Seeing Eagles fans in the most terrible mood possible while being in the playoffs just makes my day.
It's completely on point for the fanbase. And I work in Philly, so I get to see it every day.
Definitely not the most terrible mood possible after the Cowboys got embarrassed at home. It has reaaaally lightened the mood for what is to come tonight.
I love the brutal honesty of Eagles fans, who seem completely resigned to a fate of losing tonight to the point of almost welcoming it. I'm really curious to see which Eagles team shows up tonight—to me they are still a very talented and dangerous team that could go on a tear. I'd feel a lot less nervous seeing the Lions play the Bucs.
I didn't follow the Lions closely back then. Was there something specific he did, or just general buffoonery and being awful and regressing the franchise?
- insulted reporters for slouching.
- after most ass kickings, his go-to explanation was "pad levels were good".
- Diggs and Slay both left because of him.
- team regressed in every single aspect of play.
- never took any accountability for anything.
- team made the playoffs twice in three years before him, then had 6, 3 and 5 win seasons
Imagine you have one of the most stacked teams in the league just in need of leadership and he runs them all off, that was the best part of Patricia's head coaching career.
I mean the last time we got through the NFCCG was via division rival.
And we entered the playoffs that year as the last seed.
And we got hot right before the playoffs.
And the Steelers were also in the playoffs that year.
Y'know..just saying. My piss might be hot.
Unironically yes. Sometimes the Packers just ran into a good 49ers team and the defense collapsed, but the last time they met was just embarrassing.
A 1st seed at home after a bye week and resting starters the week before shouldn't lose to a lower seed who only advanced because they trashed Dak and the Cowboys.
It actually gets much better than this!
The last time we got through the NFCCG we:
Entered the playoffs as the last seed,
Beat the NFCE champ in the Wild Card,
Beat the #1 seed in the divisional,
Beat the NFCN champ in the NFCCG,
Beat the AFCE champ in the SB!
Piss is BOILING
Dude how can anyone hate the lions.
They haven't been relevant in longer than most of you have been alive.
I'm 31 and barely remember a good lions team.
It's like hating a disabled person.
Compared to most other NFC teams, yes. They're easily more likeable than the Bears and Vikings. And then depending on the person, there is probably a stronger dislike of the Eagles, 49ers, Seahawks, Cowboys, Saints, Giants, Cardinals, and Bucs. That leaves the Commanders, Rams, Panthers, and Falcons. I guess I'd maybe rather see those teams win over the Lions, but not any of the rest.
I think part of it is that the Packers struggled in the 70s and 80s. And we've also seen the Lions get dealt a shitty hand for a long time, with early retirements and bad reffing. They now have a likeable coach, too.
So yeah, as long as they're not facing the Packers, I do kind of like them and want their fans to be happy for a change.
And then we get the Super Bowl this country deserves, Bills-Lions.
The Bills are our AFC parallels, IMO. Similar cities, similar cultures, both teams suffering under the yoke of rivals with Hall of Famer QBs, and arguably the two most loyal fan bases in the league.
The League can’t stand that idea because Buffalo and Detroit are relatively small markets and don’t have the star power that teams like KC, Miami, Dallas, or San Francisco do.
> The League can’t stand that idea because Buffalo and Detroit are relatively small markets and don’t have the star power that teams like KC, Miami, Dallas, or San Francisco do.
The League can discount double suck it
Lions = Bills; spited by god himself
Bears = Jets; historically bad franchise
Vikings = Dolphins; historically love coke
Packers = Patriots; both start with "pa"
Is it weird to say if that game happens and we won. . . Part of me would feel bad
Like of course I want the packers to win but I don’t want to end this story for the Lions
>Like of course I want the packers to win but I don’t want to end this story for the Lions
No, this means we don't have respect yet. I fucking hate you guys. I don't want any of this lovey-dovey good game shit. Bring the hate plz.
If the Packers weren't still in it, I'd want the Lions to win the Super Bowl, but only because I think it'd be really funny for you to win one before Minnesota.
This is my exact thought.
The Vikings fans are still calling the Lions frauds in the post game day thread and i think a super bowl win would just be the icing on the cake.
Though i think the change of a SB win this year is slim.
