Detroit Lions 2023

[Mike]

Not gonna happen.

I know it is far from likely, but things at least get interesting if Detroit and Baltimore both win next weekend.

Not really, not unless Miami also wins and Philly goes down to the Giants. (moldyoldie is correct, we would actually need both of those to be able to move.)

This is not correct. According to the NYT Playoff scenario generator, the Lions get a bye if they win out and SF loses any 2 of their 3 remaining games, regardless of what Philly and Dallas do. The Cowboys and Eagles are completely irrelevant to Detroit's path to a bye.

Well, the Cowboys definitely have an influence on the Lions playoff seeding if the Cowboys win their matchup!

And...Seattle wins tonight. Because of course they do.

There's my team... Lock had an amazing last minute.

Wasn't the story that you gave Cortez Kennedy a rim job in a downtown Seattle Starbucks back in '92 and you've been a fan ever since?

Huh, in '92 I was a Broncos fans. I wasn't in Seattle in '92. Maybe confusing me with your special Uncle?

Don't count on the Bucs helping the Lions out by winning at Lambeau.

I can't ever root for the evil empire Packers I hate that porn chant as well America wins when the Packers lose.

All I want for Christmas is the NFC North Championship & getting that playoff berth I hope that the Lions don't have to play the Vikings 3 out of 4 weeks keep losing Vikings and tie with the Packers in week 17. The Eagles are limping into the playoffs they will sweep the Giants which will not prove anything in my opinion they'll be out in the Wild Card or second round.

Let's get the NFC North today!

God I hope so… 30 years is too long.. and actually… we ran out of chances to get that again after 2000 technically. So let’s get out first!

White out in Minny so Lions will be wearing all Honolulu blue today.

The blue always looks better anyways.

We blow a turnover and give up a turnover. I call that a -2.

(Edit)
Make that -1.

Goff had Gibbs standing alone with a mile to run forever and only threw it in his direction once there were Vikings down there… c’mon man…

[moldyoldie]

That speed outside by Gibbs is special!

[moldyoldie]

Hockensen and Addison both out... can't hurt. Getting an extra point blocked may be a spread beater.

(Edit)
Vikings also now missing three starters on defense, they looked spent on that last drive. Lions up 30-21 in the fourth.

(Edit)
C'mon boys, WAKE UP! This game ain't over!

What an epic disaster that most recent offensive position was. Minnesota is the House of Horrors for this team. To take a delay of game when you have all three timeouts is inexcusable. The ensuing play calls were non-sensical.
