After next week's blowout loss to the Bears, the Lions will finish the season last in the division with a losing record. That SB window has definitely closed

Yay. The big battle for last place

A big part of that was Branch. His importance gets routinely overlooked. You saw yesterday what the run defense is without him. It's like taking a queen off your chessboard. I doubt the Steelers rip both of those 45yd TD runs with a healthy Branch in the secondary. He and Jack Campbell were pretty formidable together. I think the offense will be fine. Something needs to be done about the defense as a unit though. Yes the back end is completely drained, but we're out of excuses for the first two levels. They've been relatively healthy the last few games, no starters or key players out. Something's not working. And I have a feeling Holmes is just going to run it all back

I figured they'd struggle a bit as well, but... not facing a realistic chance in December of finishing under .500

Neither do I

Of course not. It was a questionable call. Sure looks like he got pushed into the safety by Porter, or at least steered into him. Seems more incidental than anything worthy of a flag. Certainly enough to warrant a no-call

Congratulations Dan Campbell. You've officially been Lionized

Picked to win the North by many. Super Bowl pick by some. And they likely won't even make the playoffs. Even the most cynical, negative Lions fans didn't see this coming.

Getting their sh*t pushed in at home by the Vikings and Packers was the difference this year. Division was theirs for the taking

Fitting

Go for 2

Ok. Just need to get one stop. One.

Goff should have 5 picks this game

Too little too late I'm assuming. But... you never know

Ok. Defense just needs to get one stop. One.
