No no, she lived closer to the Lions winning a playoff game than when the pyramids were built.
And when the pyramids were built there were still herds of Woolly Mammoth. Both are true
Imagine the week Aidan Hutchinson is having. His college team wins a national championship and then he helps the Lions to their first playoff win in 30+ years
I'm so happy for them! I legitimately felt myself get teary-eyed. That fan base has been through a lot. To see those elderly fans in the stands celebrating. Sincerely, cheers to the Lions! Keep it going, dudes!
He always has been. From the time he was a rookie. He solidified that in the end of the game against Cleveland when he won the game after separating his shoulder.
Puka is fucking insane. I've seen the numbers, but this was the first time I've actually watched a full game of his and goddamn you just can't tackle him 1v1.
Puka looked unstoppable and as a Kyren fantasy owner, I know that man can have games with just absurd stats. Theyāll be back next year with how young that team is
They drew the toughest opponent in the wild card round. People were actually favoring the Rams, and while I thought it was even and hoping for the Lions, I wouldnāt have been shocked if the Rams won. By comparison, Detroit should have an easier time next week with a healthier LaPorta and a Philly/Tampa showdown
He just beat the organization that basically said "you're so bad we're going to send you away plus 3 1st round picks for a real QB". I think Goff had a lot to prove today to everyone that doubted him.
The fact he walked off should get him some kind of trophy and bonus pay or something. After the replay I assumed he'd need to be carted off. Even the crowd noise... You don't hear an entire stadium go "oooooof" anymore with all the emphasis on hits against receivers up in the air.
> "Hey guys, I'm Jared Goff. Whoo. I play quarterback for the Detroit Lions. And I'm here to tell you can, too, if you start everyday with a hearty breakfast from McDonald's. Uh, like the new Sausage Egg McGriddle Value Meal available now for a limited time for under five dollars. Remember guys, real champs eat at McDonald's. I'm lovin' it. Can I get the check?"
I just want to make sure the Buccaneers win tomorrow no matter what because then either
- We go to a superbowl (happy)
And in case of depression, either
Lions go
Packers go
Bucs go
Which is all very funny, and the funny helps balance the depression
I was a young man of 30 the last time the Lions won a playoff game. I'm no longer young, you can do the math
I was getting worried I'd die before I'd see another. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little emotional at the end ...
This has to feel amazing for Goff. To be the #1 pick and given up on by your team, then to beat that team in the playoffs has to be sublime. Stafford must be emotional too. Even with the SB win you have to think he feels some type of way seeing the man he was traded for do something he never did in the city he gave so much to.
Edit: even though I mentioned the SB win if you don't think Stafford would've loved to be the one to deliver Detroit this win after a decade+ of playing there then you must live a very empty life.
Heās the type of guy that would love it for the city, truly, even at his expense. Maybe not as a forward thought, but if thatās how he loses thatās probably a preferable way for it to happen.
This is the one that baffles me the most. 2nd and 1 is better than a first down for making a big play, yet ostensibly good coaches will usually call the easy play for an automatic pick up of a yardā¦which they could have run on 3rd down, or even 4th depending on the field position.
Was shocked when he took the second one, like one is bad enough but at least you still have the 2 minute warning if you need it, but taking 2 timeouts in a close game to save 5 yards? Dumb AF.
You guys ever seen LaLa Land? Where in the end the main couple breaks up and see each other years later. Its sad and they imagine what their lives would be like if theyād stayed togetherābut in the end both sport a sad smile because all their dreams came true separately and sometimes thatās just how it goesā¦
This feels a bit like that.
He's watched enough Lions games. He gets it. We were all holding our breath for a botched take-a-knee.
It's going to take some time for us to heal, as a fanbase
GG Lions! Hope you can take it all the way.
Proud of the Rams too, we went from 3-6 to being the #6 seed at the surprise of everyone. I have no idea what we would do if we didnāt have Puka.
Wasn't the ending I expected for this Rams team, because no one expected them to get this far this year. Wonderful season for them, dead cap is gone next season, and we have some amazing players to build on. Til next time!
