I think there is a good chance we can use week 18 as a rest week.

Tickets have gotten too expensive. More and more GB fans need to sell seats to half the games to be able to afford going to the other half.
I'd imagine you would have heard a fan response were it not a Thursday night game. Tough for away fans to get to those, especially when it immediately follows a major holiday weekend.
Ya, that doesn't fly: https://www.sportscasting.com/news/nfl- ... ices-2024/
I would hope and that is probably true.
Problem is their front 7 was practice squad players this game and they still pressured Love more than the Pack pressured Goff. We really needed someone who can cover Tim Patrick on a fourth down and someone who could get to Goff in the 4th Q. A third game and the Lions D will be better. Not insurmountable but certainly not insignificant.
They were sending the house and we didn't respond particularly well the first 2 drives. Who knows what happens if Watson doesn't fumble on the 3rd.lake shark wrote: ↑06 Dec 2024 09:07Problem is their front 7 was practice squad players this game and they still pressured Love more than the Pack pressured Goff.
it may, who's to say, 4th and short from your side of the field is risky, sure, but giving the ball back to Love and the Packers with 3 minutes left is risky too, it was a last team with the ball wins scenario situation.Acrobat wrote: ↑06 Dec 2024 08:47I think I feel similar to a lot of folks. I know we lost, but I feel good about the Packers. We definitely showed that we are one of the elite teams in the league. The refs sucked but honestly, if we play them in the playoffs, I would expect the same calls to go in favor of the home team, so we just need a couple other breaks to go our way. I still think we're a year out from being a true Super Bowl Team. Just need a couple extra pieces and players to develop for one more year but we'll be thankful for this experience we've gained the last 2 seasons.
PS. Dan Campbell is both the reason why the Lions will make the Super Bowl and lose the Super Bowl. The dumbest great coach I've ever seen. We could have stopped them on that 4th down and then drove the field and kicked a winning field goal. What's even better is that people are praising him today for it. It'll bite him like it did last year.
I agree we win if we get the ball back. I also think we win if Love doesn’t get pressured immediately on the last offensive play; he finds the open receiver streaking across the back of the ez. Being up by 4 instead of tied would have been huge for the D on the last drive. Therefore I have to tip my hat to the Lions DC to be able to generate pressure with out half his guys.Pckfn23 wrote: ↑06 Dec 2024 09:12They were sending the house and we didn't respond particularly well the first 2 drives.

On defense we tried playing man, but we couldn't hang with Williams. We then went into more Tampa 2 with more injuries even and they were getting the ball out quickly.
Mention the Lions injuries, sure, but their defense didn't do well either. We had injuries that impacted us as well.
They got the ball last. I have the utmost confidence that if we would have gotten then ball with 1 minute remaining and down by 3, we tie that game.
