Week Seventeen: Detroit Lions (13-2) @ San Francisco 49ers (6-9)

[MichiganCardinal]

I just remembered that Terrion Arnold was on the injury report for an illness earlier in the week. I wonder if he's still feeling it? Would help explain just how bad a first half he's had.

[number20]

Handoff to Gibbs is getting a little predictable

 

 

[TP_Fan]

Love that catch by Allen Robinson.  That was nice. 

[buddha]

in true lions fashion, this year really really hurts.

the best lions team of ALL of our lifetimes is crippled by injury.  it makes me so sad i dont even like to think about it.  it hurts.

if they still win it will be the greatest championship in the history of michigan sports and i'll be rooting for it.  

but i just dont see it.

[TP_Fan]

Great opening drive.  

[MichiganCardinal]

I held up the ✌️ before Campbell did. Tied up!

[Jason_R]

Back in it. 

Maybe in the second half we can see Melifonwu blitz. 

[TP_Fan]

Tie game.  Would awesome job offense.  Would love to see any signs out of the defense.  

[number20]

That was a f*** you drive by the offense

I’ve been waiting, just got to finish if he does. JRM had a shot before the half ended but got side stepped.

Good news: a) Lions offense is still best in NFC; b) no new injuries tonight; and c) Vikings won yesterday otherwise I’d be freaking out that tonight’s game is close. 

[Sports_Freak]

Defense needs to step up.

[KnoxP]

Holmes looks huge, wish he could play LB 😬

[TP_Fan]

Every play is so easy.  13 yards on first down.  Come on D. 

[number20]

If I were SF I'd just throw it on every play

 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Have we gotten a single QB hurry or pressure on Purdy today?

[TP_Fan]

Seriously, why is everyone so wide open.  4 plays and it’s first and goal form the 3. This is the worst a defense could possibly play.

No

[Sports_Freak]

Just. Too. Easy.

[TP_Fan]

What do you say.  You need luck to win tonight.  This defense will not get a stop.  As soon as the 4th quarter starts you need to onside kick if you score. 

[holygoat]

Our only chance is if SF effs up. That's it. The 9ers will only lose if they beat themselves.

[RandyMarsh]

Yeah even with all the injuries this is just pathetic, I don't expect them to even be average, hell even a little below average is ok but if not for the illegal pick play that wasn't needed you're probably looking at giving up 5 TDs on 5 drives. Just no excuse for that no matter how banged up you are.

the bears - THE BEARS - took a punter in round 4 last year.  

🤣

In all fairness, they need a fourth-round-level punter.

[Motown Bombers]

Lions have two QB hits, zero sacks, zero passes defended, and Kirby Joseph, the deep safety, leads the team in tackles. 

[lordstanley]

The Niners have only had to run 4 3rd down plays so far.
