. I know the Lions playoff chances are now greater than 99% and because of that it's better if the Eagles lose, not the Seahawks, right?

A new way to blame Joe Biden for something is this Home Alone shopping comparison. What Kevin bought in 1990 for $20 would now cost $54, and increase of roughly 255%. Republicans are blaming this all on Biden. Now, dig a little deeper here, which is something many Americans can't seem to do despite having all the information in the world available, literally, in the palm of their hand. Would Kevin's shopping trip had cost $20 on January 19, 2021? No 33 years have passed. Lets take a look at the same comparison going backwards 33 years from 1990 to 1957. Kevin's $20 shopping trip would have cost roughly $8 (estimate since dryer sheets weren't invented yet) That's an increase of roughly 250 - 255% % Oh, yeah, lets leave that part out. But they bang this into everyone's head and it will work.

It takes a bit longer for defensive guys to catch on, especially anyone beyond the front line. Front Line kind of does what the do with some variations but the other defensive positions have to be reactionary. Those offensive guys act instead of react, so it's a faster learning curve. Especially being a linebacker, where you kind of have to be all things to really compete. He'll get it. He actually has the potential to be Chris Spielman Jr. He'd look a lot better if our line could actually get to the QB more often. I don't think this team can go too far in the playoffs. A home playoff game against the 6th or 7th seed is a winnable game, but I don't think the Lions can beat Dallas, Philly or San Francisco. This team probably won't really peak for another year or two. This offseason is about getting another defensive lineman to get to the QB and keeping that O-Line together. They might have to creative to do that. Priority 1. Pass Rusher 2. Secondary 3. More O-Line Depth 4. More LB depth Don't need any shiny new toys like QB, RB, WR or TE. They are set there for another year or two. The announcers talked about how all the good teams have gone through a rough patch, maybe that's all it was for the Lions. I sure hope so. I am hoping our Christmas present next week is an NFC North title clinching. The way the Vikins fell apart yesterday, they might be in their own head a bit.

Remember how we were rolling last year - and then we hit the Carolina game and it all went poof? That's what happened to the Broncos yesterday. That loss probably cost them the playoffs.

which lead to this song (and then to others because my head is like a radio on random and today its on a station that plays Nick Cave-type stuff)

Woke up with this one in my head

I was 12. I went to the mall that day with me mum. I was at JC Penny watching this game in their TV section and my mom said let's go, its over - as I saw the Punter taking the field. Got into the car, turned on the radio and they were going crazy about the win. Totally missed it. My mom's fault.

Goff was bad in the first quarter, How Goffy Got His Groove Back is the name of this one. Just keep that O-Line healthy !!!!

Oooh, and several Deadly Women episodes are on now. Great night !

Well, the offense did what I asked and scored 42, even though they didn't need to.

Just kick the FG here............

No facemask against Denver vs. Gibbs?

Rodrigo !

I mean, the Broncos are certainly helping by takin their time on this drive. Glad onside kicks are harder these days.

I don't think it is, actually. It was incredibly stupid. RBs are averaging over 8 yards a carry tonight. Don't get cute. 4 score comebacks can happen. Don't lose your head, man.

Any Anti-Troy Weaver chants?

4 score lead with 9 minutes left - I have seen crazier things (Vikings vs. Colts last year). No need to be stupid and stop the clock there, Ben.

I don't get throwing on first down. I know you have a 4 score lead at this point, but still.............kind of dumb

He didn't see the wave. Still a bad play, but I think once Kalif sees the replay he'll chill. Why are the Lions throwing on first down at this point when the RBs have 5.7 and 11.0 ypc today?
