Its time to take care of the F#&*%$G Lions...

I'm tired of losing to those bitches...0/3 the last 3 games.

That streak has to end Thursday.

Completely agreed. 3 games given to the Lions, 3 losses. Fluky plays and us beating ourselves. So sick of Stafford, Quin and that group of midget WRs

PUT OUR FOOT ON THEIR THROAT ON SUNDAY

Thanksgiving is going to be a big game for us.  Take care of the lions and have a 3 game lead with 5 to go.  Should be a good game, divisional games are always tough.

It would actually be more like a 3.5 game lead due to conference record. Assuming both the Lions and Vikings take care of their divisional opponents the tie-breaker jumps to conference record. A Vikings win pushes their NFC record to 7-1 with the Lions dropping to 5-4.

The last 3 Lions games all "irk" me because we lost those games ourselves as opposed to the Lions winning. Basically we handed them all 3 games. Going back to 2016 and the first meeting was the OT loss 22-16.
Game 1 Nov 6th. 2016 - Clockgate - 100% coaching clock management issue, game should have been over if Zimmer let the clock run down instead of leaving so much time for Prater to kick a tying FG.
Game 2 - Nov 24, 2016 - 30 secondgate - Sam threw an INT with 30 seconds remaining giving them the ball at our 33 yard line and a game winning FG.
Game 3 - October 1st, 2017 - Fumblitisgate - Cook, leading the NFL in rushing as a rookie, is breaking one down the middle for 10+ yards makes a cut and blows out knee untouched and releases the football in pain. Gives the Lions there only TD of the day leaving the Lions at our 29 yard line.
So all three losses are bad clock and turnovers. On the other hand you have to look at the other team. The Lions have been playing close in all these games and allowing us to make the mistakes while limiting there own. That is not the Lion of old when we all expected and usually saw the Lions meltdown. They are playing our kind of game against us - good defense and no mistake conservative offense.
Here are Stafford's stats for each of the 5 games he has faced Zimmer's Defense:

Stafford's vs Zimmer  3-2 record
	CMP	ATT	YDS	CMP%	AVG	LNG	TD	INT	QBR	RAT
2017  10/1    Lions win 14-7	19	31	209	61.3	6.74	38	0	0	23.3	81.3
2016  11/24  Lions win 16-13	23	40	232	57.5	5.8	41	1	0	77.1	82.5
2016  11/6    Lions win in OT 22-16	23	36	219	63.9	6.08	28	2	1	74.8	87.6
Stafford's totals in last 3 wins	65	107	660	60.7%	6.21		3	1
2015  10/25  Vikes win 28-19	18	26	256	69.2	9.85	55	2	0	38.5	126.4
2015  9/20    Vikes  win  26-16	32	53	286	60.4	5.4	19	2	1	62.1	79.6
Stafford's totals in first 2 losses	50	79	542	63.3%	7.63		4	1

We have held Stafford below his season averages in almost every category and have held him in check. Hi best game was the loss on 10/25 with a nice 126 QBR. But other then that one really good game in a loss he has a very low YPA and below his averages in terms of completion % and QBR.

It is not Stafford that is beating us it is us beating us and it has to stop for Thanksgiving!

A-F&*KING-MEN.  I believe the law of averages will tilt this game in our favor.  No way does this team beat itself again vs Detroit.  I can’t see it, they don’t beat us, they don’t run up and down on us, Stafford doesn’t throw for 400 against us.  We just beat ourselves.  

sick of Stafford, Fat Prater, Glover Quin and that group of smurfs at WR and their attitude.  This Thursday, we jump down their throat, then batter the hell out of them.  No come back happening on Thanksgiving.
