Game 16: Bears @ Lions Thread

I don't think Seattle loses next week. Rams are awful.

They just said on football night in America that if sea and gb both win gb goes because of divisional wins. Which makes no sense since there'd both have another divisional win.

Maybe conference wins not divisional

Because GB controls their own destiny there is no doubt we will be flexed into the Sunday night game. Sunday Night Football said the Packers have the conference record tie break over Seattle. That's how they control their own destiny.

Sadly I agree. Freaking no show in the Panthers game. Plus so many close losses killed Detroit chances to control their own destiny.

Lost to Vikings and Seattle were very costly. Especially Seattle

Williams sits at 994 yards on the season. Reggie Bush had 1006 yards rushing in the 2013 season.

Glad its Jamaal. He deserves it. Plus all the tds

Jamaal is 10th in league in rushing

Free agent to be though but a leader

The Lions did a great job getting back into contention. Another good draft and a decent free agent class and they could be in the hunt for division next year.

Did either of the two teams that the lions need to lose one time lose?

I think the Redskins? I think the other teams that the Lions "needed" to lose were the Giants, GB, and Seattle and they all won.

I?m not a math whiz, but I?m pretty sure the Lions need Green Bay to lose next week.

this is true. They also need Seattle to lose next week.

Actually, I mis read your post. You were talking about teams that only needed to lose one game.

Besides a game here or there.....this has been a constant this year for these two. On a good defense, both these guys are backups. Kirby is young and has potential......but the tape catches up with guys after a few weeks.....and it has with Kirby for sure.

Gonna need replacements next year if the defense is to improve more than a little.

As far as they the draft there 2 safeties projected in the mid to late 1st rd.

If you're looking for a physical presence I like Antonio Johnson.

If you like a do it all kind of guy then you can draft Brian Branch.

FA market is kind of soft. Taylor Rapp has a rams connection if Holmes liked him. He's meh ...

They'll have Walker back next year (hopefully), but I agree they need more talent. Elliott is decent but is only on a one year contract. Joseph was a project coming out of the draft who was thrusted into a starting role, so the ups and downs are expected, probably needs another year or two. Fun fact: Joseph snap count in the NFL is already 77% of all the snaps he took in 4 years at Illinois

If the Lions can upgrade from Elliott and go into next year with Joseph and Melifonwu as backups, I can live with that.
