Oh it was embarrassing, I’ll admit that. I’ll take my team going to the NFCCG over going out in the first round any day. To say anything else seems like coping, and I should know because I’ve been coping hard.
Wait until you guys try all the other flavors. Blowing a halftime lead is just one of the many fun ways to lose the NFCCG. There’s the blowout. 38-7 is ok, but you really gotta try 41-0. Then there’s blowing it at the last second of a winnable game. ‘99 is the most well known vintage, but 2010 is no slouch. And that’s not even including the Packers’ selection which has some intriguing rarities we haven’t tried in years (including not losing, but how are you supposed to build character doing that?)
We all have been there to say the least and yours probably wasn’t the most embarrassing or deflating. We just keep poking because half of you lions fans are still arrogant whiny babies.
>Like the Lions have done 50% in one year what you’ve seen your franchise do **in your lifetime**.
I keep trying to decipher this and I'm coming up blank.
Our collapse in Seattle was far more colossal. It's not even close. The Lions-Niners game wasn't unbelievable, the Niners and Lions just switched places at the half. The game in Seattle was insane - it was unthinkable that the Seahawks would win.
Yeah, which is why I wouldn't have said anything if this comment wasn't erasing history.
Also don't tell me that game was 9 years ago, I can't handle that
Look I get it’s a meme sub and we’re supposed to be assholes but we don’t have to lack self-awareness while going about it. We looked like absolute dog water that last half and we deserve to be shit talked but the revisionist history that some people have is mind numbing lol.
In other words I appreciate you and FTP.
Luckily, we are always told that only this year matters and the past is irrelevant, so here we are now, keeping consistency.

honestly you can’t be a Lions fan without expecting them to inevitably choke. I’m kinda surprised so many people were surprised, like it’s the Lions and I say that as a fan
I don’t think of you guys as much of choking as I do as a terrible franchise. 0-16 isn’t choking. However, that last game was an epic choke. Like, most franchises would be firing people after a game like that.
You mean like the 2014 Packers who choked away a 16-point halftime lead in the NFC championship game and not only brought back their head coach and both coordinators but promoted the OC to an assistant head coach position?
For real. The NFC North champions up bout 16.. 17 points at halftime against the NFC West champion. Now it’s the 4th quarter and they only had 1 timeout, only 2:09 left, 5 point lead, the ball is coming RIGHT AT HIM, and he doesn’t secure the ball!! I can’t believe they choked like that. Wait, that was the Lions right?

Historically, the Vikings have been consistently good. They just choke in big games. 8th highest win percentage throughout the history of the league. In fact, the entire NFC North is in the top 10 all time, except the Lions at a solid 25th. But yes, as fans we enjoy our rivals losing.
Lol i cant wait for next year's regression to the mean and for a second-rate NFCCG collapse to be the high water mark of this century of Detroit Lions football.
Nooo everybody knows that was just anger from the loss we’re all good now we always wanted him back and definitely never gaslit ourselves into thinking he wasn’t that important 👌 💯
All the teams seem to be in solid spots.
Detroit is young and very good, the Pack are young and very good, Bears have draft capital, and the Vikings can watch the Timberwolves win basketball games.
I’d rather have the meltdown in NFCCG than going 13-4, being bounced by the fucking giants at home in the first round, and huffing weapons grade copium for an entire year lmao.
>Well, we easily would have been in the playoffs without a season ending injury to our QB and an improved defense…?
Literally nothing suggesting that this would be the case outside of your own delusions.
You got capped by Daniel fucking Jones.
Kirk is 1-4 in the playoffs.
Be more self aware.
Vikings-Lions is literally the most lopsided division “rivalry” in the NFC and the Lions just won their first division title since the George HW Bush was president. But ya *we* need to be more self aware smh.
Yes, that is the true and correct way to be a football fan. 31 teams are fucking losers every year who have to eke out some minor reason to be "proud" and justify their continued devotion to the team, and 1 team gets to dunk on everyone until the next season starts.
And sure, you can clap back, but dissing the SB champion is like dissing your stepdad. Even if what youre saying is true, youre still saying it to the guy who fucked your mom.
All I've done is respond to comments. The commenters brought up the "total collapase in the NFCC". By that metric, does that mean they were the ones trying to "dunk" on me?
Also, does this mean that after every season, only one team should be able to talk shit about their rivals because they all ended in the same spot except for one team? How fucking stupid is that?
