If Detroit wins this week, do they have anything to play for next week?

Playoff position. 5v6 seed.

They still have a chance to move into the 5th seed instead of the 6th seed which means they would have a very winnable game in the first round against Dallas or New York.

 

[BobbyLayne]

tremendous effort today - great stand there!

wow what a great win for the franchise

 

[lazyike]

Mathews open as the check down but Rivers not looking his way at all.

You sure that was Mathews? I never saw him in on that set of downs.

 

[BobbyLayne]

9/11 on 3rd down

Oh hell yes!

 

[GoBirds]

Guess Stafford was a decent pick in the 10/11th round this year....championship.

Mathews 7.1 pts is killing you?

 

[GregR]

Just flipped over to the game. On that crossing route by Floyd, Gates looked like he was barely jogging, and then same thing a play or two later, he came off the line jogging. Did Gates get injured or something? Or always the possibility of his plantar fascitis acting up.

Mathews was in on the set of downs before the goal line set

 

[BobbyLayne]

gotta say two groups who needed to step up big today, did: the O-line and the DBs

great, great win

 

[jon_mx]

The DB's were suppose to be the weak link this year, but people underestimated them. I said pre-season they would be solid.

As long as no one throws at Eric Wright.

they've been decent (considering the injuries - they often have only 5 or 6 semi-healthy bodies).but signing Tulloch was the key to any success the D had this year

Congrats Lions fans!!!!

 

[BobbyLayne]

Dominant performance today - against the hottest team in the NFL to boot. That's a fantastic way to clinch!

 

[Native]

whats a good Lions message board?

 

[Hendo]

Is it safe to say the Lions have arrived

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

At least Mathews got a few garbage points at the end

 

[Ladsud]

Nightmare over

 

[teamramrod]

Yes.

Playoffs.

Peace

 

[goonsquad]

Thanks, man. Long time coming. Watched the game with my Uncle who actually went to the NFL title game in 1957 - it was pretty sweet whupping it up with my cousins and other family members. Stafford and Megatron were awesome per usual, but it was really great to see the DBs play so solid.

 

[kegger]

Beautifully played game by the Lions today!

Can't wait to see what happens in the PLAYOFFS!
