Game 17: Vikings @ Lions Thread

[biggunsbob]

Saints can still get a wildcard if Seattle and Green Bay loses.

Michigan hoops on TV for me a loss; Lions football on TV for me a win; Red Wings hockey on TV for me a little later.

Reynolds ends up with 44 yards. He hits one bonus.

Great season. 12-5 beat my expectations for the first time in decades.

Defense is confusing... sometimes we get sacks in bunches. Sometimes we cover.... then we don't.

Offense is confusing. Sometimes we go into a shell.... but sometimes were the most explosive offense in the league.

But you are what your record is... and we're a good team.

The last week of the nfl season blows. It's not fair to some teams when they play a team at full strength and some other team might get their b squad. Pittsburgh made the playoffs because Baltimore just conceded that game yesterday. The jags played Baltimore a couple weeks ago at full strength.

Nick Mullens threw for 800 yards against us. 411 & 396

 

[manchild98]

Giants up 17-0.

 

[mhughes0021]

Giants up 17-0.

And Dallas in a close game.

If there is a god he'd do the right thing and have phi and dal lose.

But there isn't a god... so i guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Packers win but Rams in the lead with 2 minutes to go.

 

[tomdalton22]

Rams at Lions next week?

 

[manchild98]

Rams at Lions next week?

SF still has a chance to kick a FG and win.

 

[manchild98]

Darnold fumbled. Lions vs Rams next week.

 

[brewer229]

My guess would be Saturday night game since it will be Stafford coming back

 

[manchild98]

My guess would be Saturday night game since it will be Stafford coming back

I thought the same thing. We'd be a late game if it was the Rams and early if it was Green Bay. Rams vs Lions is an easy match-up to sell and should have a lot of offense to be the prime time game.

 

[biggunsbob]

Packers are McCarthy?s old team. I wonder which game will be the Monday night game?

 

[biggunsbob]

Hindsight is 20/20. I wonder if Dan regrets playing some guys ?

 

[mhughes0021]

All this winning makes draft threads super boring lol...

 

[tomdalton22]

Rams vs. Lions, exactly what I was hoping for. The score is going to look like a Pac 12 game 35-31 type game.
