Wildcard Game Thread

[THEHEREAFTER]

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.

Ever heard of Zach Zenner? He leaves it all on the field!!

Today's games have been awful. I'm hoping that Miami has a pulse tomorrow, maybe they can beat the Steelers....

I think that's the upset this weekend. They can pound the rock. If the good Matt Moore shows up even better.

But Stafford is the man in 4th quarter and final drives, always has been. If Lions are within a score of winning, Stafford has a decent chance.

Well, I don't think it took Nostradamus to predict the Seahawks would win. We were just hoping, and still are at 10-3.

They only complain when they play Dallas.

Yeah lol, but interestingly the refs haven't been so bad against the boys as in years past, still leave allot to be desired across the league though

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

They're used to it. They'll just pop a tape in from the last time the Lions lost a playoff game.

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.

Personally I don't think Dak likes to run. He's a pass first QB in the mold of Big Ben. Dude would rather stand in the pocket and sling it. Uses his feet when he has to. That's probably why he doesn't take a lot of big hits.

Seahawks have an ad for clean tackling??? LOL

I hope you're right, but I don't see the Dolphins doing well in snow/cold and the Steelers are tough to beat at home. Pittsburgh will load the box and make Moore beat them. Who wouldn't?

I think he's already left it all on the field.

The Lions complained in 2014 and Dez Bryant's catch wasn't a catch the following week...hmmm...

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

Houston won't score. Book it.

Allowing 10 points in a half isn't terrible, but their offense hasn't done anything.

Rawls looks like Tony Dorsett out there. 100+ at the half? That won't get it done. I expect Seattle to pound them into submission in the 2nd half.

Not sure if Hou gets in NE territory

They have Betamax?

Uh, no. Not Tony Dorsett.

he hasnt showed up in the 2nd half yet so you might be right

 

[robbieruff]

Nice tackle finally.

I wasn't making a prediction, I was making an observation. Seattle scored 10 points. That's not terrible defense. Perhaps their offense should score a touchdown, or two?

Of course if Rawls keeps running on them the Lions won't win. I figured that was obvious.
