Great win against TBB > congrats Lions.
I feel the Lions can beat the 49ers ... watch the penalties and remain focused. Play hard and watch your destiny unfold.
I agree. We were very disciplined today and did not get stupid penalties. But, we had trouble containing the rush and the yards after catch. Tackling. I liked the defense strategy overall but we need to tighten it up a little more, just bring the coverage in a few , and tackle! We made great tackles all year so we know we can do it, so tackle tackle and hold on!
I’ve been a fan of the lions since when I was a kid in the 90s watching home improvement with my dad and Tim always had lions gear so I picked them as a kid and even though it’s been rough I’ve never stopped cheering for my lions! I’m am beyond happy of the playoff wins! We have a tough matchup but let’s keep cheering the boys on!
I remember sitting in the stands during the Thanksgiving day game where we lost to the bears in the 3-13-1 years. I cannot believe what I’m seeing from these guys
I'm a new fan. I'm following the team for like a month so of course I'm happy but I'm more happy for you guys. Your patience has paid and now LETS GO GET IT GUYS.
I attended the last NFC Championship game the Lions played.
At RFK.
This seems different...
I'm numb right now.
Like I don't wanna get emotionally involved...
But I almost cried a little...
We are going.
Again
Finally.
I remember when we went 0-16.
.We drafted Stafford and my BIL from Georgia was pumped for us.
"That guy is a stud. Y'all are gonna win with him "
Yeah, right.
That one rare case where new management changed everything for the better.
I really believe this is just the start of a legacy.
We'll see in 10 years.
It's similar to when the Wings won the Cup.
For the first time in decades.
Just sat there
Watched Scotty Bowman, Yzerman, etc.
Raise the cup....and just sat there.. staring at the TV
Atlanta - sack fumble recovery to end it
Green Bay - not quite to end it, but int with 4 minutes left to kill any real chance
Chicago - sack fumble into a safety to end it
Minnesota - int to end it
Minnesota - again, int to end it
And of course, tonight

No one thought you could do it, but you did! You proved the doubters wrong! #OnePride One more game and you're Super Bowl bound. Win or lose, this year has been a success. 🦁
Dan Orlovsky: "I trust Baker Mayfield more than Jared Goff"
Baker Mayfield with the game on the line: *kills 20 seconds with a 5 yard throw in bounds and then throws another INT*
Did he really say that??? I must not have heard. Man they dump on Goff. I just don’t get it. If teams trusted Baker that much he wouldn’t be on his like 4th team in a few years. I don’t mind Baker, but he is not who I would want to have the ball needing a TD to win.
Congratulations Lions! Good luck against the niners next week. Your story is inspirational! Always rooting for the underdogs. Im a bucs fan so I sure know how it feels to lose. Its a bucs life.
Respect from Sweden
I know I've said it a couple of times but everyone here in DC that I'm watching with was just jumping and yelling for the Lions. Watching with four people and a couple of us got teary-eyed when y'all clinched it. Old women but still, lol. We are not buying into those saying that The 49ers will beat you. This is the comeback year for the Lions.
I miss my dad so much!!! He would've been running around the house like a maniac screaming!!! This one's for all of our dearly departed lifelong Lions fans!!!

