[Motor City Sonics]

Great, Touchdown Minnesota,  so the Coach Kneecap will keep his starters in even longer now.

That’s the most Calvin Johnson catch I’ve seen since Calvin Johnson. Not even reviewed.

That was my exact thought. 

[TP_Fan]

Lions against elite receivers isn’t fair.  Consistently setting career marks.  9 catches for 147 with a quarter to go.  Single coverage with no safety help against the best WR in the league.  What are we even doing 

[Motor City Sonics]

Remember earlier this season we thought Brian Branch had a serious injury and he was fine.     You never know.  

[Motor City Sonics]

Goff's about to get hurt

Campbell just being stubborn now. Branch came back in. Puts st brown back in. Leaving all the starters with the injuries piling up.  This is wreckless coaching right now.  Chances of winning a playoff game severely diminished after today.  

Severely diminished. It was like a 10% chance of getting the 2 seed but Campbell is aggressive by nature so this is the downside of it. Now they lost arguably their most important offensive catalyst outside of Goff of course on a team that almost completely depends on their offense to win games.

[Motown Bombers]

Why is everyone concerned about Goff? With Ben Johnson you can just plug in any QB and be fine.

I said it right as it happened. Not a process thought when it happens against us though.

[Motor City Sonics]

Who is #45?  Is that Cabinda?   Is he back?    I am guessing they'd use him at TE if they don't have LaPorta or Brock Wright.

I truly believe the Lions are a .500 team without LaPorta. I can't see how they win more than one playoff game now and if they draw the Rams, that's likely a loss. He's been THAT important to them this season.

Don't agree.

Well, I remember when they traded TJ and they actually got more effective at using the TE position.   But that involved Brock Wright, who is out. 

But is St. Brown still out there after clutching his ribs twice in three plays the last drive?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Campbell going for the win it appears and will not be sitting starters. HE HAS TO get them out now.

[Motor City Sonics]

Wow, what a play by the NON All-Pro. 

 

OKAY, NOW SIT EVERYONE !

[KnoxP]

Thought ASB was hurt?

 

[TP_Fan]

Ok. Now sit the starters. Please. 

[buddha]

now can we take the starters out?

[RandyMarsh]

Yeah I think St. Brown is fine.

[Motor City Sonics]

You have nothing to prove now.     It's all in the hands of the Giants and Commanders now.    Just be smarter here. 

[Toddwert]

St. Brown is a beast .... Probably my favorite Lion

[Jason_R]

Yeah but that Goff TD pass was only 30 air yards. 

[Motor City Sonics]

What was the play of the season? 

 

To me there are two that stand out

@ KC  - Brian Branch Pick-6

@ TB  - Craig Reynold's epic block

[number20]

St. Brown reminds me so much of Golden Tate after he catches the ball
