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

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

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

I think Dan Marino Dolphin teams as well. He could never overcome the bad defense they seemed to always have

 

[EpochLink]

Dagger.

Washington is going to the NFC Championship game

 

[southsideIrish]

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

Yeah the injury excuse only goes so far - this has been disgraceful.

Add to that turning the ball over 4x - yikes. Getting embarrassed esp. at home.

 

[Troy McClure]

The fact both teams only have one punt tells you how bad both defenses have been. The Lions have also moved the ball with ease.

 

[GKJ]

The defenses being what they are, the Lions are losing this game because of turnovers. If you need to speedball everyone to win, you can't turn the ball over. You can't do it even less in the playoffs, but the margins narrow if you're playing games in the 30's.

 

[Reality Check]

They had a historic number of injuries. Mainly on the defensive side of the ball. What you're seeing are practice squad guys.

Spare me that bullshit.

 

[CupofOil]

Lions fan here. What a bunch of choke artists, frauds, complete waste of a season. Just overall disgusted by them being utterly unprepared to play this game.

This is why I don't think Aaron Glenn should be getting a HC gig.

They had too many toys and wanted to play with them all.

This is not just about injuries man. Goff with two horrible throws, Ben Johnson with ridiculously stupid play calls, 12 men on the field on a 4th down. Washington didn't even have to do much, the Lions choked, the injuries are only a part of the story.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Why is the mental midget Washington coach calling a timeout when his kicker is on the field.

 

[GKJ]

Sack isn't how you do it

 

[Panthaz89]

Could be a bit spicy if the Lions can score a TD fast.

 

[Master P]

What a great end to the greatest season in lions history.

Which I already stated earlier in this thread.

But I will push on anyone here is who attempts to say injuries don't matter.

What kind of soulless monster would root against this Detroit Lions team?

 

[Master P]

What kind of soulless monster would root against this Detroit Lions team?

f*** the lions and Dan Campbell.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Smart people.

They certainly showed enough shots of the coaching yelling to call time out on that one.

That happens when you have a lot of guys who otherwise wouldn't be on the field.

This #40 took one snap on defense all season and all of a sudden he's playing nickel and has Kerry Joseph who had to physically put him in the correct position at one point.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

f*** the lions and Dan Campbell.

It wouldn't be the greatest season anyway. They won Championships in the 50's.

 

[CupofOil]

Oh for sure, they missed Hutchinson, McNeil and Davis arguably their three most important defensive players so it was definitely a factor. The disappointing thing about this game is if they merely play their game and don't turn the ball over, it's more than likely a win. Turnovers a part of it but this is a team that prided itself in playing smart and sound football and I have no idea who these imposters were out there tonight.

Well said - Detroit was still favored by 9 coming into this game despite their injuries. 4 turnovers, bad play calls, penalties...the list is pretty long.

Well that's gonna be incorrect.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Holy shit. Congrats @Red Rocking @ SirClintonPortis.....What a crazy season for your boys.

 

[Panthaz89]

Lol at the you just need an onside kick and a hail mary comment from Brady.
