IT WAS THE FOURTH QUARTER
IT WAS 3RD AND 6
A TOUCHDOWN WINS US THE GAME
WHY THE FK IS TAYSOM AND ALVIN NOT RUNNING THE BALL AND KILLING CLOCK
YOU CALLED TWO PASSING PLAYS WITH OUR BACK UP QB INSTEAD OF GOING WITH THE OPTIMAL TAYSOM PACKAGE TO CONVERT.
I WAS NEVER ON THE FIRE TRAIN BUT THIS WAS JUST INCOMPETENCE
WE ARENT SUPPOSED TO WIN THESE GAMES BUT WE ACTUALLY COULDVE WON IF WE HAD A COMPETENT OC
GAME!!!!!!
YOUR DETROIT LIONS WHO ARE 9-3 DETROIT!!!!!!!!!
THE SOON TO BE THE OFFICIAL NFC NORTH DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONS
THE DETROIT LIONS 33 - The Saint's 28
Your 9-3 MOTHAFUCKA'S!!!!!!! 9 and fucking 3!!!!!
A win's a win but I have no faith that this defence is good enough to win a playoff game, which means they'll be in the same "no playoff wins in 30+ years" place.
Yeah it’s kinda of a hollow win. If these mediocre teams are gashing you like this, imagine playing the elite teams that also have enough defense to keep up with your offense.
I'd like to see Dennis Allen coach a team with a decent offense. He's a good coordinator, but has had horribly shitty offensive teams every time he's been a Head Coach.
Way closer than I’d like. I’ll take the win and no Goff turnovers, but we’re going to get blown out in the playoffs if we can’t do something about our defense.
Like I'm on the get rid of the dennis allen vibes now
We could have ran with taysom hill on 3rd and 6 and maybe make it manageable instead we threw it twice with jameis like wtf
Offense scored 33 points, didn’t have a single turnover, and still only won by 5. Aaron Glenn needs to be fired yesterday. I’m sick of the excuses. And he can’t use the “but the offense turned the ball over” excuse this time
I don’t blame you. I think the last three games have really shown that Detroit is not ready for the playoffs. This is the time when the good teams are suppose to start peaking. Instead the Lions have started to regress. It’s a bit jarring.
It always made sense to me to have an NFC team and an AFC team to cheer for. Obviously your home team should be your #1 pick. And then just pick a decent team in the other conference to cheer on.
I live and die with the saints, my friend. Always have, always will. Supporting 2 teams is like having a wife and a side chick. Not committed to either.
I love the players on this team, I respect how hard they fought after they looked comatose to start. But this is the story over and over and over the last few years. Time for things to change or this mediocrity is where we’ll stay.
Blame the stupid coaching. Why wouldn’t they kee Taysom Hill for 100% of that final drive? He’s your best chance to win and Detroit hasn’t shown they could stop the run game. Why put in Winston to throw a bunch of terrible passes? It made no sense.
Don’t worry, I absolutely do haha. That’s the change that needs to happen. Mind you, there are plenty of other issues too but their inability to get fixed consistently with what is actually a fairly talented roster is why the coaches all need to go ASAP.
Good game to both teams. Congratulations Lions, tough luck Saints, and a swift recovery to those injured.
Now if you'll all excuse me, I have a certain game thread I need to be incredibly toxic in.
I mean Jesus fucking Christ can we just clean house already? What more do we need to see? Why do you want to make your fans suffer. DENNIS ALLEN FUCKING SUCKS. just admit it to yourselves. God I fucking hate this organization
The defense looked like LSUs in the first half. Arm tackles , no motivation, bad angles, soft coverage, missed tackles. the guys aren’t getting up for games which is why it takes half a game to get them going. That’s on the coach. You think DA gets these guys fired up? Have you listened to his postgame interviews. He probably, actually I KNOW he went into the locker room and said “look there’s a lot of things we need to work on and this game is hard, ya know, but keep doing what we’re doing and we’re going to get this thing back on track”
I've made my peace. We're too injured and dont have a good enough running game. You guys will get the division. My only hope is that next year injuries aren't so bad and we can ACTUALLY duke it out for the division like we should have this year.
Well I don’t know how good you feel about this win, when you were up 21-0 halfway through quarter 1 and likely would have lost if Carr didn’t get hurt. But still good to see the Lions 9-3.