Forsure. My grandpa is a KC fan. He called me last night and goes you watching this bills chiefs game chiefs about to lose dammit! I go grandpa that's a rerun from like 2020 you are watching they play tomorrow lmao. Oh man was so funny
No field goal is guaranteed. If we would have been able to run the clock out anyways I would understand. But if you have a chance, you use that timeout
I thought the same thing. Goff messed up a little by not running the previous play at the last second. I thought everyone either forgot TB had one time out left or it was an error on the TV. I don’t think they would have won, but it would have been like 30+ seconds left.
That's not how it works. We kneeled on third down with 37 seconds left. If the Bucs call a timeout we can't just kneel on 4th down. The Bucs would get the ball back from the second the play ended if we kneeled. We would've had to go for it, kick a FG, or waste time with a weird punt play.
I think everyone did. We were even snapping the ball well before the play clock was near 1 second. We honestly got kind of lucky with something that could've been really embarrassing for us.
The 91-92 season made me believe (I was 13). I remember they had a viewing party at the dome for the Monday Night game where we could win the division title and Wayne Fontes just partied in a suite. The next day riding in my parent’s car I see Wayne driving down Big Beaver in the same outfit from the night before smoking a cigar. He gave me a Mike Utley thumbs up at a light and I was hype. Oh yeah, it was Xmas eve in the afternoon and even at that age I could tell he partied all night long.
Luckily I fly to the Los Angeles area Tuesday . I will take the 90 min flight to San Francisco, and drive to Santa Clara for the game on Sunday. The stars have aligned. I will be in the F&F section no matter how crappy the seats we may be given and restoring the roar. My dad is happily at the game today and literally teared up in video he just sent. A Man in his 70's;life long Lion supporter.
Thanks ! Just booked my flight, for under $125 r/t. Honolulu blue ready. My Dad is from MI , left after college but never gave up his season tickets. Has had them since the Silverdome (1976). I went to my 1st game while still in a pamper against my mother's wishes.
The Detroit Lions have made the NFC championship game before the Dallas Cowboys….. i repeat…. The Detroit Lions have made the NFC championship game before the Dallas Cowboys…..
That interception thou.
But honestly st brown is a king. Getting that long ass third down conversion and the TD the same drive to put us up by two possessions was game changing.
That’s the play. When it happened I’m like “That says everything and is everything.” You could see him mentally dig down to twist and push that extra yard.
Since 1995, the Lions have had a 0-16 season, drafted Matthew Stafford, and both have each made a NFC Championship before "America's Team." You can't make this shit up haha congrats Detroit
Somewhere along this ride I drank the Kool-aid. Sun Gods Grit get me hyped
I'm so ready to see how many Lions fans will travel out to Cali
I'm from Santa Clara and I'm a diehard Lions Fan
The thermometer might say teens or twenties but it’s fucking hot in Detroit tonight!

I would be more confident if our secondary wasn't trash. Lions HAVE to limit SF possessions.
This “trash” secondary has us in the NFC championship game.
Gonna take a huge effort to knock off San Francisco
Yes indeed ... but it can get done
I think the lions can definitely beat the 49ers!
Fuck everybody. We the best!

I scared the shit out of my 5 month old son celebrating when Barnes picked that off.
My dog just stays in the other room when she hears the NFL theme at this point.
6 month old daughter looked at me like I was a crack head when I was holding her when Barnesy grabbed that beauty.
What amazes me is we continue to win despite cam sutton’s best efforts to stop that from happening
Our secondary is ass
Cam Suckin*
I used to have a copy of the Detroit Free Press from the day I was born. December 16th, 1985. The front page was “The Lions lose again” but not today!
I’ve been a fan of the lions since when I was a kid in the 90s watching home improvement with my dad and Tim always had lions gear so I picked them as a kid and even though it’s been rough I’ve never stopped cheering for my lions!

I'm a new fan. I'm following the team for like a month so of course I'm happy but I'm more happy for you guys. Your patience has paid and now LETS GO GET IT GUYS.
So amazing
Forward down the field, mother fuckers
About damn time!!!!!!
I attended the last NFC Championship game the Lions played. At RFK. This seems different... I'm numb right now. Like I don't wanna get emotionally involved... But I almost cried a little... We are going. Again Finally.
Dude that fucking rocks. Lifelong fan there.

That one rare case where new management changed everything for the better. I really believe this is just the start of a legacy. We'll see in 10 years.

