Lions Injuries
Lions chances of winning the SB getting dimmer and dimmer with all the hits they are taking...in fact, I think the NFC will be represented by GB or Philly.

That team is done and it’s entirely due to injuries.
Feeling an intense sense of gratitude right now for the Chiefs to be where they are and have already accomplished what they’ve done. Not sure the Lions ever bounce back from this to be that good again. |

Exactly. The Chiefs got all these injuries early in the season and still managed only one loss. The worst is over for the Chiefs. It's just starting for the Lions.

The Lions will never get to experience the “Lost to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl” hangover.
Sad really. |

At this point, the NFC is Philly’s to blow and if they did, I’d pick LA or GB before I would pick the Lions and this scab defense.

Oof. Montgomery may be the biggest loss yet.

They need to work on their onside kicks.
Sounds like the defense won't be stopping anybody. |

McNeill is a brutal loss for them.
That defense is MUCH better when he's on his game. And it's seemed like he's been struggling with dings/injuries all year. He was, similar to Hollywood for us, a key to unlocking their ceiling. He's one of those guys that can generate genuine pressure from a 0-technique. Those are more rare even than Jones ability to do so from a 1/3 technique. He's a hell of a player that seemed to be finding his form again over the 2nd half. And that defense was thin anyway - they were flat-out bad last season and they needed every one of the additions they made to get to decent. Yeah - they're gonnna look a lot like the 2018 Chiefs but I don't think Goff is the sort of guy that can pull a game from the fire. He's not a guy who can give them three of the pristine games they'll need from him to get to the SB. That's brutal. Hope they enjoyed all the credit they got for dog-walking shitty teams. Because that's going to be the apex of their season. They may struggle to keep Minnesota behind them at this point.

Its not new that teams without competent defenses don't win Super Bowls. Just ask your Dick Vermiel Chiefs...
Its the fatal flaw with the Lions, Bills, and Ravens imo. I don't think the Steelers have the juice, but I could see them sending someone good home early in the playoffs. I think the Eagles are in a great spot, but don't sleep on the Vikings. |

I wouldn't mind watching my boyz kick Philly's ass again to put a smile on Andy's face.

They’re going to lose to either Min or Chi and allow Philly to take the BYE.

That defense is so ****ed up currently it kind of mitigates those losses if that makes sense. Being able to ride both Montgomery and Gibbs was a vital aspect of that offense that is now gone.

The Vikings will get Seattle likely without Geno next week (and Howell was a disaster last night). So it'll come down to beating the Packers and I just don't buy them as being a really good team. Love makes too many weird decisions. Minnesota could easily get the 1 out of the NFC.

Jesus. 14 players on the Lions defense are seriously hurt.
