Lions at Falcons

[TP_Fan]

These ones with the falcons always seem to end at the last second.  The last 3 meetings I believe that’s what happened. Last year was the Gurley TD that led to a stafford comeback.

Looks like it’s Boyle today.  A loss and a jags win over the jets and we are right back in the drivers seat for the first overall pick.  Although, 2 isn’t a bad position either.  I like the culture that is being built, let’s find that happy medium  where the last 3 games are obvious signs of progress while maintaining a top 2 pick.

Tim Boyle will have a huge game today.     

 

I'm being serious. 

 

St. Brown will have his first 100 yard game.    Brock Wright will have a good game too.

The Lions are hot. They've won 2 of their last 3 games. Or put another way, they've won 2 of their last 14 games? 🤣🤣

I expect the Lions get back to normal and lose a game in the 4th quarter that they should’ve won.   Refs will probably play a role in it as well.

I don't get it. Atlanta punt goes 61 yards, pinning the Lions on their own 10 yard line. But illegal formation on Atlanta. And the Lions refuse the penalty? Bad coaching decision or some other reason I can't figure out?

That penalty was on the Lions. They covered up the long snapper.

Ohhh...ok. That makes sense. When I hear illegal formation, I usually think the offensive team.

[TP_Fan]

Jonah Jackson false start leads to a fake punt.  It’s successful. 

[TP_Fan]

St brown with the catch and score.  The lions have really improved as the season has gone on. And they have done it with the worst injury luck I can remember.

I promise to not critique another Campbell decision if the Lions agree to lose this game. I’ve seen enough this year that this team will compete and win with more talent.  Let’s just lose out and have our choice of picks.

This is not good for James Robinson and our draft position.

If the Lions win this game, we will probably want Jacksonville to win. Winning this game with a Jets loss can slide the Lions down to 4th.

Elsewhere in draft relevancy...

Texans up 17-12 on the Chargers. Rams up 13-3 on the Vikings. Jets up 13-12 on the Jags.

Urban Meyer will probably say "I knew he was going to do that so I benched him".

There's a hole in my neighborhood down which, of late, I cannot help but fall.

[MichiganCardinal]

Pitts should have been called for OPI on that. Clear push off.

It looked like one of the more obvious ones to me. 

[TP_Fan]

Script going to plan so far.  Good fight and effort.  Keeping it close. 

[Motor City Sonics]

St. Brown - the steal of the draft.

[Motor City Sonics]

Well done Taylor Decker.   Playing like a rookie for over 5 years now. 

[TP_Fan]

5 false starts of my math is correct.  

[TP_Fan]

Texans likely to beat the Chargers. Up 9 with the ball, about 10 mins left. 

[sagnam]

Never seen a QB under center not get the snap and start dropping back.

Lions need to re-sign

 

Charles Harris  

Craig Reynolds

Riley Patterson

 

By the way.  Cut the cord on Chrome.   Firefox is much much faster.   Not just as a browser but my whole computer is faster.

I would also add Josh Reynolds to that list.