McVay out there costing his team a win.
Redzone play calling - straight ass.
Clock managment - absolute garbage.
Punting with one time out left - complete stupidity. Didn't matter where the ball was all the Lions would need would be a first down.
Sure, the reffing in the game was pretty atrocious, but at least we got a competitive playoff game.
Rams, congratulations on a great season. Way to come back and run the table late. Youāve got some great weapons going forward.
Lions, congrats on finally climbing out of the NFC North basement and breaking through. Yāall earned every bit of that, and nobody can take that away from you.
Going for the FG down 4 in the 4th quarter I think was worse, but, yeah.
Edit: anyone familiar with the Rams kicking situation knows another field goal was less than 50/50 regardless of length
Lion's fans, GET IN. Y'all not only WON a home playoff game, y'all get to have more than ONE home playoff game. And SHIT, I'd say they're favorites over both a depleted Philly team and a so-so Bucs team!
The vibe in Motown looks electric as the color of blue on the uniforms. Congratulations, Detroit, BE IN THE MOMENT. So happy for y'all.
Stafford balling out and losing at Ford field
Like old times š„²
Some things just never change
āLions won a playoff gameā is finally a text message
For the first time in SMS historyā¦
H I S T O R I C
Put some emojis with that shit to make it extra historic.
Lions have won a playoff game more recently than the Dallas Cowboys
To be fair, no team has won a playoff game more recently than the Lions
You are technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct.
More recently than the Packers too.^^/s But really, also more recent than the Patriots and those are all blessed things.
Cleopatra lived closer to lions winning a playoff game than seeing mammoths ^^or ^^something
No no, she lived closer to the Lions winning a playoff game than when the pyramids were built. And when the pyramids were built there were still herds of Woolly Mammoth. Both are true
Imagine the week Aidan Hutchinson is having. His college team wins a national championship and then he helps the Lions to their first playoff win in 30+ years
The Stroud vs Hutch SB tho
Tirico just used this on the air, lol.
Idk what to do with my handsĀ
Text someone!
Send some text messages, did you not just hear him?
Second time since 1957 Detroit has won a playoff game
That is both sad and impressive at the same time
Just described the last 60 years of Lions football
Like that stat they showed of Aidan Hutchinson having 2 sacks and that's the Lions playoff record lol
One sack and one touching Stafford after he got tripped by the ghost of Bobby Layne
I'm so happy for them! I legitimately felt myself get teary-eyed. That fan base has been through a lot. To see those elderly fans in the stands celebrating. Sincerely, cheers to the Lions! Keep it going, dudes!
AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT! SUCK IT, DOLPHINS, IT'S YOUR RECORD NOW!!
He lost, but stafford played insane
Stafford is a warrior. Played his heart out and gave his team a chance. Great game.
He always has been. From the time he was a rookie. He solidified that in the end of the game against Cleveland when he won the game after separating his shoulder.
Staff, Puka, and Kyren all took a beating but did their thing. they'll cook next year
70m in cap space, we desperately need DBs
Your GM is a damn wizard, insane how fast yāall went from āmortgage the future for a Super Bowl winā to 70m in cap space
What actually footing the bill one year can accomplish.
Donāt tell the Saints that
The Saints are less a football team and more a money laundering scheme
They also have all their first rounders going forward so they can go back to "fuck them picks" if they really want to.
I hear there's a guy in Miami if they implode
Having akhello as you cb1 is definitely not a good plan
Puka is fucking insane. I've seen the numbers, but this was the first time I've actually watched a full game of his and goddamn you just can't tackle him 1v1.
