Not hard to see why NBC wanted nothing to do with Tennessee on SNF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Vince Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Hope the grounds crew are drowning the turf as we speak. The Lions have a lot of speed at receiver, will negate some of that speed with a sloppy track. Have Jaire lock down St brown this week. My concern is their OL vs our DL. We couldn't get much pressure on Kirk as I would've liked. The Lions OL is one of the best, if they can't disrupt Goff its going to be a long night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought the NFL typically eschewed that thought process for week 18 SNF game and penciled in an independent playoff-berth-on-the-line game. Now we know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goff has small hands and a cold, perhaps slick football could lead to some wobbly/inaccurate throws and perhaps a fumble or 2 if GB can get to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That OLine and multiple high draft picks means DET is up and coming to be a good team. They will be tough the next few years and I believe even if Seattle makes this win irrelevant for the playoffs, they will play us hard to make a point. If we get in this year, we will have earned it so let’s get to work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnypackerfan Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Early forecast for Sunday night. Partly to Mostly Cloudy. Temp of 23 degrees at kickoff with very little chance of snow. Winds fairly light at about 5 mph out of the southwest. No precipitation in the forecast for several days before the game....so traveling should be fine and the field in good condition.

sgtcheezwiz Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Curious to see how the Lions handle the threat of Nixon. You can kick it five yards deep of the end zone and he’s still a threat to take it to the house. We have seen teams try to squib kick which gave us the ball at the 40. The threat of Nixon has changed everything for this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Normally if Seattle were to win before kick-off the steam would be out of the Detroit team. I don't think that will be the case initially. They want to have a winning season. It would make this season a success for them. We have to jump them early and let get them to somewhat quit. That is going to be extremely difficult with this Detroit team though. They are not only building a team, but they are also building a new culture.

Let one of them though and tell Caleb to grind him in the ground and land on top of him. That will slow that bull**** down too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest I hope Detroit has something to play for if not they'll be more dangerous. They'll play more loose and take more chances.

fattlipp Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) So if Seattle wins, the Lions have nothing to play for, but spoiler. panthers gave the blueprint, just have to repeat it. Edited January 2, 2023 by fattlipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
