feel bad for the Lions and their fans if they blow this, but the Rams have been fuging hot lately and still have many core pieces of a recent SB winner so they shouldn’t have any shame losing despite it being at home and the difference in record

Some folks are saying (I’ve heard it from my friends) that they weren’t gonna watch the peacock game, just out of principle.

while I agree in spirit, the microtransactions/subbing to another terrible streaming service just to watch one NFL game, is capitalistic greed and wrong - it’s gonna be the norm eventually. People will subscribe and pay to watch.  

Yea I agree. If I was still watching the NFL like 10 years ago or in the states, Id pirate the hell out of them. I believe capitalistic is one of the best ways, BUT me myself are a terrible one. Id do not over consume, I buy stuff at thift stores/marketplace, do not care about fashion fads etc, nor eat out much. Honestly nearly got everything I need, which is why I know the NFL doesnt care one bit about my lack of fandom. I do miss spending the winning cash and talking trash form the FF stuff, I will admit that.

NFL wants Detroit to win so badly. This entire game has been about Detroit.

 

That was a clear pass interference no call.

 

Congrats Eminem and Detroit. You win your first playoff game in decades. You're going home next week enjoy it. Stafford was the best QB in the NFC.  Such a shame they forced Goff down our throats.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