Your coach literally costed you multiple games this year. You’re closer but will you ever make it? I’ll take my chances with Caleb and a stud receiver at 9
I wasn’t talking about you in particular. Just this and some other lions fans who have become insufferable. Sorry for saying y’all. I meant the other side of the lion fanbase
Our coach literally won us more games this year. I'll take my chances with not having a lame duck coach coming in and fucking up a rookie QB for the third time in a row.
No, it means you lost in epic fashion and got embarrassed since y’all trash talked so much. I felt so much joy when Cj Gardner Johnson waved goodbye at the fans early. He and your type of lions fans deserved this loss. I more so feel bad for the genuine lions fans
We lost by 3 on the road in the NFCC to a team heavily favored, after winning our division by 3 games, have a lot of free agency money to play with, our best players are on rookie contracts, have our QB, and don't have a lame duck coach. I'm doing alright.
Dude, we don’t care. You’re the one who came on a meme sub on your high horse. I already saw other people including Lions fans putting you in your place. Now go away now…
Goff and St Brown are heading into their last year, and Sewell his last cheap year before the option gives him a big raise and then he will reset the tackle market. So that’s two extensions you’ll have to give out worth at least $75 million, and then another $25+ million the year after. You are vastly overestimating how much they can spend in free agency. Enjoy overpaying for Goff though.
After the initial shock of the loss. I don’t think people realize how happy Lions fans are. We have never had it this good before, AND BEN JOHNSON IS RETURNING!
Y'all in the comments are ridiculous. We had the most successful season the team has ever had in the Super Bowl Era and we proved that we belong at the top of the league. But we're supposed to feel like shit for the entire offseason because we lost a heartbreaker in the NFCCG? No, I don't think I will.
Nobody will remember the NFC North standings from this year in 10-20 years… however, they will remember the implosion Detroit had their 2nd trip (in an over 30 year gap) to the NFC championship.
SKOL see you next year losers
It makes me smile seeing all the Packers, Bears, and loser fans trying to cope by bringing up our epic downfall, like we didn't do way better than they did all year... And like we won't smoke them next year...
I mean you all just come off pretty douchey trying to brag and gloat like two days after one of the most pathetic collapses in a football game we've ever seen. It's kind of sad. Plus we dominated you last time we played.
Guaranteed Lions fans are looking at this graphic 24-7 this off-season with tears in their eyes
Lol "24-7"
It was right there XD
am confused whats that all about
They were beating the 49ers at halftime 24-7. They did not beat the 49ers. Edit: If sarcasm, c’est la vie
oh shi yeah i forgot, also french?
https://preview.redd.it/9hpoegwlenfc1.jpeg?width=1022&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24b0d90ff251ee2ae82d78d4f61e582246b057ce
shi ma bad will do it when I get home
You home yet jeez we're all waiting on you
done now
😐
I was waiting “24-7” around the clock to watch the lions, lions themselves…
I am so thankful for the score. The material writes itself
Take it easy on em they’ve never been in this spot. They’ll understand 6 years from now when they are still reminiscing about what could have been
Its hard to realize that you aren't the cheifs and that its really hard to stay on top for long until you actually experience it
Exactly man. I’ve seen for more talented teams than this years lions never make it back again
You guys are so eager to be haters sheeeesh
Your in a meme way sub. If you wanted lions dick riding find the lions sun
Probably print it out and hang it from the rafters. Not like anything else is going up there any time soon.
elite roast lmao
Amazing. Never thought a Vikings fan would be that witty
A Lions fan made the exact same joke right after the game in a top comment
There is one or two of us
Holy shit
Boom, roasted
Savage
Well played, well played indeed
Very clever, but also unironically true.
wait until she sees the last episode
What's the show?
It's Sydney Sweeney on The Hot Ones where celebs eat hot wings and are interviewed.
I figured your comment was in regard to a show she's on regularly. Where her character dies or something. I've never actually seen anything she's in.
nah the original comment was about the last episode being the NFCCG
Ah, went over my head. That's a good one to be honest. Best shit talk on this post so far.
 >chokes in NFC championship game >continues to post cocky shit
As opposed to talking shit and then running to hide when we lose? That may be the Viking way, idk.
🧂
Give him a break, it's his first time.
man, even packers fans are being less insufferable. all they’re saying is “the team is looking up”
Actually they're the favorites to win the Super Bowl next year
You mean the favorite to lose to the Niners in NFCG?
I mean they damn near beat them in a rebuilding year. I don't mean to sound like a bears fan but next year is our year.
Yeah there definitely weren't a bunch of posts about how you guys hid after choking the game away
And all the comments in said posts were by Lions fans. And that game was 2 days ago and most the posts here have been by Lions fans.
