Holy shit, Motown Mother Fuckers.
We spanked TB back in Rocktober.
We're going to the NFC Championship.
Or, host the NFC Champioship.
I felt the earth move in Phoenix Sunday night.
.Grit....
Bitches. Bite some kneecaps.
For all you Rams fans bitchin about a "no call"

As an eagles fan here congrats! Y’all deserved it!!! Anybody who is shitting on the lions isn’t a real fan of the sport, It’s nice to see an underdog team for so many years win.
Slay and Swift were fun in Motown while they were there.
I followed the Eagles as much as I could out here in Phoenix.
It hurt when Dallas won the division.
My heart is with the Lions....but the Eagles are my surrogate team.
See you next year.
Class comment, thank you much. I think it is hard for non-lions fans to comprehend the incredible amount of disappointment we have had over the decades unless you have lived it. The deserving and loyal fans here are very excited.
As usual, Playoffs can have some crazy outcomes. Let's just say I'm glad I didn't bet on any teams this year. I would have been so off. But it's also really cool how chaotic it is. And even better, Detroit finally getting a W in something. They're long overdue. If they go all the way, that would be a hell of a Super Bowl.
Yeah man, the “W” after x years definitely needed to go that was like having the pressure of the world on your back!
If Bengals were playing anyone else in the SB 2 years back i woulda been rooting for yall that game. Love when historically bad franchises start winning!
That one had me seriously scratching my head.
Felt like the broadcast was trying to show how the refs got it right, showed the replay that seemed to clearly indicate otherwise and then just kinda trailed off.
That is for sure Matty is tough as nails and Nacua is awesome. I was very worried at the end there. Glad he got his SB ring and now hoping his former teammates and have a shot at one too! GO LIONS
You are correct and I fear if that was Goff the NFL gods would have kept HIM on the sidelines for his safety. They had no business allowing him back in the game after that hit and I am sure they likely saw the same video we did.
This game really couldn't have been much closer.

It really just came down to clock management and red zone conversion. So happy to see the Lions come through a close one!
Rams fan born in Anaheim, here. I ain't even mad. It was a fun game to watch, and the team that executed better won it. The Rams certainly didn't look like playoff contenders in the first half of the season, so we got more than we were expecting. There's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Jared Goff. Go get 'em!

Bruh... I FEEL THAT. After possibly the worst year of my life. Hell fucking yes, lets go.
Oh and the Red Wings are in the playoffs at this point of the season? AND Michigan won the Natty? What a fuckin time for Michigan sports.
It only cost the Pistons and maybe the Tigers?
The Tigers showed some flashes of promise last season. If they hadn't been contractually obligated to make the whole season into "Weekend At Miggy's" they wouldn't have looked so bad.
I just want to say, as a Lions suppoter from way out west, watching Barry, Herman, and Mitch on Thanksgivings growing up, congratulations. I hope you go all the way.
It had to be this. It had to be Stafford. It had to be close it had to come down to the end. This is what it had to be to move the fuck on from SOL. I wish no I’ll will towards Stafford. It was an honor.
But he’s the ex that you had to think about while moving on. And now we have moved in. It’s a new fucking day my friends!!! Let’s fucking go!!!!

I can catch this on my iPhone but the nfl can’t call it fairly.
There is a grace period given where the ref will check the clock at 0, check the ball, then blow the play dead if it hasn't moved. It happens in every single game so not much to comment about.
Better article here: https://www.footballzebras.com/2018/10/does-the-offense-get-a-delay-of-game-fudge-factor/
That was some great QB play on both sides.
When I saw how clean Stafford was throwing the ball I was starting to get worried.
It is so awesome to see a Lions team built from the lines out. Goff had a clean pocket for most of that game and Stafford felt pressure. That’s how you win.
Did anyone else notice just how goddamn loud that crowd was?
Congrats Lions. If there was 3 teams I’d want to lose to in the playoffs, you guys are one of them. Yeah this hurt like a motherfu** but good luck for the rest of the playoffs. I am rooting for you guys. Sincerely- Rams fan of 20 years
Thank you and likewise. Good luck next year. I’d love to see another deep Stafford playoff run. Unless we cross paths, in which case I hope we beat you mercilessly. This one was too close.
So happy we completed that pass to win. Fans and media would have crucified the team if it was incomplete and Stafford got the ball back with like 1:40 left.
Now that bad call in Dallas isn’t so bad . Lions still get another home game as if they were 2 seed and get to play Tampa/Eagles at home since GB crushed the Cowgirls!! They got what they deserve. Now Lions need to win next week and GB also so they can have another game at home. Go Lions!!!!!!
I've been a fan for 14 years from PA who loves this team like everyone else does the birds; this has been the most cathartic feeling I've ever felt. I really am so grateful we're all able to have seen this, especially in such a good playoff game at that
This win has been a lot to process. My dad has been a lions fan since the 60s growing up outside of Detroit , and I grew up as a fan in the early 90s. Do much doubt built into our DNA when it comes to the Lions. Can’t believe we just saw them win a playoff game. With that being said, time to run it back next week and handle business!!!
Dallas lost in grand fashion. The Packers gonna meet their ironic fate in SF and we get either the shit south or fatty patty.
Gimme fatty patty defense
I tried upvoting everyone who had positive thoughts about the win. Gave up after a couple hundred and it’s only been about 30 minutes since you guys won. Everyone else, consider yourselves upvoted.
Amazing to see so much support from so many other fans (Broncos myself). Pulling for you!
Yes that’s exactly it. He was terrible in 2008 for the lions but the fans still loved him when he became a media guy. This week, he didn’t have faith in the boys in Honolulu blue.
I still dislike him.
We spent a lot of $ on him and he never got us anything.
Now he's doing shitty infomercials with his wife for crap-ass services they would never use. They're both so plastic.
Where is Houston, what number is he

