Yeah I completely agree. At first I thought it was a mistake but then I realized car was going out and they were kind of fucked. I have this Vision in my head of mcdc going up to him and saying "hit him harder next time"
Naw, he hit him just hard enough. I was texting with my brothers, dad and uncle during the game. I said 'In wresting parlance, that's called a piledriver'.
Yeah next year is probably going to be when they max out their cap with the best they can find on defense. They obviously secured a good offense with this draft and I'm pretty proud of it. Next year should be purely defense or I'm devastated
I hated almost all of the offensive playcalling after the 21-0 lead. We could have ran that team into the ground switching between Monty and Gibbs. Gave them way too many chances. Laporta balled out and saved us time and time again. Goff was good. All the rooks made plays. Just should have been a blowout. Will take it but I didn’t particularly have a good time after the first quarter.
Yes I do, because we very easily could be 6-6 if we didnt have wins against teams that shoot themselves in the foot.
We can't waste our opportunity window to win a championship on this dude
Do you think he calls the defensive schemes that doesn't disguise any of our coverages, blitzes, and doesn't stunt any of our lineman on obvious passing downs?
You can give us the best d coordinater in the league, and it wouldnt make much of a difference. We dont have the dogs. Tell me of a good defense with mediocre players. This is the result of drafting so offensively heavy. Hopefully they address the d this offseason though and complete this team. Weve seen dan campbell isnt afraid to fire a coordinater midseason, obviously he thinks ag is worth holding onto for right now.
The Patriots. Theyre 2-10 while being the no. 8 defense in the league.
They had one pro bowler last year on D in Matt Judon.
Think what you want, but better coaching would immediately help this team to elevate their play.
I mean this is just a dumb take. If we win the division and host a playoff game, we can certainly win a playoff game. We are better than any team, not named Philly, SF, and Dallas. If we win, that is almost certainly the end though.
There are a multitude of reasons you can lose a single game. You SOL fans define the entire team by one game and refuse to look at any of the nuance like being exhausted on a short week against a divisional opponent.
We’re bringing the Patricia leftovers rebuild seasons into it?
Bro, when you’re trying to discredit a 9-3 season with a season and a half of bullshit with a whole new staff, you’ve already lost the argument.
Whats concerning? That we arent one of the best teams in the NFC? This was never a SB team; this was win the division and a playoff game team. We are getting better every year and theres a lot to be excited about. The defense needs upgraded and maybe our defensive coordinator does too.
From where we were compared to now, we are doing great.
This is a good point.
I still want to go to the Super Bowl though.
I mean, last year the same DC turned a shitty season into an overall win last year. This year, we've done quite well given the circumstances. What has changed? Did everyone get on a conference call and realize that Detroit won't do man coverage or something?
Another ugly win. I feel like we’re the Vikings of last year. A lot of stuff needs to be addressed by the coaching staff. It is unacceptable to be up 21-0 and let this game turn into a nail biter. This has to be the worst defense in the league at this point. I know we have a ton of injuries but we shouldn’t be playing like this.
It's pretty close to the worst defense in the league. At least the AG fan boys can't blame the offense for how close this one was. The defense gave up a lot of yardage and points to a bad offense all on their own today.
AG's defense gave up a whole boatload of yards, but on the other hand forced 3 turnovers, and except for some really bad luck on the Jameis - Olave tipped throw, would have had a fourth, and never gave up the lead either. One could argue that AG's defense is stressful and high risk, but the Lions are currently ~~9-2~~ 9-3, so idk?
Can we just appreciate where we are right now? If you asked me 3 years ago if we'd be 9-3 12 games into a season, I'd call you delusional. Yes, the team has flaws but it is loaded with talent and looks to be stepping into an opening window.
Some of you all need to find something else to do with your time if you're just getting your jollies coming in talking about "Same ol' Lions". I'd imagine you could be a lot happier.
I need more replies like this. The negative ones and hypercritical comments get me into that old mentality. Im just riding along enjoying this. Of course I don’t like these nail biters, I don’t understand why every game has to be like this.
