Last year the Lions were 1-6 heading into week 9. They went 8-2 the rest of the way. Which team, with a horrible record right now, do you think will finish the season off strong and be a spoiler along the way?
Last year the Dolphins were 8-3 heading into week 13 and then finished off with 5 straight losses, almost missing the playoffs. Which team, with a great record right now, do you think will end the year with a bad streak of losses?
My fear is that my Lions are about to come up against a bunch of bad losses. 5 divisional games (which always can go either way) two of which are against the Vikings who are putting together a streak and getting healthy plus 2 more against the Bears who have a mobile QB that seem to give the Lions D fits. Plus the Cowboys! Maybe its the 30 year Detroit fan in me expecting the worst, but I fear them even losing the division. Its set up too perfectly for us Lions fans to have the proverbial "ball pulled out by Lucy" in week 16-18.
Although I am of course biased, I could see us making a late season run and probably not make the playoffs, but at least play spoiler. The rams have honestly played a lot better than their record this season, a bunch of one possession games which could have gone either way, only two truly abysmal showings. With Stafford hopefully healthy the rest of the way and the toughest games on our schedule being seattle this week (who have struggled against us in the McVay era), Cleveland without a QB, the ravens, and the 49ers who could be resting starters week 18, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this team go on a run the rest of the way out
I thought he tore something in his thumb?
I feel like he did that with us one year and suddenly his passing accuracy plummeted.