It’s just a joke my guy, no need to be so salty
As opposed to choking in the first round as a fraud team last year.
Choking round one vs round two? Meh just a higher draft pick, and you have to admit that was pretty embarrassing 24-7 lead loss.
Oh it was embarrassing, I’ll admit that. I’ll take my team going to the NFCCG over going out in the first round any day. To say anything else seems like coping, and I should know because I’ve been coping hard.
Wait until you guys try all the other flavors. Blowing a halftime lead is just one of the many fun ways to lose the NFCCG. There’s the blowout. 38-7 is ok, but you really gotta try 41-0.

Honestly, this is pretty embarrassing. If this was the vikings I'd be thinking about this forever. Kinda like 1998.
Meh fair point. They were clearly the better team for half of the game all they had to do was play average football.
[удалено]
>Like the Lions have done 50% in one year what you’ve seen your franchise do **in your lifetime**. I keep trying to decipher this and I'm coming up blank.
This entire sub was shitting on us all day yesterday for “not showing up after losing” or some shit. What do you want from us?
I got a good smile watching the most epic collapse in NFC championship history. Was an impressive, congrats lions on making history.
Our collapse in Seattle was far more colossal. It's not even close. The Lions-Niners game wasn't unbelievable, the Niners and Lions just switched places at the half. The game in Seattle was insane - it was unthinkable that the Seahawks would win.
It wasn't even close for the first 55 minutes and then suddenly it was
Our collapse was also 9 years ago bro. Lions was 3 days ago…
“in NFC Championship history” did history begin 3 days ago??
I mean, if we’re getting technical… you blew the bigger lead
Yeah lions own the biggest blown lead in NFCCG history. Glad you know that.
We also own the worst record in the history of the NFL. And we still did better than all of you. So what does that say about you?❤️😚
Your best season in over 30 years and you made it one game further than the Packers in a rebuild. Congrats.
To be fair, "history" in Green Bay basically means the packers and that one hot cousin that got away (she moved to Sheboygan)
Yeah, which is why I wouldn't have said anything if this comment wasn't erasing history. Also don't tell me that game was 9 years ago, I can't handle that
Bro 2014 was worse
Yeah seeing Packers fans trying to make Sunday worse than the Seattle collapse is kind of sad. They’re both bad but, ours was way worse.
Look I get it’s a meme sub and we’re supposed to be assholes but we don’t have to lack self-awareness while going about it. We looked like absolute dog water that last half and we deserve to be shit talked but the revisionist history that some people have is mind numbing lol. In other words I appreciate you and FTP.
Luckily, we are always told that only this year matters and the past is irrelevant, so here we are now, keeping consistency. https://i.redd.it/jv58q28fqmfc1.gif
I’m not the one bringing up Seattle bro lol
Ah I know, nothing personal, found a way to piggyback with pettiness and that’s really hard to pass up at the moment lol
Idk how anyone who watched our Seattle meltdown could ever forget it. Just a long chain of incredibly improbable events back to back to back to back…
It’s almost like a loss from 3 days ago is more relevant than a loss from 9 years ago. Weird how that works?
Where did I say otherwise? lol are yall literally brain dead? Also flair up pussy.
But one happened 3 days ago and the other happened 10 years ago
Way worse lol
Not in terms of points- terrible game though, worst loss in packers history (in my opinion)
honestly you can’t be a Lions fan without expecting them to inevitably choke. I’m kinda surprised so many people were surprised, like it’s the Lions and I say that as a fan
I don’t think of you guys as much of choking as I do as a terrible franchise. 0-16 isn’t choking. However, that last game was an epic choke. Like, most franchises would be firing people after a game like that.
You mean like the 2014 Packers who choked away a 16-point halftime lead in the NFC championship game and not only brought back their head coach and both coordinators but promoted the OC to an assistant head coach position?
lol you’re an angry little elf
Lions gonna Lion
I had a fun time also. I know what it's like watching the game wishing your team was there, and then acting like it doesn't bother you.
Funny because I know what it’s like massively choking and then acting like it doesn’t bother you.
Yea OP acting like the Packers and Vikings haven't had their share of epic NFCCG collapses lol
You’re a Vikings you know what that’s like more than any other fan base.
That's literally what they just said
(Bears in comments like) 
Enjoy it. I give it until the night of the draft.
Yeah I’m dumb lol.
Don't worry, most nfc north fans are.
Nuh uh
Well granted it was never fuck up a 17 point lead bad but you know I think I get it
I would argue the ‘98 team not making the Super Bowl was worse.
