Detroit Lions: We're Going to Bite a Kneecap Off - Page 488 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

great all around game.

prater mvp.
defense is quietly above average.
played with discipline. only recall a couple penalties.

most well rounded effort of the year imo. also, f the packers and texans.

I don't mean to be an alarmist, but if we beat the Bears and Packers at home, we win the division.

After the early games, NY Times playoff odds calc says:

77% to win division

1% 1 seed
21% 2 seed
37% 3 seed
18% 4
2% 5
7% 6
14% miss playoffs

Beat the Bears and we're 87% to be da Kings in the North.

We have to win at nyg or at dal, plus beat chi. Then we need sea to win in gb next week.

Otherwise week 17 is for the division. I'd like to say I'm confident enough to be ok with that, but I'm really not.

Hopefully week 17 is for a first round bye. I cant believe I am saying that given how this team started.

Nope. If we beat the packers we win the division.

9-7 gets it done

Ps. We won the division already.

Lions just need one more win and it's over. Vikings and packers aren't running the table.

Officially their winning the division magic number is 3.

Realistically they make the playoffs with one more win and are 99% assured a spot with two wins.

Yeah I really hope it doesn't come down to Week 17. We've seen that movie before.

Its not like this franchise has a history of late season collapses or anything.

A 2 game lead with 4 to play is far from a sure thing. Theyve already lost to the packers and bears this year, the Cowboys are great, and while NY isnt as good as their record suggests, they are scrappy and keep games close.

The packers seem like the type of team to suddenly come alive and run the table.

It just seems way premature to call the division a lock. While they seem to be peaking at the right time, there are still 4 tough games to play.

Right now we essentially have a 1 game lead over the Packers. If they come into week 17 1 game back of us, we are for all intents and purposes tied since the week 17 game winner will win the division since they would have h2h.

Bro wtf are you talking about. Say we go 1-2 which is very possible playing @NYG and @DAL. Even if Packers lose to the Seahawks, they just have to beat the Bears and Vikings and then Week 17 will be for the division.

Should call the Superdome Ford Field south. Awesome time in New Orleans and at the game. Probably the best performance they've had all year.

My first game at Ford Field is this Sunday. On foot from Greektown, is it worth walking to tailgating at Eastern Market? Where's the best place to find the $5 crappy t-shirt guy like we have in Philly/Balt/Wash

Yes. Eastern Market is legit from everything I've heard. I've always tailgated at Monroe and Brush. Really can't go wrong anywhere

Coming down south for my first game this weekend as well. Been a huge lions fan ever since they were the go to team for schooling my friends in madden. From what I've seen online it looks like eastern market is better if you have a car rather than walking around.
