Game 11: Lions @ Colts Thread

Long Jr was active ? Thought we just picked him up a few days ago ?
 
Just push him out . Dumb by Branch. He is going to get kicked out of a big game again if he doesn’t watch it.
 
How you know you have a good team- fans complaining after an 18 point win on the road against a good team desperate for a win.

Wasn't a clean game but we're 10-1. And as far as i can tell, this is the lions first time ever having back to back 10+ win seasons
 
Lions RB David Montgomery has logged his 50th-career rushing TD. In his first 25 games with the Lions, he has rushed for 24 TDs. This ties Curtis Martin (Patriots from 1995-96) for the 6th-most rushing TDs a player has had in their first 25 games with a team in NFL history.

All of those teams made or won the super bowl. Let's hope we can keep that streak going.
 
Vildor isn't playing good. Most of the defense is playing decent. Vildor needs to go.
Lions CB Kindle Vildor recorded a 28.0 PFF Defensive Grade in Week 12. This ranked 78th out of 78 qualifying cornerbacks.It's the fourth lowest individual game grade of any cornerback since Week 8.
