Love really does hurt.

Oh look another Lions Thanksgiving game. Oh look another Lions Thanksgiving loss. Oh look another shocked person who isn't me. Oh look I'm having doubts of any fucking playoff run this year. Oh look maybe we did still need Ben Johnson. Oh look fuck you Jerry Jones.

So the Lions lose at home to the Packers on Thanksgiving. Why am I surprised. It's their fucking tradition after all. The Lions LOVE losing on Thanksgiving. Last year was a fucking fluke. Lions win the coin toss and defer. Surely this whatever fucking defense we have can stop the Packers starting on their own 17 right? Uh... nope. This Packers team already looks like the one we saw in week fucking one. 2 times we can't stop Green Bay on 3rd down. However though with 3rd and 10 from the Lions 27, a Jordan Love incompletion leads to Green Bay conceding 3. With we gave up zero but... it's whatever. So now the Lions get the ball-son of a bitch they go 3 and out. Yeah it's going to be a "great" game ain't it? When Goff can't have even a half fucking second to throw the damn ball. Surprisingly Green Bay themselves go 3 and out. Does Detroit do anything with the ball now? Nope! Although St. Brown does get injured. Oh fucking joyful days. More injuries. That's what I want to see on Thanksgiving. And on 3rd and 15, Green Bay is like? You know? Goff can't do shit. Let's make him do even more not shit and have Micah Parsons take him down (Along with another defensive player). Maybe Green Bay go 3 and out? I mean in just a couple plays it's 3rd and 2... maybe... oh wait no never mind I guess Josh Jacobs can run 29 fucking yards. That's cool. Another 3rd down stop opportunity down the damn drain. At least we do put Green Bay on 4th down from our 34 LOL OF COURSE WE DON'T! Love just chucked that ball down the field with no worry because he knew it was a free play. Fucking piss ass. But now it's 4th and 3 from our 22. And Green Bay is keeping their offense on the field. Just need to stop them, it's our ball, and fuck me Love connects with Dontayvion Wicks for a 22 yard touchdown. Alright cool it's 10-0 Packers. But holy shit can't you believe it? Detroit... RESPONDED? A 22 yard pass to Jamo? Gibbs with an 18 yard run? 3rd and 13 a fucking TWENTY-THREE YARD PASS TO KENNEDY? 3rd and Goal at the 3. I think the Lions were doing something a tad similar to what they tried during the Chiefs game. Though this time Goff was already well set and Monty... once he got the direct snap just took the ball in himself for the 6!

Alright it's a 3 point game! Maybe there's a chance. We just need to stop Green Bay... which is absolutely what we do not do. More... MORE fucking 3rd downs we CANNOT FUCKING STOP THEM. I swear this defense starts getting fucking boners on 3rd down and gets distracted trying to stop Green Bay. No matter at least a false start will set Green Bay back to a 4th and 6 from the sev... the fuck do you mean Green Bay called timeout? WHAT DO YOU MEAN GREEN BAY CALLED A FUCKING TIMEOUT? I'm sorry but unless something secretly happened behind the scenes which I didn't see... THE FUCKING OFFENSIVE LINEMAN CLEARLY JUMPED WELL BEFORE LAFLEUR CALLED THE TIME OUT! I know people were saying he was verballing calling it... at the same time the play sheet was covering his mouth? So apparently Green Bay calls timeout which takes away any fucking timeout and Green Bay gets the fucking touchdown to make it 17-7... holy fuck the refs put money on Green Bay. So... with just over 2 minutes to go before halftime... does Detroit dare do anything? They've been really fucking bad at trying to do anything scoring wise before the end of a half so far this year. Surely they won't go 65 yards in 7 plays in 1 minute and 47 seconds and give Jamo a touchdown to make it a 3 point game again oh wait they do... huh... wait Detroit scored a 2nd touchdown in this game? Well shit I'll be damned. Plus Detroit gets the ball to start the 2nd half! They're running down the field quite nicely! Sure it's 3rd and 2 at the Packers 46. But all they need is 2 yards... until Gibbs gets stopped for a loss of 1...... annnnd then a-fucking-gain for a loss of 2 and it's a turnover on downs and Green Bay scores a touchdown in 2 plays and 37 seconds with a 51 yard touchdown to Christian Watson for 51 fucking yards because fuck me right? I mean that is almost identical to what happened in week 1 with a 2 play Green Bay touchdown drive. But once again! Detroit responds! Starting with a fucking 24 yard... TWENTY-FOUR YARD scramble from Goff! GOFF! He doesn't fucking run how do you let him go 24 yards??? Then it's a 13 yard reception for Monty, 14 more on a run from him... and fuck it a 17 yard bullet to TeSlaa right in the fucking end zone.

