Game 9: Lions @ Packers Thread

[cheeno]

We're going to go up 2 scores! Nope... stafford pick.

We're going to go up 2 scores. Nope. ..missed xp.

We're going to win we recovered a fumble. Nope. ..down by contact.

We're going to win they missed their 2 point. Nope. ..cj can't catch.

We're going to lose they're about to kick a game winning fg. We win!

Fml....

Bronze this post for future generations. They must know of the struggle we collectively went through today.

This doesn't have the feeling I thought I would have after finally winning in GB. Kind of a buzz kill.

While it wasn't the circumstances I thought it would be......but I think it feels pretty damn good.....all things considered. Eventually, I will once again realize we are 2-7.....but I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of this one

I know people say all the time they'd like to see CJ traded so he has a chance at a SB but I'd like to see him traded because I just don't think he's as good as he's getting paid. Drops a lot of passes, never picks up YAC and makes stupid plays like staying in bounds instead of going out and stopping the clock. I'd rather have another Golden Tate type receiver but a bit taller.

You trade him now while you can still get something for him. He makes to much to run 7 yard slants all game.

It's nice but I figured to be jumping up and down like when we won a game after 0-16 or finally winning in Washington. It'll feel better at seasons end.. Not having to hear it any longer.

Wait a moment.. Another steak. 0-19 on the road against winning team. Either that means streak is broken or GB finishes .500 or below.

 

[adam86107]

I forgot all about that streak. I don't think it was a winning record at the end of the season I believe it was a current winning record. So that should be another streak broken.

 

[adam86107]

Nevermind maybe it is for the final record.

Final record.

 

[adam86107]

That stat would be kinda obscured. Given that some of those teams may have had winning records if they had not lost to the Lions. I would think the current record is what should matter.

Doesn't really matter. Just basically says we're not very good on the road against good teams.

Am I missing something? Just saw the replay of the blocked/missed FG at the end of the game, and I only count 10 guys on the field for us.

Are we really so incompetent we can't get 11 men on the field correctly?

 

[Mitchrapp]

I see that ESPN is making a big to do about it, not. No surprise.

 

[adam86107]

We're not very good at home either.

The hits keep coming.

 

[adam86107]

Almadola just got tackled by his own guy just before he returned a kickoff for a TD

You are actually surprise

You are actually surprise

Had it been 12 men on the field, a penalty which leads to Crosby re-kicking at getting it dead on the money to win the game for the Packers.... I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. That seems to be a scripted ending for the Lions.

Having too FEW men on the field for the all or nothing win or lose play and still walking away with a W?

Yep, I'm fucking shocked.

Im glad caldwell stupidly burnt his timeouts early. You KNOW he would tried the ice the kicker TO.

 

[motown1958]

I'm glad we won but it never felt like we were going to even after it was over. I'm still waiting for them to say we actually lost. But anyways the losses to Seattle and San Diego loom large. 4-5 instead of 2-7. But this is a team that figured out how to lose and they almost did it again today.

 

[tomdalton22]

I am very disappointed with the end of the game. The correct result was a GB win. Nothing good comes from the Lions winning this game.
