The NFL still has to do some work on their OT rules. For only 1 team to get the ball in overtime, even if they did score a touchdown is bogus. Both teams NEED to have at least 1 possession. Still having games decided by who wins the coin toss in overtime is unacceptable.

At least in the regular season, and before this season began, the regular season OT record for the team that wins the toss is 76-76-10. The layoffs are another story though (10-1).

Good points. The first they kept the offense on the field on 4th down, it didn't work. The second time they succeeded in keeping the drive alive and ultimately scored a TD.

The Lions defensively stunk today. Too many plays given up for big yardage.

Montgomery's miscue to begin the 3rd was very unfortunate as was Goff's interception, but overall, I thought Goff had a decent outing today.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Discounting everything else, that intentional grounding flag on the Seahawks simply blew my mind! :shock: I mean, what the ----!

Lions need to fix their pass rush. Geno Smith had so much space & time it was absurd.

Campbell needs to stop thinking he's playing Madden 2024 on his xbox and going for it on 4th downs in ridiculous field positions...

Often? I wouldn't say that... Detroit has a 33.33% conversion rate this season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/f ... ersion-pct

While ESPN and the NFL still have the Lions ranked in their respective Power Rankings' Top 10, CBS has dropped them all the way down to #18. Dropping them below teams like Cleveland and Pittsburgh is an utter joke.

The various power rankings are my pet peeve. They mean absolutely nothing, and are only there for clicks.

In my opinion they should adapt the NCAA model of overtime. Maybe start teams at their own 40 or 45 or maybe 50. But everybody gets the ball the same number of times.

I think it's absurd they have different overtime rules for regular season and playoffs.

No David Montgomery= pathetic run game for the Lions.

Gibbs has been useless today.

O-line injuries obviously don't help the cause, either.
