feel bad for the Lions and their fans if they blow this, but the Rams have been fuging hot lately and still have many core pieces of a recent SB winner so they shouldn’t have any shame losing despite it being at home and the difference in record 

Nothing against Detroit fans, but I'm okay with the Lions losing if it means we get Ben Johnson 😄

(it's the only real rooting interest left for me)

NFL wants Detroit to win so badly. This entire game has been about Detroit.

 

That was a clear pass interference no call.

 

Congrats Eminem and Detroit. You win your first playoff game in decades. You're going home next week enjoy it. Stafford was the best QB in the NFC.  Such a shame they forced Goff down our throats.

 

 

I watched the media do this with Michigan State in 2009 when the Final Four was in Detroit and Michigan was getting hammered by the recession. But then the game tipped off and that ass whooping commenced.

I have to be honest. 
 

I sat beside a few Lions fans tonight, and I really really hope this success of theirs is short lived. This was the most obnoxious football experience I’ve ever had. It was worse than Eagles, Steelers, or Cowboys fans. I’ve been to away games in Philly and Pittsburgh- sitting beside them here was worse than any of that.

That fanbase don’t need long term success

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
