Yea the good news from today is the division is WIDE open right now. No real front runners. Hell the Lions are tied for 3rd place in our division currently (woof)
Whomstever comes out of the north will only get housed by either the Eagles or Rams in the playoffs… the only recent NFC teams with pedigree, receipts, trophies, track record, ad nausea.. Until otherwise proven, no other NFC team is serious, even the Lions.
Ok, I know today sucked, but this isn’t true. We are second behind the Packers. We have the head to head over the Bears. Vikings are in last. If you don’t want to count the head to head because we play again, we’re tied for 2nd, not 3rd.
What scares me most is the absolute beating Goff took. If we can’t run the ball our pass blocking has been below average all season. It’s only a matter of time before they get Goff hurt.
Even saint was dropping passes today. The entire team was just off. The silver lining is if they hold to pattern and win next week coming off this loss.
1/2 game out of first. Just like we were before the game. Except more Oline concerns going forward. And a new OC that doesn’t seem to be able tho scheme around it.
I’m concerned about both. The Lions are currently sneaking into the playoffs as the 7th seed. The Lions have a really difficult schedule as well… I know we all just sort of assume getting into the playoffs is a given - but it might not be. Division games are huge.
