Week Thirteen: Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7) @ Detroit Lions (4-7)

[Motown Bombers]

When's the last time the Lions beat a team so bad that the opposing team waved the white flag and brought in the backup QB?

The Lions are a.... wait for it.... good team?

Was just thinking this.  When was the last time the Lions so handily put away a bad team?

This felt much like Arizona last year… except there was never really a doubt that we would win.

Overheard: “is this what New England fans felt like for so long?”

I’m not ready to say good, but definitely not bad and that has them separated from the bad teams.  It’s also why losing last week hurts so bad, especially considering a bad team like Jacksonville actually won their game against a better team.

[sagnam]

This delay of game is hilarious!

[MichiganCardinal]

Jerome Boger casually giving the Lions a 20 second runoff because he can’t do math.

[sagnam]

Was the clock running?  It didn’t start on the whistle.  Why would there be a runoff in a stopped clock scenario?

[Tenacious D]

Is 3-2 realistic the rest of the way?

I remember the 40 point beat down they put on the Tebow Broncos, but I'm sure there's been one more recently...

I think it is.

[MichiganCardinal]

Can we stop giving Campbell ultimatums now or will the rest of the games be must-wins too?

Yes. They can beat Carolina, Chicago and the Jets. 4-1 is attainable too with getting a win against Minnesota at home or Green Bay.

Now the wins are meaningless and won't someone please think of the draft picks.

[Motown Bombers]

As much as I want to see the Giants lose, we need them to win here.

Very...

Nah, they are still in the hunt. They have put themselves in the position where the rest of the games are must-win by starting so poorly, and also by playing so well over the last five. Let's hold them to a higher standard than we're used to.

This may say more about the NFC than the LIons but there aren't 7 teams better in this conference than them.

3-2 won’t be enough though.  Needed that game last week to allow for 2 losses.

[Tenacious D]

It’s been said before, but I love having a shitty, beat-up Rams #1 pick so I can enjoy each Lions win and care less about our own pick potentially falling outside of the top-15.

I’m not thinking playoffs (yet).  Just trying to gauge what our final record could look like.

Oh, yeah. Then 3 seems realistic.

I had them at 6-11 before the season started, and it looked like that wouldn't happen after the first 8 games. Now, I'd be disappointed with that.