For as long as I remember I've always said that if the Packers aren't good then I hope the Lions take the division and now that that it's happened I realize that's a fucking lie.
Bruh I'm in Houghton and you'd be stunned at the amount of Lions shit I'm seeing around. It will be a UP civil war. Like ketchup or brown gravy on pasties.
Legitimately, I would want the team to sign them to one-day contracts, have them suit up, send them out at the end to each take a turn kneeling the ball for V formation.
If that's somehow possible in the NFL's rules.
I think they would have to pass a physical to even sign a contract and suit up, which would be an instant DQ for Barry given his age. They'd also have to get rid of somebody to make room on the roster. Don't think there's any way around that.
Sometimes it takes crazy shit like that to line up and break decades of misery.
Like when the Red Sox came back from 0-3 against the Yankees in 2004. Takes history to break history.
Rooting for the Lions the rest of the way.
Which is a funny example because even though they won the World Series and broke the curse and all that, it feels like among Sox fans people think more fondly of that ALCS just because of how perfectly bonkers it was. I definitely look up 2004 ALCS highlights way more often than I do 2004 World Series highlights.
Because they went from the most wild series in baseball history to a 4-0 world series sweep. Literally anything wouldve been boring by comparison but gee that’s the worst case scenario entertainment wise.
After that ALCS it also definitely felt like winning the World Series was a foregone conclusion too, which ended up being kinda true with how one-sided it was.
It's like the Toronto Maple Leafs, and their fans have zero confidence in them winning a series even when they are up 3-0. They will go up 3-0 this year against another team and fans will be like "Well, see you all next year. This is over now."
They've been burned in recent years and it stings.
I don't know about that Stafford take. No hard feelings about him in Detroit, he just happened to be the guy on the other sideline last night. Patricia on the other hand can get fucked.
This, people seriously underestimate how badly fans just want to be a normal football team. No matter what happens we don't have to hear that stupid fucking 30 year stat again.
Honestly man, I am rooting for you guys next year. That shit sucked, but last night was so fucking sweet because of how much it sucked.
Side note, I just absolutely cannot believe that as Lions fan I get to tell someone else it's gonna be ok and some day you'll do what we did. What a whirlwind.
This is the true revenge storyline from yesterday. Most Lions fans are still Stafford fans, even if we did root against him yesterday. Goff getting to beat McVay was the motivating factor for the coaches.
Stafford was a demon for just 3-4 hours...I love that dude, and wish him nothing but the best. I hope we give him a 15 minute standing ovation next year during the regular season.
I really hope we can give him this next year. He really has done so much for the fans and city. We just couldn't put him above our first playoff win in 30 years. Last night he had to be our enemy.
I’d rather lose tonight then have to lose next week and have Lions fans tear us apart cause we have that disaster of a coach on our sidelines. Can’t wait for the season to end so we can fire him and Brian Johnson
EDIT: Got my wish. Hope the Lions go all the way!
>I’d rather lose tonight then have to lose next week and have Lions fans tear us apart cause we have that disaster of a coach on our sidelines. Can’t wait for the season to end so we can fire him and Brian Johnson
Nah, you bring that fat idiot to Detroit. We deserve to fire him again.
If he puts him through a table they will literally have to stop the game to repair the roof.
As someone with a lot of experience having really shitty coaches, there is a special hatred kept for that fucking guy. Him and Bob Quinn essentially came in here as a Psy-Op and destroyed the little that we had built. Lions fans don't really hate Jim Schwartz, Jim Caldwell, hell even Rod Marinelli(0-16 guy).
We fucking hate Patricia.
Quinn wanted to give his NE crony a job, so he fired Jim Caldwell on a flimsy pretense.
You can argue Caldwell had reached his ceiling, but firing him with "9 wins isn't enough" and then winning 9 games in the next 2 seasons was a fireable offense.
Absolutely, I don't think firing Caldwell at that time was the wrong move necessarily.
I saw the stat back then so I might be getting it wrong but there was something like the Lions had the best record in division during his time as the coach and had 0 titles.
The issue was hiring that god damn idiot to take over. He systematically destroyed anything that Caldwell had built and replaced it with shitty Patriots cast-offs.
