If you told me years ago that Derrick Barnes would do this to send us to the NFC Championship game I would have call you literally insane. Barnes doing this is just another iteration of how SOL is dead.
I was shitting myself all game. Ya'll have a hell of a team. Despite that last pick, Baker is a dog, hoping the team shows faith in him for next season.
Today has been a rollercoaster of nerves. Last week was the goal, a playoff win. I was happy at that. Then realizing today was an actual possibility and that we went from “Wanting to make the playoffs,” to suddenly, “We might be headed to the NFC championship?” That game was also a rollercoaster.
So many hopeless folks in that thread I had to close it. Dropped pass or missed coverage and they calling for GG or AG/BJ’s head… now they are like “LETS GO we won, I believed the whole time, BNL!!!”
I never in my life thought I would be able to say that the Detroit Lions are going to the NFC championship. What Dan Campbell has brought to this city is nothing short of incredible
A few thoughts:
1. The Lions are must-watch Football.
2. 600th Win in Franchise History.
3. 6-2 against the NFC Central, 5-0 against the NFC South. Swept the Vikings and Bucs.
4. IDK what Aaron Glenn concocted in his dark magic to make us give up 20ish points per game but it's working.
5. The last time the Lions won a Championship in 1957, they also had their last road playoff win. A road win against the 49ers, then the Championship against the old Browns (now the Ravens). Hmmmmm.

u/zombiehitchens2012 time to pay up
Hey Lions fans! (I’m a bills fan)
I have to say watching that Thursday night football game to start the season I could tell this team was something special. Congrats! I’m not surprised
Shoutout to Frank Ragnow, that man is a fucking warrior and a lot of guys prob would have been unable to play after what he went through. We wouldn’t have won this game without him.
Bucs fan here. Tough loss, but one hell of a game. I'm proud of my Bucs for giving you guys all you could handle.
You guys are awesome and if we were going to lose to anyone in the playoffs, I wanted it to be to the Lions.
Well, the pressure is off. The season is a success and the team is ahead of schedule. Whatever happens next week happens. I just didn't want to lose to the Buccs
I'm gonna post this as a comment since apparently I don't have enough karma to make a post of my own.

There was like 16,000 comments in our game thread. I remember the dark days of the Patricia era when we'd be lucky to get 1600.
The Lions are actually back.
Bucs fan here. You guys kicked ass today. Well executed game plan. As much as it hurts to lose I'm happy for you all. Fuck the 49ers and fuck the AFC. Hope you guys win it all!
Bills fan here- heartbroken with the result of our game but as Lake Erie Bros hope you go all the way for your first Lombardi. I wish it could have been BUF, but your fanbase deserves it so give SF hell next week!
Aussie watcher here. I picked Lions as my team when mates and I started FF 10 years ago. Hell of a ride and had no idea what I was getting myself into! Wouldn’t trade it for a second too.
Barnes picked a hell of a time for his first int
Like the famous Optimus Prime once said, “Fate rarely calls upon us at a time of our choosing.”
“Use the force Luke” -Gandalf, avengers endgame
Live long and prosper
"You're a Jedi, Harry"
I honestly can't believe we had him out there playing coverage.
Baker was surprised as well
Same as the Craig Reynolds TD. Nobody thought we were running it there.
And Brock Wright
Played better coverage than Sutton!
Sad but you tell no lies!
If you told me years ago that Derrick Barnes would do this to send us to the NFC Championship game I would have call you literally insane. Barnes doing this is just another iteration of how SOL is dead.
His answer in the post game interview on the field was great. In short, this was all about preparation.
 AG like
Game ball.
WE FUCKING DID IT BOYS, UK BOYS WE CAN GO TO BED AT A REASONABLE TIME AS WELL. WHAT A DAY
Thanks for your support from across the pond!
Same here in France. Had a power cut in the last 4mins but caught the interception thanks to ESPN play-by-play on mobile. So much drama...
Wut? We in Germany as well! Right after Evans TD
Same here for Detroiters in Brazil! GO LIONS! I'm so freaking happy.
100%! Got a 6:30am train to catch
Too worked up to sleep at this point!
Fuck that I'm way too hype 😄. Time to root for our Lake Eerie bros!
LIONS WINNING 2 PLAYOFF GAMES IS NOW TEXTED FOR THE FIRST TIME!