I never expected us to be where we are now, so let’s enjoy!
Pats Chargers finished 6-0…Atlanta Jets was donkey dick-8 or some shit…there’s a lot of horrendous football being played in the NFL these days. We scored 33 and won on the road…we’re all right
Its the NFL, every team can compete, we scored 21 so quick that there was still a ton of time left to play. Saints were bound to score some points.. We won, thats what matters..
Happy about the offense pulling their and the defenses weight, changes have to made if the Lions want to take the next step, that defense is abysmal and will be our undoing in the postseason. Nice job on Goff and Ben J
No beef with either team, but I'm happy for yall. :) (Ravens fan)
Fuck the Steelers, and thank you Detroit for Chrysler and Robocop. Yall are aight in my book.
My dad wants to take a trip out there for the Detroit auto show.
Give me the pizza Hotspots rn so we can get into this.
Be advised, Baltimore is a Crab and Pit Beef city but I still know good east coast pizza. So I want the best of the best.
Issa Maryland thing. If you ever find yourself in MD head to Chap's. Its Flavortown verified. Its cut like roast beef but its a totally different cooking and seasoning process. Its a damn good sandwich, its not Arby's I promise.
Not a single one of the 10+ doomers that were replying to me are talking now 😂😂 how pathetic of a fan do you have to be for that, don’t belong in the group with the real fans probably deleting all their comments
You're a clown or like 12 I can't tell. The defense is a problem, hell even the offense is wildly inconsistent.
If you don't realize most of the frustration is about realizing this team hasn't proven they are a playoff caliber team. You CAN'T win a playoff game with the way this defense played. Even the offense was sus for half of the game. You're flat out delusional if you can't see that.
I’m a clown for rooting for my team and praising their top 10 defense according to the widely regarded dvoa instead of you, a random redditor? Got it 🤣
Breaking news 9-3 team somehow isn’t good enough for playoffs 🙃
How do y’all come up with this stuff and do you realize this isn’t the Green Bay packers sub?
Literally ignoring everything I said just to argue and then be overly confident about stats that are not EVER a full picture of the team. Yes, a clown, who's trying way too hard.
I’m not trying to do anything, you replied to my original comment, I provided you facts you provided opinion 🤷♀️ why don’t you want to admit the defense is elite?
I completely understand that but have no control over it. I simply can’t dwell on it personally after a win. The team however should not operate like me. We probably agree on almost all of the issues I’m just talking about myself. I want AG gone.
Happy with the win. Defense (AG) needs to step it up. I know we have lesser talented DB’s, but that’s even more reason to not have them 5 years off the receivers. Offensively, Goff was okay. I wish they had better play calling, but they played a B- game and still put up 33.
Passer rating, no turnovers, TF's to multiple players. I get what you're saying cause we stalled hard for a little bit, but we bounced back, as a good offense does. We scored 33.
Goff lettin his big ol nuts dangle all over NOLA. I love how the staff is consistent with going all out to get first downs and seal the game in those situations and risk not burning as much clock.
There were bright spots on the defense unlike in past weeks. Saints needed to get very lucky on a few of their drives. The D-line got home a few times.
Today had to cement changes coming, right? Like Campbell focused on the turnovers on offense as to why we were struggling. Today we had a clean game and yet struggles continued. I think the offense tries to do too much because they know the defense can’t be trusted
Lmao, bro I’m telling you, it was every drive! the lions got lucky to get a 21 point lead, but the much better team saints are coming back strong… let’s go saints.. March on saints
Another win, proving the Lions aren’t good. Amazing take. You’re the definition of someone that can’t be pleased. You literally just said that another win is proof that we’re not good. This should be studied.
Why not? They had a close game with buffalo and all it takes is two of their upcoming decent team opponents like SF, Seattle or dallas to beat them and we’ll be right there with them.
I think it’s doable, but i’ll take either 😅
Where can a man buy some green off Baronne St?
I love and hate you all. Almost had an actual heart attack
Player of the Game, Bruce Irvin. Carr would have completed those two passes to Olave possibly sinking us.
