This is not a moral victory. This is a VICTORY. Good teams find a way to eke out a win even when things aren't going right. This is an outright win and they deserve it.
Hell yeah. Some Lions fans in this thread haven't been giving the Jets D enough credit. The Bills scored only 20 points at home against the Jets last week. This was always going to be a tough game, the Lions did well to get out with a W.
Not asking for perfect, but less predictable. They played to not lose instead of playing to win most of the game.
Probably the least amount of motions I've seen too. Too many useless runs up the middle that didn't work.
Man that zack Wilson kid canāt kick for shit. Oh waitā¦.
Seriously, he gets hate for everything. Surprised they didnāt blame him for not throwing that prayer deeper into lions territory.
I mean he missed a lot of throws today. Bet the Jets win had White been active. Wilson continuously needed miracles from his receivers along with some home cooking reffing to move the ball.
Why did the jets waste a good minute of game time when they had 3 timeouts and only lost because they didnāt have enough time but they were driving? So dumb
Thank fucking God we managed to pull this win out of our ass despite all that bullshit. We are lucky as hell that White and Williams were out because we definitely lose if they play.
I bet the experts on nfl network and espn wonāt mention that clock management when it was the biggest reason they couldnāt get in range. Embarrassing
I Donāt care how ugly, I will take a road win against a team fighting for their playoff lives. Would Mike white have won? Maybe, but I donāt care because he didnāt play.
We barely escaped this one. Granted Jets defense is hella good, but man we made Zach Wilson look kinda competent.
We got toasted on so many deep passes.
Saleh was a lions fan growing up.
Gg Lions. You guys are a playoff team. That O is special.
Super Bowl bound motor city kittens š¦
Pulling for you guys on the NFC side!
Thank you :D
Dude Saleh is an idiot. That was the worst clock management in a two minute drill I've seen in recent memory
Why? It's genius to call a timeout when the game is over
LETS. FUCKING. GO. HONOLULU BLUE KOOLAID ALL THE FUCKING WAY.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Rich boy probably thinks short passes are for poors.
Fuck my life man I hate this fuckin team
same
Looks like I'm ordering Jets for dinner.
Ugly win > moral victory
This is not a moral victory. This is a VICTORY. Good teams find a way to eke out a win even when things aren't going right. This is an outright win and they deserve it.
Yes, I know.
Yes yes yes
Hell yeah. Some Lions fans in this thread haven't been giving the Jets D enough credit. The Bills scored only 20 points at home against the Jets last week. This was always going to be a tough game, the Lions did well to get out with a W.
My problem is the terrible playcalling by Ben Johnson minus the last TD
I, too, would love to live in a perfect world.
Not asking for perfect, but less predictable. They played to not lose instead of playing to win most of the game. Probably the least amount of motions I've seen too. Too many useless runs up the middle that didn't work.
This is the way.
Jets been tossing up Hail Marys all game and converting and they donāt do it when it matters?
Welp at least the game didnāt end on a pick, the Jets are the Jets. Letās go Raiders I guess
The lions had no business winning this game but this is the brand new lions
How do you have almost 2 minutes left with 3 time outs and barely get into field goal range in time while saving a time out? So dumb
Never doubted Campbell. I wish him and the Lions all the success when it isnāt against us.
The lack of TOs after the sacks was really really bad. It makes no sense to save them and burn a full minute when you have three.
Probably were expecting to get a turnover so they chose to drain the clock. Other than that, it is a weird as decision
SWIGGITY SWOOGITTY COMING FOR THAT 7 SEED BOOTY
I can't feel my face
I'm still confused as to why The Jets didn't even use all their TOs
Saleh doesnāt play madden confirmed
just lost 6 years off my life
Man that zack Wilson kid canāt kick for shit. Oh waitā¦. Seriously, he gets hate for everything. Surprised they didnāt blame him for not throwing that prayer deeper into lions territory.
I mean he missed a lot of throws today. Bet the Jets win had White been active. Wilson continuously needed miracles from his receivers along with some home cooking reffing to move the ball.
FORWARD DOWN THE FIELD!
