Lions haven't won in SF since 1975?

LG and LT for the 49ers are making their first career starts tonight

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.

This. Makes the game have some meaning.  The tie is still relevant, came into a possibility couple times this week.

Win this game so that a tie is an advantage and not a disadvantage.

And....their running backs are all backups. In theory, they should be one dimensional. But...watch out for Kittle.

Watching pre-game out here in California (local sports). Everyone is begging SF to rest their starters too 😄. They have nothing whatsoever to gain with a win since it just knocks them farther down the draft order.

Monday Night Football, Lions vs 49ers, who gives a sh*t

Yeah, if the Luons want revenge, let the 49'ers win and weaken their draft. 😅😅

[TP_Fan]

Might as well win then.

Man,  I have an SCTV Johnny LaRue marathon lined up,  Guess I will watch that tomorrow

 

[Hongbit]

I have no idea what to expect tonight.    
 

Go Lions!

Let's go, you bunch of stumblebums

Win the toss and defer. The right move.

Defense looking soft at first and second level.   

[TP_Fan]

Niners doing whatever they want against Aaron Glenn.  Hot knife through butter.  Too easy for them.  

[RandyMarsh]

The defense just isn't good at all right now, blame it on injuries, Glenn or whatever but the fact is teams are just having their way with them. They are going to have to live and die with their RZ performance and just hope they can hold teams to FGs as much as possible. 

[TP_Fan]

4th and 1 QB sneak and the Dline completely unprepared.  He needed a full yard and they had no urgency.

It’s Glenn. It always been Glenn.  Year after year with his only man defense and being knifed through and he has always been given a free pass.  

[TP_Fan]

Kerby with an undisciplined penalty.  Flag already thrown on Jennings and Kerby cancels it’s out.  If this is the way they are gonna play then sit the damn starters.  

[TP_Fan]

Real chance of this being a dangerous game if the lions come out like this.  Way too amped up, being dominated at the line of scrimmage with a college OL.  This is how people get hurt. 

[Nate7474]

That is why you take the ball first……..

[Mr.TaterSalad]

How did they deem they he had possession of that? He was clearly bobbling the ball there and didn't have full possession.

Yeah dumb penalty, very well may have cost them 4 points. When you are as bad on defense as we have been you need to take advantage of possible mistakes by the oppponents and we had that chance but he negated that.

Nope. Put your weakened defense on the field first? Play from behind? VERY stupid.

[Motown Bombers]

His feet came down outside the end zone with the ball outside the end zone. Not sure why the ball isn't where it wa when his feet came down. 

[AlaskanTigersFan]

Kerby Joseph just cost us 6 points... What a phaknut. Undisciplined.....

He was defending his teammate. We won the toss, defense shouldn't even have been out there. It's all on Campbell.