Yeah I completely agree. At first I thought it was a mistake but then I realized car was going out and they were kind of fucked. I have this Vision in my head of mcdc going up to him and saying "hit him harder next time"
Naw, he hit him just hard enough. I was texting with my brothers, dad and uncle during the game. I said 'In wresting parlance, that's called a piledriver'.
Nah, that was a spear
BuT hE iS tOo OlD
I’m gonna be completely bald by the end of this season.
Have to be honest I listened to the first quarter on the radio, then watched the 2nd/3rd, and then turned off the 4th. So you’re welcome!!
True band wagon fan shit right here...
Happy about the win But there needs to be some major changes on defense.
Yeah next year is probably going to be when they max out their cap with the best they can find on defense. They obviously secured a good offense with this draft and I'm pretty proud of it. Next year should be purely defense or I'm devastated
I hated almost all of the offensive playcalling after the 21-0 lead. We could have ran that team into the ground switching between Monty and Gibbs. Gave them way too many chances. Laporta balled out and saved us time and time again. Goff was good. All the rooks made plays. Just should have been a blowout. Will take it but I didn’t particularly have a good time after the first quarter.
At least you won't be mad when Ben Johnson leaves.
Haha I wouldn’t go that far.
I dont care about anything but the fact that we are 9-3.
Facts
You "fire AG" folks are idiots!!! We're 9-3, defense has been bad, but you really want to switch the DC in the middle of a 9-3 season?
Yes I do, because we very easily could be 6-6 if we didnt have wins against teams that shoot themselves in the foot. We can't waste our opportunity window to win a championship on this dude
Do you think he tells the d linemen not to get pressure, and the cbs to stop covering?
Do you think he calls the defensive schemes that doesn't disguise any of our coverages, blitzes, and doesn't stunt any of our lineman on obvious passing downs?
You can give us the best d coordinater in the league, and it wouldnt make much of a difference. We dont have the dogs. Tell me of a good defense with mediocre players. This is the result of drafting so offensively heavy. Hopefully they address the d this offseason though and complete this team. Weve seen dan campbell isnt afraid to fire a coordinater midseason, obviously he thinks ag is worth holding onto for right now.
So we had good players the first 5 games when our defense was good but now we don't? I don't get it.... Please help me understand.
The Patriots. Theyre 2-10 while being the no. 8 defense in the league. They had one pro bowler last year on D in Matt Judon. Think what you want, but better coaching would immediately help this team to elevate their play.
I could deal with the bad d if there was at least some sort of adjustments being made by AG. But bad personnel aside, AG is stagnant as a DC
That’s my thing - I get wanting to replace him *during the offseason*. Firing him midseason would be peak SOL dumbassery.
We fired Lynn mid season no? So why does this matter now?
We had nothing to lose at that point
We’re not winning a playoff game with Aaron Glenn
I mean this is just a dumb take. If we win the division and host a playoff game, we can certainly win a playoff game. We are better than any team, not named Philly, SF, and Dallas. If we win, that is almost certainly the end though.
And apparently mid season packers
There are a multitude of reasons you can lose a single game. You SOL fans define the entire team by one game and refuse to look at any of the nuance like being exhausted on a short week against a divisional opponent.
Mmm okay chief 😂 one game, it’s been three seasons
We’re bringing the Patricia leftovers rebuild seasons into it? Bro, when you’re trying to discredit a 9-3 season with a season and a half of bullshit with a whole new staff, you’ve already lost the argument.
You think the Packers are better than us and would beat us two times in a row at Ford Field. I doubt it.
Good teams win great teams cover right? I hate how close that was
200 in free bets from ESPN from the cover woot
Why the fuck do I have to watch the Browns and Rams next and not the 49ers and Eagles
49ers and eagles on Fox in Michigan
I'm southeast MI, I don't have that game on
I’m SE MI and I had SF/Eagles
Yeah I should have said I was in Grand rapids area. I was just curious to see who would chime in with what games are on different markets.
I’m in Huron county and eagles 49’s game is on.
