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

What a horrible undisciplined penalty by branch.  Just already getting abused and that’s two unsportsmanlike penalties that cost your team.  It’s just insane how bad the defense has been and they’ve taken two horrible penalties after the whistle.

Ok, no reason for the Lions not to win now. Make this a 2-score game. 

[number20]

That was an awesome pick by Kerby. Played it beautifully

Kerby makes up for branch again. Twice in a row. 

[Sports_Freak]

Milk the clock and come on home.

[holygoat]

Kerby has Branch's back.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

KIRBY!!!!!! They've run that play a few times and Kirby jumped the route. 

[Motown Bombers]

Kerby Joseph does nothing but pick off passes and ACLs.

See why SF is 6-9 or whatever?

believe tp, BELIEVE!  😉

SF missed 2 field goals and threw 2 picks. This should be a win.

[Sports_Freak]

Run the ball....milk the clock.

[Jason_R]

Wow what a run by Gibbs. 

[Sports_Freak]

Pull the starters.

[TP_Fan]

There is the exclamation point. Hell of an effort from Ben Johnson and Kerby Joseph.  

[IdahoBert]

Whoop whoop!

[number20]

40 burger

Why not go for 2 there? 14 pt lead is way better than 12 or 13 pts. 

[RandyMarsh]

Last 13 games the Lions have scored 40+ in 6 of them.

[number20]

Get a stop, score another TD

anyone who votes kevin o'connel over dan campbell for coach of the year needs their balls chopped off.

We showed the world the Niners are the Niners.

[lordstanley]

With this Lions’ defense and as long as the Niners keep their three timeouts, I’m not yet taking this win for granted.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. A real crazy idea was Gibbs going down at the goal line, 1st and goal. Milk the clock and kick a FG. 9 point lead with 1 1/2 minutes left for SF. But...no...score a TD
