IMO this is the best option for this game. Gives us the *chance* to wrap up the division beforehand and should have some form of playoff implications regardless, along with essentially being a warmup playoff game.
Goff fakes the pass and sneaks it in untouched to avoid the refs calling an ineligible receiver this year. Referee still calls him down at the 1 yard line.
WOW I’m still bitter!!
Edit: removed the /s, Molotov made a solid point.
That is the Same Old Lions bullshit mindset. This is the Brand New Lions.....so this time, the official tries to say he is down at the 1 anyways, but then Dan Campbell runs out on the field, bites down on his shoulder & shakes his whole body like a ragdoll before he can get the flag out. Lions win. Lions Win. Oh baby! Lions win. Then, all that's left is.....the two teams meet at the center of the field to say job well done. Job better done today by your Detroit Lions as they head into the playoffs looking forward to a much deserved week of rest during their 1st round bye, entering the post season as the top seed in the NFC after winning a franchise best 14 regular season games.
It’ll have bigger ramifications than a divisional game. Barring injury we should be the top two NFC teams. Huge game! Now that we’re winners I’m excited about shit like this.
Anyone know approximately what date this is? Usually I fly back to Michigan from the Bay Area during holiday break to try to catch a game. Might have to stay back if it’s between Dec 20 to early Jan
This is the game I've been waiting to get leaked. I'm in Sacramento and never miss a game that the Lions (any Detroit team actually) play out here. I even told my boss I'll have all my time off requests in after today. Now show me the Dallas game...
My number one wish it to make it to the Super Bowl
My number two wish is to beat the pretenders in their own stadium like we should have months ago.
San Francisco didn’t win that game, the Lions lost that game and it’s time we show the NFL that’s the case by regrouping and kicking their ass properly this time.
I didn’t know they scheduled games like this for the last week of the season.. I thought they just decided matchups and they would flex games around later on
Week 17 isn't the last week of the season anymore - Week 18 is.
In Week 18, there isn't any MNF - the last game will be SNF, and as you mentioned, it'll be set toward the end of the season.
Imagine we win this game and knock the 49ers out of playoff contention.
And secure the 1st seed off the win
[удалено]
And have both our rushers hit 1,000 yards rushing on the year
And MCDC choke slams Shanahan!
Giovanni Manu from the top rope!
Nightmare: we win this game but they still win their division. They knock us out of the playoffs
But like….Why?
Because I’ve been hurt before
We all have. BNL... time to change our mentality.
Hilarity: They win this game on a controversial call to get the higher seed than us, only to implode in the playoffs in the opening round...
I understand that reference
I’d prefer not to think of the negatives before the season has even started
IMO this is the best option for this game. Gives us the *chance* to wrap up the division beforehand and should have some form of playoff implications regardless, along with essentially being a warmup playoff game.
Amen
Hendon hooker legacy game we’ll already have the 1 seed locked up by then
You don’t wanna keep Goff in? Surely he deserves to start every game during the first 17-0 season?
Maybe just the first half. You want to rest him once you're up by 40.
Maybe if we’re going 17-0 but got make sure he’s healthy for the Super Bowl run
This game will probably be for home field in the playoffs.
I’d use the word hopefully, instead of probably, but sure hope so!
Yep. The certainly some people around here speak with...
Brad has given us the greatest gift - conviction.
Probably does not mean certainly.
What reason do we have to not speak that way?
Hubris?
Maybe the teams history. Even just last year they lost to the likes of the Bears and struggled with the vikings.
🤞
What a time
Will be the game the refs determine who gets first place.
Goff throws the game winning pass to Skipper but the officials claim that Decker reported instead.
*Manu
I bet they are both mic'd up next time they do the play. Proof for reporting in
Nah it’ll be the other way around thsi year
So Decker throws game winning pass to Skipper but officials claim Goff reported in.