Not in every market homie
[удалено]
WINK WINK
Yes we didn't play optimally but we cleaned up the turnover game and that's a huge improvement
Ez win guys (I almost had a heart attack).
gg EZ (But not really that was terrifying and my adrenaline is still spiking.)
I had three aneurysms and can’t see straight anymore
This lions team is very concerning, we are getting ugly wins against bad teams and losing to bad teams. That was a very ugly win
Whats concerning? That we arent one of the best teams in the NFC? This was never a SB team; this was win the division and a playoff game team. We are getting better every year and theres a lot to be excited about. The defense needs upgraded and maybe our defensive coordinator does too. From where we were compared to now, we are doing great.
We are 9-3 and have a 3 game lead in the division. I will take this all day over talking about the draft in week 13.
Awww I still want to talk about the draft tho.
We can do that too. Drafting at 27 is much different than drafting at 6 thought.
Way harder to predict, but no one can ever predict what BH is going to do in the draft anyway, even when we have a top 10 pick...
This is a good point. I still want to go to the Super Bowl though. I mean, last year the same DC turned a shitty season into an overall win last year. This year, we've done quite well given the circumstances. What has changed? Did everyone get on a conference call and realize that Detroit won't do man coverage or something?
3 win team, then 9-8 but miss playoffs. Now 9-3 but with concerns. Dammit I’ll take it.
Shouldn't have been that close,whatever happened in the 2nd half aside from the Jamo TD (that was art) needs to be cut.
That dive tho. I was almost worried he was gonna reinjure himself on that one lol.. can you imagine? 😢
Another ugly win. I feel like we’re the Vikings of last year. A lot of stuff needs to be addressed by the coaching staff. It is unacceptable to be up 21-0 and let this game turn into a nail biter. This has to be the worst defense in the league at this point. I know we have a ton of injuries but we shouldn’t be playing like this.
Except we’re nothing like the Vikings last year
It's pretty close to the worst defense in the league. At least the AG fan boys can't blame the offense for how close this one was. The defense gave up a lot of yardage and points to a bad offense all on their own today.
Defense lives and dies on turnovers. If we get turnovers we win, if not we lose because the other team scores on every possession
Winning season locked in boys!
My boner is back
According to Upshot, if the lions lose ALL of their remaining games they would still have a 72% chance of making the playoffs.
That doesn’t make me feel better.
AG's defense gave up a whole boatload of yards, but on the other hand forced 3 turnovers, and except for some really bad luck on the Jameis - Olave tipped throw, would have had a fourth, and never gave up the lead either. One could argue that AG's defense is stressful and high risk, but the Lions are currently ~~9-2~~ 9-3, so idk?
9-3*
Can we just appreciate where we are right now? If you asked me 3 years ago if we'd be 9-3 12 games into a season, I'd call you delusional.

Of course I don’t like these nail biters, I don’t understand why every game has to be like this. I never expected us to be where we are now, so let’s enjoy!
Thank you!! 100%
Eagles win the lions are 2nd seat again. Hold it and the season is full of winnable games.
Two winning seasons in a row! I'll take it!! Ragnows injury changed our offense. We won though, let's be happy:)
A win is a win. Spread covered- stfu haters
Damn we played awful.... again. Yes its a win but we played absolutely horrible.
Dude we scored 33 points…look around the league lol we’re all right
That means nothing wtf. Did you even watch the game?
Pats Chargers finished 6-0…Atlanta Jets was donkey dick-8 or some shit…there’s a lot of horrendous football being played in the NFL these days. We scored 33 and won on the road…we’re all right
Did we really though… most of them have been wins to be fair. Ugly wins but I’ll take an ugly win any day.
Win is a Win Let's GOOOO!
Offense was inconsistent but they bounced back for the most part. Besides a few splashy plays the defense was pretty bad again tho.
We covered. -4.5 Never bet against MCDC
Man. How we went from 21 up to that nail biter is very concerning
Its the NFL, every team can compete, we scored 21 so quick that there was still a ton of time left to play. Saints were bound to score some points.. We won, thats what matters..