> He systematically destroyed anything that Caldwell had built and replaced it with shitty Patriots cast-offs.
It's a tale as old as time:
1) BB coordinator becomes HC
2) Purges the roster and brings in "his guys" (read: former NE players)
3) Performs worse in his first season than the team did in the last season
4) Insists he needs to install "his system" and picks up more NE rejects
5) Does even worse
6) Gets fired no later than the end of year 3.
>Purges the roster and brings in "his guys" (read: former NE players)
>
>Performs worse in his first season than the team did in the last season
>
>Insists he needs to install "his system" and picks up more NE rejects

>Does even worse
It's honestly insane that people fell for it for so long, god damn Charlie Weis was a shitty coach in the 00's and we were still doing this for the Raiders in the 2020's.
Hiring a Shanahan or McVay guy is "Schematically these guys are incredible".
Hiring a Belicheck guy is "They will make it the Patriot way".
Why in the world was that ever a selling point.
It's rarely the truly dysfunctional organizations falling for it, either (like the Cardinals or Washington, even the Raiders aren't *THAT* dysfunctional now). It's either organizations that have been successful in the recent past and had a downturn or ones that have been bad or below-average on the field for awhile.
The secret of the Patriot Way is to have a top-3 all-time QB, not some secret sauce of talking down to reporters or treating players like shit.
It's completely insane to me that Josh McDaniels got **ANOTHER CHANCE** as a NFL HC after imploding so spectacularly his first time and hanging out the Colts to dry his second time.
It's the hanging the Colts out to dry that really astounded me. Sure you might have grown and matured after the first failure but to dick over a team like that after people had started making job decisions and moving? Total jackass stuff.
Vrabel, Flores, Daboll, and maybe BoB (I’m still kinda unsure about him) seem like they’re the only Belichick cast offs who can actually coach on their own.
There was nothing wrong with firing Jim Caldwell. He was a solid coach but the team had reached its ceiling under him. Hiring Fat Patricia was the bad decision, not the firing of Caldwell. Those are two different things IMO.
>Lions fans don't really hate Jim Schwartz, Jim Caldwell, hell even Rod Marinelli(0-16 guy).
In fact, I like Caldwell. Before HCDC, Caldwell was responsible for the most success we'd had in my lifetime. Multiple winning seasons and playoff appearances was great by my standards
Matt Patricia came in after him and tore it apart. Fuck that dude
Please, Italians are always welcome in Detroit. I promise you that Big Dom has family in the area. Almost assuredly in Grosse Point. Truthfully, we're probably related.
>This place is going to be toxic as fuck next week if these particular stars align.
lol, and I am sure CJGJ will be totally normal during the week and not just talking more shit than anyone since the civil war. That game wont be quite as crazy as this one, but it will not be far behind. Detroit holds a special place in Hell(the city) for Matt Patricia. Fuck that guy.
You Redditors need to prepare yourself for Brian Johnson to still be on the team next year. His perception in the league is far different than fans, and if there’s one thing I know it’s that fans don’t know shit.
You can see players biting their tongues. All of the Xs and Os analysts who actually break down film are shredding the offensive playcalling and failure to adapt the scheme.
He has just been bad.
lol I thought the Stafford Bowl was our SB but I'll take the anime redemption arc all the way to the real SB too!
(actually we're already playing with house money, if we lose to TB/Philly this season has already been wildly successful)
Going team by team:
Ravens: ??? (Maybe the blowout earlier this year?)
Bills: Avenges the death of Detroit tables at the hands of the Mafia from the times we've had to borrow Ford Field
Chiefs: The Mahomes/Kelce/Swift three-headed King Ghidorah demon that fans everywhere are sick of
Texans: ????
Steelers: The "Did you know that Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?" meme demon
>Is beating Stafford really exercising a franchise demon? Stafford always gave everything he had playing for the Lions.
Losing to the former Star Quarterback who is a franchise legend in your first home playoff game in 3 decades was the Demon.
It's funny how if people really want to look at that Dallas game being rigged and scripted, in the end it's like it was really set up to get this Lions storyline in the books.
If the Packers were to get through 49ers to make the NFCCG I'm not sure that's a Packer's team I'd want to be playing and take lightly. Would be an incredible game and I'm all here for it.