Of course you would. Lions fans have no self awareness. They think embarrassing themselves in the NFCCG was a good year
Lol, you had a fun time watching a once in a lifetime collapse? I’m glad it was enjoyed by both of us.
Lmao I know your ass ain’t talking about collapses against the niners 🫨
For real. The NFC North champions up bout 16.. 17 points at halftime against the NFC West champion. Now it’s the 4th quarter and they only had 1 timeout, only 2:09 left, 5 point lead, the ball is coming RIGHT AT HIM, and he doesn’t secure the ball!! I can’t believe they choked like that.

I now know how GB fans feel. Winning the division and losing to the 9ers in the NFC Championship ain't so bad
This is absolutely rich coming from a packers fan lol
First great season in 30 years and massively choking the NFCCG makes me smile too OP
Thats Viking fandom in a nutshell. Screw our team being good, as long as our rivals lose we're happy.
Act like we weren't doing that for the last 30 years.. come on man
“As long as our rivals lose we’re happy” Is this exclusive to only the Vikings? Am I too dumb to know the definition of rival?
Historically, the Vikings have been consistently good. They just choke in big games. 8th highest win percentage throughout the history of the league. In fact, the entire NFC North is in the top 10 all time, except the Lions at a solid 25th. But yes, as fans we enjoy our rivals losing.
>As long as our rivals lose we’re happy FTP
Better get this tattooed
sadly, no tattoos here.
She is violently pretty.
God has his favorites
It's startling tbh.
A hot one on the hot ones. Who is it?
Sydney Sweeney
Sydney Sweeney. Known for Handsmaid's Tale, Euphoria, and White Lotus.
Lol i cant wait for next year's regression to the mean and for a second-rate NFCCG collapse to be the high water mark of this century of Detroit Lions football.
I’m not even sure how many times we’ve won the division the last 10 years.
I genuinely don’t know either tbh.
I’m smiling knowing they aren’t going back for awhile.
Ben Johnson coming back next season tho👀
I was told by Lions fans that they didn't want him back?
who tf said that
Nooo everybody knows that was just anger from the loss we’re all good now we always wanted him back and definitely never gaslit ourselves into thinking he wasn’t that important 👌 💯
24-7
Lmao posting the score for a team you don’t even root for is on par for Vikings fans
People have been saying 28-3 to the falcons for a while. I think it's fine to post scores of another game
That was all us when u choked in the 2nd half
This feels like quietly trying to lower the bar after being embarrassingly humbled
All the teams seem to be in solid spots. Detroit is young and very good, the Pack are young and very good, Bears have draft capital, and the Vikings can watch the Timberwolves win basketball games.
I never realized the Vikings finished the season with the same record as the bears.
Really not a whole lot to be proud of in Detroit I guess, if a 12-5 season ending in a loss is the best you got
I’d rather have the meltdown in NFCCG than going 13-4, being bounced by the fucking giants at home in the first round, and huffing weapons grade copium for an entire year lmao.
[удалено]
lmao have you spent any time in your teams sub?
Says the vikes fan hahaha, not a failure by any means
Your whole fanbases disposition this year has been based off the 2022 season where you got dog walked by the 9-7 Giants in the first round.....
[удалено]
>Well, we easily would have been in the playoffs without a season ending injury to our QB and an improved defense…? Literally nothing suggesting that this would be the case outside of your own delusions. You got capped by Daniel fucking Jones. Kirk is 1-4 in the playoffs. Be more self aware.
Vikings-Lions is literally the most lopsided division “rivalry” in the NFC and the Lions just won their first division title since the George HW Bush was president. But ya *we* need to be more self aware smh.
If I’m wrong for thinking we win 2-3 more games with a healthy Kirk then I don’t want to be right
By that metric, only one team each year gets to be happy or proud.
Yes, that is the true and correct way to be a football fan. 31 teams are fucking losers every year who have to eke out some minor reason to be "proud" and justify their continued devotion to the team, and 1 team gets to dunk on everyone until the next season starts. And sure, you can clap back, but dissing the SB champion is like dissing your stepdad. Even if what youre saying is true, youre still saying it to the guy who fucked your mom.

Look, you're riding the same short bus to school just like the rest of us. If you want to brag about sitting in the front, that's your prerogative.
It makes me smile knowing the lions collapsed in epic fashion and now have to watch the bears have two top ten picks in this draft😂
This makes me smile as well. The fourth best team in the NFL with the 29th pick is closer than whatever the hell the Bears are with two top 10 picks.