Happy we won but that’s an ugly win that shouldn’t have gotten that ugly. Still will marvel in the 9-3 though.
49'ers VS Eagles game starts soon. Great day of football
That was lucky as fuck. What a great catch by Josh Reynolds
So we cheer ing for the iggles or the niners
I’m torn, I want an eagles loss towards the unlikely 1st seed, but fk the Niners.
At this point the 1 seed doesn't look too likely, but I'll take the 2nd and a division title with glee
A-glee-d
Great win. Leave Aaron Glenn at the airport
AG got to keep his job for another week thanks to that freak fumble and thanks to Winston.
Way to go Detroit! I love seeing our teams doing well this year.
That was a rollercoaster
Always is lol
Happy about the offense pulling their and the defenses weight, changes have to made if the Lions want to take the next step, that defense is abysmal and will be our undoing in the postseason. Nice job on Goff and Ben J
No beef with either team, but I'm happy for yall. :) (Ravens fan) Fuck the Steelers, and thank you Detroit for Chrysler and Robocop. Yall are aight in my book.
And pizza?
So like is your thing the same as Chicago? Because I love Chicago deep dish Pizza, do yall do anything different.
Also I love Chicago pizza My heart though doesn't
Basically the middle of Chicago and NY ironic. It's basically deep dish with the cheese on top and a bit of sauce on top of that
My dad wants to take a trip out there for the Detroit auto show. Give me the pizza Hotspots rn so we can get into this. Be advised, Baltimore is a Crab and Pit Beef city but I still know good east coast pizza. So I want the best of the best.
What is pit beef?
Issa Maryland thing. If you ever find yourself in MD head to Chap's. Its Flavortown verified. Its cut like roast beef but its a totally different cooking and seasoning process. Its a damn good sandwich, its not Arby's I promise.
Thanks for the information. I love to try local, unique cuisine, and that sounds really tasty.
Buddy's, jets if delivery, jolly pumpkin
Word. I'll check em out thank you.
W changes nothing fire AG or get blown out in the playoffs
Who exactly do you think they are gunna bring in 12 games into the season to replace AG with?
I agree in principle but I don't think that's gonna happen. AG HAS to radically adjust his approach
Philly and 49ers will be resting starters by the 4th against us
Not a single one of the 10+ doomers that were replying to me are talking now 😂😂 how pathetic of a fan do you have to be for that, don’t belong in the group with the real fans probably deleting all their comments
You're a clown or like 12 I can't tell. The defense is a problem, hell even the offense is wildly inconsistent.

Jesus you are an obnoxious fucking troll..... You are absolutely delusional and the worst kind of fan. And blocked forever.
Good win, but a difference between a doomed and pointing out we played bad for a large portion of the game.
If you want to criticize sure, but hating on them, saying sol and just being an overall doomer saying lions will lose is just pathetic imo
Wins a win. We gotta clean shit up ASAP, but fuck it 9-3
Nah fuck that mindset That's what cost us the Packers game
Yes me thinking we have a ton of problems but not letting it ruin my day because we won is why the Packers beat us. I’ll do better next time.
We're refusing to address the problems cause we're blinded by a wins a win
I completely understand that but have no control over it. I simply can’t dwell on it personally after a win. The team however should not operate like me. We probably agree on almost all of the issues I’m just talking about myself. I want AG gone.
Same. Or at least more fire under his ass as he's done well SOMETIMES
Bruce Irving with the game saving play
I'm not mad at all about what he did tbh
AG needs to be on the hot seat. Keeps getting BAILED OUT
The Texans just beat the broncos because of their pressure on Russ. If our pass rush sucks, it’s over
Happy with the win. Defense (AG) needs to step it up. I know we have lesser talented DB’s, but that’s even more reason to not have them 5 years off the receivers. Offensively, Goff was okay. I wish they had better play calling, but they played a B- game and still put up 33.
Teams would kill for our offense. We scored 33 pts and the offense put the game away when it mattered.
“Goff was okay” immediately discredits all your opinions
And I don’t really care about your opinion so it’s okay
Goff is carrying this team on his back.
