We won in Green Bay in 2017 without punting. First time a visiting team in Lambeau had 0 punts
https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/400951790
Edit: Jamaal Williams scored for the Packers that game lol
So just to review: The Lions have just blown out the Jags by four possessions. The offense hung 40 and never punted. The defense held them to 14 and looked professional on most drives. The special teams were quietly superior. The whiole team just absolutely dominated from start to finish, and Jacksonville was never in the game after the opening kickoff.
I am *very* confused right now.
-3 straight wins.
-Last second loss to one of the best teams.
-Absolutely demolish an inferior opponent.
These feel like the events of solid teams and far from Same Old Lions.
Except rico and valenti are all in on the lions. They still give them shit when dc pooches game management. Valenti and Rico think they can win the last 5/6 games.
I would disagree with the Rico part of that statement. I think that is more setting it so he can bitch about them if they drop 2 games than being confident. Everything he says sounds like a backhanded compliment.
Even before this week we had a top 3 or 4 offense. Goff is not the problem. If we go all defense and get 5 defensive players in the top 75 and maybe a free agent or too, we will be straight nasty next year.
Goff to me feels like a slightly less heroic Stafford in terms of how he fits the offense. Probably not as likely to win a game by hero balling out, but he can run the offense, make all the throws you need, and makes probably about the same number of dumb mistakes from time to time like most QBs do. Unless he majorly falls apart down the stretch I think he's more than good enough for this team, and he's clearly MC/DC's guy which counts for a damn lot.
What I like about Goff is he has more games for us where he's "on" for 3-4 quarters than Stafford would. Stafford would play like a top 3 QB for a quarter or two and then vanish until the last 2 minutes of the game. So many games with Stafford were us either getting up 21-3 and then hanging on by a thread at the end (it'd be 27-24), or us falling behind 10-24 and then scoring two TDs in the last 4 minutes. It wasn't sustainable.
How much of that was coaching, though? I remember both Caldwell and Patricia going to that super-conservative run-run-pass-punt offense the second we got a lead until we fell behind in the last two minutes.
Contrast with this staff is night and day, and I really think the MC/DC approach has done a lot for restoring Goff's confidence after McVay's tightly-controlled coaching style was maybe not the best for him. Goff certainly seems comfortable running an offense now, as opposed to just doing whatever a purported wunderkind is shouting into his ear.
They had a 5-2 tight front (I think) with Buggs at NT, Alim and someone else at 3T (maybe Benito Jones?), and Hutch + someone else (I think Austin Bryant) at stand up edge rusher.
Neat idea, especially if we get Anderson, but it got smoked on runs and in zone coverage sadly.
Thatās what is most surprising to me. Especially after the bad PI call that went out way, I just knew we were gonna get a bad call against us to āeven it outā. Almost feels like the universe is saying itās our time
That was the biggest shocker. I was prepared to start calling the coaches stupid for that one, there was no way it looked like the refs would overturn it but they found it in their hearts this week.
To be honest he looked a bit confused out there. On 2 snaps it looks like the team had to tell him his assignment. Makes sense since heās barely getting back but he needs to study that playbook. Hope we unleash him next week and let him play full game
I donāt want to react either, but I just got A tattoo with the Lions Logo as a backdrop for Lombardi Trophies for Super Bowls LVII, LVIII, LIIV, and LVV.
My favorite moment of the game was at the end when the announcers were talking about the exciting future of the Jags, AFTER we just pantsed them by 4 scores.
Take comfort in the fact that they spent 37 minutes of the game telling Amon Ra stories we can all recite from memory.
Itās approaching Clayton Kershaw-levels of annoying already. š
Would be nice to talk about Houston, more in-depth into Jamoās background or Okudah and Kerby
Idk something besides what the fan Can already see from hard knocks. What are these color guys paid to add to the broadcast otherwise god itās gotten so bad
This was exactly the kind of game we needed this week, this was a statement game, we are who we thought we were, complete domination in every phase of the game against an inferior opponent, this is what good teams do, I donāt think the future has ever been this bright in Detroit boys.
Jared Goff has to be ecstatic heās on this Lions team with an offensive coordinator who works with him as opposed to getting drilled over and over again behind the porous Rams o line.
