Montgomery stopped just short of the goal line.
Going jumbo on 3rd down
December 24th, 2023 at 1:14 PM ^
Touchdown Detroit
7-0
December 24th, 2023 at 1:16 PM ^
Dear OP,
It would be the Lions first Division* title since 1993.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:18 PM ^
Apologies
December 24th, 2023 at 1:20 PM ^
Another week, another awful defensive performance. Glenn needs to be gone.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:21 PM ^
We're playing meaningful football on December for the first time in forever and you show up to piss and moan...
December 24th, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
Who gives a shit about meaningful football in December? I want to win the division and playoff games.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:28 PM ^
The Lions defense—which has sucked for months now with no changes—is blowing a chance to win the division for the first time in forever by making Nick Mullins look like Aaron Rodgers. You bet I’m going to piss and moan about that.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:59 PM ^
LOL, it's what you do.
December 24th, 2023 at 6:45 PM ^
Is the defense really on Glenn at this point, or is it on Holmes?
Of you can't get home with 4 then you have to put the defense in further conflict. Defense needs upgrades... Maybe if Gardner-Johnson and Houston get healthy and can contribute I'll feel differently.
The offense has to win games for us. That's why it's important for us to have the 2 seed.
December 24th, 2023 at 2:54 PM ^
Knowing that’s we get to play in a meaningful December game, makes me not even care about the easy 14 points that the Vikings scored in the last four minutes.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:23 PM ^
Nick ……..Mullens? ……… Is about to carve up this defense with Glenn calling the shots
December 24th, 2023 at 1:21 PM ^
Part of me wants to give up 50 points, just so they fire Aaron Glenn
December 24th, 2023 at 2:11 PM ^
Seems logical.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:22 PM ^
Lions defense is still a liability! It would not surprise me if they choke and lose the division to the Vikings!
December 24th, 2023 at 1:22 PM ^
You shut your whore mouth
December 24th, 2023 at 1:25 PM ^
I might be going out in a limb here but if you’re getting carved up by Nick Mullens, you might need some help in the secondary.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
Knew as soon as Branch dropped that Minn would score.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:31 PM ^
Lions defense can't make plays, except for the other team. Secondary is horrible!
December 24th, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
Welp, the offense better keep scoring TDs, or this game will be over.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
That’s what you get when you give them unlimited downs inside the 10
December 24th, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
Branch needs to be sent packing. Such a liability.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:29 PM ^
Odds are, even if the Lions lose the remainder of their games, they will still back into the playoffs. A poor defense will make Detroit a one and done team if they make the playoffs.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:37 PM ^
Not sure why someone would downvote that as it's simply what this team is right now. The offense can play with anyone, the defense is bad.
I think they're in the playoffs regardless but I'm not sure their defense can keep them in games in the playoffs. Maybe returning injuries can bolster them.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:41 PM ^
Who cares about simply making the playoffs? If the Lions lose 3-straight to end the season and lose what would have been their first division championship in 30 years, losing a home playoff game in the process, then it’s a failed season.
December 24th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
I mean, I get it. We all want the playoff win.
But to call a season for a team that hasn't even been to the playoffs in seven years and hasn't won their division in 30 — yes, thirty̆ — in which they do both a "failure" seems harsh, to me.
(Still. It would be awesome if they won a playoff game, no doubt).
December 24th, 2023 at 1:32 PM ^
2 plays and a commercial...
December 24th, 2023 at 1:32 PM ^
Imploding as usual!
December 24th, 2023 at 1:33 PM ^
Lions may be in a position where they need Green Bay to win the division for them. Not sure how this Lion defense slows down their passing game even with Nick Mullens at QB. You gotta get at him but I'm not sure Detroit can without sacrificing some coverage against one of the league's best WR trios and Hock.
And fumbling after a big gain won't help you in your efforts. It may unfortunately be up to Green Bay to do it.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:33 PM ^
Lions are going to lose today, lose at Dallas, and then lose the season finale and miss the playoffs.
I've seen this movie before.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:41 PM ^
They'll almost certainly be in. I think it's something like 70% even if they lose out.
The issue will be staying longer than a game. They'd probably draw either Philly or Dallasz depending on that division finish. Away game at either would suck for Detroit.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:42 PM ^
vlady, i'll bet you $1 that the lions make the playoffs.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:33 PM ^
I can't take wasting my time watching this team. See Ya Later!
December 24th, 2023 at 2:07 PM ^
Thanks God you are leaving! Such a f-ing negative Nancy!
December 24th, 2023 at 2:13 PM ^
You're not a commercial flight....no need to announce your departure.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:36 PM ^
Not a fumble
December 24th, 2023 at 1:38 PM ^
Shoulda dropped the pic but good stop for the Lions.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:42 PM ^
Yeah, that was a 20 yard punt
December 24th, 2023 at 1:38 PM ^
Oh, now Branch intercepts it.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:39 PM ^
Why would you intercept that? Knock it down and save the field position.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:41 PM ^
I see the game thread for lions game is just as bad as the one for Michigan games.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:42 PM ^
Lions dont have a chance today if they lose the turnover battle...(shocking analysis I know). I'm already prepared to see Mullins throw for 300+ today too...
Edit: as im writing this he throws the pick so at least there is that. Hopefully the gifted INT Branch dropped in the endzone doesnt come back to haunt them...
December 24th, 2023 at 1:44 PM ^
Vilma is an awful announcer.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:49 PM ^
That’s a fumb…hmm.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:49 PM ^
Brian Branch has it
December 24th, 2023 at 1:51 PM ^
lions defense might not be great, but they have played much better than most are giving them credit for. last week - very good. week before gave up 28 pts, but the offense was giving up the ball repeatedly. this week, so far, one bad drive and have since shut the vikes down.
they aren't going to shut anyone out, but they aren't complete garbage, either.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:55 PM ^
Great awareness, Campbell. Well this drive is done barring a miracle.
December 24th, 2023 at 1:55 PM ^
And there’s that miracle!