So it's a 3 point game again. Let's just get one... ONE STOP! Do we? NO! We almost did when Romeo Doubs fumbled the ball... to which then was recovered by Green fucking Bay. And a 3rd and 1 stop was null and voided with a fucking defensive face mask fucking piss. So Green Bay scores a touchdown and it's a 10 point game a-I swear every time we have a fucking chance to do something, Green Bay strips it right away from us. And sometimes, Dan Campbell decides to be a fucking dumbass and end a good drive with NO FUCKING POINTS because he thinks it's a good idea to go for it on 4th and 3 IN FUCKING FIELD GOAL RANGE! JAKE BATES EXISTS! FUCKING USE HIM! But no instead of making it a 1 score game, it's a 2 score game with now a desperate fucking needed stop... which we surprisingly get. Surprisingly Green Bay goes 3 and out for the first time in forever. Now we need a desperate score. Not so easy though when Goff is sacked for a loss of fucking 8 yards. 3rd and 15 from our own 33? No chance. Not when he's sacked AGAIN. The drive only continues after an Illegal Contact call on Green Bay. Holy fuck the chance is alive. I'll gladly take a 44 yard pass for Jamo. He's been a big star in this game especially after the St. Brown injury... oh yeah... he was ruled out by the way. If you were wondering. 1st and Goal at the 4. Touchdown time!... incompletion... incompletion... sack... oh now campbell realizes jake bates exists. cool. Lions don't go for an onside kick and somehow trust their fucking defense can stop Green Bay. 3rd and 5? Love with an 8 yard pass to Watson. 3rd and 3 later down the stretch? Incomplete! Alright yes this is good we're gonna get the ball ba-fuck Green Bay is going for it. Alright... spread the defense out, stop Green Bay at all costs, Love throws to Wicks for 16 yards and the game is over fucking bitch ass. Love takes his stupid knees and the Packers sweep the Lions for the first time since 2020... so let me get this straight... last year we went a perfect 6-0 in the NFC North. This year? We're one and fucking three holy fuck. I mean shit I think we got to start tanking at this point. I mean not that a playoff trip isn't possible at 7-5. Although it's not entirely easy.

I really am concerned about the last few weeks. If dare we want ANY playoff hopes... I mean at this point? We really want to win 4 of our last 5 games? Do I think it's possible? Call me fucking crazy but yes. I do. I am very hopeful and optimistic that we can beat the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football, beat the Steelers, Vikings, and Bears. The game in Los Angeles against the Rams will be... tough. If in any way we can go 4-1 to end the season... go 11-6... that could definitely secure us a playoff spot. Probably not a threepeat division title unless somehow Green Bay and Chicago fucking collapse. If we do make the playoffs and not win the division... here are my ideal scenarios... Bears win the NFC North and are the 2 seed and the Lions are the 7. Dare I say I'd be convinced Detroit would shut Chicago the fuck down as Wild Card stunner. OR... Detroit is the 5th seed and plays whoever the fuck wins the NFC South. Whether that be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the Carolina Panthers. Both I think Detroit could beat easily. Those would be ideal situations. Whether either will happen is unknown.

For all we know Detroit could also go 1-4 to end their season.