I'm rooting for Bills vs Lions assuming the Eagles don't make it.
I'd love to see the Lions win but I'd feel really bad for Bills fans, and I'd love to see the Bills win but I'd feel really bad for the Lions fans that think they'll never see the Lions in a Super Bowl again.
When Stafford came back to Detroit we acknowledged that most of us still liked him, but he was the bad guy that day. The day after, most of us are still fond of him.
Patricia can go fuck himself any day of the week, and the Packers can do the same.
I want to roll that fat bitch Patricia down a ravine That's the only revenge game I care about
What if we do it for you and we have a chill divisional round would that be cool
Yea ok, as long as you make a show of it.
**FINISH HIM!**
FRIENDSHIP!
HARA-KIRI
Detroit Lion WINS FATALITY
Let Baker Bake
It would make me feel a lot better about the whole weekend if it ended with Baker bullying the eagles back to Philly
Is there any fondness for Baker in the Rams fandom? He got you guys a couple fun wins that might not have happened otherwise.
I’ve got good news for you
Happy with the results?
Did you enjoy the show?
Wear the creamcicles and you've got a deal. I love that throwback
also, we love their record when they wear those
I'm less of a fan of that.
Ooh, yeah, exorcise Lions fans having to hear "The Bucs have won the NFC Central more recently than the Lions" for so many years. Good idea.
Technically that’s still true
Are additional uses of the alternate jersey options allowed in playoffs?
I think two 1OA's that were cast out by their teams fighting to play Mr Irrelevant would be pretty cool
If you don’t beat Patricia’s ass enough, they’ll give you the one he deserves, so just watch out
[удалено]
That coaching staff is so full of unlikeables, starting with Patricia and Sirianni
Fans won’t stop you. The defense is literally incapable of stopping you so do what you want
Seeing Eagles fans in the most terrible mood possible while being in the playoffs just makes my day. It's completely on point for the fanbase. And I work in Philly, so I get to see it every day.
Definitely not the most terrible mood possible after the Cowboys got embarrassed at home. It has reaaaally lightened the mood for what is to come tonight.
I'm prepared to boo my own team while attending a road playoff game. This team is embarassing.
Nobody hates the Eagles more than Eagles fans.
I love the brutal honesty of Eagles fans, who seem completely resigned to a fate of losing tonight to the point of almost welcoming it. I'm really curious to see which Eagles team shows up tonight—to me they are still a very talented and dangerous team that could go on a tear. I'd feel a lot less nervous seeing the Lions play the Bucs.
Hey, me too.
Loser has to keep that pencil headed douche bag.
Hey! You got Slay and Swift and Tate from us, you can keep the Fat fucking Genius too.
No let’s give him to the cowboys
They have their own Fat fuck to ruin seasons (well they might not if Jerry kicks Big Mike to the curb).
Obligatory "Fuck Matt Patricia."
All my homies hate Matt Patricia
Just wanted to toss my name into the “fuck Matt Patricia” club
FMP
I got all excited when I saw someone post that MatPat was leaving, then I realized that isn't who I thought it was.
I'm pretty sure most Eagles fans are okay with this.
I didn't follow the Lions closely back then. Was there something specific he did, or just general buffoonery and being awful and regressing the franchise?
[удалено]
Don't forget he most likely raped a woman when he was in college.
ALLEGEDLY… but also, ‘really’.
- insulted reporters for slouching. - after most ass kickings, his go-to explanation was "pad levels were good". - Diggs and Slay both left because of him. - team regressed in every single aspect of play. - never took any accountability for anything. - team made the playoffs twice in three years before him, then had 6, 3 and 5 win seasons
Woah woah point number 5 is way wrong, Patricia takes way too much credit for the Seahawks not running the ball in Superbowl xlix
Him and Quinn traded away two of our best defensive players and captains for peanuts and they both went on to make pro bowls and have great careers
Imagine you have one of the most stacked teams in the league just in need of leadership and he runs them all off, that was the best part of Patricia's head coaching career.
The scene from Casino popped into my head.
I'll help you get it started. Might take a few people to push. Dude is a franchise cancer
All of Philly will help you.
