The bogus turnover call was, of course, upheld by the useless talking heads on Fox. That was clearly a TD, Tate was clearly across the goal line as a runner before the ball got knocked out, and that's called a TD. It's easy to believe that there is active fixing going on to ensure big gambling windfalls by the bent-nose types running much of sports gambling. IOW, that should benefit the Lions today, eh?

I think they can get to an 8:8 record, but that's about it. As we saw in the Seahawks game, they can bring it down to the last play, and hang with anyone. They are so inconsistent that any of these L's or W's could flip either way.

If Stafford has one more game like he did against Arizona, the Lions will be in the market for two QBs, one from the past and one for the future. Stafford's no kid, he's got maybe two seasons left and zero championships in him. His lack of championships isn't all on him -- the Lions historically lack an O-line -- but unless they run the table the rest of the season (and they were looking at a probable 1:4 or 2:3 start at the beginning of the season) and finish 11:5 (I don't think anyone thinks they can do that) which will be the minimum to reach a Wild Card (I don't think anyone would be surprised to see the Packers finish 16:0), they aren't going to the playoffs this year, period.

I think they can get to an 8:8 record,

Only if there were eight games left and those teams forfeit.....They'll be lucky if they get 5 wins. 5 or 8, there's really no difference..........

In the past 30 years they've only had 9 seasons where they were above .500.......that's disgraceful!

It's time the NFL forces the Ford's to sell the Lions to a responsible party.......
