Playoffs!? The Lions are in the playoffs?
The Lions are in the Playoffs!

It's been approx 25 years and 2 days since the Lions last won a playoff game

Let's put an end to that horrible streak today at least. can we do that?
 
The defense has to create a couple turnovers today and Stafford has to be near perfect. We need some big plays today! Can't miss the open guy down the sideline, someone needs to break a tackle, return a kick, etc. Play with some fire and urgency. Open up the play book. Do something and win a game you are not supposed to win. Step up! It would be nice if Tate wanted to still seek revenge on his old team and Marvin Jones pretended it was week 2 or 3.

Lions are 0-5 against playoff teams this year and 0-5 against the spread against those same teams. I was a high school kid during our last playoff victory and now I'm an old man.

I hate picking against my team but I don't see any way for the Lions to win this game. At one point, Seattle will be up 20-0 or 21-3 or something like that. We will crawl back to within a score but Seattle will put it away early in the 4th.

30-17 Seahawks

Hope I'm wrong.
 
Lions will have chances for turnovers, bet Quinn gets a pick today

And our corners need to turn their heads once in a while and look for the football.

With the noise in that stadium I'm worried about false start penalties on the offense. We can't afford to be in 3rd and long over and over today.
 
What the hell is PFT's problem with the Lions? First they mention in an article that the Lions didn't beat a playoff team all year. That idea prompts them to write an article and give each playoff teams record against other playoff teams so that they could once again point out that the Lions haven't beaten a playoff team. Then they write an entirely separate article completely dedicated to how the Lions didn't beat a playoff team. Now they have an article about how the Lions are a playoff team and only received two all pro votes. I sure hope all this negative publicity gets the players fired up.

Stafford and the lions do it to themselves. Theres an easy way to stay away from all that negative publicity. Win meaningful games and play well vs good teams. The lions and stafford dont do that....hence we get to see the below stat everytime stafford plays in a meaningful game.

Per ESPN Stats & Info, Matthew Stafford is 1-23 in his career on the road, including playoffs, against teams that finished above .500 -- including 0-4 this season. His only such win came in Week 10 of 2015, at Green Bay.

Neverming consistently beating quality teams.....we NEVER beat quality teams on the road. You just arent a good team when youre 1-23. You are a very very bad team....0 and 4 this year means were just as bad.

1-23 is meaningless. Lions can beat Seattle

The lions have to earn the right to be respected, they haven't done that for years. Maybe today!