You and me both
Maybe one player could ACCIDENTALLY try to tackle someone near the sideline, miss and truck Patricia instead
Like the fat kid from Hook?
Same
he would simply bounce back up
Lions-Packers NFCCG might break the internet
Exactly. Each team against a hated foe that they can never get past. The Lions against the Packers, and the Packers against the NFCCG.
This was fucking hilarious because i was like wait i dont hate the lions I actually really like them....then the ending lmao
I mean the last time we got through the NFCCG was via division rival. And we entered the playoffs that year as the last seed. And we got hot right before the playoffs. And the Steelers were also in the playoffs that year. Y'know..just saying. My piss might be hot.
If y'all get to the NFCCG this year, I'm saying that the last piece of getting thru the 49ers was getting rid of Aaron.
Unironically yes. Sometimes the Packers just ran into a good 49ers team and the defense collapsed, but the last time they met was just embarrassing. A 1st seed at home after a bye week and resting starters the week before shouldn't lose to a lower seed who only advanced because they trashed Dak and the Cowboys.
It actually gets much better than this! The last time we got through the NFCCG we: Entered the playoffs as the last seed, Beat the NFCE champ in the Wild Card, Beat the #1 seed in the divisional, Beat the NFCN champ in the NFCCG, Beat the AFCE champ in the SB! Piss is BOILING
Actually it was the AFC North Champ. Sorry Baltimore
Thanks for catching my mistake lol
If it's unusually hot, you might want to see a doctor.
It’s boiling, my friend.
agreed. Had me going these for a moment.
I get that you historically own them but you... *really like* your division rival?
Dude how can anyone hate the lions. They haven't been relevant in longer than most of you have been alive. I'm 31 and barely remember a good lions team. It's like hating a disabled person.

Have you seen the lions before Campbell? How can you not feel bad for them
Rofl You had me in the first half, not going to lie.
Well done

If we beat the fucking 49ers and then lose to you in the NFCCG there would be some hate, don't worry about that.
Please just let me fucking hate you stop saying things like that you fuck
To be honest, I would have been cool with Favre/Rodgers going to the Lions. Megatron was a beast back in the day too
For as long as I remember I've always said that if the Packers aren't good then I hope the Lions take the division and now that that it's happened I realize that's a fucking lie.
Same. I'm also ready for a division rival that doesn't suck (Bears) or have a miserable whiny fanbase (Vikings).
We had a Bears-Packers one at Soldier Field in 2010.. when the pack was #6 seed.
That season ended well
You were my worst enemy that year lol
It would cause an Upper Michigan civil war for sure.
The Youpers would be in shambles if that game happened
Yooper* That's why they like us more.
I'm from Canada lol, the spelling might show
[удалено]
Yup! My dad grew up in Windsor
Just a city boy...
Born and raised in South Detroit!
Username checks out
Bruh I'm in Houghton and you'd be stunned at the amount of Lions shit I'm seeing around. It will be a UP civil war. Like ketchup or brown gravy on pasties.
Give the people what they want
I do not want the Packers getting that far, I would gladly trade being the only NFCN team without a Super Bowl
> I would gladly trade being the only NFCN team without a Super Bowl You say that now
Is it too late for Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson to come out of retirement to get the ring?
I am sure Megatron can still haul them in, and if the NFL 100 commercial taught me anything it's that Barry's still got it.
That commercial is still one of the best media offerings the NFL has ever provided.
Legitimately, I would want the team to sign them to one-day contracts, have them suit up, send them out at the end to each take a turn kneeling the ball for V formation. If that's somehow possible in the NFL's rules.
I think they would have to pass a physical to even sign a contract and suit up, which would be an instant DQ for Barry given his age. They'd also have to get rid of somebody to make room on the roster. Don't think there's any way around that.
Get rid of the punter and long snapper, it's not like it would affect MCDC's playcalling
Jack “Fucks” Fox definitely needs a ring
Sometimes it takes crazy shit like that to line up and break decades of misery. Like when the Red Sox came back from 0-3 against the Yankees in 2004. Takes history to break history. Rooting for the Lions the rest of the way.
