DL Chris Smith Lands BACK ON Detroit Lions' PS, LB David Long Jr Claimed!

[@cpoole371]

Long outplayed Turner and Alexander

[@shashanksubramaniam1400]

Idk about Alexander but Turner has been decent

[@saleen313]

Titans 3-12 why they claiming anybody? 😂🤷🏾‍♂️🤯

[@micahisrael7788]

Lmfaoooo aye chill on tn, I grew up there😂

[@canislupus5]

MN would have something to play for even if DET has locked up the division and 1-seed. They'd be playing for seeding vs GB, right?

[@nolanscripture]

Yes. I was just about to comment this but decided to scroll to see if someone else beat me to it. If the Packers beat the Vikings and Bears to end the season, they'd have a 13-4 overall record and 3-3 division record. In that scenario, should the Vikings lose to the Lions in week 18 they'd also have a 13-4 overall record and 3-3 division record. The next tie breaker is common games, and what it would come down to is how each team did against the Rams. The Packers beat them while the Vikings did not. The Vikings would 100% play their starters in week 18 even if they can't get the 1 seed because the 5 seed will more than likely play the NFC South winner, which is preferable to the likely NFC West winner (Rams) regardless of if it's the Falcons or Bucs.

[@saleen313]

If packers beat vikings and we stomp the 49ers. Week 18 will be like preseason game 3. 1 or 2 quarters for some starters and backups and returning ir players rest of game to get their feet back under them

[@allensmith5313]

Go lions 🦁 🩵!

[@satchelraidincoming636]

Wish we had kept him, but I guess with JRM and Anzalone due back soon/soonish it makes a degree of sense. And if we are carrying 4 safeties on the active roster, then LB is the logical drop. But man I just feel like Turner has been worse. I know I am a layman and I am wrong more times than not when I disagree with what Holmes does, so don't flame me, fellow commentors, when you have some metrics that illustrate I am dead wrong.

[@Ilikedogs9000]

I agree with you, i still dont think turner is the best option on the roster rn but brad knows more than I do

[@ACrazedGaming]

So teddy 2 gloves just resigned with the lions

[@terry5477-h6k]

david long from the games i have watched tends from the LB position to get distracted and wanting to get to the qb at the detrement of his coverage assignment.

[@brandiiqueenb]

I just read that Long failed the Titans physical so he's now a free agent and can sign with whoever he wants. So maybe well get him back

[@BobSchusterMusiccom]

Would Anzalone been any more effective against Josh Allen’s scrambling? Brock Purdy’s running? Is he the QB spy at middle linebacker?

[@dnice583]

Let's just take care of business with sf and get out healthy. Things will take care of themselves after that.

[@amyg2907]

So disappointed Long was picked up. Really hoped he’d get back on the PS.

[@S.walkerRanger]

If the Vikings lose to the Packers and Lions they drop to the 6th seed if the Packers win out.

[@KiaraWaymer]

What’s the point of them claiming him with two games left? SMH They need to step aside and let these waived players go to the remaining playoff teams at least

[@satchelraidincoming636]

First hand look if he is worth a contract in the offseason.

[@cluter34]

Why would Dan Campbell give up against the Vikings when he has put everything into every game this season? There are some bragging rights of being undefeated in the division. Why rest the team for 3 weeks and let them get soft. That is a horrible idea!!

[@TimGilbert1980]

Agreed! Run the next two teams over!

[@YJ10129]

That’s what I’m saying! We need to finally accomplish the goal of sweeping our division!

[@s0fr3sh810]

Because keeping our guys uninjured is more important why risk the injuries when the game doesn't matter that makes zero sense no real coach would do that haha

[@atlascinemascc8191]

The way it’s looking greenbay would be an upset like the wommanders and the eagles the league may not let the pack beat them so the lions can play for the 1 seed 🙂‍↕️ it’s never easy for us. The most hated team in the nfl when the chiefs should be

[@domthebandit9366]

Why is Turner still here but not David Long. Tuner is useless gets burned all the time and has no use

[@justified1free2]

Too bad Long was claimed. Rather annoying to say the least

[@realdetroitwb6977]

Get Turner out of there that guy is trash why is that guy out there he's so slow he does nothing for us

[@hangontravellers2584]

He had the game saving tackle against Jordan Love.

[@realdetroitwb6977]

@hangontravellers2584 also gave up so many touchdowns in coverage he's terrible thank god iffys back Turner and Vildor are our worst players

[@realdetroitwb6977]

@hangontravellers2584 he wouldn't even be on our practice squad if it weren't for injuries I'm talking about Ezekiel Turner not long jr

[@shashanksubramaniam1400]

If the lions win + Vikings lose this week, 1 seed is in the bag. Any other outcome and you better believe no resting starters next week. Campbell has been gunning for that first round bye since the refs stole the Cowboys game from us last season
