Horrible first half, lucky to be only down 3.

2025 Detroit Lions: 7-4 Giants HC beats Giants..Thank you! (33 Viewers)
- Thread starter Da Guru
- Start date
Like I said earlier, I just want to get a win and avoid injuries.

No, you are actually 100 percent correct. Goff keeps placing it in his hands and it's been an adventure all day. I'm guessing some undisclosed injury.

Gibbs should get the game ball and then cut it in half and give half to Bates.

An idiot decision not to kick a chip shot FG by Giants to go up by 6, then a 59 yarder by Bates that looked wide all the way might have saved the season.
And of course GIBBY helped a little bit!!
Williams and Tessla MIA again. Going to need more production going forward.

Lions were fortunate but unfortunate last week with the phantom DPI penalty that ended the game.

I think the Lions win with a TD if they kick it. That drive goes a lot different if they know they need a touchdown.
The Lions still have the Packers, Rams, Vikings, and Steelers left. Goff isn't going to survive if they don't fix the the pass blocking. He took some huge hits today.

Even though the company script is always one game at a time, that really looked like a look ahead game to me from both the players and coaches. Hopefully all that looking ahead pays off this Thursday in something a lot more cohesive than what we just saw.

Giants blew it big by throwing the ball incomplete on second down. They run it and take 40 more seconds off the clock..then run it again.
Thankfully they totally botched the end of game. If the Lions do anything this year this will be the game that helped. Going 6-5 would have made thing difficult.

Lions may be extremely short on rings but they've had some great RBS. Gibbs being the newest member of the club.

I asked my dad what he thought of Gibbs. He said what Barry was to elusiveness, Jahmyr is to acceleration.

I keep thinking they have the angle on him and they just don't.

There is no angle. Wherever you think he will be, he’s not.

LOL Michael Wilson did something like this today. It wasn't a live ball, but it was a running clock (with less than 30 seconds left) and Arizona trailing by three). Not sure how much time they lost, and there's no way to say what would have happened if he hadn't spun the ball (he immediately realized his mistsake and corraled it). But Cardinals would go on to fail to score a TD on the drive and then lose in OT

You know who else has that and watching him pull away is breathtaking?

Not an impressive win, but it's a win. That's enough, especially with the Pack and the Bears winning.
Lions currently tied for 7th, but will fall out if SF wins (Go Panthers!)
Obviously huge game in 3 days. Beating GB means still having a shot for the division, losing means needing luck to make the playoffs, especially since I can't have much faith that this team can beat the Rams.

As I wrote in the game thread...
If New York had just kicked the Field Goal and taken the points
Must have been such a relief for the Lions to know they didn't have to go the length of the field
Love the thread title for you all this morning but you are not 7-3
Close but 7-4 shows more cracks in the armor thru 11 games or at least makes one pause and ask what is different this season?
I love DC and what he's done, the city has pride, fans have pride, feels like this is here to stay for many more seasons
-Personally, I would turn the page on JAMO, perhaps another RB to push Monty on his way or maybe you all want to milk another year out of him
How can you get 2 Gibbs? Why not have another guy that is explosive in that back field
Goff has reached the Super Bowl, we don't have to bag on him but I think there is a ceiling and perhaps we've seen it already
-I'm just saying it wouldn't hurt to have another option with such a good overall team, any QB would find success in Detroit in my opinion
You should be 6-5 right now but you won and no apologies needed. The Lions have come up on the short end of this same stick many times before DC entered the building
GB, DAL, @LA Rams(it just moved), PIT, @MN, @CHI
Currently 5 of these 6 opponents have strong Playoff aspirations and the Lions are going to see the best from all of them down the stretch
That's not an easy schedule ahead but I bet you all can win 4 or 5 of them. I say 11-6 which might actually put you all on the road to start the Playoffs

It is a different game now. Gibbs is not going to get the same amount of carries Barry got.
How can we argue Gibbs is not as good "per touch" though at the same stage of career
Oops. 7-4 Fixed.
Agree...Lions should be 6-5, but they are 7-4 and could easily be 8-3 as the Philly game was there for the taking but Lions did not take it possibly in part due to coaching decisions too. But this is the NFL not college. The guys on the other side every game are pros. What we think are easy game can be losses in the NFL. Lost one they should have won, won one they should have lost. It happens.
As a former #1 overall pick Winston is very capable at times, as he showed yesterday. Had one INT but thought the Lion defender made a great play on the ball.
If Gibbs hits the second level untouched look out. Feel bad for the guys chasing him. One cut and he is gone.
Agree. I would not have given him an extension.
