NFL GDT: 2023 NFC Wild Card Round: (3) Detroit Lions vs (6) Los Angeles Rams

[McFlyingV]

Yea the punt was an awful call.

They only needed 2 first downs to win the game, so you gotta stop them either way. Them being on the 20 or the 40 really isn't much difference.

Agreed. Especially with how the Lions punter has been kicking. Even if they get a stop here they're probably starting at their own 10-20 with a minute to go.

Goff os DOGSHIT

Stafford is horse shit

 

[BMOK33]

Campbell does same crap Garrett did, works against medicore opponents but thats a call if you make vs San Fran you're gonna lose yourself the game.

 

[Melrose Munch]

lions just barely skate by

 

[RedRocking]

Congrats Detroit.

Exactly. It literally makes no difference at all.. except that you'd still have one chance to get your 1st down.

And while it didn't happen, a punt return can happen.

Mind boggling to not give your team a chance. Instead you put it in the hands of the Lions.

I'd always want to own my own destiny.

I'm in heaven right now. I was a little kid when the Lions last won a playoff game. This one really hits in the feels.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Detroit is a shithole

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Lions fans shedding tears!

Congrats Lions fans!

 

[JTBF81]

Good game by Detroit! They will now host TB-Philly winner with a good chance at NFC title game.

 

[StreetHawk]

Stafford is horse shit

Blew 2 TO because he couldn’t get the snap off before the play clock ran out. Can’t afford to use TO before the final minutes of the game. If you do use them, then you better score on that drive. Be it nothing to a FG or from a FG range to a TD.

The Detroit Lions have won a playoff game

Lions were owed at minimum one by the refs given the heinous call earlier that went the wrong way. Don't mind that.

I agree but refs went way beyond that for them.

 

[hatterson]

The announcers talking about how the Lions always used to find a way to screw it up and now Campbell has changed that....right after the defense committed a PI that would have given the Rams a first down in easy go ahead field goal range is something.

They *did* find a way to screw it up, the officials just ignored it.

The Detroit Lions have won a playoff game.

Words that have never been said on the internet.

Words that have never been sent in a text

 

[The don godfather]

We are witnessing history .

 

[McFlyingV]

Was a really good game. Rams choked in the red zone too often. Cooper Kupp is washed.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Good on the Lions.

And hey, the Lions are historically the team that gets screwed by the refs. One going their way is way overdue.

 

[HisIceness]

Congratulations Detroit!

Who has the longest playoff win drought now?

 

[MMC]

f*** all these stupid ass refs man what the f*** was that.

 

[Avs_19]

Heck of a win for the Lions. They were the better team.

McVay with some questionable ones. Both with the timeout usage and conservative nature in general.

I also never want to hear them crying about the illegal man again after the Puka play. You’re more than even.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Oh my God.

I know this feeling...and I'm so excited for Lions fans.

The. Drought. Is. Over.

 

[BMOK33]

I feel Philly beats Detroit, I'll reserve judgement til I see them beat Tampa badly, if they squeak that game out I'll be less of a believer they do but just think if they get a W they'll reset

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Congratulations Detroit!

Who has the longest playoff win drought now?

Miami, since 2000.

Honestly we complain a lot about NHL refs on this site, but I think football refs are the worst in sports.
