Well, 10-3, not a complete nightmare considering how horrible Lions WR's have looked (and playcalling rivaling Garrett's lower moments).

Still preparing myself for either the Pack or NY.

Pressure busts pipes. Lets hope our guys come out swinging and not scared.

Yes and no. Pressure does "bust pipes" but Ebron has been dropping balls like this since day ONE. He drives the team and fans nuts. Big potential but hands of stone.

Not sure why we some need to defend Dak or Zeke, they lead the team to a 13-3 record...sorry for some that we didn't trade a boatload of picks for Wentz. I saw last we how great Wentz was, he was fantastic against our 2nd and 3rd stringers...oh wait...

Let's not forget the Lions came into the playoffs on a 3 game losing streak, backing in. That usually signals a struggle. They have time to get back in this and win it. For me, this is the playoffs...whichever team that wins is the tougher opponent than the team that lost...forget the records and regular season. The winning team is usually the better team at playoff time.

Every play off team starts off 0-0.

Yeah they are lucky to still be in this as bad as they have played so I think they have a shot even though earlier I picked the Hawks but both teams really suck tonite could be anyones game

So you're saying he's the Roberto Duran of tight ends?

Every time I watch the lions I swear they remind me of the Commanders .. they ARE the Commanders of the north

Bad tackling
Bad clock management

Living in Lions country should be interesting on local sports radio if the lions lose.

Detroit does not complain enough about penalties, that gets more calls than doing nothing especially if the ref is on the fence about the call

Technically that's true, but the Lions are a 6 seed for reasons and they haven't won a game in about a month.

As for the running QB debate...duh....Seattle runs a lot of read option. We don't. Dak is the bigger, sturdier player, but Wilson is clearly quicker and more athletic. So what? Our QB has had a much better season, and that's not debatable.

Why do the locals really feel like they're going to win? I think it might happen but would it be a "devastating" loss?

They only complain when they play Dallas.

Its Amazing the lions are only down by 7 after making so many mistakes.

I said it all week. This is the LIONS guys. This is what they DO. This game won't be close in the end. They are soft physically and mentally....as usual.

Rodney Harrison keeping it real. Said Texans have no chance next week!

Because Seattle's nothing special.

True and it does show how weak the Seahags really are. Should be 20-3.

That would be true IF their D wasn't as good as it is. Wait...Osweiler? Yeah, it's true!
