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

[TheGreenTBer]

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

I remember that but I thought he wouldn't come back for such a short time after reconsidering.

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.

Just need to fix that defense.

He came out and shot down those rumors himself saying he felt refreshed during last year.

For what it’s worth he committed to Rams long-term in a public comment s couple weeks ago.

Just never know until you get to the off-season

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.

I loved Stafford but I don't feel bad at all. He got his Superbowl, he had his time, now is our time and it's been a long time coming.

 

[Reality Check]

But they are going to beat the Eagles or Bucs.

Tampa? Yes...They already beat them this year as well

Still believe Philadelphia can pull it together and reach the conference finals. Detroit has issues with running QB's and their defense is relatively the same as last year.

One of their starting CB's is a guy picked off another team's practice squad a few weeks ago.

Pretty much. We'll see if Cooper Kupp can stay healthy and bounce back next year, but he wasn't himself this season. Luckily with the emergence of Puka and Kyren they have new life in that offence. Need to better support Donald on the Defensive side of things and they could be a wagon moving forward.

I will say I'm not a Rams fan, but I watched them a ton this year because they were an exciting team with those young guys. One player I've really liked is Davis Allen. I think he could be ready for a bigger role next season.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Gets even better since with what happened in Dallas, the Lions are guaranteed at least one more home playoff game since they get the winner of Tampa/Philly

I don't believe in the Eagles. Their defense is what it is, awful.

Considering the weather outside, Mich sports fans gotta be thinking hell has indeed frozen over. First the Wolverines with the national championship. Now the Lions winning a playoff game?

 

[Terry Yake]

congrats to any lions fans here. can't imagine how good that win felt

 

[StreetHawk]

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.

If you do use them earlier in the second half, did you at least score or upgrade your scoring chance?

If you were not in FG range did the TO help you get into range? If you were already in FG range did you upgrade to a TD?

If you aren’t doing that, then the timeout is going to be questioned at the end of the game.

I can.

They are hyperventilating.

 

[GKJ]

Lions are now 6-1 all time at home in the playoffs

 

[Squiffy]

congrats to any lions fans here. can't imagine how good that win felt

Can relate as Leaf fan. Happy for Lions fans tonight, and like chances against Eagles or TB at home next week. Expecting to see you in NFC champ game against my 9ers, when we will then be mortal enemies.

In the mean time, next beer is for you. Going assume Fugu was a Lions fan, it’s for her too.

Brutal for the Rams on top of the L. He took out Hockenson with the exact same hit a few weeks back. Also resulting in a torn ACL.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Maybe have that comparison segment on that nikolodian broadcast.

It was just so out of the blue for the Sunday night playoff.

Pokemon is about 26-28 years old...the first batch of fans are nearing 40 or over it.

That play will be banned next year, for sure

...aaaaaaand thank you for making us feel old, ya jerk.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

A rare feeling of joy for us Lions fans, so I'm definitely going to enjoy this!

Now if only we had a competent DC and a secondary that wasn't beyond awful, ha.

I'm in the club, being a fresh 35 year old.

 

[Bondurant]

I parlayed Lions covering the spread w/ over and lost both. I do not care. Last night is one of the best sporting nights of my life.

I'm older than you. I just post like a 15-year old that's off his meds so it's hard to tell.
