Green Bay losing to SF would mean the NFC Championship game at Ford Field after we beat Tampa. But do we really want Love to advance? I don't want him to have any confidence going into next season. I did hear Green Bay needs to extend his contract. I hope they overpay him and then he comes back to earth. 😅

WCF was always hands off though. People wondered if he really cared or not. Allowing a team to be so bad for so long isn't a good thing. The opposite of Jerry Jones.

I don't know. Any coach who follows Bill Belichick will have to put up with all the comparisons that are sure to follow. It will take a really thick skin to deal with all the fans and media.

There's numerous sources that say the same thing....Brad Allen and his crew downgraded and won't be working playoffs. Really, they don't need him or his crew, there's plenty of officials for the limited playoff games.

Yeah, they announced they wouldn't get any playoff assignments. And while they blew the Lions game and it will be remembered, it only cost them a regular season game. But we avoided Green Bay and we got that 2nd home game we should have gotten by being the 2 seed. It worked out very well for us.

That player eligible call actually ended up helping the Lions. If we would have had the 2nd seed, we would have played Green Bay. This way, we got that 2nd home game and Dallas started their off-season. It worked out perfectly...Thank You, Brad Allen...😁

And I'm sure Brad will address any personnel losses. Jackson can be replaced thru FA and we can draft OL help. After all the injuries this season, we know this is a good area we need to address. Depth is one thing, quality depth is another.

If the Lions think they can get better production from a FA over Josh Reynolds, go for it. Otherwise, I'm sure he would want to stay here with Goff. And our OL knows they're more valuable as a unit than they are individually. I'm sure they would want to stay in Detroit, if we want them. Again, it depends if they think they can get better performance for the same price or not. Something teams need to avoid when they improve is to stay the same. We should always look to be improving.

The best news here is not having to see Nevin try to hit again.

I agree with his top 3.

I don't know. An edge rusher may be more important. Even the best corner backs have a problem covering with no pressure on the QB. Getting consistent pressure on a QB makes the secondary look better.

I don't think Dan Campbell will allow his team to play unprepared. I'm not really worried about a letdown, I see the opposite. Lions will play loose with a ton of confidence. This may be a franchise defining victory!

Pretty cool condensed version of the playoff win. Some mic'd up players, different angles and Dan Miller on many of the calls. That guy will need a week off to get his voice back...lol

It was Staffords fault. Leading a receiver into a big hit has been a QB mistake for many years.

It looked possible but the Wing had either a bit more speed or the angle. Or both...

Daniels said "Wings on a power play with a minute still innit" He's a poet and didn't know it. 😁

Ahead of Toronto, alone in 3rd place. They do have 2 games at hand on us but...just keep winning!

Sweet

Man advantage for overtime. 4 on 3 hockey. Wings are gonna win it.

I hear Buffalo is in line for another huge snowstorm. 3 feet of snow every week? Detroit won't be able to bail them out this time.

Wings are probably pretty tired. It's been some crazy traveling.

The Bally app subscription is $20 a month. Prime better not be more than that. The radio is free with highlights on the local news at 11PM.

I questioned why in the world they would carry 3 goaltenders. In hindsight, it's good they did!

I agree. Just tell me how to watch the Tigers and Wings and I'll tune in. Right now, I use the Bally Sports app and it really sucks. I do have Amazon Prime and I like their user interface a bit better. Do I cancel Bally and watch on Prime? Or do I need to keep Bally? The article doesn't make it clear...