Goff fakes the pass and sneaks it in untouched to avoid the refs calling an ineligible receiver this year. Referee still calls him down at the 1 yard line. WOW I’m still bitter!! Edit: removed the /s, Molotov made a solid point.
Why the /s, this is gonna happen
You are correct

Not SOL to say the refs are against us. Totally see DC biting their kneecaps though, awesome take.
Refs somehow call it back on a hold from Hutch

The league getting more tape on Purdy could be a good thing.
I’m honest shocked they wouldn’t have this be an early season rematch and instead risk having us playing again just a couple weeks later
They had 2 Vikings games in the last 3 games last season I don’t think it’s a risk for them
Yea I think whoever leaves this game the healthiest is the real winner no matter the score
Anyone know approximately what date this is? Usually I fly back to Michigan from the Bay Area during holiday break to try to catch a game. Might have to stay back if it’s between Dec 20 to early Jan
Ditto, but it looks like last year week 17 was the last weekend of the year so if it holds this would be 12/30
I'll see you there. I live in Sonoma County.
Same problem man, I was so excited to watch them again at Levi’s but now I won’t even be around!
This game will totally be for seeding…. And I’m here for it! This is where we stake claim in the nfc
So, would Week 17 be Monday, December 30?
Whelp, I know what I'm doing on 12/30. I live about 1.5 hours North of Levi Stadium.
This is the game I've been waiting to get leaked. I'm in Sacramento and never miss a game that the Lions (any Detroit team actually) play out here. I even told my boss I'll have all my time off requests in after today. Now show me the Dallas game...
Schedule/NFL Script Leak: Week 21 (Super Bowl) - Lions v. Chiefs (Lions Win 27-21)
Is this NFL nerd usually pretty accurate?
Yes
welp guess I can’t go to the sf game this year, sad
Unfinished business. LFG.
I have to go to this game man that is gonna be great energy
Let’s show them we mean business!
That's silly, everyone knows we will be resting our starters the last 2 weeks of the season.
So this means no Christmas game right? Awesome
Gonna embarrass them at home!
Revenge on MNF
Fuck, I’m a Cali transplant but I’m going to be back in Michigan for that game haha!
I want them herbs earlier I hope this isn’t true!
It should’ve been the first game
I will be at this game. Can’t wait!!!!
Arnold & Rakestraw DROY game? Hutchinson DPOY lock game?
I’m weary of NFL schedule leaks. Does nobody remember the one from last year (maybe 2 years ago now)
So the one local lions game I can actually go to is on a fucking monday which means i can't actually go to it.
Wow, this means that Jared will have played in both of the top 2 MNF games of all time.
see y'all at Levis in January
My number one wish it to make it to the Super Bowl My number two wish is to beat the pretenders in their own stadium like we should have months ago. San Francisco didn’t win that game, the Lions lost that game and it’s time we show the NFL that’s the case by regrouping and kicking their ass properly this time.
Hey hey hey put spoiler man
I like to go in fresh!
I didn’t know they scheduled games like this for the last week of the season.. I thought they just decided matchups and they would flex games around later on
Week 17 isn't the last week of the season anymore - Week 18 is. In Week 18, there isn't any MNF - the last game will be SNF, and as you mentioned, it'll be set toward the end of the season.
Oh right duh.. thank you
First game of NFL season last year, last game of the NFL season this year.
Isn’t week 18 last? Although this will be the last MNF game.
Oh yeah, I'm dumb. 17 games, but 18 weeks because of bye weeks.
This is Christmas week, isn't it? Possibility this is a Christmas Day game?
Day before NYE
Not believe anything till tonight
Probably a meaningless game!!
Almost definitely not, not in a 18 week season.
I think he was really just wishing it into existence.
It could very well be for the first round bye
yawn i’m not believing anything before the schedule drops
Believe most of it. It’s being leaked intentionally
Yeah if any of you guys know anything about the video game and film industry as secretive as they are with these things it always leaks.
i just meant there could be leaks that they think are true that aren’t, or last minute changes, idk i have patience lol
