This is Hurricanes Hockey
San Francisco beat a better team than the Lions - Green Bay. SF should win this.

Should is the key word. While McCaffery immediately puts SF in the front, a nasty hit on Deebo, a few opportunistic plays, and the Lions having a machine on offense, they've got enough to pull off their own steal.

No matter how shittily a Ford is made it will never come close to how shittily a Tesla is made.Turns out these Lions are more Mustang than Taurus.
But can they beat Tesla?
Lions offense is nothing compared to Green Bay.
Thats not the complement you think it is lolTurns out these Lions are more Mustang than Taurus.
But can they beat Tesla?
Tesla can’t touch thisTurns out these Lions are more Mustang than Taurus.

That's going away, sadly.Tesla can’t touch this
Some loser moron might come in here and tell you how fast Teslas are from a standing start, despite the fact that they are basically gigantic pieces of shit in literally everything else.
Teslas blow and EV's suck from an enthusiast standpoint no matter how fast they are. The end.

L.A. was mediocre? They were arguably the hottest team in the league coming into the playoffs.
Lions had one of the best offenses in the league this season. Several misinformed posts already in this thread.

EV's don't necessarily suck as cars, many are great options. They just suck as sports cars.
Anyways I'm done hijacking this topic. Elon Musk can suck a boar's dingleberries though.

I can tell that people are waiting and expecting to shit on the Lions. And that's fine.
I certainly didn't expect them to win one. Much less two playoff games this year. Nor am I expecting them to beat San Francisco next week.
I'll just say for a team that has made minimal improvements roster-wise after the previous season, the fact they are even in this position is wild to me. Their defense has been without their second best pass rusher all season(he was still out today) while only making three free agent signings to arguably their weakest side of the ball.
Gardner-Johnson was their high profile guy and he was hurt in week two. Only to return in week 17 or 18. Mosley was slotted in to be their other starting CB and he tore his ACL in his first game. Sutton has thankfully been available all year. Their other starting CB(the one who was going to be replaced by Mosley) got injured in practice and was played on IR before the playoffs. Making a guy they signed off another's practice squad has been starting at the other CB since the last week or two of the season.
Offense has been pretty much the same after swapping out both their starting RB's and trading Hockenson to Minnesota last season. Those holes were filled by two draft picks and a RB FA from Chicago.
I know they have a chance next week. But I'm just enjoying the ride. I find it amazing that they have gone this far, without drastic changes, after starting the season so poorly the year before. Just have to continue building on it next season.
Could be worse. At least they're not Dallas.

Just post better
SF barely beat a bad Packers team. I mean, if that’s what we’re going with.
Ok lol, you sound bitter.
Your take about the Lions offense was wrong, I'll just reiterate that again.

Mediocre. Down the stretch they beat Wash, the Saints, Giants and a Niners team playing scrubs.
