NFL

Weird thing is that most of the teams they did beat had winning records at the point they played Detroit

It should still get them to the playoffs. That’s still a huge win regardless of how they got there

The CFL champion Montreal Alouettes were winless against teams with a winning record and undefeated against teams with a losing record, until the playoffs when they beat everyone to win the Grey Cup. Make of that what you will.

Sometimes you just get lucky.

But even though I absolutely snort lines of Kool-aid, I know that the Lions aren't quite a Super Bowl team yet. They're better than they have been in fucking ages, but they still have some work to do.

Lions are a good team.

Lions are also overrated and benefitted an awful lot from being in the NFC, which is a joke of a conference.

Both things can be true

Maybe let's wait til we have a larger sample size than 3

It's a good point, but can't control your schedule. An interesting point to is that the more you win, the more losses the teams you play have and the weaker your past strength of schedule. Conversely, the more you lose, the stronger your strength of schedule is.

I just want say the first 5 weeks in the NFL is teams trying figure out their teams and get people in positions. After week 10 you know the good teams and great teams. So any team in first 5 weeks losses and win don’t count.

I’m just happy we finally winning the games we supposed to win the old lions couldn’t beat bad or good teams 😭

Blog boys are salivating at this post - it’s gonna be a topic on every podcast now

I still have no idea how they keep losing to the Seahawks

Dolphins still don't have a win over a winning team and their win over the 5-5 Raiders wasn't tough win

This ranking perfectly summarizes the current top 4

How many divisional games have the Lions played so far?

You can only play who is on your schedule. These things aren't fluid. I've never understood why people get uppity over SoS. Either you win, or you don't. And the Lions are doing more winning than losing right now. Their fans have the right to be excited.

Are we gonna have a bird bowl in the super bowl this year? A midatlantic one at that?

I'm glad I don't have to hear how we haven't beaten a good team like all of last year. Though we did lose to the Jets.

When we beat the Chargers, they were .500.

When we beat the Bucs, they were 3-1.

When we beat the Falcons they were 2-0

When we beat the Packers they were 2-1.

I despise this stat

Almost like teams with winning records don't have many losses

According to ESPN the only fraud team on the list is the Eagles

Yes the Lions have had an easier schedule, which was expected to be the case earlier in the season.

Let’s say the broncos win this week. Does that mean the dolphins would be 1-3 or still 0-3?

I can't overstate how much they should've lost to the Bears. Teams were 48-0 with a +3 turnover margin and 40 minutes of possession before we fucked it up.

There’s no real juggernaut this year. The team in probably scared of most tho is the 9ers. They just have the most talent top to bottom. I wouldn’t be that worried if we matched with Detroit in the playoffs tho.

I think they are very good, but this proves that the stupid 0-3 thing for the dolphins is irrelevant. You play who is on the schedule!

I don’t think the Lions are real contenders, but using a 3 game sample size where they won 1 of the games is dumb
