Why Gainwell

Lions about to go up 2 scores 

Solid first half, keep the foot on the gas and put these clowns away.

Buffalo is only up 7-0 on the Jets at half time. Thats not impressive.

I took the lions in that game in a parlay. I think they are playing better than Minnesota. They are a dangerous team in the playoffs if Goff doesn’t implode like he sometimes does against better defenses. 

JaMo had a big TD today…busted coverage but still 

Our bet is alive!

Jets play them tough. Great defence, terrible O

If Minnesota can lose, and the only other game we lose all year is Dallas, arent we still 1st seed?

When you get past 10, use your toes

Ojulari has had his number today

Yea, but that left side has reared its ugly head almost every week. Not saying he sucks, he’s still playing at a passable level. Just not as good as last year.

Usually harder for a punter to learn place kicking than the other way around. They do usually practice for emergency situations like this. Elliot should be able to punt well enough to hold a 14 point lead.

A couple years ago, the team voted that Elliott was actually the 'best athlete' on the team.  So, I'm not worried about his punting.   Just get some hang time and 35 yards of depth.   Nothing more than that needed.   Better yet, time to run the ball to take the air out of the game.

Dont tell me what to do with my toes Rex Ryan.

Plays into the lions favor is they have the tiebreakers over Washington and giants. I think Washington tends to be the team that stands in their way. Could come down to if Dallas has anything to play for week 18. They might rest guys and Washington gets that W

Yes. We would need to lose to Dallas and one more for them to catch us. 

And the lions missed the field goal

I don’t like how immediately Siposs was carted in. I hope it’s not an Achilles. 

Maybe that close to halftime, they just wanted to get the x-rays quick.

So with that result, we are comfortably #1. Would have to play the starters agaisnt Giants again in week 18 but not a big deal...

If we beat the giants then all the eagles have to do is beat the bears, saints and giants to get the one seed and the bye. Would like to destroy Dallas but even if we don’t it’s not the end of the world. Plus resting guys week 18 is nice for injuries but also means like 3 weeks from when we played a meaningful game. Has its pros and cons 

2 questions:

1: Do the Lions draft a QB early in the first or keep rolling with Goff?

2: Should the Lions draft a QB early in the first?

Hurts and WRs look incredible.  Only concern is the ability to win a game with Kvon Wallace starting before CJGJ is back.

Yeah I’m guessing heavy dose of miles sanders 

It's the Giants... so Boston Scott time.

Cowboys would also need to win out there games, so a loss for them would be huge for us, obviously. 

Kudos for Phillip Dorsett for still being in the league. Feels like he’s played for like 15 years lol 

Hou up 20-17 going into halftime

Depends where that Rams pick ends up and then what teams move up for a QB. Goff is a + gap starter, but not a franchise guy.

My guess is they take a QB. They have two first rounds picks and can release him to save $20 million.

Houston is leading Dallas at halftime.    

Hurts still doesn’t seem to step up in the pocket unless he decides to run.