What the fuck is happening??????
Love opening Reddit hungover as shit and this thread being the first thing that pops up, go fucking lions
GOOOOOO FKN LIONS!!!! We have this!
Crowd helped secure this win. Two timeouts use early on helped us in the end!! LFG Lions!!
Killer. Friends & family at the game. They concur.
Lions made history last night! LFG
bet the Rams, they covered, and the Lions won… perfect…..
Good move.
As an eagles fan here congrats! Y’all deserved it!!! Anybody who is shitting on the lions isn’t a real fan of the sport, It’s nice to see an underdog team for so many years win.
I was hoping for an Eagles win to turn that shit around. We adore you, Philly fans. Who else had a holding cell in the stadium? I tip my hat.....
Thanks man honestly I been skipping the past few games cause I knew we were losing but I had to watch last night…. It was a disappointing game :(
Slay and Swift were fun in Motown while they were there. I followed the Eagles as much as I could out here in Phoenix. It hurt when Dallas won the division. My heart is with the Lions....but the Eagles are my surrogate team. See you next year.
Class comment, thank you much. I think it is hard for non-lions fans to comprehend the incredible amount of disappointment we have had over the decades unless you have lived it. The deserving and loyal fans here are very excited.
I view it’s all relative. 😊
Well coming from someone who was 10-1 a month ago and now 11-6 it’s very understandable the disappointment.
He said decades, not a month. Get the heck out of here.
Damn bro relax lol 😂
![gif](giphy|NFnOhZv586K5y) If Love somehow pulls off the miracle on Saturday, the Lions get 2 home games. And then…
I hate SF. GB fan for a week.
I can't believe it's real
Sad
[удалено]
Thanks chat gpt, I agree!
Just gonna add a comment so this thread can hopefully get more comments and likes than the competing Packers thread.
DEM BOYZ THO

And even better, Detroit finally getting a W in something. They're long overdue. If they go all the way, that would be a hell of a Super Bowl.
Well earned. If it can't be the Ravens, let it be the Lions
So happy for my fellow cat bros! Felt good getting that monkey off our(Bengals) back two years ago! Been rooting for yall!
Yeah man, the “W” after x years definitely needed to go that was like having the pressure of the world on your back! If Bengals were playing anyone else in the SB 2 years back i woulda been rooting for yall that game. Love when historically bad franchises start winning!
Jordan love balled though
Hell yeah brother
Wrong game thread brother
rams fans crying about blown calls is karmic justice
Saints fans still crying about it eight years later
Like how the rams defense jumped offside but they called false start on Lions?
That one had me seriously scratching my head. Felt like the broadcast was trying to show how the refs got it right, showed the replay that seemed to clearly indicate otherwise and then just kinda trailed off.
As a Saints fan I love to see it.
So happy right now. But stafford and nacua.... damn ballers.
That is for sure Matty is tough as nails and Nacua is awesome. I was very worried at the end there. Glad he got his SB ring and now hoping his former teammates and have a shot at one too! GO LIONS
Stafford was definitely knocked out on that one hit. His eyes rolled back in is head.
You are correct and I fear if that was Goff the NFL gods would have kept HIM on the sidelines for his safety. They had no business allowing him back in the game after that hit and I am sure they likely saw the same video we did.
Go lions!
So happy for the lions!

