Lions at Seahawks

[sagnam]

Jared Goff back with Lions, Josh Reynolds goes on COVID reserve

 

This is exactly what we needed to protect the #2 pick and keep an outside shot at #1.

[RandyMarsh]

I don't know all the outcomes but I would imagine a Packers loss this week would help the Lions as it likely would mean that they would be playing for home field advantage against the Lions. If they win and clinch HFA this week I'd imagine the team they'd throw out there against us would resemble a covid stricken team. Of course we played the Packers a couple times the last week of the season where they rested guys cause they had nothing to play for and they still won so it may not matter anyway.

I haven’t looked so I could be dead wrong but I assume since only the top seed gets a bye that the Packers will have something to play for up until the end.  

[RandyMarsh]

Looking at the standings the Packers are 1 game up on the Cowboys, Rams and Bucs. I have no idea of the tie break situation but if the Pack hold it over them then they will indeed have nothing to play for against the Lions if they win this Sunday.

lions could easily win this game.  the seahawks are trash.

The packers currently hold the tie  breaker over the bucs and rams, but not the cowboys.  cowboys would be the top seed if they had an equal record.

Only if the Cowboys remain one game behind headed into the final week. I believe that the Cowboys are the only team of the 11 win teams that owns the tiebreaker although not sure how a 3 or 4 way tie would work.

In any event, hopefully the Lions lose another competitive game this week and the Packers have something to play for in the final week so we can root for the Lions to spoil things for Erin without draft pick position concerns.

Let’s hope Darrell Bevell coaches to win in the hopes of getting a head coaching gig somewhere rather than protecting their draft position like he did last week running a play short of the goal line on 2nd and goal with under 30 to play.

It would be to total shame if Rod-gers had to play next week and pulled a hamstring. Or would he be too stupid to even notice?

Jimmy Carter? I remember we won at the Rams when Billy Sims was a rookie. He was just another players wasted talent playing for Detroit.

Actually, I read that he doesn’t believe in hamstrings or any of the commonly accepted skeletal structure that doctors want us to believe is our human anatomy.   

[MichiganCardinal]

I got all ready to be hurt again just to realize the game doesn’t start until 4:30.

He consulted with Joe Rogan.

Lions sure dodged a bullet with Kenny Hurtallday.   

[RandyMarsh]

JaMarr Chase probably won his fantasy owners alot of championships today, 180yds and 3TDs and the 3rd quarter just started!

[MichiganCardinal]

Jets are inexplicably up on the Buccaneers 24-17 heading to the 4th quarter. With a win, the highest the Lions would pick is #4.

No word yet on how many tablets have been victimized.

[Motown Bombers]

Meanwhile Jacksonville has completely rolled over.

Not really. It was pretty much a no-brainer decision. Even with our lack of receivers, not too many fans are screaming about us letting him walk. Do we get a comp draft pick for losing him?

And Stafford with a pick 6 (he leads the league with 4) and a lost fumble.

"Lower" might have made more sense. Numerically, #4 is the highest the Lions could pick. On the board, the Lions could not pick lower than #4.

IOW, the Lions could not pick #5 lol

Antonio Brown looks like he quit the Buccs in the middle of a game.   (too many hits to the head).