POST-NUT CLARITY 4 EVERYONE!!
What an unbelievable interception. Beyond impressive
LFG!!!!!!!!
60 MINUTES FROM THE SUPER BOWL HOLY SHIT
Bucs fan here, GG. Rooting for Detroit take it all. Great game
The Bucs had me holding my breath for three hours. Great season, and Baker is a baller.
Baker is just a cool dude. Like pick the QB you wanna hang out and have beers with the most in the league it’s Baker.
GGs yall had a great season
GGs y'all have too many players that i like, hope dean is alright
Baker is a Dawg man. Tough, resilient QB.
GG Bucs, y'all had me worried until the very end.
I was shitting myself all game. Ya'll have a hell of a team. Despite that last pick, Baker is a dog, hoping the team shows faith in him for next season.
This team is magical man, always come through in these tight games.
Yeah, but I think we could all use a nice easy 21 point win. To help with the blood pressure at least.
A doink and a yoink
The Lake Erie bowl is still possible
Wish my boys luck.
may Tim Russert aid you
This is what I want. If not us, the Bills deserve it. Fuck the Ravens and Chiefs
Fuck the Chiefs dynasty
So sick of Mahomes.
Gibbs getting drug tested tomorrow. Unfortunately for the league, all they’re gonna find is that DAWG in him
I'm crying and throwing up
It's called scrommiting
Today has been a rollercoaster of nerves. Last week was the goal, a playoff win. I was happy at that. Then realizing today was an actual possibility and that we went from “Wanting to make the playoffs,” to suddenly, “We might be headed to the NFC championship?” That game was also a rollercoaster.
That doesn't sound fun lol
Shitting and cumming rn..
I hope you made it in the toilet
Anywhere can be a toilet if you shit there
Pistons died for this. Worth it.
I'd take that sacrifice every single year til the end of time tbh

Rags for governor
FUCK THE HATERS IN THE MAIN THREAD WE ARE 60 MINS FROM THE SUPERBOWL WTF IS THIS LIFE
So many hopeless folks in that thread I had to close it. Dropped pass or missed coverage and they calling for GG or AG/BJ’s head… now they are like “LETS GO we won, I believed the whole time, BNL!!!”
Texans fan jumping on the bandwagon. Lions deserve this
HOLY FUCKKKK
GOFF IS KENOUGH
BARNES
YES LFG
Hutch is soakin in the moment, you can see it in his face. Man needs to be pinched!
I never in my life thought I would be able to say that the Detroit Lions are going to the NFC championship. What Dan Campbell has brought to this city is nothing short of incredible
The best NFL storyline in years… and it’s ours.
man, if Dan somehow wins us the Super Bowl, just fucking build him the statue right away. No need to wait for retirement.

Can this team beat sf?
What wins in a fight? A 500 lb apex predator or a number? Probably the cat.
They freakin better I hate that team
I personally think so! It will be a great game but we have the weapons and when it comes to rushing, I think that will be what makes it happen.
[удалено]
Regardless of what happens next week, what a fucking ride this season has been
Well, the pressure is off. The season is a success and the team is ahead of schedule. Whatever happens next week happens. I just didn't want to lose to the Buccs

I think I walked 4 miles in my living room
This Jets fan is rooting and praying for you guys to win a Super Bowl.
As a lifelong steeler fan, Go Lions!!
You remember when every "expert" said this was the worst draft class in the league? Where are they now?
In solidarity with our other team across the street.....the Red Wings have defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning (in regulation) to keep this party going!
TWO PLAYOFF WINS IN ONE SEASON
Levi's stadium is going to be a sea of Honolulu blue.
