Super Wild Card Weekend Games Thread

In an era where NFL teams avoid selecting RB’s in the first round, the Lions did not hesitate at pick #12 to select Gibbs. They have stuck with their own plan.

Lions got a lot of hate for a poor draft.

I love what they are doing.

Being an NFL fan during playoffs is so much easier when your team isn’t on the line…

I agree, last week when we were playing Houston, I could barely watch that last drive. My stomach was ruined for the night. This is fun and easy.

[#12.]

We might finally have a game this weekend.  I was getting a little worried.

Can’t leave Puka open like that! He will burn you bad

PFF gave the Lions a B+. ESPN and the NFL Network gave the Lions a B for their draft.

The  experts do it for click-bait. Who knows how a player will do. So much luck is involved in sports.

 

LaPorta, Branch, Gibbs are all contributing.

They took some no name line backer pretty high. Then taking a RB that high was crazy to a lot of fans and media. 

[NFLfan]

I love this! Go Lions.

[Happy2BeHere]

TD lions! Keep that offense rolling. Just gotta get their defense to step up a tad more here.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Goff throwing lasers. 21-10 Lions. Rams can't stop them.

[Happy2BeHere]

I like Dan’s aggressiveness to go for it there…it was risky but man their offense has been clicking. Now, if this was the Colts in that situation I’d be yelling at Steichen to take the 3 points…our offense isn’t explosive like the lions.

Do you know what the "experts" did not like about the draft? At least four of their draft picks are contributing. I forgot to mention Jack Campbell before (plus Gibbs, LaPorta, Brian Branch).

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I doubt Wentz comes in because Stafford is so tough but that would be crazy.

[#12.]

I wanna see Wentz.  Hell, yeah.

Taking a RB high. They also took a no name linebacker pretty high: people were asking what the heck they were doing.

[#12.]

Looks like Stafford's hand is fine.

[#12.]

Yeah, his hand is just fine.  Damn, that throw.

[NFLfan]

Wow. These offenses are so good. That is why the Lions went for it on 4th down.

 

Play to win!

[Happy2BeHere]

Dang it!! Come on lions defense you gotta step up!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We have a shootout.

The only linebacker they took was Jack Campbell. He was not a no name. Many had him going in the first round.

Yes, they got dinged for taking a RB high - according to some, But Jack Campbell was the 2022 Butkus Award winner as the best linebacker in college football.

Still was not a name everyone was thinking should go that high. I don’t watch college football. I had never heard of him I just remember a lot of people saying it was way too high.

[Happy2BeHere]

That was terrible goff

[smittywerb]

Both offenses have been explosive!  Don’t worry, we’ll be like them next year.

[#12.]

We didn’t get Wentz in the game, but Goff did his best impersonation.

I don't remember that. I participated in mock drafts and Jack Campbell was highly rated.

Colts offense will be much more speed out when Richardson gets back. It’s night and day watching the offense when he was in. They will look faster too with the spread out offense.

I would love to get that Odunze kid. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Rarely do you see two quarterbacks traded for each other. Then it be a win win for both teams. Getting Goff in that trade accelerated Detroit being able to win.

[NFLfan]

What a bad call!

I don’t think the Lions care what others say outside their own organization and are happy with the contributions of this draft class. They are after all finally in the playoffs.

[Happy2BeHere]

Bah! That seemed to be offsides that was the wrong call.

[NFLfan]

Detroit always seems to be the victim of bad calls.

[Dobbinblitz]

Hard to imagine that this game could be anymore personal for these two QB’s tonight. By far, the best game of the weekend.

Seems so. 21-17 at the Half.

They could have scored another TD. The refs made a terrible call. So upsetting.