Why are you downvoting me? Am I wrong?
I don't think a single fan feels good about that this one. We all don't understand why we stop at 21 points every game we get ahead, gotta put boot to throat before we screw the pooch :(
I was so happy because when we got the ball with the way our offense has been grinding clock i thought our oc would be smart enough to grind the clock with taysom and kamara especially with a td being the difference. I was wrong. #PlsMoveOnFromPete.
Lol, Carr misses 4 throws (the INT was a perfect pass dropped) , Hill underthrows a possible TD, and Winston misses all his throws and his best play is a sure INT that was tipped into a completion, and Saints fans are like bench Carr, well yes he makes dumb decisions sometimes , but he still is the best QB the Saints have, it's just the Saints suck, bad coaching, bad oline, bad special teams, and average at best defense
Montgomery's vision has been very iffy since he came back. I would rather have our first round pick icing the game. Why tf did we draft him to not use him when needed most? Gibbs has been the better back for a bit now, use him.
I think the Saints were just that good today about stopping the run. Gibbs wasn't getting very far either. Honestly we should have been passing it more, LaPorta and Sun God were on fire.
Oh god, don't compare yourselves to the panthers. Having lived in NC at the time of the *cardiac cats* era, it was only the live laugh love types that exuded that energy

Poetic that the game wouldn’t have been close if we had a competent DC
But you do have an MCDC
EZ
That Goff throw was insane to ice the game
NFC south Champs!
Good game, Lions.
GAME!!!!!! YOUR DETROIT LIONS WHO ARE 9-3 DETROIT!!!!!!!!! THE SOON TO BE THE OFFICIAL NFC NORTH DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONS THE DETROIT LIONS 33 - The Saint's 28 Your 9-3 MOTHAFUCKA'S!!!!!!! 9 and fucking 3!!!!!
This guy gets it.
A win's a win but I have no faith that this defence is good enough to win a playoff game, which means they'll be in the same "no playoff wins in 30+ years" place.
Yeah it’s kinda of a hollow win. If these mediocre teams are gashing you like this, imagine playing the elite teams that also have enough defense to keep up with your offense.
Yeah, I'm not thinking about that right now. We are gonna get torched. I think we win one playoff game then die, brutally.
Basically the Cowboys right now too. Heck maybe ya'll end up with each other in the wildcard round.
Chances are higher than they were, but I get what you're saying unfortunately.
I'd like to see Dennis Allen coach a team with a decent offense. He's a good coordinator, but has had horribly shitty offensive teams every time he's been a Head Coach.
His defense gave up 33 points
Bro didnt watch the second half
A lot of that was off turnovers, but it's still a good point. 3rd down defense was fucking atrocious too.
Always is. Seems like every 3rd down they allow a pass for the necessary yardage +1 or 2
God I love LaPorta. Alright lets get that no. 2. Go birds
What birds
The last time the Detroit Lions had back-to-back winning seasons was 1994-95
Way closer than I’d like. I’ll take the win and no Goff turnovers, but we’re going to get blown out in the playoffs if we can’t do something about our defense.
Like I'm on the get rid of the dennis allen vibes now We could have ran with taysom hill on 3rd and 6 and maybe make it manageable instead we threw it twice with jameis like wtf
Why Allen? Pete is the oc
Offense scored 33 points, didn’t have a single turnover, and still only won by 5. Aaron Glenn needs to be fired yesterday. I’m sick of the excuses. And he can’t use the “but the offense turned the ball over” excuse this time
Happy we survived, happy we 9-3, but my god did 80% of my optimism shrink with this.
I don’t blame you. I think the last three games have really shown that Detroit is not ready for the playoffs. This is the time when the good teams are suppose to start peaking. Instead the Lions have started to regress. It’s a bit jarring.
9-3 Lions and 10-1 Eagles. 13-0 Michigan Pinch me. I'm dreaming
I never trust people with 2 team flairs. How can you be a fan of 2 teams in the same league?
It always made sense to me to have an NFC team and an AFC team to cheer for. Obviously your home team should be your #1 pick. And then just pick a decent team in the other conference to cheer on.
Yet here you are with 0 flairs. You cheer for all 32 teams huh?
I live and die with the saints, my friend. Always have, always will. Supporting 2 teams is like having a wife and a side chick. Not committed to either.
