What a cluster that was.

That two minute offense was ugly but effective. That long pass to DJ Moore is not a common pass route in a two minute offense.

One step closer to the Lions vs Stafford homecoming Rams in the playoffs if things go right with this shakeup with a Vikings loss and if the Rams keep winning there’s a good chance we may see them in the 1st round

Right now, we need to get the offense back on track, and get the defense to where it isn't an embarrassment like it has been since the Baltimore game (outside of the Raiders game).

Having the weekend off after the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers, and having Dan Campbell, Ben Johnson, and Aaron Glenn time to scheme against the New Orleans Saints for our next game this Sunday, we'll see whether Dan Campbell and Company can get the team back on the right track with 6 games left in the Regular Season, 3 of them Division ones (Chicago and the 2 Minnesota Vikings games).

Clete Blakeman can’t help himself to ref a game full of weird crap and controversies.

Also, the Daron Bland situation reminds me of Alphonso Smith in Detroit. A stretch of several INTs. Then a game where an opponent exposed the CB. The Patriots did that to Smith a decade ago.

Oh enough of this flag riddled game.

I'm sad that Dallas won, but happy that Seattle lost.

So, lose/win?

Seattle is just a bad matchup for the Lions, but really not that good of a team.....They will have to rally just to make the playoffs most likely....Lions just need to focus on their own games.....THey should have lost last 2, they really need to worry about themsevles, not anyone else.

I can see the Eagles crushing the 49ers again.

Eagles should have lost to Buffalo last week...needed a 59 yard FG (something the Lions wont do this this year) just to make it to OT.

On the to-do list for the next offseason/NFL Draft: Besides help for Hutchinson and some depth on the O-Line and maybe a corner or two, we definitely need a kicker that can at least make a 50+ yard Field Goal without much effort.

Riley Patterson simply doesn't have the leg for it, and I don't know if he ever will.

Lions don’t get their shit right, Dallas is going to boat race them in prime time.

Patterson looks to have a reliable range (for a given value of "reliable," even the best placekickers aren't exactly hitting much better than 50% from that distance) of about 53-54 from what he's shown this year. That's... actually fine enough. The Lions don't need him to be Justin Tucker. They just need him to be able to hit from that range if necessary.

The Seahawks put up 35 on a pretty good Cowboys D.

[ghandi]

Didnt realize there were so many penalties in that Seahawks-Cowboys game

25 called penalties (19 accepted) for 257 yards (most in NFL this season)....we always hope it gets better, yet every year the rulebook gets thicker and thicker.