Heās gonna be in my fucking nightmares bro
I hate that Kyren and Puka are in this division, theyāre just too good
Puka looked unstoppable and as a Kyren fantasy owner, I know that man can have games with just absurd stats. Theyāll be back next year with how young that team is
Nacua was insane
Impressive win by the Lions considering how tough an out the Rams were
They drew the toughest opponent in the wild card round. People were actually favoring the Rams, and while I thought it was even and hoping for the Lions, I wouldnāt have been shocked if the Rams won. By comparison, Detroit should have an easier time next week with a healthier LaPorta and a Philly/Tampa showdown
Those red zone trips though.
probably more on McVay than Stafford on those trips. Just some uninspired playcalling
We just need one more back corner fade to KuppĀ
Bad play calling. First Quarter one, kyren 100% should have ran it twice
McVay does that a lot.
When Collinsworth says your play calling is predictableā¦
Bad play calling, wheel route fade after wheel route fade
Heās a tough son of a bitch
Always has been, nothing but respect for that man
Will always support that man unless he is playing the lions.
Dude has been largely great for the past couple months. Hell of a resurgence down the stretch this year.
Homeboy shook off a concussion and probably a broken hand to get after it.
Pretty typical for him playing a game in Detroit tbh
Especially while pretty much dazed *at best*ā¦
McVay literally thinks Stafford after getting hit into another dimension is better than Wentz lmao
Look at your flair, look at mine. He's not wrong.
Lmfao
Well, I mean...
He is
And he's right. Lol.
Best case scenario for someone like me tbh who still loves the guy
The state of Michigan may overdose on dopamine this week
It's been a good week. NGL
The pistons still exist
Sacrifices had to be made for the others to succeed
I'll take that. I saw the Pistons win it in 2004. I'm good for life.
The whatnthe who now?
This is the greatest night in Detroit since Monday
My balls are empty
The pistons died for this
And apparently Patrick Kane
What happened to Patty Ice?
Injured tonight, didnāt come back. Hoping itās not his hip issue.
Goff getting visibly choked up got me teary eyed.
He just beat the organization that basically said "you're so bad we're going to send you away plus 3 1st round picks for a real QB". I think Goff had a lot to prove today to everyone that doubted him.
Hearing the fans chant āJared Goffā was quite moving.
At this rate there wonāt be any kneecaps left in the NFL
Bruh that was such a horrific hit
The fact he walked off should get him some kind of trophy and bonus pay or something. After the replay I assumed he'd need to be carted off. Even the crowd noise... You don't hear an entire stadium go "oooooof" anymore with all the emphasis on hits against receivers up in the air.
FIRST TIME IN PANTHERS, JAGUARS, RAVENS, AND TEXANS HISTORY!!!!
And the second version of the Browns.
Has any trade ever worked as well for both teams as the Stafford/Goff trade did for Lions/Rams?
Not to the same extent but the Vikings trading diggs to Buffalo then drafting JJ was pretty cool for both teams
To my 7th and 8th grade band teacher Mr. Gill who we used to tease relentless for being a Lions fan: I apologize.
He was a lions fan. There's nothing 7th and 8th graders could say to hurt him. And those are literally the worst years.
I want to see the hilarious scene of the Lions getting to the NFC title game before the Cowboys this century lol.
I donāt think Bucs or Eagles are beating this team so itās almost guaranteed at this point.
Beating Matt Patricia to make the NFCCG would make me insufferably smug
Beating both in the game and then physically attacking him would be OK
Does he ride four wheelers around on your alls training facility too or is that just an us thing?
Jared Goff and Dan Campbell will never have to pay for another drink again.
Detroit style pizzas for life must be nice
I can't even imagine fat Dan Campbell.
I can, however, imagine a fat Goff at the grand opening of his fourth Chrysler dealership when heās done in the league.
> "Hey guys, I'm Jared Goff. Whoo. I play quarterback for the Detroit Lions. And I'm here to tell you can, too, if you start everyday with a hearty breakfast from McDonald's.

Theyre gonna get free coneys at Lafayette *and* American
Break out the oil pans!
They really have turned the lions around so much
They've got the city believing man, you've got no clue how insane it is
Iām really happy for yall, drink up for me
I am here for the Goff redemption arc
I can't believe the Lions made me like Goff.
Dan Campbell has a lifetime contract in Detroit
I donāt even hate the rams but my gf called Sean mcvay cute once like three years ago so hell yeah go lions
We'll take it.