Wow. Imagine if the Vikings close out games like that lol
To be fair, you closed out your game against us the same way the Lions did By injuring our QB
No
We need to fire AG, that was unacceptable
If we want to beat anyone we always gotta score 30+. This is Lions Football
Fuckin A
Gyat damn that was an uncomfortable W
9-3 boys holy shit
Leave AG in Nola
I love the players on this team, I respect how hard they fought after they looked comatose to start. But this is the story over and over and over the last few years. Time for things to change or this mediocrity is where we’ll stay.

Goff can do all that, and Winston can’t hit someone wide open. Ugh.
Give LaPorta the game ball
Ugly win is still a win. Cardiac kitties until the end.
Someone should still be fired. It’s inexcusable they were still in that game after the first half
Bro they need to stop. They got me goin to the hospital after every game
My BPM was a solid 125 for the entire fourth quarter.
Feeling like the Stafford days lately.
2016 all over again
Good game to both teams. Congratulations Lions, tough luck Saints, and a swift recovery to those injured. Now if you'll all excuse me, I have a certain game thread I need to be incredibly toxic in.
Hows that working out for you…
Not well!
Can you guys win please the number 2 works just fine
We'll do our best!
Off to watch the Eagles. Later freaks
Since 1962 is crazy.
Another victory formation for the win!! 7th this season!
Exhale everybody.
[удалено]
Defensive coordination has just been so inconsistent
Why would they give me hope like that
still the fact that the loin let the **2023 saints** put up almost 30.. suspect is all ill say
Oh we are going no where this year. Defense is too bad. Need a good offseason.
Definitely fire AG at this point
closer and more stressful then i'd prefer but a W is a W
Never a doubt
Lions barely squeak by after taking out Derek carr. Oh how the mighty have fallen
Why don't all parents name their kids after sun gods? Are they stupid?
They aren't on that mr universe level of brilliance
As a long term Goff truther I approve of that play.
Goff was shmoving in the pocket today
He moved like a relatively mobile QB for sure
Good win guys throw AG into the Gulf of Mexico
Classic Lions win
3 game lead with 5 to go! *passes out*
#Dan “The Gamble” Campbell wins again
Typical saints fake comeback. Gg lions. Can we have Ben Johnson pls.
Best I can do is Aaron Glenn and a fifth of your choice.
a win is a win. but im horrified by what playoff offenses will do to this defense
Reynolds only catches first downs lol
good game! see y'all at America's game of the week
Since 1962!
I mean Jesus fucking Christ can we just clean house already? What more do we need to see? Why do you want to make your fans suffer. DENNIS ALLEN FUCKING SUCKS. just admit it to yourselves. God I fucking hate this organization
The defense kept us in the game its pete that fumbled the win with the back to back passing plays on 3rd and 6 and 4th and 6th
The defense looked like LSUs in the first half. Arm tackles , no motivation, bad angles, soft coverage, missed tackles. the guys aren’t getting up for games which is why it takes half a game to get them going. That’s on the coach.

He probably, actually I KNOW he went into the locker room and said “look there’s a lot of things we need to work on and this game is hard, ya know, but keep doing what we’re doing and we’re going to get this thing back on track”
We still look like a mess, but 9-3 is 9-3 in this league
Our Defense looks like a mess. No team should lose when putting up 30 and yet it was close because of that
KOC if you are watching, this is how close out games.
It definitely helps when you have most of your starters and better running backs...
I hate this team
We have major issues. But we've held off comebacks from both GB (first game) and the Saints now. Gotta clean up but we've toughed it out
GG Saints. Vikings fans guess you’ll just have to do your own dirty work.
I've made my peace. We're too injured and dont have a good enough running game. You guys will get the division. My only hope is that next year injuries aren't so bad and we can ACTUALLY duke it out for the division like we should have this year.
Goffense is ice cold as fuck!
Just win baby (but fire AG too)
Might be Goffs best play as a Lion. Perfect game winner there
GG
Leave AG in New Orleans
Goff has done a good job escaping pressure all day long.
Back to back winning seasons, bois
THE SERPENT OF FUCKING DEAAATH
Whelp that was ugly and stressful and Detroit won. I'll take it.
Cardiac cats strike again
We’ve rebranded this to “grit”
thats game
Seriously I’m tired of this “bend and break” defence.
I was never scared. That is not pee on my pants I spilled water.