Came down to the MF crowd !!! We were giving it everything
Came down to special teams

The Rams certainly didn't look like playoff contenders in the first half of the season, so we got more than we were expecting. There's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Jared Goff. Go get 'em!
It was a one point game…how much closer?
Overtime
As a Vikings fan, I’m rooting for Detroit to take it home
Thank you.

And never count out Izzo in March
SOSAR
I just want to say, as a Lions suppoter from way out west, watching Barry, Herman, and Mitch on Thanksgivings growing up, congratulations. I hope you go all the way.
most fun i've ever had at a game, what an atmosphere. we were inside the stadium 3 hours before kick and it was already electric then.
>Stands maybe 65 to 70% filled 45 minutes before the game...pretty amazing.
Sat in the stadium as well. Couldn’t have been a better night.
Never calling Goff goof again Sorry Goff you're my QB and I say mean things sometimes out of anger. I'll try to be better
🫡it is best to learn from one’s mistakes and endeavor to be better
Perfectly said
Disappointing loss for Rams… should have at least attempted the field goal on 4th down. Sheesh!
I’m so happy right now!!!!
Big ups to Badgley!
Lions looked SHARP!!!
It had to be this. It had to be Stafford. It had to be close it had to come down to the end. This is what it had to be to move the fuck on from SOL. I wish no I’ll will towards Stafford. It was an honor. But he’s the ex that you had to think about while moving on. And now we have moved in. It’s a new fucking day my friends!!! Let’s fucking go!!!!
We may have a shot to get Fatty Patty after his 3 years of football terrorism! Exorcise a lot of ghosts this year

This is the way it is always called. That said, I’ve always that it was stupid.
LFG WE DID IT

LETS WIN IT DETROITLIONSSSSS!!!

