Lions win while resting some in 2nd half

3 seed still and play the Rams next week

 

[tomdalton22]

I would love to see the Rams in Detroit. Please, give me Rams by more than a FG. Easy $$$

Fuck off, Thomas! Lol

If Packers win and 49ers beat Rams, we get GB first round at home. That?s what I?m hoping for. I?d love to see the Rams and Stafford knock off Dallas and have us home like we deserve in the 2nd round.

The Rams are a really hot team right now. If I were a Lions fan, that would be the last team I would want visiting Ford field.

What?s with Jameson, he catches a deep pass than gets up dancing and then all of a sudden he?s out.

I don't get it either. He catches the ball, jumps up immediately and celebrates by dancing. No limp, no nothing. He was tackled up at his shoulders. Nothing at all happened to his ankles on that play. Then doesn't play the rest of the game and is out again this week.

I hope in the playoffs we don?t have a stupid coach like the Indy coach.

4th and A half a yard and you have Taylor who is gaining yardage all game and you bring in a guy who has 6 catches on the season and leave it in that qb?s hands who really hasn?t thrown the ball well all game. The play was fine but the qb threw it behind the running back who didn?t catch the ball. Ballgame game over. Just run the ball in my opinion. You also had plenty of time to run a play and keep your 3 time outs which I would have done..Nope they call the timeout and then drop the pass with a running back who only has 6 catches all season.

Go Honolulu Blue.

State of Michigan!

Game on TV for me.

Rams and Stafford looked like shit last week vs a horrible giants team.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Jalen Rose in da House.

The last team I want is Tampa Bay.

They still have TB 10 Tom Brady, right?

 

[biggunsbob]

That was a great pass to Raymond.!

Gibbs td next play !

 

[biggunsbob]

Can we find a damn kicker.

 

[gotime909]

Goff looking sharp

 

[manchild98]

He kicks the ball so freaking low. He's going to cost us in the playoffs.

 

[manchild98]

3rd and 30. 1st down

 

[mhughes0021]
