Does anyone really like Lions to win NFC with current state of their defense?

[BigJay]

This thread may not age well but man SF just went up and down the field on them

How will this play out for the Lions in the playoffs?

They are so banged up on D

My pops Detroit native...his dad, my gramps? Jew Ford factory worker that took on to his ancestor horse traders and became a car salesman(the baz family line was into car sales going back to horse trading I was the first to break it).....My pops Lions even make it to the big game????

Yes

Detroit vs KC Superbowl

One of the highest rated ever

 

[Wagerallsports]

Detroit’s season will come to an end in the playoffs against Philadelphia because of the difference in the two defenses

They are looking a little porous against good offenses.

Lasst 4 weeks.
Dec 5 vs GB gave up 31 points
Dec 15 vs Buff gave up 48 points
Dec 22 vs CHI - NA (Chi sucks)
Dece 30 vs SF gave up 35 points

Will their banged up D players be back for playoffs? Hopefully, they beat MIN next week to have a week off to recover better.

Worked for the Patriots during the prime Brady years - Defense can be $#!T if your offense is high-power and will just simply score on every possession…..

They better hope they beat Minny Tank.

I think it’s their only chance to survive NFC if they have home field but I still don’t see it

Possible. But not probable at this point IMO

They are exciting as hell though

For the Lions to make it to the Super Bowl they better get home field advantage. They play so much better in that dome environment but I don't trust their defense to get crucial stops so I think a team like the Rams, Vikings or Eagles can get them. Possibly even the Bucs if they were to match up against them. All those teams have great offenses and I think last night showed that as long as you take care of the ball you can put up points against that swiss cheese D.

Lions are 8-0 on the road this season

For what it’s worth

DET needs #1 seed or probably toast.

Yeah I don't see them winning without it. In the playoffs you have to be able to get off the field on defense and I just don't see them doing that against good offenses which you have with just about all of the potential opponents the Lions will end up facing in the playoffs.

They will get clipped
Maybe Tampa

Hard to "really" like any team in the NFC

But they look like the best team

And I think they'll get the 1 seed

I’m looking forward to Lions-Vikes Sunday nighter
