Game 15: Lions @ Falcons Thread

[zyxt9]

Perfect game. Competitive, can say they would have won with starting QB (yes you read that right) yet still lose another close game


Next year they will be over .500. Been saying it a year, still looks very promising.

Stafford with 3 ints.

Jags down 2.

Hou up double digits!

Sadly they still are going to win. Minnesota is so terrible on offense.

 

[mhughes0021]

Lawrence will have 1:47 to try to win it.

Lawrence runs to the 5!

4th n goal on the 1. Jags score we get the 1st pick back.

Incomplete with a flag. On jags.

Jags lose.

Jags can't line up correct lol... look more unorganized the the lions in week 4.

Jags QB knee on 3rd down was stupid

 

[dtroitlionsfan951]

Lol jags looked super unmotivated down their near the end zone. They aren?t giving up that first pick. Also running the ball on 1st and 10 with 50 seconds left around the 35. Well, let?s hope we get second.

Lol it was planned man.

Lol it was planned man.

But it was stupid. They had the time just a wasted down.

They tanked on purpose

Now I get ya.

Almost guaranteed 2nd. Houston and jets both won and they're aren't any other 3 win teams. We can still win a game and not lose any position. It's clear Jax isn't going to win a game so we aren't moving up either.

Bears and giants are in full gone to shit mode. Today was a key loss not to catch up with them....I don't see either of those teams winning again.

Bears tie it up with a minute left. Against the Seahawks who are equally as shitty. Take the lead with a 2pt! 1 min left for super hero Wilson.... who's been terrible.

 

[mhughes0021]

Wilson Air mails it for the loss. Bears win secures us a top 3 pick.

 

[zyxt9]

There are many teams in far worse situations than the Lions currently.

Lions have a coaching staff doing unbelievable things, and have complete player buy-in.

Not only will they be over .500 next year, I'm legit thinking they will be in the playoffs.

Games to follow for the draft position this week

Generally speaking - a Lions win could potentially push them back to 4, a loss guarantees a top 6 pick

Jacksonville @ NY Jets - Jags keep 1st pick with a loss, but helps Lions stay near the top due to Jets win. Jags win gives Lions a better chance at 1st pick though

LA Chargers @ Houston - need Houston to win

Chicago @ Seattle - Seattle win guarantees Lions a top 7 pick. Chicago win and Detroit loss guarantees the Lions a top 5 pick

NY Giants @ Philadelphia - need Giants to win

Tampa Bay @ Carolina - Carolina win guarantees the Lions a top 7 pick

Lions guaranteed a top 5 pick now. One more loss guarantees a top 2 pick.


Remaining games:

Jags - @ NE, vs Indy
Lions - @ Seattle, vs GB
Texans - @ SF, vs Tennessee
Jets - vs TB, @ Buffalo
Giants - @ Chicago, vs Washington
