They may split with the Vikes but this team will not win the other 3. They are on a 4 game run and won 2 that they eeked out agonist teams they should have dominated. packers and bears are going in the right direction and the Lions are going the wrong way for December. This is very unlike a Dan Campbell team for sure and maybe he has some magic up his sleave but he would have pulled it out in the last 4 weeks if he did. The D has to be better to be taken as a serious playoff team. And if you ask me we are seeing Goff's limitations. If they are going to go after a superbowl they will need to upgrade at QB.

And even if they pull a rabbit out of their hat and the refs help them and everything goes great and they win this.... I stand by all this.
quit kidding yourelves. the lions will not win again this season. and they dont deserve to. they better not extend Goff. he is absolute garbage.
The problem (edit: *one of the problems) with Goff is that he seems absolutely unwilling to throw the ball downfield. If you stack the middle of the field against him, he will either hold the ball and take a sack, or worse...force the ball into tight windows over the middle anyway. Even though he supposedly has one of the strongest arms in the league and can throw the ball almost 70 yds, he simply cannot seem to lead Jamo on a deep ball, and virtually never tries those throws anyway. A speedster like Jamo is wasted with Goff in the backfield.

I definitely blame the offense on this game more than the defense. The defense played well enough to win. Outside of the first quarter they played okay.
