Lions guaranteed a top 5 pick

Week 17 games for other 4 teams in the bottom 5:
Jacksonville @ New England
Houston @ San Francisco
Tampa Bay @ NY Jets
NY Giants @ Chicago

- Jacksonville win and Lions loss puts the Lions at #1 again
- Lions will still be in top 2 regardless of the outcomes this week
- Texans, Jets, and/or Giants win guarantees a higher pick range for the Lions

 

[tigermud]

I can?t think of any good reason I?d want to watch this game today

 

[mhughes0021]

So all of the covid players can play except for montez and geronimo. Unless they are pussies... ofcourse.

 

[mhughes0021]

Nice start D.

 

[mhughes0021]

2 tries to run the ball a yard. We suck.

 

[mhughes0021]

Dumbass coach is allergic to taking a lead.

 

[jared]

I don't really have a problem with the decision, but the challenge when it was obviously short was just stubborn and unnecessary to me.

 

[mhughes0021]

I don't really have a problem with the decision, but the challenge when it was obviously short was just stubborn and unnecessary to me.

Or you just kick a fg and give your young team a lead and some confidence.

Now you're losing. Cause we're led by an idiot.

 

[mhughes0021]

Seattle doesn't mind getting 3 points. 10-0. Game over.

 

[gotime909]

Seems like he still had possession wjen his arm starting going forward, but im not gonna complain if it's a fumble.

 

[gotime909]

Lose today locks up no lower than 2. Then pull out all the tricks to somehow beat green bay next week would be an amazing end to the season

 

[mhughes0021]

Reeves maybin sucks.

Our DTs suck.

17-0

 

[LKP]

Amon Ra only one who showed

Defense and run game bad. Gonna be a long day

 

[LKP]

Zero defense today. Harris at outside amd slot cb says it all lol. Top 2 pick incoming

 

[mhughes0021]

Benson drop. Nice job holmes.

 

[mhughes0021]

Draft 2 more DTs. Good job holmes.

 

[mhughes0021]

Why is Reeves maybin always making tackles 10 yards down field. Are you a LB or safety? What a bum.

 

[gotime909]

Boyle is not only limited in physical abilities but also stupid. Free play at the end of half and doesn't take a shot.
