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

    • When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays 
    • 9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
    • So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
