The Official Detroit Lions Den Thread

[MAD]

We deserve this

Win or lose next week, the Lions are 60 minutes from making the Super Bowl.

I’ve softened up a bit on the Packers, Love is so much more likable than Rodger’s.

Rodgers was fairly likable until Green Bay didn't address pressing needs in the draft. That started several years before Love came along. Rodgers is a first class flake, but he is easily one of the best QBs of all time. Top 3 in arm talent. Love seems to have learned a thing or two from him. His play is eerily similar

Rodgers got old for us too. I think most Packers fans were ready for him to leave. He wasted a lot of playoff opportunities because of his arrogance and nonchalance.

Love has much more of that “small town, community owned, nobody is bigger than the team” type of mentality. Which is supposed to be what we’re all about. I’m just happy he seems to be the answer for us at quarterback.

Should be a fun next few seasons fighting for the division crown

I think that failed 2 point conversion deflated Tampa Bay’s momentum.

I hate making your team have to cross the goal line again. You take any mystery out of the moment if you don’t get it the first time. The D knows you’re forced to go for it. If you kick the PAT and decide to go for 2 that puts a lot more pressure on the D, plus you probably still have your best 2 point play available. I don’t agree w/ the chart. I’ll take the feel
Of the game every time

No arguing that, I’m just a bitter Lions fan when it comes to Aaron. He owned us for so many years and had several incredible comebacks. It’s quite amazing that GB went from Farve to Rodgers to now Love.

Happy to know that either Jauan Jennings or Cam/Reeves-Maybin/Hendons team will be playing in a Super Bowl. And if the Ravens make it Tee Martin may get a Super Bowl ring to go with his other championship ring he has.

15 years of frustration. 15 years of being let down. 15 years of thinking it will never happen, just hoping for the bare minimum. And a lot of fans have felt that for much, much longer. It’s been one incredible ride.

Yeah, they've got it figured out on the most important position in football

I’m watching the Peyton’s Place reversing the jinx episode, first time watching the whole episode, so good.

Guess what?
























Lions won again.

Nervous but grateful.
We are -6.5 point dogs to the best roster in the league. This is gravy at this point.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

You guys have to win it all, I dont' want any of the other 3 to win.

The Packers were -10 point underdogs in Santa Clara and would have won yesterday had they gotten out of their own way.

The Niners aren’t unbeatable. Y’all can definitely win that game if you can just play somewhere close to even on the line of scrimmage. Their skill position players are very average (outside of Kittle and Deebo-who may not even be playing).

You guys have a solid team. I don’t think this run is a fluke at all.

San Fran has two weaknesses. Right side of their OL and their interior run D. Both places where the Lions can take advantage with the run game and Hutch

The third qtr consistently was a problem for us all season. With them getting the ball first to start the half, keeping the scoring to just 7-7 for those 15 minutes was huge.

The defense really answered after the half to get off the field after giving up that stupid drive before the half.

Glenn drives me insane with his love of press coverage and the lack of CB talent is Holmes’ biggest miss of his tenure but I thought the gameplan from him was actually good today.