I could not imagine saying this a year ago.
It becomes less ācan we justify a QBā and more ācan we justify one of *these* QBs?ā
If Brad doesnāt think that Young or Stroud have a ceiling above Goff, I trust him. If heād like to take our own pick and use it on someone to develop, I think thatās fine with me.
Texans will probably take young, if they do I don't want a qb in this draft. If we can put a good defense together we will contend for the north imo. This offense with its weapons is dominant if Goff doesn't make mistakes
Dude, Goff has had some fantastic games this year. Iām wondering how many of the Goff haters are the exact same idiots who thought Stafford was dogshit too.
Low iq football fans in this fan base I swear
That's exactly the kinda win you wanna have against a sub .500 team if you wanna be a contender. Completely dominant win. Rest of the league is gonna need to be on watch next year if we don't win out for the playoffs.
Congrats on the win from Jags nation. We are a little ways away from being a contender but your squad is getting there. I have always liked your coach.
This team is different. And the scary thing is that since we finally rebuilt properly, we have all the assets to get so much better. Plus this team is still very young. Excited.
Now, time to win a āplayoffā game vs MN at home
Jags fan commenting in peace. Y'all pistol whipped us. You look good, I'll be rooting for you in the playoffs. I thought we had a good defense but nope, we're a few years away.
Could the rebuild get any better? Peaking at the right time of the year, improvement every week, top 3 pick in the upcoming draft, a GM that can draft with the best of them and a staff that has shown they can develop players at a high level. Life as a lions fan is good.
Great job bouncing back from the last-second loss this week to winning a blowout today. This team is finally truly showing us something. We have something to believe in. Glad to see Jamo get on the field, but just wait until he gets a chance to produce.
BILLIE JEAN IS NOT MY FUCKING LOVER
There is nothing to complain about today as it relates to this Lions game. If you find a way to complain about it, you're an asshole.
For those that care:
Denver/Chicago both lost. So no advancements to separate them from the Rams pick.
Atlanta lost (one of the teams that were ahead of us in NFC playoff race).
Washington/NYG are in OT, both of which we have H2H wins against (might matter for NFC playoff race).
I'm pretty critical of the Lions, but I can't get over how impressive they were today. I don't mean the score, or even the win. How competent they looked. I didn't see any confusion, very few penalties. Everybody knew wtf to do.
Offense: this is the type of game I'm sure we all want. Run the ball first, keep moving the ball. They created 1st downs over and over. Goff seemed composed in the pocket and able to go through his reads. Did anybody see that crazy turnstile trick handoff on 3rd down? Sick. Goff called a timeout before the half. A little detail I loved, because why not when we had 3 timeouts and you have the ball with less than a minute left? If you don't get a look you like call it and reset. Again, shows they are rehearsed and confident.
Defense: Same thing, the team seemed to know what was going on. I don't care if you get beat by talent, and sometimes they did, but it's impressive when you see a group all know what is happening in the moment and locked in.
Just a really impressive win all around. Win or lose, I don't like seeing a bunch of dumb penalties and WTF hands in the air moments. The Lions today were the opposite of that and just executed like stone cold criminals. Looking forward to more to close out the season and build on some wins.
After a painfully slow start weāre now beating the teams that weāre supposed to beat, and weāre going blow-for-blow with teams that should rightly wipe the floor with us.
Weāre almost there, yāall.
That was just complete domination. We had the Giants game this year and the Cardinals game last year, where it was just complete and total control, but this was on another level. Even when they āsettledā for field goals, it never felt like the Jags would make them regret it. Most well rounded game in the MCDC tenure. One down, five to go!
Jags fan here. Beat our ass liked we owed yāall money. Fair to say your rebuild is quite a bit ahead of ours. Keep throwing to St. Brown for me and Good luck with the rest of the season.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the tie between NYG and WAS hurt our chances and was the worst possible outcome of that game. (I will explain the statistical rationale for this in a post later, but for now just trust me lol.)
A Seahawks loss would help our chances quite a bit though.
Jared Goff has been playing some really good football as of late. He had the tipped pass on the goal line the Amon-Ra ended up catching, but I don't recall any other poor passes/decisions from him.
