The Quest Continues. Playoff Game Day Thread. Commanders at Lions. 1/18/25

Similar to Lions vs Texans. Turnovers and poor 1st half defense resulted in this. -3 turnover margin… awful.

Lions were down 23-7 to the Texans… so hopefully it doesn’t get worse and the Lions defense steps up on the first possession to open the 2nd half.

If they score in the opening drive you can go to bed early

Long story short, defense has to do something, and Goff needs to stop turning the ball over.

Can they do that? Yes. Will they? I dunno.

Entire game changed on that 3rd and 1 that resulted in a turnover. A shootout was expected but if the Lions had the league going up 14-3, it would had changed the game. Now the wheels have fallen out and look very similar to Buffalo.

[mason reese]

OMG, no long throws.

Kindda feel like some of that last one was on jamo. He drifted to the back of the endzone instead of going to the ball, letting the corner undercut him

[Sanders Fan]

If they had to choose between Teddy and Goff seeing three of every receiver they would put concussed Goff out there and tell him to throw to the one in the middle.

Gotta get the jared goff chant cooking.

[froot loops]

The defensive line has got to play better, a total no show so far.

Yes. This is Buffalo all over again. No matter what the offense does they'll be at least one touchdown behind the rest of the game. They have to get 3 stops to get ahead. I don't see that happening

[Meano.Culpa]

If the Lions do pull this out, who plays DB in the next game?

Robertson off to the hospital for the arm injury. Looks broken.

Moseley can’t come back from NFI. Rakestraw? Davis?

[chemiclord]

Alrighty defense, it's time to do SOMETHING.

[Sanders Fan]

Disgusting start.

[froot loops]

It's like they haven't ever seen a read option

[chemiclord]

Something that isn't giving up a 12-yard run.

[The Ken]

A stop is nice

[Sanders Fan]

Finally got a stop.

[CGVT]

There's a stop.

Watch the fake