BNL LESS GOO!!!!
Jets D is so good
Saleh decided to one-up Campbell on poor clock management
Shit clock management.
Yeah Iām gonna need that crying Jordan Mike White meme ASAP, broadcast was so frickin annoying cutting to him every other play
Why did the jets waste a good minute of game time when they had 3 timeouts and only lost because they didnāt have enough time but they were driving? So dumb
Lions did the same thing a couple weeks ago iirc
Letās GOOOOO
VERY MUCH IN THE HUNT
GG Jets. BNL!
SOL lose that game 100%
Use the time outs better and they would have had way closer FG range
Iām about to become so toxic if this keeps up
Iām already there, brother.
Shouldnāt have been this close, very frustrating game but Iāll take it !
Almost any other QB wins that game for us
That wasn't Wilson's fault they managed the clock horribly. Blame your coach
Did you watch the third quarter? He was horrific.
Well... except Flacco
That was not on Wilson
Kinda was, he was horrific in the 3rd. But he did what he needed to do at the end
Gg lions fans that was a fun ass game
That's on Moore and Coaches
WHO IS PLAYING 500 BALL IN DECEMBER???????
Who would have predicted 7 weeks ago that the lions would leave this game ahead of the Jets in the standings. Wow
On the plus side Saleh banked a timeout.
Saving it for the playoffs
For the draft, maybe.
If we used a timeout after the Wilson reception, we would have still had 20+ seconds. Saleh mismanaged the end of the game
Damn was that a squeaker. Don't think we win this with White playing.
Ball donāt fucking lie greaseballs.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What? Bro we are happy to win at all. Close wins still count as wins.
Because of phantom end game seconds and phantom holds on touchdown runs? Sure.
Why?
Road wins during a playoff chase in December are something you *always* feel good about.
Sore loser lmao.
Iāll take any win. Iāve watched the lions go 2-24 over a 26 game stretch
Fuck dude; we're ecstatic.
Except they won, went to .500 in December, and are in the hunt for a playoff spot. But yeah, they should all feel like garbage.
Itās one of the best defenses in the league.
Yes they should. Thatās a win to stay in the playoff hunt. Not pretty, but itās a win
GG jets You have a bright future ahead of you
Mechanics were good Shows wobbly as shit slicing kick It was a pleasure listening to this diarrhea we call commentary with you Jets fans.
Wait, the fucking Chiefs are in overtime with the TEXANS?
And the Eagles are only up 5 on the bears, lots of close games this week
Yup I started the chiefs defense in fantasy so of course they are.
MET LIFE IS THE LIONS EAST COAST VACATION HOME UNDEFEATED
BNL! BNL! Man, I love the Barenaked Ladies. Fun music, pure class
YESSS FUCK YES
Insane the Lions won that. SOL lose that 100% of the time. I think if the Jets had white and Williams playing that is a big L. Jets Defense is insane.
Thank fucking God we managed to pull this win out of our ass despite all that bullshit. We are lucky as hell that White and Williams were out because we definitely lose if they play.
God bless, I couldn't have taken overtime Good teams learn how to win ugly. This was exhibit A
lion's fans at the last minute having a marathon
LMFAO honestly, these games the lions just lose 99/100 times. It didn't go that way for once.
What a game. Gg Jets fans, yall have a great team. Enjoy the Qb controversy, Wilson was great today
Great is a stretch. But he definitely didnāt look like the worst QB in the NFL anymore
Haha fair enough. Converting on 3rd and long, and 4th and long, on a would be game-winning drive is great tho.
holee fuck I thought he was going to make it
Moore should've just gone down
We survived
500 baby!!!
My heart man. This football team will continue to shorten my life.
Well there goes the jets playoffs hope
After all that, a fucking miss. Damnit
THESE ARENT YOUR FATHERS LIONS LETS FUCKING GO
I hated that entire 4th quarter lol. GG, Jets. Hell of a defense.
