Detroit Lions 2024 Season Thread

2 questions for Mr. Bowling:

Can the Lions defy injured reserve gravity for 11th game in a row?

Can the Lions get houthis healthy by the playoffs?

They obviously overcame injuries by an aggressive offense. Don't know if that works vs Buffalo or Philly.

If they can get the #1 seed, that would mean a lot in terms of getting guys healthy, especially if they have that locked up by the final week of the season, and give guys 2 weeks off.

It's all to be seen.

With San Fag losing and being practically eliminated, that game at San Fag becomes another easy win. That should make Vikings finale irrelevant unless Vikings and Eagles don't lose and 1 holds the TB. Just have to win 3 more.

If I got this right, goofy playoff format knocks Lions from 1 to 5 seed if they lose division which means possibly 3 road games instead of 2 home games. Ridiculous.

Meanwhile, season ticket prices for 2025 were announced by the Lions.

For my seats, another 29% increase. Over the past two years, the increase was 100%!

2023 $2858
2024 $4418
2025 $5698

Because Buffalo is AFC, Lions still and will hold TB over Eagles. Vikings right now but not sure if they lose to them.

I am going to lose J Money but this is a nice result. I am now confident the Bills can dethrone the Swifties and Lions can still secure #1.

I like that Coach C understands the importance of saving timeouts. Need 3 for defense. Finally called 1 with 25 seconds left.

His only mistake was regular onsides. I'd do a regular kickoff and try to land a curveball on the 19 yard line.

That onside call at 12 min was a high success for failure that really came back to bite Detroit. This replaces the 4th down call at the end of last week in terms of debate.

Only the execution. Normal recovery ok. Like I posted. There is a hidden onsides available with regular kickoffs but no coach has figured it out. Land ball in the target zone and go Tigger bouncing.

Wrong. As soon as he uses 1 timeout, pretty much guarantees onsides or bust. Preserve timeouts until you have no choice. Try to score with at least 30 seconds left so if you miss onsides, you will still at least have enough time left to force a punt if you get a 123 stop. Campbell's mistake was not doing an onsides off a regular kickoff. Should be practiced to perfection. Find the ground anywhere inside the 20 yard target zone. There is only 1 or 2 assholes who can recover it before the cavalry arrives.

I noticed the two kids sitting in front of me had their DK apps open, one was making bets every play. I took some pictures of his screen to see what he was betting on.

He was firing off live bets on what the play would be, or who would get the receptions, etc, at a $1,000 a pop.

He was working with about $25,000 of balance in his account. All game long. They couldn't have been more than 23 years old.

The season now rests on the shoulders and arm of Jared Goof. 3 games regular season. 3 games playoffs. Needs to be flawless.

Same thing happened with Heat Culture last season. Injury after injury after injury. In the end, it was too much.

We might be able to stop Chicago, don't know about SF, but I don't think we are beating Minny. We might go from hosting 3 playoff games to on the road for all games.

Vikings lose to Bears, Lions beat Bears, Lions have TB. But if they both win and Vikings beat Lions:

Tied record
Tied division record
Tied NFC record

What is TB #4?
