The Lions barely beat the Bears, at home, so I don't know how you can say this won't be a tough game at a place that has been historically very tough on the Lions even last year when the Lions were the far better team but got whipped. The Niners will absolutely be a tough game. They're desperate and there's still a lot of very good players on that team and a strong culture much like the Lions. There's no way that's an "easy" game, no way.

Yeah Puka is unreal and Stafford can still play at an elite level. The Rams are very dangerous if they get in.

The Rams are better than the record shows IMO. If Puka hadn't been injured, they probably would have run away with that division already.

This might sound weird but I think the game at Chicago will be their toughest test. The conditions will likely turn the game into a bit of a slugfest and the Lions always struggle with the Bears even the last 2 years in which they were the much better team. Really, all the games left on the schedule will be challenging. The Lions will be up to it but this is the toughest part of their schedule.

Just gotta keep winning. Can't depend on others for help. Actually, I believe they can still afford to lose to Buffalo (AFC loss) and still control their destiny for the 1 seed.

Their resilience is something else. Goff threw that awful pick then he was pretty much perfect the rest of the way, bad playcall on 4th down in their own territory then they continue to be aggressive not phased one bit, offensive line struggling to run block then pave a Detroit sized hole through the Green Bay D-line on the final 4th down. They refused to lose this game and now 10 days of much needed rest to hopefully get a few guys back and lets pray that the Alim injury isn't serious.

The GRIT of this game and this team was something else. To beat a high quality opponent with that defense as battered as it was, with the added Alim injury in game, was one of the greatest things I've witnessed as a Lions fan. Couldn't be more proud of this team after an effort like THAT.

Absolutely hated that call. I didn't even mind going for it there but a QB sneak or a playaction and they get that easily I bet. Ben tends to get too cute at times, it can be frustrating with him at times.

People are going to question Campbell about the 4th down call but I completely get it. Win the game with your best unit, get one yard and make sure that the offense takes the clock down to zero. I don't know if there's another coach in the league that would have had the giant balls to make an aggressive call like that

They won the toss and received just last game

Cooper Flagg looked really good. Of course we know the Pistons will end up with the 5th pick but throw the season in the Pooper for Cooper has now initiated.

That nickname was used already. I think it was Greg Zurelien when he was with the Rams. Still, cool nickname regardless

That's actually insane the amount of depth this organization has in all 3 phases. Might be one of the most well rounded rosters we've seen in the league in a long time. Doesn't guarantee a Superbowl of course but it sure helps the chances. Also of note that Hutch would likely be #1 on this list if healthy and Anzalone probably should be.

All the Lions have to do is beat Green Bay this week and the Lions don't have to worry about them anymore. Easier said than done and it'll certainly be a tough matchup but a true championship level team wins this game at home and puts away the Packers. The Vikings are another story, it'll likely come down to that last game but the Lions are also likely to be healthier by then, not projecting for other injuries happening between now and then of course. The Eagles are the biggest playoff threat, to state the obvious. Perhaps the only team in the league with more overall talent than the Lions now playing to their talent level. It's clear that their late season nosedive last season was a fluke.

The Lions need the Eagles to lose more anyway since they control their destiny for the division even with a few losses.

With the combination of the Pistons being improved and the east being a hot mess, I'd be surprised if the Pistons weren't in play in contention by the deadline so I don't see any reason to trade Beasley. I think re-sign is the best option, he's an obvious fit with Cade and/or Ivey and he's only 28, well 29 when the new contract kicks in. Unless he doesn't want to be here, I think he should be a priority in the offseason assuming the price isn't too outrageous.

Worst coach I've ever seen on a Pistons sideline and there's some strong candidates. Chaney, Kuester, Frank etc. Thank God that Gores realized his mistake and footed the bill of the buyout because the Pistons couldn't afford for him to wreck another development year.

That might have been the biggest win of the Cade Era, as sad as that is. Beasley was a huge pickup, don't know if they can re-sign him or if they should but he's amazing value at that dollar figure.

The tank is on

Umm, what?

Yeah, sorry guys. I forgot that the Green Bay game is on Thursday. Really dumb schedule and bad timing for the Lions.

That ending was more SOL than the SOL ever was. I'm speechless. 10 days to heal up and man do the Lions ever need that extra time to heal up

You let teams hang around and this is what happens but lol at this @TP_Fan meltdown. Can you imagine being a fan like that? Must be so miserable

This is a 35-0 game disguised as 16-0. Reminds me a lot of the Raiders game last year

The 1991 Redskins are arguably the most underrated team of all time. An all time great team that gets lost in the shuffle because it was a one year wonder. Rypien morphed into Joe Montana for just one year in an otherwise mediocre career, we Lions fans know that team well sadly.