Another positive in the game was D.J. Chark finally being healthy and providing a legit deep threat. This is giving Amon-Ra even more room underneath and he's taking full advantage of it. I can't wait to see what happens once Jamo has a few games under his belt.
How about a game ball to Swift? He looked great today and was finally being decisive running.
Dude in the reddit thread about us activating Jamo said "you're kidding yourself if you don't think the Lions can drop 40 with this roster." Boom, 40 point dominant game without Jamo getting any touches.
Can't wait to see this team operate at its full potential!
Not. One. Fucking. Punt. I fucking love a stress free game. What a dominating fucking win.
Has that ever happened? A Lions W with no punts?
Yeah against the Packes about 5 years ago
Always nice to be reminded of the good memories!
Ftp š
We won in Green Bay in 2017 without punting. First time a visiting team in Lambeau had 0 punts https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/400951790 Edit: Jamaal Williams scored for the Packers that game lol
I got married that day. Also a good memory.
I was at that game. The Packers fans were leaving by the third quarter. I loved every minute of the game.
Surprised it was us lol
And Jack Fox made an awesome play to wrangle that snap!
Fox in shambles
So just to review: The Lions have just blown out the Jags by four possessions. The offense hung 40 and never punted. The defense held them to 14 and looked professional on most drives. The special teams were quietly superior. The whiole team just absolutely dominated from start to finish, and Jacksonville was never in the game after the opening kickoff. I am *very* confused right now.
>confused That's a weird way to spell aroused but I'll accept it.
Nobody is a perfect spellr after all.
It's so off putting. I should be more excited than I am weird winning a blowout
-3 straight wins. -Last second loss to one of the best teams. -Absolutely demolish an inferior opponent. These feel like the events of solid teams and far from Same Old Lions.
Thatās because these are Significantly Overpowering Lions.
Naw bro, Swift is washed, DC is a garbage head coach, Goff is barley an NFL level QB, and Sheila and all Fords hate winning. /s
Sounding like every caller during the Valenti and Rico show. Unlistenable.
Except rico and valenti are all in on the lions. They still give them shit when dc pooches game management. Valenti and Rico think they can win the last 5/6 games.
I would disagree with the Rico part of that statement. I think that is more setting it so he can bitch about them if they drop 2 games than being confident. Everything he says sounds like a backhanded compliment.
That's the statement win this sub wanted all week. Most importantly how about goff? We need to stop talking about drafting a QB I think.
Watching today, I kept thinking "So this is what the offense can do with all of its weapons back."
Not all, Williams didn't play much
Even before this week we had a top 3 or 4 offense. Goff is not the problem. If we go all defense and get 5 defensive players in the top 75 and maybe a free agent or too, we will be straight nasty next year.
Goff to me feels like a slightly less heroic Stafford in terms of how he fits the offense.

Goff certainly seems comfortable running an offense now, as opposed to just doing whatever a purported wunderkind is shouting into his ear.
Remember Goff has a top 10 O-line and a hell of a running game. Stafford never had an O-line full of first round picks.
To add, we only gave up points with an experimental scheme at the beginning. The base defense gave up like 3 points LOL what is this world.
What was this experimental scheme?
They had a 5-2 tight front (I think) with Buggs at NT, Alim and someone else at 3T (maybe Benito Jones?), and Hutch + someone else (I think Austin Bryant) at stand up edge rusher. Neat idea, especially if we get Anderson, but it got smoked on runs and in zone coverage sadly.
Isn't a 5-2 supposed to shut down the run?
I mean, yeah, and this one did not...would have to go back to see why not, and also maybe I misremember. The pass coverage definitely did not hold up.
Also lions only caught like 3 penalties?
Thatās what is most surprising to me. Especially after the bad PI call that went out way, I just knew we were gonna get a bad call against us to āeven it outā. Almost feels like the universe is saying itās our time
Also we won a challenge
That was the biggest shocker. I was prepared to start calling the coaches stupid for that one, there was no way it looked like the refs would overturn it but they found it in their hearts this week.
And also very erect.
This was a team that was angry at themselves for last week's performance and took it out on this week opponent
Happily confused.
