Lions HC Dan Campbell

[Mistashoesta]

We're rootin for ya Dan

 

[SantaClaraHawk]

If we lose, 100 percent I’d like to see the Lions win. If the Lions lose, I’d love to see the 49ers tromp all over them.

 

[CouchLogic]

I hope they manhandled GB, for their sake. That franchise and fans could use it.

 

[SonicHawk]

Like beating the snot out of Green Bay isn't enough motivation for Detroit? These guys are going to be either PUMPED to fight for the playoffs or PUMPED to crush that little bitch A-aron.

Man I hope you’re correct.

 

[schkoot]

It's interesting, I hadn't thought of this situation from the perspective of a Lions fan. They might have gotten an even shorter end of the stick than us.

 

[Bear-Hawk]

This game is definitely going to be a war.

 

[Keyhawk]

Dan Campbell will have the Lions pumped to go out on a winning record.

 

[Hockey Guy]

Dan Campbell can say whatever he wants but human nature is human nature.
If we win, I doubt the Lion's effort will be the same as if they are playing to get in. That's just logical especially now.
I'll take KJ Wright's take on this before a coach who's never been there before.

 

[jammerhawk]

Any player who doesn’t lay it all on the line for the Lions this game for sure won’t be playing there next season.

You have to respect the heck out of Coach Campbell because his team is now a tough team to play against no matter where they play. Still moving that game until after the Hawks game is decided makes it harder for them if Seattle wins.

They beat Seattle earlier this year and run over the the Hawks as numerous other team have done this year. It’d be special if Lord Rodgers is simply eliminated, but given the steering already done by the league to help him make the post season so the one of the greatest QBs narrative can continue.

I’d expect the Hawks to be jobbed against the Rams or the game fixed to help the Packers. Watch and decide if Seattle is screwed by the referees against the Rams if it is close.

The league has screwed Cincie and taken away their ability to have a first round bye by changing the rules mid season so screwing the Seahawks for better QB ratings is hardly a stretch.

The league is becoming a sad joke between the always on prime time Cowboys and this latest blatant garbage. If you don’t have a few questions as a result you are not really paying attention.

I love football but am becoming progressively soured by the BS. There seems to be different rules for different teams, a catch isn’t a catch, PI is selectively called, and QB roughing is so unevenly called it too is an area for steering the game.

It’s crap! But hey still keep their audience.

Are we really just watching wrestling and suspending our disbelief?

Even if the Hawks win tomorrow they will likely lose as the fix seems already in.

Lions players some not all will make "business decisions" if Seattle Wins

 

[Hawkinaz]

People will say team “x” will lose but I have seen a fair amount of time the team that is perceived to be the lesser team to win especially if it’s a division game. Players have pride and next years job on the line

Which was KJ Wright's take that I alluded to.

It only takes a couple "business decisions" at crucial times to sabotage us making the playoffs.

you can steer games with one simple call, holding.

Dan Campbell was a player. If I remember correctly, he was a TE and was pushed out by Jason Witten. ...I think. Doesn't really matter, but he is a been-there-done-that kind of guy. That doesn't necessarily mean his perspective matches KJs, but they are both retired players that share the same experience in that respect. He'll do his best to win the game. Who knows how many of his players will. Frankly, I think the Lions are the better team.

Dan Campbell was a player but is now a coach & can't say what KJ said even though everybody knows it's the truth.

I'm sure he's a stand up guy & will do everything in his power to get them to play hard but there's no way he can motivate all 53 players to not make some "business decisions" when they have nothing to play for. There are players on the team that know there are not returning regardless of what happens.

 

[Cyrus12]

If Seahawks win it'll be a cakewalk for GB...no player on the lions will wanna get hurt before they head off for vacation.

 

[BASF]

They beat Seattle earlier this year

Agree with almost everything you said, but this. We beat the Lions. It is why we have the tie breaker if we have the same record.

 

[getnasty]

If you think the game means the same to the Lions if there not playing for a playoff spot your crazy. That doesn't mean they still can't win but the wind will definitely be taken out of the sails.

 

[JPatera76]

IF anything. the nfl should've swapped the games around (ours and theirs) i mean afterall that would've helped a lot with "money" and "ratings" a BELOVED LA Rams with Baker and a chance to knock off the Playoff hopefuls

Sounds sweeter imo, id be even less pissed lol