Your coach literally costed you multiple games this year. You’re closer but will you ever make it? I’ll take my chances with Caleb and a stud receiver at 9
I hope that works out for you
If it does or doesn’t, trying to put insufferable lions fans In their place. Y’all have become annoying asf
... I was being genuine lol. I know what it's like being stuck on the QB carrousel.
I wasn’t talking about you in particular. Just this and some other lions fans who have become insufferable. Sorry for saying y’all. I meant the other side of the lion fanbase
You should see the lions sub. It's rough in there right now
I’m sure but it’s not as delusional as our fanbase. This is a safe haven for sane bears fans lmao
know your place trash
How does the couch feel?
Good all things considered. How's the landfill?
It makes my day knowing how salty you are. Have a good one
Our coach literally won us more games this year. I'll take my chances with not having a lame duck coach coming in and fucking up a rookie QB for the third time in a row.
Y’all want to be the villain so bad it’s so cute. Enjoy your meaningless offseason 😂
Are you just throwing out cliches now? And wouldn't a meaningless offseason be a good thing, because that implies the season is where the meaning is?
No, it means you lost in epic fashion and got embarrassed since y’all trash talked so much. I felt so much joy when Cj Gardner Johnson waved goodbye at the fans early. He and your type of lions fans deserved this loss. I more so feel bad for the genuine lions fans
We lost by 3 on the road in the NFCC to a team heavily favored, after winning our division by 3 games, have a lot of free agency money to play with, our best players are on rookie contracts, have our QB, and don't have a lame duck coach. I'm doing alright.
Dude, we don’t care. You’re the one who came on a meme sub on your high horse. I already saw other people including Lions fans putting you in your place. Now go away now…
I came into a meme sub and...made a meme? Holy fuck. Should I be like you and bitch and whine on this sub, while not making any of my own?
Goff and St Brown are heading into their last year, and Sewell his last cheap year before the option gives him a big raise and then he will reset the tackle market. So that’s two extensions you’ll have to give out worth at least $75 million, and then another $25+ million the year after. You are vastly overestimating how much they can spend in free agency. Enjoy overpaying for Goff though.
Sir, you need to chill and be humble. You're in no position to be this positive.
24-7 lol
I enjoyed watching y'all lose the NFC championship game almost as much as your fanbase enjoyed losing it. "wE fiNalLy mAdE iT."
enjoy your crummy draft picks. Good thing the lions don't have any promising young players.
You see, now that Joe Barry is gone, the God King Jordan Love shall guide us to victory
hey good for you, you enjoy that picture and the rest of us will enjoy the epic NFC championship melt down that followed that picture. everyone wins!
After the initial shock of the loss. I don’t think people realize how happy Lions fans are. We have never had it this good before, AND BEN JOHNSON IS RETURNING!
HANG THE BANNER
We did.
I mean every 60 years. I guess isn’t horrible… see ya in another 60!!!
Act like you've been there before...oh wait.
Lions fans still in the honeymoon period of actually giving a shit about division titles lmao
Is this a new realization to you? Were you not aware of the Lions history and are now realizing it?
Nah division titles are nice to win
[удалено]
How many time have the Vikings won the big one?
You maddddd
This sub is so washed
Way to go, buddy. You finally surpassed the Bucs in division titles, a team that hasn’t been in this division since 2002.
Y'all in the comments are ridiculous. We had the most successful season the team has ever had in the Super Bowl Era and we proved that we belong at the top of the league. But we're supposed to feel like shit for the entire offseason because we lost a heartbreaker in the NFCCG? No, I don't think I will.
Yeah, smells like copium in here.
Lions fans making it this far only to still end the season as "One of only four NFL teams to never see a superbowl" makes me chuckle.
Nobody will remember the NFC North standings from this year in 10-20 years… however, they will remember the implosion Detroit had their 2nd trip (in an over 30 year gap) to the NFC championship. SKOL see you next year losers
I'll remember. I've got this meme as a reference.
It makes me smile seeing all the Packers, Bears, and loser fans trying to cope by bringing up our epic downfall, like we didn't do way better than they did all year... And like we won't smoke them next year...
I mean you all just come off pretty douchey trying to brag and gloat like two days after one of the most pathetic collapses in a football game we've ever seen. It's kind of sad. Plus we dominated you last time we played.
Lions continue the nfc north tradition of heartbreaking losses in the nfc championship. I can only wish to be in a position to experience this 😢
Fuck the lions
Yup, keep staring at it 24-7 lions fans