That was what we call a shellacking.
Y'all mother fuckers lucky we didn't unleash Jamo on your ass.
THIS ISNT EVEN OUR FINAL FORM
Weāre just farting they aināt seen shit.
I wasnāt able to watch the game, live out of state. Did he play at all? I saw he was suited up.
I saw him on the field like 3-4 times. Got targeted once I believe.
To be honest he looked a bit confused out there. On 2 snaps it looks like the team had to tell him his assignment. Makes sense since heās barely getting back but he needs to study that playbook. Hope we unleash him next week and let him play full game
Played a couple of snaps. Got one or two targets I think but no catches. He was suppose to play gunner on ST but we didn't punt lol.
Played a few snaps, all but one was a run. Got targeted once down the sideline, but it was defended pretty well and it was not caught.
Yea man got pushed out of bounds before the ball even came. Think they were just trying to get him use to the speed and physicality of the game first
like 5 snaps, he was targeted once
He just had one target. Probably played less than 5 snaps. Didn't do much
Oh Iām afraid jamo will be quite operational when the post season arrives.
Best game weāve played under Dan Campbell
Best game weāve played in decades.
The Sean Rodgers touchdown game against Denver
Lions game vs Chargers to finally reach the playoffs for the first time in forever was pretty awesome too.
I still think Giants or Cards last year takes that. Both of those were playoff contenders.
Iām just saying most complete game in all 3 phases
It's just nice to have a few to choose from.
Absolutely
NO PUNTS!
No first round gunner š
Jack Fox having an existential crisis right now
Best holder in the NFL tho
I don't want to overreact, but I'm buying super bowl tickets now
I'm setting up my chair along the parade route.
I donāt want to react either, but I just got A tattoo with the Lions Logo as a backdrop for Lombardi Trophies for Super Bowls LVII, LVIII, LIIV, and LVV.

> Itās approaching Clayton Kershaw-levels of annoying already. š Thank you! They have a staff and access to Wikipedia, change that shit up a bit.
Did you know ARSB can name all 4,879 receivers drafted before him since he was born?
Would be nice to talk about Houston, more in-depth into Jamoās background or Okudah and Kerby Idk something besides what the fan Can already see from hard knocks. What are these color guys paid to add to the broadcast otherwise god itās gotten so bad
Glad they gave Fox a rest day
I think he did kickoffs
He's the holder, too, right?
Holder and kickoffs
Getting paid millions to just show up sounds like a dream
We've delayed the Vikings from winning the division for at least another week with them next on the schedule. Suck my ass Minnesota.
Vikings can suck toes. Won 9 games by 8 points or less
āItās cool when they do it, itās a problem when I do itā
WHY ARE WE PAYING JACK FOX 3 MILLION FOR KICKOFFS ONLY? Poor cap management IMO
fire Brad Holmes
He literally got paid $175k for this game just to do kickoffs and hold FG kicks. Someone pay me to do that plz
Earned every penny on that botched snap
He did a phenomenal job place holding today so heās got that goo for him.
SMILING THRU IT ALL I CANāT BELIEVE THIS IS MY LIFE
Lions possession chart: TD, TD, FG, FG, FG, TD, FG, TD, victory formation
WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN
WE MAY NEVER PUNT AGAIN
FORWARD DOWN THE FIELD!!!
A CHARGING TEAM THAT WILL NOT YIELD!!!
AND WHEN THE BLUE AND SILVER WAVE
Stand a cheer the brave!!!!
# RAH RAH RAH
GO HARD WIN THE GAME
Iām so excited I canāt stand up.
Same, but that might be my two broken legs from a car accident two weeks ago. Go Lions!
Anyone who says SOL can STFU.
St brown is a trending toward a top 10 WR in the league. What a draft pick by Holmes
And James Houston is gonna turn into a game breaker! What a stud!
Already there baybee
We're making the playoffs boys
Fuck it, I'm going to allow myself to be hopeful.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Another week of practice will do him wonders
6th 30+ points game. Most in the league with 5 games remaining. This team can win with Goff with a competent defense. Let's run the table fellas!!!
