We’ll see. The final game of the regular season in Seattle will be very interesting !

Is it the first 8 consecutive seasons? Because I'm pretty sure Tom Brady has never had a losing season.

Still cool though. Wilson is a stud.

Quinn/Patricia, Lions GM/Coach (Former NE'ers) are hearing the drums of doom in Detroit after the pitiful showing against the lowly Redskins!

Threat of a "No show" movement for Thanksgiving game against the Chicago Bears! What the hey, after 62 years of nothing, (One playoff game), the Detroit fans getting restless. At least the owner, Martha Ford, gave them cheerleaders!

i was a kid when Bobby Lane took 'em to a few titles. It was a joy to be in the bleachers on Sundays with the snow falling and , as I got older, the Southern Comfort passing around. This never ending saga of lower tier teams has put the Detroit franchise on the 'who dat" list of teams to avoid watching. The NFL might save face by making a second tier level for all the JV franchises

Don't give up the ship Detroit! I was a Patriot fan in the seventies. Took a little more than Southern Comfort to shake that off. But we got through it!

Wow, Lamar Jackson is so impressive to watch. Currently the MVP leader.

I agree, but we should enjoy him while we've got him. He's a knee injury away from irrelevance. The upcoming 49ers game could be trouble.

Hopefully Lamar doesn't get injured which can impact his long term QB abilities but those hybrid QBs/RBs have that chance.

Yeah, the Ravens are pulling away from the pack because of him. I feel like this talk of injury is just sour grapes but every QB starts off hot and settles in to a more conservative playing style as they age.

Hardly sour grapes, just cautionary. His backup after all is RGIII, who started the same way in DC and was crippled by season's end. LJ is a much better pocket passer than RGIII was, but still...risk is risk.
