nice play by Grennard

good on good

 

[Desert_Power]

Vikes should be wearing their alternate white unis/pants for this.

 

[mr roboto]

Wow lions go very run heavy. Surprising.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Gibbs is ridiculous.

Has anyone done a wellness check on @BobbyLayne? I’m a bit concerned about carpel tunnel.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Wow lions go very run heavy. Surprising.

I’m more than irritated by that.

I want points. Lots and lots of points.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Every drive the Vikings can force a punt is a major win for them and shortens the game
Huge to get off the field without much damage on the Lions first drive

 

[dmac37]

I think if they gained a few yards they were planning to go for it on 4th

 

[JoeJoe88]

Lions unis are horrid

Really? I love them

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Verizon can skip bringing the SuperBowl to San Francisco this year.

 

[Zeppelin]

Jack Fox doing Jack Fox things.

 

[Wingnut]

The O/U just went from 58 to 53

 

[jon_mx]

The O/U just went from 58 to 53

The Lions just exceeded the over/under on punts

 

[BobbyLayne]

50 net for Mr Jack Fox (1st in overall & net avg)

think he needs at least 3 punts at 53 net avg to set an NFL net punting average record

(unlikely and obscure)

 

[Ministry of Pain]

All right, the Jeff Daniels thing seemed dumb, at first. But that’s a helluva hype video

I was surprised to see who he's married to
My wife was watching her on the red carpet a little while ago

 

[rockaction]

Man Jack Campbell can just flat out move.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I think if they gained a few yards they were planning to go for it on 4th

I agree, but I still hate the play call.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Sam Darnold is the truth.

I don’t care what he does from here - he’s playing a very high level of football. Makes his reads, can throw to every level with touch & accuracy, looks off the receiver - just really sound quarterback play.

Jets & Browns are cursed franchises. This kid can play.

As a Lion fan I'm glad they lost yards for that reason

 

[Zeppelin]

Huge early stop for the Lions D.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

My fault guys - I jinxed him. My bad.

What teams beat the Lions and Vikings this year?

Bucs and Bills for the Lions

Rams and Lions for the Vikings

@Grahamburn i hadn’t thought of it till now. But quite interesting that the two wild card teams in the nfc toppled two of the leaders fighting for the 1 seed.

One of the main reasons the Bucs have been able to beat big physical teams like the Lions/Eagles is they're one of the few defenses that still emphasize stopping the run. Philly and Detroit just bludgeon teams with their running games and then play-action you to death. You can't do that to Vita Vea and Bowles' because he specifically commits extra players to it. That's why teams who dink/dunk over the middle of the field torch them sometimes.

It works against teams that are stubborn with their run game.

The Eagles weren't healthy on offense when they played the Bucs. This season they were without Lane Johnson, AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. Barkley still ran for 84 yards on 10 carries. That game in week 4 had more to do with the Eagles not being healthy than anything the Bucs defense did on defense.

What about the other games Bowles made Hurts’ his little baby?

No AJ Brown in the playoff game last year, but that version of the Eagles were crumbling because the defense was in shambles. But when the Eagles were full strength in the regular season in 2023, Eagles dominated the Bucs and beat them by 2 scores.

Hope there aren’t any more excuses in a couple weeks.

You're forgetting the other playoff games where it was Arians who blew the doors off of Jalen Hurts.

But Tampa needs to get healthy or they going home.

Doubly worse for the Browns because they also had Baker Mayfield.

Horrid. They should never not wear Honolulu blue and silver as their primary colors.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Huge early stop for the Lions D.

haven’t had one all year





granted it’s only been 5 days

 

[Mt. Man]

Schedule release. Loser tonight plays Monday Night.

 

[rockaction]

I hope they lose this game so they aren't tempted to wear these abominations again.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Are we ret-conning Darnold's career to include Cleveland?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Laporta had a nice December

 

[BobbyLayne]

St Brown

 

[rockaction]

Montgomery is a tough, tough man who I was tempted to use my first to try and acquire. He's become easily worth that.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

btw, if anyone wants a cheap ($20) postseason contest a RL friend of mine runs a fun one. On MFL, payouts through leaguesafe.

There’s room for ~30 more I think?

I’ve been in it 2 years now.

Well they are t calling holding today

I would not sell him for a 1st.

I was super lucky - I bought in SF with Carr + extras going into year 2 when many were skeptical that his breakout was real.

But yeah, no way I sell him for a 1st now. Not a chance. If I were rebuilding I’d want 2, and one of them better be early.

Huh?

 

[BobbyLayne]

kid called me into their room

Dan Campbell called timeout

coincidence? think not

 

[JoeJoe88]

Horrid. They should never not wear Honolulu blue and silver as their primary colors.

Maybe that’s why I like these so much, their normal colors are some of my least favorite in the league lol

Oh snap - after my trade today Darnold + Mayfield are my 2 starters in a SF league.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

No Monty is going to kill the Lions

 

[mr roboto]

Thank you.

 

[rockaction]

Go go go go go go

 

[jon_mx]

What a play by Goff

 

[BobbyLayne]

HIT ‘em with THE WAMO

 

[rockaction]

Nice. Goff hangs in there and delivers.

 

[mr roboto]

Detroit is good

 

[Zeppelin]

No question you go for it.

 

[Mt. Man]

Gibbs!!

 

[jon_mx]

What a play by Gibbs.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Goff took that shot but got the first. Exactly what I wanted out of this game. But preferably more for the Vikings.

 

[BobbyLayne]

TD Jah

one away from the league lead

ties Barry for season record

 

[ProstheticRGK]

No Monty is going to kill the Lions

You sure about that?
