Week Sixteen: Detroit Lions (7-7) @ Carolina Panthers (5-9)

“It’s a Wonderful Life”

said no Lions fan ever.

Team quit 

[sagnam]

Being embarrassed by a below average team is not a good look.  I’m not sure what else there is to talk about except the Lions allowing that below average team to do something no other team has done is years.  This defense is bad but their claim to fame is to play hard 100% of the time.  The defense has to this point rolled over.

[sagnam]

That is the stupidest 2 pt play I have ever seen.

[Hongbit]

I want to see them fight this one out.  Don’t think they can make it all the way back but they need to win the rest of the way.  

[sagnam]

Vikings losing to the Giants would be the most Vikings thing to do.

[sagnam]

There is the Lions stupidity we all expect to see.

imo, the panthers and lions are very close talent wise.  the panthers have a better defense and the lions have a better offense.

That’s why getting embarrassed by Chuba Hubbard and Devonta Freeman is notable.

A couple duds a year may turn out to be a part of the Dan Campbell era. Eagles and Bengals last year. Pats and Panthers this year.

I’m okay with a couple of duds if you go 12-3 in the other 15 lol

next week's game thread is gonna be rough when the bears run for 400 yards on us...

[sagnam]

Should it not be?

I think we will see a very quick return to the run defense we knew when we are back in the warmth of the home dome.

Fields on the other hand…

[Aar000n]

What a weak penalty call

actually it does.    

[sagnam]

Not throwing the ball at the terrible corner that just entered the game is a coaching failure.

That play sums up this game.  Can’t win if you can’t tackle 

[Jason_R]

This team came in too full of their press clippings. Utter embarrassment.

last week everyone on this board said the lions were the third or fourth best team in the nfc.  after this game we'll all say theyre the worst team ever.

welcome to fandom, lol.

Let’s go Vikings!

Could be different people.  But this is a common trope on message boards.  Everyone is clumped together on the opposite side of a point.
