lol at the Bears, seems like the announcers are blaming Caleb, he seemed to be doing all he could to get everybody lined up and snap it. The blame should all be on Eberflus, I genuinely wonder if he forgot that he had a timeout left?

On a side note flags like that should be reviewable. imo

Good call ref! lol

Shaboozey on the field longer than the Bears offense today.

While true the point is going from 16 to 19 wasn't that big of deal, not the same as going from say 14 to 17. I'd rather go for a TD and essentially make it a 4 score game and out of reach.

For all intents and purposes a 16pt game is a 3 possession, your likelihood of converting two 2pt conversions is like 25%, given the Lions great goal line defense and the Bears offense and that number is even lower.

Yeah if they would've handed it off for 3 plays and settled for a FG he would've been bitching about that.

This should be no decision, if Eberflus punts he is conceding the game.

I feel like I say this alot about Bates but his leg just amazes me, that was a near 50 yd FG yet it looks like an extra point when it crosses the goal posts.

Another "civilian" throw by Goff there.

If Edman doesnt have him on a spreadsheet are we sure the person actually exists?

Great video Chas! Kinda OT but Babe Ruth's swing is so sweet, you can argue whether or not it would work in today's game but in general how he transfers is weight, the lag he creates with his wrists/hands and how long he keeps the barrel in the zone is so amazing. For how heavy of bat he swung he probably still had insane bat speed.

Yeah for Buffalo I was gonna say that I had no idea where their team came from but since they used a Buffalo for their logo that's what I was gonna use as their mascot.

Random thought in regards to this, you could almost be able to have divisions based off mascots. Land predator division Lions, Bengals, Jaguars, Panthers, Bears Birds Cardinals, Seahawks, Eagles, Ravens, Falcons Other Animals Dolphins, Rams, Broncos, Colts, Bills "Good" people Patriots, 49ers, Chiefs, Commanders, Saints, Steelers "Bad" people Cowboys, Bucs, Raiders, Vikings, Texans Random crap Browns, Chargers, Giants, Titans, Jets, Packers

2022 Detroit Lions Regular Season Thread in Detroit Lions Posted November 4, 2022 Its a fine line between giving a GM/Coach too much rope or cutting them too early. Yeah the Lions haven't made the progress in the win/loss department like I hoped but unlike with Quinntricia I can see some positive things that Holmes/Campbell have brought to the table despite that. I believe Holmes knows what he is doing and while Campbell has made some mistakes on the field that is only one part of being a HC and maybe the most insignificant part at that. Most on field decisions are based off of what the analytics tell you, sometime you look like a genius if those decisions work out other times you don't, but what you do away from Sunday and how players respect and want to play for you is 100% on the coach and it seems in that regard Campbell has it. I also respect the fact that he is willing to make changes and hold other coaches responsible by evidence of the Pleasant firing this year and Lynn firing last year. This isn't to say that both should be given a 5+ year leash but I think calling for their firing just 2 years in could be a bit premature no matter where we finish this season. Yes turnarounds can happen fast in the NFL but sometimes they do take a few years and I rather give the guys a chance to see their vision through before firing them and starting over half way through. That was my feeling on Dan towards our low point, little did I know then how fast we would turn it around.

Lions fall to 5th all time through 11 games, still the best non undefeated team though. On a side note its the Lions franchise luck that arguably the best team they ever had before this one happened to run into the 2nd best team of all time in the NFC Championship game.

I think Henning still takes victory laps over the Adames call. One of his biggest wins the past decade or so.

Some Lions fans were saying stuff like "we apolpgize to our fellow feline and their fan base the Lions were just giving tough love last week for the long term gain of no Pederson." It was just filled with jargon like that with all the cat fans sticking up for one another and the bird fans doing likewise.

I was always in the defer camp but lately I switched to receiving camp. Yeah it's nice having the possibility of double dipping but those opportunities rarely happen. A team might get one a season if they are lucky. Atleast when you get the ball first you know you are getting the ball at a 50/50 win probability rate where as if you defer you could get the ball when your win probability is really high or really low so the possession doesn't mean that much.

I came across something on YT last night where there is some sorta coalition between all the feline fan bases against the bird fan bases. Given the fact that the Lions are the only good cat team at the moment it is an unfair fight against the likes of the Eagles, Ravens, Cardinals and others.

Bout time Williams actually gets some good news, not excusing his behavior but it feels like it's been nothing but bad news for him since he came into the league.

I am looking forward to seeing how the defense fairs against a qb like Josh Allen in a couple weeks. I don't expect them to hold them without a TD like they have done the last couple weeks but if they can even hold them to around 21 points it would make me feel good about this defense come playoff time and would show that they can handle even the best qbs.

The Lions scored as many TDs in their game against JAX as the defense has given up in the last 2 months combined.(7)

Yep, we're a Bates missed Field Goal in Minny away from being the 5 seed right now despite the dominant season.