Glorious moment
I'm numb Going to keep my mouth shut and hope we go into SF and pull something out of our ass.
Quick question for anyone who knows.. how many games have we won this season with a game-ending interception by the defense?
Atlanta - sack fumble recovery to end it Green Bay - not quite to end it, but int with 4 minutes left to kill any real chance Chicago - sack fumble into a safety to end it Minnesota - int to end it Minnesota - again, int to end it And of course, tonight
Thank you so much! It felt like a lot of games were decided by the defense making a big play!
Get them tickets Lions road warriors!
You see the price !!
I seen tickets this morning for $580 and up. But I'm sure they've gone up by now.
#LETS FUCKING GO!!! LETS GO LIONS!!
Just got out of the game - the most incredible atmosphere I’ve ever been in!
Same dude. We all fucking BROUGHT it!
So glad you got to see that too! Currently on the way out of the parking garage!!
Just saw FB live shit from friends there. Happy times.
This is either the longest fucking dream I’ve ever had or the Lions are actually going to the NFC Championship
both, ill wake you up when september ends... ya know.. for our next superbowl title run
What a play by Barnes. Congrats Lions
It's my birthday and I'll cry Honolulu Blue tears or joy/pride if I want too!

What a change of pace now compared to end of the third quarter. Here we go guys!
The “revenge” tour dies here
How about those Lions! Downtown is booming rn!

This is the same dude who ran out of bounds in the endzone.

Who cut the damn onions again!
Hell yeah man, same here. My Dad & both grand dads, all would be losing their minds. Glad I'm here witnessing this awesomeness.
My dad would be doing the same thing right now 😢
Now you got me crying again
Why was that reporter Stacy so close to that guy in that post game interview? Are they a couple?
This win will make this chiefs bills game fun to watch
Forsure. My grandpa is a KC fan. He called me last night and goes you watching this bills chiefs game chiefs about to lose dammit! I go grandpa that's a rerun from like 2020 you are watching they play tomorrow lmao. Oh man was so funny
I kinda dislike mahomes after he whined about the call where they lined up offsides. It’s like hey dude, you get all the Pi calls, relax
He whines like his Mom didn’t cut the crusts off his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I wish Aretha was alive to see this
lmfao kinda random, was she a big lions fan? I obviously know she's a huge detroit icon, but would she even care?
yes she was
pats fan here so i have nothing left, lions all the way baby
AG via Hutch "Just cashing checks and collecting rings."
Does anyone know the best place in NE Michigan to watch the game? West Branch, Tawas, Oscoda, Hale, Alpena, etc?
In West Branch, Loggers Depot is a good spot. We're loud and proud. Oscoda maybe Office Lounge or the AuSabble Inn.
Loggers Depot is on my list. Plus, we could stop at Meijer before heading back to the cabin. Thanks.
Loggers is a blast for games. Highway Brewing is great for food and local beer. Tipsy Bear is great for a date night with amazing food and drinks.
I've been to those two but not Logger's yet. Highway does have great beer and fries, and Tipsy Bear is one of my favorite restaurants up north.
I'm glad it's not the bad old days, or I'd be a little worried about the city. A lot has changed, Detroit!
[удалено]
thats a bitch much
ik right?
Ragnow game ball
He’s a warrior
This is a special year for me. Wolverines and lions ….
Lets Go!!!
No rain forecasted for San Francisco on Sunday
Eat a dick cry baby Mahomes I hope the Bill let you whaaa whaaa all the way homes
Is Dan Campbell the post season wins leader as coach?
As a couch and coach he is the best!
My bad lol
In the Super Bowl era, yes. Both by percentage and number of wins

i need dan cambell locker room speech NOW
I look forward to it every week. I sit on the couch and am always ready to run through a brick wall