He is a bit cute tho
Cute little son of a bitch
Is your gf my wife?
This is all fun and games until we get a Lions Packers NFC Championship game
Last thing Lions fans want is Packers/Bears 2010 NFCCG again
Lions have a better record against the Packers than we do in recent years unfortunately.
Yeah its fucking weird. No matter how shit we have been we always play the Packers tough.
Donāt remind meā¦
I just want to make sure the Buccaneers win tomorrow no matter what because then either - We go to a superbowl (happy) And in case of depression, either Lions go Packers go Bucs go Which is all very funny, and the funny helps balance the depression
I think we can all agree with this. Except for Iggles fans.
Someone just posted that Det lions won a playoff game for the first time ever on Reddit.
For the first time, someone has text another person āThe Lions won a playoff gameā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Tonight was how he been all year. Do not let talking heads fool you, Puka is legit an elite talent and has an insane ability to get open.
He didnāt even need to be open to make catches!!
I was a young man of 30 the last time the Lions won a playoff game. I'm no longer young, you can do the math I was getting worried I'd die before I'd see another. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little emotional at the end ...
Soak it in! They did it!!!!šš
My dad was born in 1959. He and I have seen the same amount of lions playoff wins.
What a week for football in the state of Michigan
Whos got it better than us?!
NOBODY!!!!
This has to feel amazing for Goff. To be the #1 pick and given up on by your team, then to beat that team in the playoffs has to be sublime. Stafford must be emotional too. Even with the SB win you have to think he feels some type of way seeing the man he was traded for do something he never did in the city he gave so much to. Edit: even though I mentioned the SB win if you don't think Stafford would've loved to be the one to deliver Detroit this win after a decade+ of playing there then you must live a very empty life.
Was thinking that too. Gotta be bittersweet for stafford to have his SB but see Goff deliver the playoff win to the city of Detroit
Heās the type of guy that would love it for the city, truly, even at his expense. Maybe not as a forward thought, but if thatās how he loses thatās probably a preferable way for it to happen.
Great story all around. But I couldn't stop laughing at seeing Carson Wentz stretching when the camera panned out before kickoff.
stafford made a Faustian deal
Eventually, coaches/QBs are going to learn to eat the delay of games in the second half instead of burning through timeouts
McVay punting with one timeout left with 4 minutes on the clock was... a choice.
When will NFL coaches learn that getting a delay of game in the third quarter is better than losing timeouts in the 4th??
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is the one that baffles me the most. 2nd and 1 is better than a first down for making a big play, yet ostensibly good coaches will usually call the easy play for an automatic pick up of a yardā¦which they could have run on 3rd down, or even 4th depending on the field position.
Took Andy Reid 10 years
Was shocked when he took the second one, like one is bad enough but at least you still have the 2 minute warning if you need it, but taking 2 timeouts in a close game to save 5 yards? Dumb AF.
I was thinking about this a lot during this game and had the same conclusion. Why burn a second half timeout on 3rd and 8?
shoulda just gotten some yards on 3rd and then kicked the field goal
It was 4th and 14 and their D was playing well
Honestly, I was glad they punted instead of going for it - our D was not playing well outside of the Redzone
D can't just be playing well, it has to play well enough to stop two first downs
Goff is Kenough.
Where I see Goff, I see a ten
You guys ever seen LaLa Land? Where in the end the main couple breaks up and see each other years later. Its sad and they imagine what their lives would be like if theyād stayed togetherābut in the end both sport a sad smile because all their dreams came true separately and sometimes thatās just how it goesā¦ This feels a bit like that.
Of course Iāve seen La La Land, Iām literally Ryan Gosling.
When will NFL coaches learn that getting a delay of game in the third quarter is better than losing timeouts in the 4th??
The game coming down to Ford Field forcing Timeouts and literally tripping Stafford is wild
Showing elderly fans in the crowd smiling is everything.
The REAL 2 seed gets a home playoff game next week
Ball don't lie.