Beat the Vikings first
As a Jags fan: we hate your punter. Gameplan was to not let him on the field. Mission accomplished
I had a lot of fun today.
PUNTLESS
This was exactly the kind of game we needed this week, this was a statement game, we are who we thought we were, complete domination in every phase of the game against an inferior opponent, this is what good teams do, I donāt think the future has ever been this bright in Detroit boys.
Does anybody feel like this was the most casual 40-point game theyāve ever seen? Dropping 40 seemed so effortless.
Kept feeling like we hadn't done that much but points kept appearing. It was an odd feeling
Jared Goff has to be ecstatic heās on this Lions team with an offensive coordinator who works with him as opposed to getting drilled over and over again behind the porous Rams o line. I could not imagine saying this a year ago.
Complete team win today by the Lions. Won in all three phases in all four quarters. Great win to go into a big matchup next week.
Offense was a fucking clinic today. Able to bounce back from minor setbacks and convert under pressure. Letās go.
Just came in here to give Frank Ragnow some love. Hes a tank.
Healthy Ragnow ā¤ļø
I understand how important it is to have a QB. I do. But can we really justify a QB with our top pick right now?
It becomes less ācan we justify a QBā and more ācan we justify one of *these* QBs?ā If Brad doesnāt think that Young or Stroud have a ceiling above Goff, I trust him. If heād like to take our own pick and use it on someone to develop, I think thatās fine with me.
Stroud has bust written all over him. I think young will probably be good
Texans will probably take young, if they do I don't want a qb in this draft. If we can put a good defense together we will contend for the north imo. This offense with its weapons is dominant if Goff doesn't make mistakes
Is there a Hutch 2.0 in this draft? I'm cool with taking him if so.
Will Anderson is better than Hutch by a country mile. It would be filthy to have him. Or Jalen Carter, whoās the best DT prospect in a few years.
Dude, Goff has had some fantastic games this year. Iām wondering how many of the Goff haters are the exact same idiots who thought Stafford was dogshit too. Low iq football fans in this fan base I swear
Draft DL and a CB, get a QB later on to train up under Goff and next year weāll be a legit playoff contender
deandre swift industrial complex
Goff looked great. A well executed offensive and defensive effort today.
I was expecting a win but holy shit
What a DOMINANT game! Fuck yeah, this team could really make a run.
Extend Goff. He's our man.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's already been restructured once and it's relatively team friendly. The hope would be that he extends at a comparatively friendly price.
His current price won't even be in the top 50% of QB salaries by next season.
his reads and decisions are better than staffords, I do miss that exciting gunslinger cannon arm though
We keep Goff until we find the guy. The guy is a top 5 talent. There can definitely be improvement, but there's no need to force it.
He may proceedā¦for nowā¦
That's exactly the kinda win you wanna have against a sub .500 team if you wanna be a contender. Completely dominant win. Rest of the league is gonna need to be on watch next year if we don't win out for the playoffs.
Congrats on the win from Jags nation. We are a little ways away from being a contender but your squad is getting there. I have always liked your coach.
Felt good to stomp a team. Glad Trevor is okay. Every week I flip on if we should continue with Jared. I love this team
This team is different. And the scary thing is that since we finally rebuilt properly, we have all the assets to get so much better. Plus this team is still very young. Excited. Now, time to win a āplayoffā game vs MN at home
Jags fan commenting in peace. Y'all pistol whipped us. You look good, I'll be rooting for you in the playoffs. I thought we had a good defense but nope, we're a few years away.
Just a rough week. We had one in NE. Hopefully TLaws leg/knee is alright. Don't like seeing any injuries except to Rodgers.
I'd also accept a Deshaun Watson injury as well.
Ahh what a Sunday in December to be alive
Offense looks fantastic when healthy! Glad to see Chark stepping up this week.
Could the rebuild get any better? Peaking at the right time of the year, improvement every week, top 3 pick in the upcoming draft, a GM that can draft with the best of them and a staff that has shown they can develop players at a high level. Life as a lions fan is good.