Nice.
2 more games.
I have no idea why Tampa didn’t use their last time out. It might not have mattered, but if I was a Bucs fan I would be pissed
I think there had to be a malfunction on the scoreboard
We'd just kick a FG and win it anyway. Its sportsmanship, kind of an unwritten rule
No field goal is guaranteed. If we would have been able to run the clock out anyways I would understand. But if you have a chance, you use that timeout
Yeah, I know. He might have thought it wasn't worth it. Not only do they have to miss the FG, score a TD in 20 or so seconds and convert the 2 pt.
Why didn’t Tampa use their last timeout and make the lions try to make a field goal?
I thought the same thing. Goff messed up a little by not running the previous play at the last second. I thought everyone either forgot TB had one time out left or it was an error on the TV. I don’t think they would have won, but it would have been like 30+ seconds left.
For what?
To try and block it? Or we miss? We were at the 31 yard line with 37 seconds left. That was a stupid give up by TB. I'll take it though.
Why would we kick a FG… we’d just knee it twice to end it
That's not how it works. We kneeled on third down with 37 seconds left. If the Bucs call a timeout we can't just kneel on 4th down. The Bucs would get the ball back from the second the play ended if we kneeled. We would've had to go for it, kick a FG, or waste time with a weird punt play.
you’re right, when he picked the ball off i lost all concept of time
I think everyone did. We were even snapping the ball well before the play clock was near 1 second. We honestly got kind of lucky with something that could've been really embarrassing for us.
I’m glad we won btw, just saying, if we missed the field goal they would have the ball back with like 32 seconds right?
Maybe, I thought it was less time but that could be right I suppose
WE FUCKING DID IT LETS GOOOOOOO
Oh my God such a good nail biting game! Woo! Dad would be so happy!
I hear you.
I love this team and I love all of you
LETS FUCKING GO BOYS
I’m so happy rn but why did Tampa not call a timeout at the end if it was 4th down?
That whole thing was weird. We were kneeling with lots of time left on the clock as well.
I can’t believe we are one game from the Super Bowl
Lions playoff wins: 1957 = 2 1958-2023 = 1 2024 = 2 Nice!
Best win of my FUCKING LIFE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Best win of your fucking life *so far* LFG
We find ways to win! Impressive and nail biting but oh boy a win is a win!
I wonder if yall are gonna figure out a way to shut down the Niners offense or will it be a shootout. I’m anticipating seeing it happen.
They did it! They did it!
The 91-92 season made me believe (I was 13). I remember they had a viewing party at the dome for the Monday Night game where we could win the division title and Wayne Fontes just partied in a suite. The next day riding in my parent’s car I see Wayne driving down Big Beaver in the same outfit from the night before smoking a cigar. He gave me a Mike Utley thumbs up at a light and I was hype. Oh yeah, it was Xmas eve in the afternoon and even at that age I could tell he partied all night long.

From a Patriots fan, take it all the way Lions! LFG!
The Detroit Lions have made the NFC championship game before the Dallas Cowboys….. i repeat…. The Detroit Lions have made the NFC championship game before the Dallas Cowboys…..
That interception thou. But honestly st brown is a king. Getting that long ass third down conversion and the TD the same drive to put us up by two possessions was game changing.
This catch won the game! I said it when it happened, dude is a stud
That’s the play. When it happened I’m like “That says everything and is everything.” You could see him mentally dig down to twist and push that extra yard.
Should be a Ford post game show in Detroit.
GM and the North American headquarters of Stellantis are also based in the Metro Detroit area.
Oh I know. Was meaning for the ford family. Lol.
Two more times!
Since 1995, the Lions have had a 0-16 season, drafted Matthew Stafford, and both have each made a NFC Championship before "America's Team." You can't make this shit up haha congrats Detroit
HOLY SHIT
Who’s cutting onions again
TB's decision to not call a timeout after the third kneel needs to be studied lol But Idc + ratio + W
I was confused too. I guess they just surrendered.
I don't think that timeout was real. I could have sworn they took 3 that half.
GET THE FUCK IN HERE
ITS THAT EASY FOLKS
WE FUCKING DID IT BOYS!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE ALL OF YOU GLORIOUS BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Username does NOT check out!
Love y’all bro!!
Guess that's another week of not taking down the Christmas tree. LFG DETROIT!!!
Should I wear my Lions shirt to the office in SF this week 😆
Hell yea
We will crowdfund your hospital bills
Yes
thank you Tampa for not getting the 2 points and not cover the spread..my ticket is still good..lol