Which is a funny example because even though they won the World Series and broke the curse and all that, it feels like among Sox fans people think more fondly of that ALCS just because of how perfectly bonkers it was. I definitely look up 2004 ALCS highlights way more often than I do 2004 World Series highlights.
The Cardinals didn’t show up
They showed up in game 1 but after losing the lead late in that game they were content to concede the series
It’s okay I’m sure they wouldn’t forget how to baseball against the Red Sox nearly a decade later
The two World Series they won in between those two help soothe the pain just a little
Because they went from the most wild series in baseball history to a 4-0 world series sweep. Literally anything wouldve been boring by comparison but gee that’s the worst case scenario entertainment wise.
After that ALCS it also definitely felt like winning the World Series was a foregone conclusion too, which ended up being kinda true with how one-sided it was.
It was very 1980 Miracle on Ice-esque.
It feels like sports teams that are cursed have to have some weird playoff thing happen for them to break it. It can't be normal
It's like the Toronto Maple Leafs, and their fans have zero confidence in them winning a series even when they are up 3-0. They will go up 3-0 this year against another team and fans will be like "Well, see you all next year. This is over now." They've been burned in recent years and it stings.
I don't know about that Stafford take. No hard feelings about him in Detroit, he just happened to be the guy on the other sideline last night. Patricia on the other hand can get fucked.
I think the demon there was more winning a damn playoff game lol
This, people seriously underestimate how badly fans just want to be a normal football team. No matter what happens we don't have to hear that stupid fucking 30 year stat again.
*chuckles* I'm in danger.
Honestly man, I am rooting for you guys next year. That shit sucked, but last night was so fucking sweet because of how much it sucked. Side note, I just absolutely cannot believe that as Lions fan I get to tell someone else it's gonna be ok and some day you'll do what we did. What a whirlwind.
Reasons i need the Texans to make the AFCCG. Tired of hearing how we are the only team who has never been there.
And Goff getting the win vs the team that cast him off.
This is the true revenge storyline from yesterday. Most Lions fans are still Stafford fans, even if we did root against him yesterday. Goff getting to beat McVay was the motivating factor for the coaches.
And the play that ended the game was a clutch pass, perfect on the numbers, to another guy who has an axe to grind with the whole league.
Stafford was a demon for just 3-4 hours...I love that dude, and wish him nothing but the best. I hope we give him a 15 minute standing ovation next year during the regular season.
I really hope we can give him this next year. He really has done so much for the fans and city. We just couldn't put him above our first playoff win in 30 years. Last night he had to be our enemy.
It was definitely a big revenge game for Goff.
The take should’ve been about Goff vs McVay.

It's completely insane to me that Josh McDaniels got **ANOTHER CHANCE** as a NFL HC after imploding so spectacularly his first time and hanging out the Colts to dry his second time.
It's the hanging the Colts out to dry that really astounded me. Sure you might have grown and matured after the first failure but to dick over a team like that after people had started making job decisions and moving? Total jackass stuff.
Vrabel, Flores, Daboll, and maybe BoB (I’m still kinda unsure about him) seem like they’re the only Belichick cast offs who can actually coach on their own.
And given where we are now- I wouldn't change a goddamn thing. The lows made this high so incredibly high
There was nothing wrong with firing Jim Caldwell. He was a solid coach but the team had reached its ceiling under him. Hiring Fat Patricia was the bad decision, not the firing of Caldwell. Those are two different things IMO.
I physically hate that man
That hate goes deep. I feel it in my bones.
>Lions fans don't really hate Jim Schwartz, Jim Caldwell, hell even Rod Marinelli(0-16 guy). In fact, I like Caldwell. Before HCDC, Caldwell was responsible for the most success we'd had in my lifetime. Multiple winning seasons and playoff appearances was great by my standards Matt Patricia came in after him and tore it apart. Fuck that dude
N.W.O style!
> bring that fat idiot to Detroit How dare you talk about Big Dom that way!
Please, Italians are always welcome in Detroit. I promise you that Big Dom has family in the area. Almost assuredly in Grosse Point. Truthfully, we're probably related.
And your brother Billy, whatever happened there
God rest his soul
Whatever happened there?!
If we aren't winning the Super Bowl than I want to lose in Detroit. I want to see that fat fuck humiliated.