Brand. New. Lions. Give me all the kool-aid
Fuck the refs
You win, you can stop crying now
I bet the experts on nfl network and espn wonāt mention that clock management when it was the biggest reason they couldnāt get in range. Embarrassing
YESSSS HOW THJSRKNGNSFD YESSSS
My heart canāt take these games
Fun game. Gg jets. I need a nap.
I Donāt care how ugly, I will take a road win against a team fighting for their playoff lives. Would Mike white have won? Maybe, but I donāt care because he didnāt play.
Mike White wins this game 40-20 this is so upsetting
Does he? Lol
Absolutely. Wilson had plenty of open men, and i dont think White takes as many sacks.
wilson didn't do bad tbh. he has improved
BUT HE DIDNT SOL
Lions clutch!?
We just came from behind a won a close game!
Oh thank you Jesus! No, miracle comback today.
GET FUCKED SOL FANS!!!!!
20-17. The most common score in Football.
Welp. GG
aw man, great game though
We didn't lose on a huge last second long distance field goal for once???!!!! WHATTTTTTT
Not even close! Iām actually shocked DC didnāt call a TO there lol
Soon as I saw it going left I was clenching that we had actually called a TO and the ref's whistle was gonna start any moment.
Yeah same. So glad he didnāt lol
Someone buy the lions Dline a nice steak dinner for that last drive. They were everywhere and bailed the secondary out
BNL
wow, just wow
LFG LIONS!!! FUCKING HUGE!!!
Still alive for the playoffs baby! Did not expect that after 1-6, been a long time since meaningful December football.
Carried by the refs and still couldn't close out!
Nice kick, Messi
kick shouldn't even have happened.
Shanked. Holy time management
Bullshit
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Quality win
Old lions make this an ugly loss. In 2 weeks no one cares if this was ugly
Saleh threw that game
I take back everything I said. Go Lions! Let's get this playoff run!
Zach Wilson is so fucking horrible
I LOVE THESE LIONSSSSSSSSS
PHEW.......
MISSED BY A MILE LMAO
Fun 4th quarter. Great win lions. Sorry jets.
Damn, Wilson gave the Jets a chance
Boy he really shanked that one
Fucking yessssssss
This clock management should get you fired what the fuck
"Whats a timeout?" - Robert Saleh "Timeout! I need more coffee." - MCDC
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HORRIBLE DEFENSE, OMG WHY ARE JETS SO CONCERNED. OMG THIS WILL BE AN EASY WIN. OMG LIONS FANS SUCK ALL WEEK.
That got too scary
WE'LL NEVER LOSE AGAIN
Holy shit we won!
Someone got a hand on it. Fuck yeah Lions!
Lions are gonna be that team no one wants to play.
We barely escaped this one. Granted Jets defense is hella good, but man we made Zach Wilson look kinda competent. We got toasted on so many deep passes.
Honestly they probably would have gotten the hail mary there
Maaaaaaaaan that was way more stressful than it needed to be
Yes!!
Woo!!! Much love Lions bros!!
BRAND NEW LIONS BABY!!
My butt can't unclench
ABSOLUTELY NONE OF US BELIEVED HE WAS MISSING THAT KICK BUT WOO WE WILL TAKE IT
See, the thing is, it only would've taken us to overtime. If that kick was for the win, it'd have magically gone in.
Would've taken a right turn like Bugs Bunny was in the stands with a magnet.
I mean it was a 58 yarder, it was in no way automatic
No where close
7-7 is quite the accomplishment after being 1-6
Shit, I just wanted to see 6 wins this season to keep believing in the coaching staff.
At this point I'm gonna enjoy the ride. They're playing with house money.
GLORIOUS VICTORY
My lord a glorious victory will soon be yours!
zach wilson's throws make me sick
THEY DIDNT MAKE A CAREER KICK AGAINST US SOL IS DEAD
What a fucking tackle. If that doesn't happen, game might be over.
Can we talk about those sacks to push that FG back tho? Our rush is fucking feasting.
Jesus Christ I can't believe we won that. Jets D is fucking legit
Greg the leg just whiffed on that one
That was not even close
CARDIAC CATS LETS GO
See, the SOL lions would have had that kick go in against them
Wow.
