Same Old Lions vs. BradyPats
Lions don't want to screw up their prime draft position tonight. They will put up a valiant effort but likely fade in the 2nd half.
Patricia appears to be a horrible game coach. Going for the FG when you had a great drive going and only needed 6 inches for a first down is questionable at best.

3:16 left, 13 point lead and the ball. So you're saying there's a chance?!

lions win!!! hahahahaha lions win!!!

Surprised that the Lions did not blow this game in the 4th. Looks like the Patriots are not that good of a team.

Hell froze over tonight. Pats did have three starters out and JG not yet playing.

The evolution of comments in this thread are hilarious.

Rare 1x a year NFL bet.
dont watch lions anymore since Barry retired, tired of them ruining my Sundays.
Friend said to take the Pats and Eagles in a teaser where all they need to do is win straight up.
Well played Lions well played.

Friends back home said (when I told ‘em I was going to Auchtermuchty) where-the-fox-hat.

alright Lions haters, come on down!

Right here. Present and accounted for. I still don't think the Lions are all that good. You all spent the last two weeks absolutely trashing Matt Patricia, saying he was in over his head and never should've been hired. Hey, I would have too after that debacle of a home opener.
Credit where credit is due for beating the Patriots, but can the Lions build on this and keep the momentum going for 13 more games in a brutal NFC North? Survey says......nope. I've seen enough out of this franchise over the years to know that they'll screw it all up somehow. As sure as the sun will rise in the east and set in the west. That will be my assertion until I actually see them prove me wrong.

9 wins, maybe even 8, probably crowns the NFC north.
It's not like they haven't done that lately.
Again, they didn't fold after the pick on the first drive of the 3qr that cut it to 3 and gave life to NE's offence; and then finished going away.
That seems new.

lions have the number 1 pass defense?? if they can stop the run like they did today they can definitley beat the cowboys

Brady doesn't seem to have the fire anymore. I know his team sucks, but they have had rough patches before and I don't remember him looking like this. Maybe that will change when Edelman and Gordon are available. I'd hate to see him go out after a rough year or two.

I am not sure how I feel about the lions after this game. Could someone please start a perspective thread?
September 24th, 2018 at 10:14 AM ^
Perspective? This is MGoBlog, the only applicable perspective for the Lions, fresh off a win over New England, is...
START THE SUPER BOWL PARTY!!!!!

The Lions did look good but if there’s one team that Patricia should be prepared to play and be able to scheme against, it’s the Patriots 8 months removed from coaching there. It would be nice to see the Lions keep this going but also keep in mind the Patriots’ defense has been terrible so far this season.
September 24th, 2018 at 11:25 AM ^
I just saw this thread. That didn't age well.

I'll give Patricia credit for righting the ship, temporarily, but let's be honest: that was not a vintage Patriots team by any stretch.
I think we'll have a better feel for the Loins after Dallas. I really don't like their chances of stopping Elliott.
