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

[Boss Man Hughes]

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.

Could be because no one wants to see them ever so the league ensures it.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Congrats to the Lions and their fans! No reason they can't win next week either.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I can hardly think of a time I've been happier for a fanbase I'm not part of.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Rams had that game and choked

 

[BKIslandersFan]

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

Ehhh. It could have gone either way. Score reflects that.

 

[Karterthadon]

I'll never understand these team blowing timeouts in the 2nd half of games to avoid a 5 yard delay of game penalty, it looks even worst in the playoffs.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

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

I am not sure Eagles can even beat the Bucs.

 

[DS7]

Amazing Game, congrats Lions fans well deserved!!

 

[Reality Check]

The only goals I had for the Lions this year were to win the division and win a playoff game.

Damn if they managed to accomplish that.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

That was a really good professional football game. Sad that crap officiating is pretty much the standard in the league, but both teams played well overall and the outcome remained in doubt until the end.

Quick, let me reach into my bag of f***s to give...

Wait, it's empty!

 

[Blitzkrug]

Congrats to the Lions! 33 years since their last home playoff win. Long time coming for those fans.

And now the longest postseason win drought belongs to...the Miami Dolphins at 23 years and counting!

MIAMI HAS THE DOLPHINS THE GREATE--*shoots self*

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Can't see Lions beating 49ers. But one step at a time.

But they are going to beat the Eagles or Bucs.

 

[MMC]

Hard to be mad that we made it this far in a year we cut everyone to reset the payroll and ownership put out a letter to the fanbase warning us this year would be a step back after we missed last year but f*** man if the league would competently call a game for once I legitimately think this team could make the Super Bowl again. Just happy for Amon-Ra because I knew him in high school

 

[Reality Check]

Goff now has the opportunity to surpass Erik Kramer next week by winning his second Lions playoff game.

Sort of feel bad that this happened against Stafford. But I suppose it was meant to be.

What a week of football for your state

Rams had that game and choked

One can say that the Lions offense choked in the second half as well. Sometimes a team just wins a game, doesn't mean the other team choked. Lions went out and won it with that final pass.

Raheem Morris needs to be canned.

@Sega Dreamcast love you buddy

 

[DoyleG]

Good for the Lions. The fanbase has gone through enough that they deserve to have some success now.

Good for Goff, getting some vindication after being dumped by the Rams.

McVay is gonna have a long flight home to think about his future.

 

[DaaaaB's]

Been waiting over thirty years for this. I cheered for the Lions back in '91 but was only 8 and don't really remember watching the game. It's only the first round but still almost feels surreal.

McVay is one of the best coaches on the planet. He brought them a SB. Why would he leave?

There was rumors about it last year. Might go into broadcasting.

 

[Blitzkrug]

McVay is one of the best coaches on the planet. He brought them a SB. Why would he leave?

Because for some reason when McVay considered leaving after 2022 they just assume he's waiting to walk out the door.

He essentially rebuilt that offense overnight and they looked primed to navigate the allegedly grim future they were in for. He's not going anywhere.