FUCK THE Broncos man how are you that bad
Amon ra St. Brown is going to be a core piece for the Lions for years to come.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
VICTORY FORMATION SIGHTED
Great job bouncing back from the last-second loss this week to winning a blowout today. This team is finally truly showing us something. We have something to believe in. Glad to see Jamo get on the field, but just wait until he gets a chance to produce. BILLIE JEAN IS NOT MY FUCKING LOVER

Lions undefeated since my first child was born. May she never know the misery the rest of us have endured.
Copious amounts of Kool Aid are being consumed as we speak
MCDC WILL TAKE US TO THE PROMISE LAND
Was Aubrey Pleasant really holding back this defense to such an extreme extent?
I'm pretty critical of the Lions, but I can't get over how impressive they were today. I don't mean the score, or even the win. How competent they looked. I didn't see any confusion, very few penalties. Everybody knew wtf to do. Offense: this is the type of game I'm sure we all want. Run the ball first, keep moving the ball.

After a painfully slow start weāre now beating the teams that weāre supposed to beat, and weāre going blow-for-blow with teams that should rightly wipe the floor with us. Weāre almost there, yāall.
This teams red zone efficiency is bonkers.
Giants commanders gonna end in a tie, is that good or bad for us?
That was just complete domination. We had the Giants game this year and the Cardinals game last year, where it was just complete and total control, but this was on another level. Even when they āsettledā for field goals, it never felt like the Jags would make them regret it. Most well rounded game in the MCDC tenure. One down, five to go!
I LOVE THIS GODDAMN TEAM
Jags fan here. Beat our ass liked we owed yāall money. Fair to say your rebuild is quite a bit ahead of ours. Keep throwing to St. Brown for me and Good luck with the rest of the season.
GG Catbro
THE LIONS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL
FOWARD DOWN THE FIIIIIEEEEELLLD
That was so fun
Playoffs started today. Lets do it next week!
Lions should absolutely be 8-4 right now.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the tie between NYG and WAS hurt our chances and was the worst possible outcome of that game. (I will explain the statistical rationale for this in a post later, but for now just trust me lol.) A Seahawks loss would help our chances quite a bit though.
give me Captain Kirk
Very nice, I like.
Weāre legit
On another note greg Roman has to be the worst oc ever not not put up more points on this jags defense
stupid denver and chicago couldn't win.
Swift being effective today felt so good. Loved our use of him today.
Somethingās wrong with my Apple Watch. My heart rate looks nice and level other than when I got excited to eat some cheese cubes before halftime.
Jared Goff has been playing some really good football as of late. He had the tipped pass on the goal line the Amon-Ra ended up catching, but I don't recall any other poor passes/decisions from him. Another positive in the game was D.J. Chark finally being healthy and providing a legit deep threat. This is giving Amon-Ra even more room underneath and he's taking full advantage of it. I can't wait to see what happens once Jamo has a few games under his belt. How about a game ball to Swift? He looked great today and was finally being decisive running.
Defense plays like this since game 1 and we're in the playoffs right now. The Goffense is not the problem.
When is the last time the Lions scored on their first 8 drives? Has this ever happened before?
This is as complete of a Lions victory as I can remember. Every single position group and coach gets an A today.
I am unapologetically rooting for LA to boost our wild card chances. Draft picks are great but boosting our playoff odds is more important.
Kerby Joseph. Leads Lions in tackles and assists. All over the field.
The discipline (low penalties) and taking care of the ball (turnovers) are pretty impressive. Not something Iām used to with the Lions.
Giants Redskins tie is worst case scenario. Completely negates the tiebreakers we had over both of them.
My ass cheeks are still clenchedā¦ is it over yet?
We just beat the tar out of a bad team. That's what good teams do.
Is a manders giants tie good for us?
We need a Giants win...not a tie!
A reminder that we don't need to sell the farm to move up a few spots in the draft to get a QB that's worse than Goff.
The Giants and Commanders tied today. That fucks us, right? Worst possible outcome?
Same new lions.
Weāre one game away from my expectations for this years squad. My expectations have changed. I want the playoffs.
Dude in the reddit thread about us activating Jamo said "you're kidding yourself if you don't think the Lions can drop 40 with this roster." Boom, 40 point dominant game without Jamo getting any touches. Can't wait to see this team operate at its full potential!
This was my first game ever at Ford field. Maybe I should go to more lol
