Fields plays QB the way I play Madden. Drop back and run around until someone breaks open. He doesn't read defense well or throws with anticipation.

He isn't being developed properly. Timing routes is something every team should have in their playbook. And just because he has horrible coaches, doesn't mean he couldn't learn. He does have a pretty strong arm (but inaccurate).

The Rams would be 10-7 and Green Bay 9-8,  so yes.    

Then you possibly have New Orleans and Seattle in play if Green Bay loses. Well know the NFC after these 4:00 PM games are over. If I had a choice, I would want to play New Orleans.

If Detroit is the 3 seed, we would play the 6 seed in the 1st round, right? I thought Green Bay would be the 7 seed if they win?

Packers beat the rams. That’s the tiebreaker.   

[Motown Bombers]

This is the issue with Fields. When they need him to be a QB and make throws, he struggles. You take away his run threat and he just isn't that good.

Please, understand, with my pure hatred of Ohio State, I don't like saying he's good, but he's good.      Not sure about Caleb Williams.  Is he a guy that beefs up his stats against cupcakes?   

College stats don’t really matter for NFL projections.  Look at the tape on Caleb Williams and you will see him do things that only a few QB’s alive can do.   The physical skills are off the charts.

The Lions only options are the Rams or Packers since it looks like Dallas will lock up the 2 seed.

Cowboys are up huge. We are the 3 seed. It’s either GB or LA.  Rams down 20-13 and packers up 8 with the ball and 6 mins left.

Only team I am truly scared of is Seattle.   They just have our number.   I think the Lions can actually handle the Rams and Packers

[TP_Fan]

Rams score and take the lead.  If both scores hold it will be the rams.

Rams lead. 

I would have loved the Lions to play Seattle. They haven’t been good all year and are losing to lowly Arizona in a must win game today. They beat the Lions at the Lions” lowest point last year then in OT earlier this year. Big deal.

Why does the process of the catch only apply to the Lions?

The Rams 2pt conversion didn’t complete the “process” either.

I don't want to have to play the Rams. Stafford scares me. When he gets hot...we've all seen what he can do.

Stafford doesn't beat good teams on the road or win playoff games in Detroit.

Even a blind squirrel or something. And a broken analog clock or something.

Green Bay got screwed on a process call, but they won anyway.

You know this is going happen

[lordstanley]

Carson Wentz has rushed 16 times today. 

[lordstanley]

Niners get the ball back with 55 seconds to go. Might come down to Jake Moody.

Niners with 55 secs to get into FG range.  Playoff opponent incoming. One way or the other.  

[Motor City Sonics]

Open jobs tomorrow

 

Carolina - Ryan Day, just kidding, who the hell wants this job?  Eric Beineimy? 

Los Angeles Chargers - Bill Belichick?

New England  -  Vrabel will be their guy

Atlanta - Ben Johnson?

Washington - Jim Harbaugh?  (because they'll let him pick his GM

Tennessee  - Jim Schwartz?

 

Then after their first round departure

Dallas - Lincoln Riley

[Motor City Sonics]

LOL PATRICIA.  

 

YOU SUCK !

[TP_Fan]

Rams win.  We will play stafford.  Not ideal at all.  

[lordstanley]

Niners blow it. Rams it is. I consider the Lions the underdog.
