1. Brian would be a fool to sign a new contract now when he soon can talk to other team!

2. I agree that most people expected the Lions to beat the Vikings. I know the Vikings have a good defense. However, an injured O-Line and Brosmer should have been a loss. The Vikings needed a straight flush and got it. That how much the chances were against a Vikings win.

   If Flores ends up.A Head Coach next year, he deserves it. If Flores is a defensive coach for another team, it would make my blood boil as a 66 year old Vikings fan.

   I like your foot ball analysis even when I disagree with your take.

3. I’m going to present this above board. A reconning was due to Dirty Dan Campbell. I’m grateful that it came early v the Vikings. Dirty Dan, you need to elevate. You Dirty. If you elevate up, you would’ve won.

4. And you love every min of it too florio…just remember, having swept us or not your vikes still suck.

5. 1 seeds that lose in the divisional round rarely make the playoffs the following season. There’s many examples. The lions window slammed shut when they lost to the commy’s in the playoffs.

6. Watch the replays of this game and watch how many times Goff got wrecked by multiple people in less than 2 seconds. So many plays where defensive players had an unmolested clear line to the QB. Horrible protection. The center kept screwing up the snaps. I don't know of any QB who would do great in that scenario. Overall Goff has been fantastic this year while playing under pressure every game. They are lucky he didn't get hurt this game.

7. Regarding the Vikings quarterback decision, that falls on the GM. He is paid to make those decisions. He is also paid to draft well. So far, not good.

8. If Jerry Jones had a brain, he'd make Flores the highest paid DC in the league. Maybe even by double!

9. THE BETS ARE IN🤨

10. Jared Goff is not the guy. Too many FIVE turnover games.

11. How do you put out a clip on the Lions and veer off into a completely unrelated subject for most the video? I feel like a lot of these talking heads do this crap and it's insulting.

12. Not one of these talking heads has linked to, the Vikings have stop the Cowboys and lions, out of the playoffs Next is the Packers.

13. Goff is the least of the Lions problems, in my opinion. The pressure on Goff was relentless – the pressure was constant and crazy. One of his fumbles was the center screwing up the snap count. The Lions would never have had the previous few years without Goff and Campbell. Our offensive line was losing every on every play. The last thing the Lions need to do is get rid of Goff or Campbell. They need some new coaches – Campbell needs that help.

14. Their O-line and D-line are in existant. What, did they have like their 3rd string center starting last night?

15. If there is a god in heaven, the Fords will take that team and move it to, like, Mexico City. Please, Lord. 68 years. Please Lord, how much can a man take?

16. Us NY Jets fans would gladly give them back Coach Aaron Glenn.

17. It’s a big NO not to hire Brian Flores

18. What’s wrong is the Ford family has owned a money making, losing team since 1963.

    The Lions are definitely “Ford Tough”!😂😂😂

19. The entire defensive secondary is on IR. The O-line has been so bad this year Ragnow was going to come out of retirement to help. Both guards are rookies and Sewell and St. Brown have been hurt since like week 3. The team has also lost 3 coordinators in the last 12 months.
    I kinda feel like you expecting them to win the Superbowl with all of this going on is a YOU problem.
    This wasn't the year. This was never going to be the year. This was a "see what we've got with the coaching staff" year. And then the injuries.

20. I'm not quite following your assessment,. The lions and Vikings have the same record right ? So how do we have a fundamental flaw and your Vikings don't? Hmmm…. I'm having a hard time understanding all of this. We know what the issue is, it's the o line, and the secondary. We're missing how many all pro all world players. And add ragnow to that list. So I reiterate what are you trying to say? Before yesterday Goff had 5 ints on the season, I'd argue that's better than last year. I digress, you're just taking the lazy journalistic approach.

21. Didn't the Lions have a large number of injuries this season?

22. What's wrong is that the Vikings have their number.