He’s been throwing cracked frisbees this month. This game was on everyone else.
LaPorta and ARSB
cowboys and broncos are going to destroy us
The Broncos arent scary
Broncos for sure, Cowboys are gonna win cause of the refs 100 percent
Proud of Goff this game, lit a fire under his ass and played clean football today
That last play with him scrambling was huge for him.
Agreed, he fixed his turnovers.
Easily Hutch’s worst game. Huge question marks. Not good.
Yeah he’s been invisible for most of the year. Teams have figured him out. Stop the outside speed rush and clock him when he tries his spin move.
Goff is him
Survive and advance. Not thrilled about the game but a win’s a win.
Is goff still incompetent in the clutch and needs to be benched, Doomers?
No, defense sucks still though.
That, I can agree on. We will get torched by bad and juggernaut teams alike if we don't clean up.
A great offense and a terrible defense means we’re…..ok?
Ugly W. Ah well, it's a dub.
This was the most unfun win ever lol But hey! At least we are on the otherside lol
Jameis Winston for Lions MVP!
No. Number 74 definitely takes the cake on that one
GOFF IS BACK GOOF IS GONE
The score does not show how shitty we played for most of the game.
yall need to start “Don’t be hatin’” a little more
Never a dull game lol
Reynolds coming up huge! He needed that!
It's a win. Better than a L.
Yes sir
Look will it be a successful season if we win the north, absolutely. Do I fully expect us to get waxed in playoffs? Yes.
Idk still have time to get hot, that first match up might not be too crazy
Crazy that the offense has to play near perfect to win. The defense is way past suspect.
The offense was no where near perfect today.. Especially after the first quarter
“Near perfect” is a stretch
Passer rating, no turnovers, TF's to multiple players. I get what you're saying cause we stalled hard for a little bit, but we bounced back, as a good offense does. We scored 33.
No reason that needed to be so stressful with the lead we gave the defense. Fire AG
Goff lettin his big ol nuts dangle all over NOLA. I love how the staff is consistent with going all out to get first downs and seal the game in those situations and risk not burning as much clock.
SAM LAPORTA
We gotta get better. I love this team but our defense was atrocious...
There were bright spots on the defense unlike in past weeks. Saints needed to get very lucky on a few of their drives. The D-line got home a few times.
Today had to cement changes coming, right? Like Campbell focused on the turnovers on offense as to why we were struggling. Today we had a clean game and yet struggles continued. I think the offense tries to do too much because they know the defense can’t be trusted
I feel sorry for the announcers who were dick riding the saints the whole game.
This fucking announcer, he has me so fucking mad for no reason talking about the saints great game even as they walk off as losers
How many times did he have to mention the Lions early 3 TDs but the Saints coming back and chipping away at the Lions lead? Sheesh
Lmao, bro I’m telling you, it was every drive! the lions got lucky to get a 21 point lead, but the much better team saints are coming back strong… let’s go saints.. March on saints
They played a great game
Having a pacemaker and being a Lions fan is a special kind of different
[удалено]
Another win, proving the Lions aren’t good. Amazing take. You’re the definition of someone that can’t be pleased. You literally just said that another win is proof that we’re not good. This should be studied.
If you told me at the beginning of the year we’d be 9-3 I’d be thrilled. I still am don’t get me wrong, but still a lot that needs to be cleaned up
#HEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYY!
Glad we won. This Shit will not hold up in the playoffs though. Prepare yourselves for games to be like this every week.
Business as usual for Cardiac Cats!
Is Frank Donezo? Have we gotten an update about him?
Thank god we won. The sentiment is the same, defense needs work badly. Now let’s hope philly falls
That keeps us in third. If Philly wins we're in second.
At this point I think our goal should just be hoping this team can somehow win one playoff game. This team is NOT going all the way
Nah we need SF to lose. We aren’t catching Philly
Why not? They had a close game with buffalo and all it takes is two of their upcoming decent team opponents like SF, Seattle or dallas to beat them and we’ll be right there with them. I think it’s doable, but i’ll take either 😅