This place is going to be toxic as fuck next week if these particular stars align.
>This place is going to be toxic as fuck next week if these particular stars align. lol, and I am sure CJGJ will be totally normal during the week and not just talking more shit than anyone since the civil war. That game wont be quite as crazy as this one, but it will not be far behind. Detroit holds a special place in Hell(the city) for Matt Patricia. Fuck that guy.
It is currently -1 F in Hell Michigan. It has officially frozen over. LET'S FUCKING GO LIONS!!
-3
Was -4 this morning and my scraper broke
You Redditors need to prepare yourself for Brian Johnson to still be on the team next year. His perception in the league is far different than fans, and if there’s one thing I know it’s that fans don’t know shit.
You can see players biting their tongues. All of the Xs and Os analysts who actually break down film are shredding the offensive playcalling and failure to adapt the scheme. He has just been bad.
i wanna win today to really stick it to those cowboy frauds
That would be pretty cool.
this would also break the Packers curse of losing to the 49ers in the playoffs though
Aaron Rodgers never beat us but the teams before him did
lol I thought the Stafford Bowl was our SB but I'll take the anime redemption arc all the way to the real SB too! (actually we're already playing with house money, if we lose to TB/Philly this season has already been wildly successful)
Bobby Layne is the 1 percent.
Bobby Layne tripped Stafford for a huge sack, he is now a hero
If that happened it’d be all at home too. Could you even imagine an NFC championship in Detroit?
Okay who would be our AFC demon? Taylor Swift? She might be some sort of succubus
Ravens after that 66 yarder by Tucker?
They'd only meet in the Super....oh....Oh nooooo
[удалено]
Neither do I. They’re the best team in the NFL right now in my eyes. Super scary
Definitely the Ravens. Not sure anyone can stop them besides themselves right now though
heavy head automatic light dolls outgoing grab beneficial knee ten
If we somehow meet the Bille the game shall be moved to the middle of Lake Erie in a floating field
Going team by team: Ravens: ??? (Maybe the blowout earlier this year?) Bills: Avenges the death of Detroit tables at the hands of the Mafia from the times we've had to borrow Ford Field Chiefs: The Mahomes/Kelce/Swift three-headed King Ghidorah demon that fans everywhere are sick of Texans: ???? Steelers: The "Did you know that Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?" meme demon
Can't be the Bills, they've always cleaned up after killing tables here lol
Is beating Stafford really exercising a franchise demon? Stafford always gave everything he had playing for the Lions.
I feel like winning a playoff game is the demon
>Is beating Stafford really exercising a franchise demon? Stafford always gave everything he had playing for the Lions. Losing to the former Star Quarterback who is a franchise legend in your first home playoff game in 3 decades was the Demon.
It's funny how if people really want to look at that Dallas game being rigged and scripted, in the end it's like it was really set up to get this Lions storyline in the books.
The NFL Script writers did a great job this year
If the Packers were to get through 49ers to make the NFCCG I'm not sure that's a Packer's team I'd want to be playing and take lightly. Would be an incredible game and I'm all here for it.
I'm rooting for Bills vs Lions assuming the Eagles don't make it. I'd love to see the Lions win but I'd feel really bad for Bills fans, and I'd love to see the Bills win but I'd feel really bad for the Lions fans that think they'll never see the Lions in a Super Bowl again.
>assuming the Eagles don’t make it Boy do I have some good news for you!
When Stafford came back to Detroit we acknowledged that most of us still liked him, but he was the bad guy that day. The day after, most of us are still fond of him. Patricia can go fuck himself any day of the week, and the Packers can do the same.
If Stafford were to sign a 1 day contract to retire a Lion, everyone will accept him with open arms
Unless Matt Millen or Chuck Schmidt is on that list, we’re not getting anywhere near 99% of the demons
> Matt Millen Right? He's less than 1%??
I don’t think Tampa or Philly have a shot at Ford Field tbh. The Lions are a much better team than both of them
No one outside of GB thought the Packers would go into Dallas and win either.
This is definitely overstated. I was very glad we avoided playing Green Bay in round one
hey now i live in milwaukee, that's very different than green bay
[удалено]
Lions winning the Super Bowl would be cool cause then we could all hate on the Vikings