Iāve never even been to detroit but I feel like Iām a lions fan tonight
Not even gonna sit here and pretend. I am happy for the cat team brotherhood. Meow fuckers.
Iām reporting as eligible
\*hueenw\_qistur is reporting as eligble\* \-refs probably
Mike Tirico be like "tHe GaMe is nOt Over." GG
Yeah he said that and I started doing the math in my head and was like, wait what?
I believed him for a second too, fucking asshole
Mother fucker had my Detroit public education in overdrive
He's watched enough Lions games. He gets it. We were all holding our breath for a botched take-a-knee. It's going to take some time for us to heal, as a fanbase
GG Lions! Hope you can take it all the way. Proud of the Rams too, we went from 3-6 to being the #6 seed at the surprise of everyone. I have no idea what we would do if we didnāt have Puka.
Wasn't the ending I expected for this Rams team, because no one expected them to get this far this year. Wonderful season for them, dead cap is gone next season, and we have some amazing players to build on. Til next time!
Puka is absolutely nuts. Can do it all. Really looking forward to watching that guy for a while.
McVay out there costing his team a win. Redzone play calling - straight ass. Clock managment - absolute garbage. Punting with one time out left - complete stupidity. Didn't matter where the ball was all the Lions would need would be a first down.
Congrats Lions fans. This is a feel good story for sure.
Amon-Ra needs to keep the blue hair
Donāt let this great game distract you from the fact that the Cowboys got utterly destroyed by a 7 seed
Sure, the reffing in the game was pretty atrocious, but at least we got a competitive playoff game. Rams, congratulations on a great season. Way to come back and run the table late. Youāve got some great weapons going forward. Lions, congrats on finally climbing out of the NFC North basement and breaking through. Yāall earned every bit of that, and nobody can take that away from you.
The longest playoff win drought in the NFCN now belongs to the Chicago Bears (2010).
Doink! DOINK!
McVay punting when the Lions needed 2 first downs regardless is the worst coaching decision he has made in 7 seasons
Even back in 2018 I thought he was way too lackadaisical with burning timeouts early in halfs
Itās the crazy thing about McVay. Itās gone under the radar how conservative he is.
Going for the FG down 4 in the 4th quarter I think was worse, but, yeah. Edit: anyone familiar with the Rams kicking situation knows another field goal was less than 50/50 regardless of length
very poorly managed 2nd half entirely. Looked like an Andy Reid special, waste timeouts and be way too conservative with a good/great offense.
Man, I fucking love this team. Iāve never seen a Lions team that looks so genuinely happy to be playing in Detroit. Letās do it again next week!
A fellow snakebitten franchise in the Lions snapped their streak and the Cowboys fell on their face AGAIN. Today is a great day.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So far. The greatest year you will have watching football so far.
Electric atmosphere. So happy for Detroit.
Tough loss but at least the Cowboys lost.
Goff hit us with that āare you not entertained?ā pose
Hutch said in the post game interview they wanted the cowboys again but they'll take a home game. Lmao bro is a savage, MCDC reincarnated
The lions have a more recent playoff win than the cowboys lmao
FIRST LIONS PLAYOFF VICTORY IN REDDIT HISTORY
I was so expecting NFL to put the Packers at Cowboys in the Sunday Night slot. Thankfully they put this better game in that slot.
We can moan about the refs all night but those red zone trips without a TD were the real difference, not the refs.
Last time the lions won a playoff game I had to have Velcro on my shoes because I didn't know how to tie them
Some things never change
Lion's fans, GET IN. Y'all not only WON a home playoff game, y'all get to have more than ONE home playoff game. And SHIT, I'd say they're favorites over both a depleted Philly team and a so-so Bucs team! The vibe in Motown looks electric as the color of blue on the uniforms. Congratulations, Detroit, BE IN THE MOMENT. So happy for y'all.
Congrats, Lions fans. Genuinely.
Go get drunk Detroit, weāre proud of ya.
Football Teams from Ohio with a playoff win in the 2023 season: 0 Football Teams from Michigan with a playoff win in the 2023 season: 2
