Saw the Jags started having some Covid positive tests. Quin is probably hoping the game gets cancelled. A loss to the lowly Jags coming off a bye week could mean certain doom.

 

[JScottWriter]

Go Jags! Once the Lions kept Quintricia I decide I would root for the local team. Plus if the Jags win Quintricia could get canned. Win win.

 

[thehippo73]

I just saw that Jason La Canfora reported that if the Lions lose Matt Patricia could be fired.

I always root for a Lions win. But this makes it tough.

 

[tigermud]

Lions by a FG at the end just because it’ll mean pencil ear doesn’t get fired even though everybody knows he still should cuz that’s how the lions franchise rolls

This could be it. I feel like I win either way!

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Pressure with the front 4??

What kind of shenanigans is this?

 

[gotime909]

Just keep running Peterson

 

[gotime909]

Waited waaaaaaay to long to hit golladay. Heard footsteps

 

[boogerlovejoy]

[boogerlovejoy]

Very similar, but Slay was stickier

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Very similar, but Slay was stickier

Ohhhhh.....not sure. Slay was all around terrible his rookie year.

 

[kdp1980]

God I hope they give someone else some carries today.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

All this pressure.....who’s calling plays?
