After last years NFC Championship game, do Lion players/coaches feel any lead is safe? As someone else pointed out, the roster isn't big enough to rest every important player. I would rest Gibbs for sure, maybe Sewell too. And Goff. And Sun God...where does it end? 😅😅
Agreed. Revenge....and resting players? We all have our opinions but the only one that matters in MCDC's. Play them all game and let chips fall where they may. I just feel injuries have already ruined this season. But just wait until next year, we'll be back better than ever. And Hutch may win comeback player of the year.
I'm in the Championship in my FF, with Goff as my QB and with Jaymo and Bates. So I want them to play but in a perfect world, we score in our first 3 or 4 drives and get the main guys out. The game does have meaning, a win would allow us to win the division by tying the Vikings. A loss and the Vikings get the division with a tie. At least, I think?
Yeah, that could actually make a difference. If we lose to SF, the Vikings would win the division, and the bye, with a win OR tie. After we beat SF, the Lions would win the division, and the bye, with a win or tie.
You're not saying they shouldn't protect the starters, you're just saying Dan Campbell won't rest them. I agree he won't but I would, and he doesn't play them at all in the preseason.
The NFL will have good ratings next week for Vikings at Lions. Just like they wanted. Almost as good as a playoff match up against out former QB last season.
SOL thru history; the NFL will want the Minnesota -Detroit game to be big for ratings. They'll either make sure the Vikings win or Detroit loses. The NFL is a (big) business and businesses need to make money. Screw the Lions, they don't matter
Since the Lions are going to a Super Bowl, nows our chance!
