Jason_R Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Sauce Gardner played 66 snaps. The Lions did not throw his way once. Wouldn't it be nice to have a CB on the Lions who could earn that kind of respect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 According to playoffstatus.com we are now up to a 47% chance of making it, 8 days ago we were at just 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams would always be throwing it Amani's way that they wouldn't throw it to the other corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have games against San Francisco, Cleveland and Dallas. Not an easy remaining schedule. And Seattle plays in K.C. and then Jets and Rams at home. We may be rooting for the Rams. Giants play at the Vikings, home against Indy and then at Philadelphia. Lions could win out and still not make it, in theory. But they could always lose one and still get in, in theory.

I really hope Mike White gets healthy for that Seattle game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job by Campbell and Johnson of protecting Goff from it. 20% of Goff's passing yards came on the one big play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Thibodeux has definitely been a menace in this Washington game, seems like he is in the backfield every play he is out there. It's got to be his best game to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unlikely that they win out and aren't in. That would mean that two of the three teams ahead of them swept their games. Next week alone, all of the Giants, Commanders and Seahawks are going to be big underdogs against Minny, San Fran and K.C. respectively. They could all easily lose those games and the Lions would control their destiny if they beat Carolina on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 It's very conceivable the Lions are in the playoffs by this time next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Washington-NYG tie tonight still in play. Giants need to kick this 50-yard FG, Washington score a TD and 2-point conversion in the final 2 minutes, then both mess around in OT. Update: Step 1, FG is made. Now an 8-point game with 1:55 to go.

And not only are they playing like one of the top 7 NFC teams right now, on a neutral field I think Philly is the only NFC team I'd clearly favor over the Lions. Of course if the Lions do make the playoffs they won't be playing on neutral fields, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I dont know if the Lions make it, but after watching this game, I definitely think they are better than the other three teams they are fighting for a spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I think in some ways we want the Giants to win to keep pressure on Dallas since Dallas faces Washington at the end of the season. Dallas will want that 5th seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they win next week sure, but them going 0-3 against the Vikings, Colts, and Eagles wouldn’t be the craziest thing in the world, and it would be a roundabout way for us to get in at 9-8.

Motown Bombers Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I look at the schedule for Washington, Seattle and New York and do not see either of them going 3-0. I very much see the Lions capable of going 3-0. This game against the Jets was a test. They went on the road in December against a good team fighting to stay in the playoffs and won. The game I worry the most about is Green Bay. Hopefully they already clinch by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
