I just don’t get why the Lions are so injury prone. At this point it’s beyond bad luck.

Williams had a nice game. Why was he wearing a mask that cover his mouth and nose indoors? Seems like it would be tough to breath and get air intake.

I'd never seen that before, but I have noticed more and more guys wearing those balaclavas, which you would normally associate with cold weather, in dome games. I don't get that at all

Wasn't Lamb or Pickens doing it as well? I thought it was weird.

Unheard of.

The secondary has been decimated. Rakestraw did not make it a week in camp and out for year, Arnold out for the year, Branch out for the year, Joseph been out for 9 games and possibly out for year, Reed has missed half the season, Harper got knocked out last night.

Last night was a good win that makes me feel slightly better, but still doesn't really alter my view that this year's team doesn't really have it. If they can go into LA next week and beat the Rams, then I'll really start believing. But the injuries last night, especially Branch, are extremely worrisome.

I do see a path to the playoffs now at least. We probably need GB to beat Chicago this week, but whoever wins that game, we want to see them win the rematch in two weeks as well. That would pretty much lock up the division and put the losing team in a tough spot. The reason it would be better if Chicago lost those games is that Lions face them in Week 18

Agreed, having either GB or CHI go 2-0 in there games is probably best case. Splitting opens the hardest road for the Lions.

Robert Mays from The Athletic made a good point on their post-game wrap-up show: The common thread among all the Lions' losses this year is that they've come against good defenses. Doesn't bode well for LA next week, or for the playoffs

This has been my concern. They hung 44 on Washington and Dallas, but the OL isn't as good as the last two years and they don't have answers for teams that can get consistent pressure.

I know overall the Dallas defense hasn't been good, but since the trade deadline they have been pretty solid. Maybe there is some hope.

On the prime broadcast last night it was mentioned that the Lions led the NFL last year in games lost to injuries and that they were leading the league again this year.
Now I hope I heard this right because it was a quick comment that wasn't followed up.
If so for two years it strongly suggests that there is something occurring with the Lions contributing to this problem.

It's a joy watching the best RB on the game at his finest. What an electric runner in the open field.
