Motown Bombers Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I don't know that I've seen Rodgers overthrow a wide open receiver like that. This Packers team just doesn't scare me like previous versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 anyone with any knowledge of lions history (or league history) should be wary of this team winning 2 of 3 on the road to clinch a playoff spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, who's complaining that the the conversation is even possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've won the last 3 on the road, against better teams. Carolina will be tough but winnable. After we win, we'll witness a madhouse at home against the Bears.

Still, who's complaining that the the conversation is even possible? not to be debbie downer cause i'm now invested in this team and it pains me to think they might not make the playoffs but, lets think about this win streak: beat the pack in a game they were outgained and only won because of 3 rodgers ints in the red zone. beat the bears on a fluke because justin fields is a great rb playing qb. lost to the bills. gave up justin jefferson's greatest day ever and almost 400 yards passing to kurt effing cousins. gave up zach wilson's best day as a pro and over 300 yards passing. this passing defense has gone back to being an abomination. now, is that because they are overly concerned with stopping the run and making teams one dimensional? could be. is that one dimension destroying the lions poor secondary? yes, yes it is. the bears and panthers might not be able to take advantage of it, but the pack might. and whomever they play on the road in the playoffs might too. that said, if THIS team is in the playoffs, who cares? and if they make it, im writing in dan campbell for mayor of chicago. cause only the power of DC can end this crime wave....

Motown Bombers Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Always have to have those who tell you it can't happen and no matter what, if they lose, it will be the same old Lions trope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think they are playing with house money this season. Anything good from this point forward is awesome. Expectations will be much higher next season with 4 picks in the first two rounds, a full season of Jamo and a year of seasoning for this year’s rookie class. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 We can do this with any team. The Eagles didn't exactly dominate the Bears, the Vikings were down 33-0 to a last place team, the Chiefs needed overtime against the worst team in the NFL, and so on.

After we win, we'll witness a madhouse at home against the Bears. in 2000 the lions were 9-6 and only needed to beat a 4 win bears team with cade mcnown at qb to clinch a playoff berth. at home. first, lions fans knew because the game was not sold out. second, what we all knew would happen did happen as the lions lost to the bears on a last second 50+ yard field goal and they were out of the playoffs. after the game, wcf cleaned house and hired matt millen to direct the franchise. we spent the next 20 years wandering in the wilderness that was bad even by lions standards. so let us not assume that this team is beating anyone until it actually does. /oldmanrant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Don't give a shit what the Lions did 22 years ago. New ownership and management. And the Lions literally went on the road and beat the Jets to keep their playoff hopes alive that year.

buddha Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 always have to have those who will be the complete homer and praise whatever move the lions make, but then if the team fails will say they knew it all along because they said they would win 5-7 games back in june.

Motown Bombers Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Back to the original point, after the Lions were 1-3 and people were wondering if they would ever win another game and if Campbell was on the hot seat, I knew they were going to win games because their schedule was getting easier and aside from the Patriots and Cowboys game, they were close in every single game. I never predicted the playoffs so they are even exceeding my expectations. It wasn't hard to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