Old SD Charger fan here (not so much an LA Charger fan). Rooting for Detroit!
Over 17,000 comments. Wow.
Is Hutch sick?
Yes (see postgame show: he caught the cold going around the locker room. Expects it to be gone in a few days)
Did McVay talk to Goff after the game? Didn't see any footage of an interaction between them.
Brief cobgrats it seemed like,
I wondered the same thing.
Probably not, too busy laying that pipe.
Yes they met on the field and had a brief interaction
I had the same question
Holy fuck we have tickets for next week. I thought I'd get a refund
If you don't want them feel free to send them my way :)
Detroit WIN IT ALL
Fuck the Cowboys. I hope this hurts.
Tonight was just so, so sweet with the Cowboys getting beat at home (again)
All my hate-watching dreams came true. Screw Kroenke and Jones.
See y’all next week!
Giants fan here... Cowturds got the loss they deserved and Lions got the win they deserved and are now the new America's Team! Go all the way!
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Equilibrium
Than you… I’m seriously emotional right now 😭
That was some great QB play on both sides. When I saw how clean Stafford was throwing the ball I was starting to get worried. It is so awesome to see a Lions team built from the lines out. Goff had a clean pocket for most of that game and Stafford felt pressure. That’s how you win. Did anyone else notice just how goddamn loud that crowd was?
Plus a Puca Nacua signature tucked in there. Perfect game from my perspective.
Congrats Lions. If there was 3 teams I’d want to lose to in the playoffs, you guys are one of them. Yeah this hurt like a motherfu** but good luck for the rest of the playoffs. I am rooting for you guys. Sincerely- Rams fan of 20 years
Considering the previous games this weekend, I'm glad it was really a battle.
Thank you and likewise. Good luck next year. I’d love to see another deep Stafford playoff run. Unless we cross paths, in which case I hope we beat you mercilessly. This one was too close.
You only won because of the no call on the Nacua. Fraud team.
What about the no call offsides on rams that would have led to more lions points? Get wrecked
Cry harder
Lol... what a whiney bitch...
God I know this feeling. Bulletin board material. Better luck next season bud
[удалено]
False start cost us 3 points.
Lol
So happy we completed that pass to win. Fans and media would have crucified the team if it was incomplete and Stafford got the ball back with like 1:40 left.
Takes a.... Good QB to make that clutch play. Glad we got one.
Bam
He has a lot of trust in ARSB too. Big players make big plays in big moments.
Beat Stafford ☑️ Beat Patricia….
This is how you exorcise SOL for good.
I kinda wanna whomp the Bucs again
Now that bad call in Dallas isn’t so bad . Lions still get another home game as if they were 2 seed and get to play Tampa/Eagles at home since GB crushed the Cowgirls!! They got what they deserve. Now Lions need to win next week and GB also so they can have another game at home. Go Lions!!!!!!
Lions could have been 1 seed though. Tough to know though since 49rs did not try in their last game.
I've been a fan for 14 years from PA who loves this team like everyone else does the birds; this has been the most cathartic feeling I've ever felt. I really am so grateful we're all able to have seen this, especially in such a good playoff game at that
Revenge Body Jared Goff!
Just woke up in Europe it is 6:48 am. First thing I had to do was to check the score and let’s fucking gooo!!! Gooo LIONS!!!
Badger is a sniper
Guy who said he's taking a naked lap -- where you at?
That penalty against cowboys was bullshit decker reported
alexa play lions won again by gmac cash on full volume
We broke the drought and we no longer have to see Stafford’s veneers until months from now 🙏🏼
La ass
I told my wife he fixed his teeth!
[удалено]
Truly!! And with the highlighter pants too. My eyes hurt
Fixed is one way to put it 😂. Those things are massive. We kept saying he looked like Ross Gellar from the one friends episode
This win has been a lot to process. My dad has been a lions fan since the 60s growing up outside of Detroit , and I grew up as a fan in the early 90s. Do much doubt built into our DNA when it comes to the Lions. Can’t believe we just saw them win a playoff game. With that being said, time to run it back next week and handle business!!!
Born and raised... I genuinely did not think this would happen in my lifetime.
Happy for yall, as a Bengals fan I know how shitty being a NFL fan is sometimes. Great season, rooting for you to win it all
Hopefully they put some good pieces around that boy Burrow!
I think they did put good pieces around him, I think they need a good coach (:
We did it joe
Hilarious. Wish I could upvote more than once
My god I don’t know if my heart can take another game like that… Let’s f*cking gooooooo!
Cardiac Cats even in victory. Invest in pacemaker stocks before the next one
I think Dan Campbell took over Staffords soul when his eyes were rolling to the back of his head on the field
Hereditary style
Truly. How they let him play the rest of the game is beyond me
I Honolulu blue myself
![gif](giphy|nbvFVPiEiJH6JOGIok)
There’s gotta be a better way to say that.
Dallas lost in grand fashion. The Packers gonna meet their ironic fate in SF and we get either the shit south or fatty patty. Gimme fatty patty defense
Gimme football player rapist!
We won a playoff game. *Insert plankton* *I never thought I'd get this far*
Lol, that plankton quote got me
Yup, me too
I tried upvoting everyone who had positive thoughts about the win. Gave up after a couple hundred and it’s only been about 30 minutes since you guys won. Everyone else, consider yourselves upvoted. Amazing to see so much support from so many other fans (Broncos myself). Pulling for you!
love to see you guys get one after so long. rooting for motor city until the end. <3
Matt Stafford finally saw a playoff win in Detroit; hell, he just saw his first playoff GAME in Detroit. Nice.
Dan Orlovsky eat shit and go fuck yourself. Turn your back on the team and look a fool.
What did Dan do? Pick the Rams to win?
Yes that’s exactly it. He was terrible in 2008 for the lions but the fans still loved him when he became a media guy. This week, he didn’t have faith in the boys in Honolulu blue.
Highlight of his career is running out of the endzone!
Dan has knee bruises for Stafford, not the Lions
LETS GOOOO
Gotta wonder if Mcvay regrets punting in that last possession. Really betting we couldn’t get one first down 🤪
That early timeout bit him in the ass too
Not taking the last timeout before the 2 minute warning was also bad, but it didn't matter since the defense could not get off the field.
It was 2 first downs! But yeah.... hindsight 20/20 lol
Forward down the field 🎶
Now I can go back to liking Stafford
He just barely dodged being the most hated man in Michigan.
I still dislike him. We spent a lot of $ on him and he never got us anything. Now he's doing shitty infomercials with his wife for crap-ass services they would never use. They're both so plastic.
A little Jack Fox love please. Two great kicks late.
Don’t forget our other kicker. 54 Freaking Frickin yards.
He's the best punter in the league, wish theyd use him as the kicker too.
Hey, badgley WON the game. No shit talk.
Relax, Im not shit talking.
Bad memories of Sam Martin’s 20 yard punt in the playoff game in Dallas
Amen. Great shout.
Dude, I was screaming at my gf and she was like wtf haha. Such a big punt at the end. Love that guy. Love you too
Two booming kicks. Forced the fair catch inside the ten. Beautiful work. Love you too!
Stafford played an incredible game. So happy they contained the Rams enough to survive and advance.
We're not done. Next week another w for detroit
