This and watch out for the turf monster

We could be in the Playoffs already before playing this game.

Yeah but let's win it to make double-sure we're in it.
And Rivers may have done nicely last week in his get-back game, but
let's show him what this game has become and destroy his comeback dreams!

No more cake walks on our schedule.

As dj said, this is pretty much the start of our playoffs. Colts may end up imploding and missing out but realistically we're playing a playoff level squad in their house on Monday Night Football. If the squad isn't all systems go for this one we can easily give old man Rivers his first win as a 40 year old.

Biggest issue in this game is 100% containing their running game and making sure Jonathan Taylor is held in check. If we manage to do that we should win the game.

But if we let them run the ball on us similar to what the Titans did yesterday we're heading home 10-5.

I certainly hope we get some guys back but I'm concerned by the injuries we suffered in this last game. If Burford has to miss time or if Pearsall...the offense will feel it and simply put the defense just isn't good enough to make up for it.

Let's hope they bring their best for primetime games. We're 3-0 so far and I'd love to finish the season undefeated when we're the only game on TV

Going to be at the game! Rivers prob better than their alternatives, but barely. He's even more of a statue and can't throw far down the field accurately. This is a sellout on the run, game.

Remaining optimistic about stopping Taylor because they were able to shut down Bijan Robinson. I like the defense's chances, assuming we have a majority of Bethune, Kendricks, YGM and Sam O on the field.

I like our chances too. If the defense continues to improve, we're going to make a deep run.

If ANY of the below three things happen, we make the playoffs:

We win one more game.

The Lions lose one more game.

The Packers finish 0-3.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it's those three things and only one of them needs to happen.

The Lions play the Steelers on Sunday.

Watching some of Rivers highlights from yesterday…..he's not anywhere as bad as some are saying he is but there's one thing for sure, he's almost a dead ringer look alike to the fat kid QB that played for Kentucky back in the day lol

Is anybody saying Rivers was bad? I feel like the consensus was he did amazing for a 44-year-old who hasn't played in 5 years.

He wasn't great obviously, but given the expectations he did well.