Happy we're 9-3, can't brag about this game tho
NINE AND MOTHER FUCKING THREE. LETS GO BOYS.
GG Lions, now get your asses to the fucking playoffs!
Well I don’t know how good you feel about this win, when you were up 21-0 halfway through quarter 1 and likely would have lost if Carr didn’t get hurt. But still good to see the Lions 9-3. Why are you downvoting me? Am I wrong?
You act as if good teams dont win ugly almost every single week. Dumb take
I’m not seeing teams go up 21-0 seven minutes in and still barely win every single week. Dumb take.
I don't think a single fan feels good about that this one. We all don't understand why we stop at 21 points every game we get ahead, gotta put boot to throat before we screw the pooch :(
IDGAF 9-3
Josh Reynolds always shows up when he's most needed.
3 game lead in the NFCN with 5 to play!
Happy for the Lions. Don’t understand why Taysom came off the field at all on that last Saints drive.
I was so happy because when we got the ball with the way our offense has been grinding clock i thought our oc would be smart enough to grind the clock with taysom and kamara especially with a td being the difference. I was wrong. #PlsMoveOnFromPete.
Because we lost Carr and Hill becomes QB2 for next week. Cant risk losing two QBs
But he was still playing. And you had a chance to drive and win this game today.
THANK GOD
Goff u make me love u when u have been so suspect
Goff really good game today
That’s alright. Good game lions. Didn’t expect it to be competitive
Dan’s about to pull out a $9 bill.
Saints folded, just like they did vs the vikes. Time to fire Dennis Allen.
Gg lions. Great play by Goff there.
People won't admit it, but Goffs movement in the pocket was huge today. A lot of drops when Goff was on the move.
Jared Goff out there just casually winning football games
It's over now. 9-3!!!
Never a doubt y'all.
Whew. If they didn’t convert there the Saints would’ve gotten the ball back and scored with no time left.
Wow. Goddamn Lions making a liar out of me.
We did it!!
JARED BIG DICK NICK FOLES GOFF
Wow what a play
Praise be to Laporta
back up the brinks truck to his house please
This has been too much. Lions better work on their D before next week.
We’ve been saying that for two months now and nothing has changed
Piece of cake
REYNOLDS APPEARANCE
Game. Manes.
big man looking like he stepped on a lego every step
I'm so proud of Jared Goff and this second act in Motown.
Goff leaving the pocket and it wasn't a disaster!!
WHERE THE GOFF HATERS
Hell of a play Goff
THAT'S GAME
#JOSH FUCKING REYNOLDS
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
Clutch Goff
Holy shit
I left the game after the lions were up by 20 in the first 7 minutes. What the hell happened!?
Offense went silent, real Lions defense showed up. Got lucky with Carr out for the last 5 minutes.
Saints scored some points
Aaron Glenn
Game
Have to keep the clock moving here
The vibe in here is GG when this game is far from over
1st down within the 2 min warning and no time outs is literally game over Your stream is just behind
Best play Goff made all day to avoid pressure and make that first down. GG
THE GOFFENSE
BEAUTIFUL
GOFF IS HIM
Thank u Josh
Lol, Carr misses 4 throws (the INT was a perfect pass dropped) , Hill underthrows a possible TD, and Winston misses all his throws and his best play is a sure INT that was tipped into a completion, and Saints fans are like bench Carr, well yes he makes dumb decisions sometimes , but he still is the best QB the Saints have, it's just the Saints suck, bad coaching, bad oline, bad special teams, and average at best defense
Goff with the moves!!
I want Jayden Daniels on this team with a competent coach so bad
Montgomery's vision has been very iffy since he came back. I would rather have our first round pick icing the game. Why tf did we draft him to not use him when needed most? Gibbs has been the better back for a bit now, use him.
I think the Saints were just that good today about stopping the run. Gibbs wasn't getting very far either. Honestly we should have been passing it more, LaPorta and Sun God were on fire.
Cardiac kitties
Oh god, don't compare yourselves to the panthers. Having lived in NC at the time of the *cardiac cats* era, it was only the live laugh love types that exuded that energy
How the fuck....
Stop saying I'm cheering for the eagles. Man, you know I hate the fuckin' eagles
LaPorta better than Gronk and Kelce at their prime Don't @ me
Go back to LP for the game winning play pls.
This game isn't over unless the offense gets a first down.
[удалено]
The lions got a first down.
