NFL GDT: 2024 NFC Divisional Round: (1) Detroit Lions vs (6) Washington Commanders

[No Fun Shogun]

Friends don’t let friends bet on the Lions.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Washington was known as the jokes of the east for so long, but this performance feels like they are officially back. The NFC East is going to be theirs for a while.

 

[Reality Check]

I get Lions have a lot of injuries, but I don't Aaron Glenn is getting any HC gig.

It's going to be the Jets or Saints.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

 

[EpochLink]

Jayden Daniels is the truth.

Like he said, this is ‘just another game’ for him.
Man had ice on his veins.

 

[Master P]

Its time Detroit

 

[Troy McClure]

Feels like we’ve been saying for two months the defensive injuries would be too much for the Lions to overcome. That’s showing up today, but it’s only been made worse by the offense turning the ball over.

 

[StreetHawk]

This Detroit team is a joke

Why did I believe in them to get to the NFC championship game

This was their run and they’ll fall of a cliff

Offence needed to carry the Depleted D. It didn’t, not with multiple turnovers.

 

[Reality Check]

It's been a long while since I've got to say this, but what an incredible time to be a Chicago Bears fan during this NFL postseason.

Well, until you realize you took the wrong QB.

Again.

Yeah, the defense has hit with injuries and it was hard for them to recover.

Washington was a bad matchup for them honestly, Daniels dual threat had them guessing.

 

[GKJ]

You think of how this all started with the kick out of bounds and the failed 4th down with Mariota on the field

 

[Ace]

Still time for two more turnovers

 

[Terry Yake]

welcome to the super bowl philly

 

[Ace]

As someone who believes that defenses are mostly useless in the modern NFL against elite QB play…Daniels outplayed Goff by a lot. A lot, a lot. That’s the difference.

 

[sigma six]

Not over for Detroit, but that D will have to get a stop or two.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Why does anyone hate the Lions?

I just hate the city

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Washington's D is so bad, the burden on Daniels is similar to Peyton Manning carrying those Colts teams.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Well, until you realize you took the wrong QB.

Again.

Williams is and isn't a lot of things but at least for me he's not the wrong QB. Daniels is just a gangster, with a better team and much better coaching. That QB class might prove to be one of the best ever.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Not over for Detroit, but that D will have to get a stop.

If WSH goes all run, DET will key in on that.

 

[Reality Check]

I could Stafford doing the same. Minnesota is hard because that would be a third divisional matchup and those are never a good thing.

I'd feel worse if this Detroit team was actually healthy. But they're not and they lost one of their best players in like week 4.

People are going to shit on them but being healthy matters.

Daniels is going to be good for a long time. Barring breaking down ala RG III.

Losing Hutchinson hurt, he’s the X factor on defense. He for sure was needed today.

 

[Melrose Munch]

Shame on detroit

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Cut it out, if Bears took Jayden they would still be exactly where they are now.

 

[BB88]

Offence needed to carry the Depleted D. It didn’t, not with multiple turnovers.

You’d still think they could have made 1 stop, 1 stop after the start but nope

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Going blitz happy and aggressive was their mistake.
