Cant see them doing much here. Could be a blowout.

The Lions played good during the second half against the 49ers and the first half against the Packers... two halves makes a whole. We're getting two quarters a game with Goff. Stafford is +1 on his "forth quarter heroics" with the Rams against the Colts.

Both of the games that the Ravens played was like watching Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers going head to head back in the day. The Ravens high powered offense against the Lions defense, I don't believe they have the ability to stop 'em.

That looked close to not being backward pass after looking at the replay. Terrible decision though.

4th and 19 from their own 16 yard line with 30 seconds left and no timeouts and still losing is the ultimate Lions move.

Wow. Refs miss the time clock running out on the last play and Ravens get to kick a FG 5 yards shorter for the win.

Gotta rush 4 on that play. Cant give a QB 10 seconds to find a receiver.

I assume the Lions would miss their FG attempt.


When they didn’t, I had to scrambled to come up with a way they would lose. And they still surprised me.

I would say they were just covering their bases, making sure they lose a game every single way they can possibly lose a game. But this is at least the 3rd time they've lost by a walk off 'longest field goal in NFL history'

Yeah bad time to go to a prevent after they'd bottled him up for 3 plays. Never should have just handed him that much time.

Much better effort though but they should have lost by 12. Brown dropped 2 easy TDs.

Bad D call on 4th down. Blown coverage. Missed call by the refs and then an NFL record FG. All pretty standard stuff for them. But they usually don't put it all together like that. The ball bouncing off the crossbar and through was a nice touch.

I am fine with it. We are not contending for anything this year so it wont matter. Would have been worse if it cost us a playoff spot like in previous seasons.

Still sucked. I turned it off at halftime. When I turned it back on they were just cutting to to 3, so there must have been some upside.

I missed the bounce of the crossbar in real time.


Had accepted the loss and was out the door to smoke about a second after the ball left Tuckers foot.

We might have back to back picks at the end of the first top of the second round.

For any other QB I agree, but I'm actually fine with that call. Lamar is a better runner than passer, and better scrambling than from the pocket. You gotta pick your poison. I'd rather make Lamar Jackson beat me from the pocket rather than force him to scramble.

Happy for Tuck to have the record here. Better than the alcoholic who was kicking in moon air.

Keep a spy no doubt but rush 4. Keep 3 guys 15 yards back and 3 guys 25 yards back. Any nfl qb given enough time can find an open guy 20 yards down field.

I am not sure why Marlowe and Harris are getting more snaps at safety than Walker. I am also not shocked the 4th and 19 conversion happened on a Will Harris mistake.
