That's honestly the way I hope this works out. We beat them first game of the season. To beat them in the Super Bowl would be the perfect fairytale ending to this season.
Bay City Michigan here. Detroit Lions and the FANS are ONE. More so than any other team and City. We are on that field WITH them, and they are IN the stands, living rooms across this great state of MICHIGAN with us. I was born in 1977, and EVERY CITY IN THIS STATE, is buzzing with a precedence not witnessed before. Honolulu Blue is clearly the best looking blue in ALL SPORTS WORLDWIDE. We will be hoisting that trophy, this year. RRRROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR 🦁
I feel like that Gibby touchdown with the wicked straight arm was a pivotal point in that game as far as the momentum and the Lions morale in the second half. I'm looking forward to seeing Zack Ertz play in the Championship game. One Pride
That drive was all Gibbs outside of one play to Reynolds. I liked Gibbs before, but him throwing down an All-Pro safety in Winfield to finish that TD was just huge. Now i absolutely love that kid and i believe he's everything they've been saying he is.
This is my favorite local Lions podcast. Jon and TJ have great insights without the shtick and drama from the other shows. I enjoyed their breakdown of Ragnow, Glasgow and Sewell. St. Brown is still my favorite Lion but Ragnow is a close second. His absences during the year were keenly felt. Glasgow did a good job at center but our reserve guards are a big dropoff in talent. Loved their comments about Sutton. He has also been playing with a bad foot for a while. If they get Houston back, that gives AG a new toy that the Niners don't have much film on. Maybe that was the plan. Looking forward to their thoughts later this week.
What make Dan Campbell and this team so great that I haven't seen being brought in discussion is Campbell's play calling on 4th down and the calculated aggression forces other coaches, at times, to go away from their normal philosopies. When you see Todd Bowles, a generally conservative play caller, go for 2 on their last touchdown, was a call that he wouldn't make but felt forced to at that time. Instead of concentrating for a potential tie if they got the ball back, he went against his norms. I'm hoping the playcalling continues to put pressure on the opposition.
There were a lot of cool moments yesterday but my two favorites were Craig Reynolds scoring on 4th and 1and Reeves-Maybin getting a sack. Those guys are the quintessential lunch-pail guys who just keep their heads down and do their jobs and for them to get a chance to play in such a big name and make a difference? That's what defines a Dan Campbell football team, and it's why FA's are going to start putting Detroit at the top of their landing-spot lists. Netflix, getting the call on 4th and 1???? Are you flipping kidding me???? No problem. Craig's a tough runner and Coach said yer my guy, go get em. How many other coaches make that call? With Monty, Gibbs, La Porta, hell, even Decker or Skipper available. What does Dan Campbell do? Rewards a guy who has been through the fire with him during the dark times, a guy they pulled off the couch, a guy nobody else wanted. But Coach saw something in him, and he keeps him around. You know why? Because when it's 4th and 1 he's the kind of guy who can go in as cold as an Antarctic winter and deliver. Same with Reeves-Maybin. He rarely gets a chance to play outside of special teams but every time he does he shows up. And he never bitches about not getting a chance to play more. Guys like Reynolds and Maybin are essential. Coach said he tells all the guys, even the ones on the practice squad, to be ready because when your number is called your going straight into the fire. How can you not want to play for that man. Go get em guys, knock the 49ers on their golden-gate asses and crash that party they call Super Bowl Sunday. Why not, what else ya got goin on? The Dude abides...indeed he does.
Obviously I never played at a high level but even in the bushes back in the day we used to call guys like Rags rough-and-tough-and-hard-to-diaper, meaning you couldn't get them to fold or cry no matter how much you threw at em. It's a crude analogy but it's meant with the highest level of respect. Frank Ragnow is like John Wayne toilet paper, rough and tough and won't take shit off no one.
Never watched yall before. Good insights. Would add something on the mistakes. Love that you first highlight that nobody has totally mistake free games. It's saddening that many fans obsess over every little thing and are quick to condemn both players and coaches over any and every thing. The reality is that it's ot the mistakes that matter, but how you respond to them. Whether you learn from them or not. (Barring of course the final couple minutes, in which case you simply may not have he chance or time to redeem yourself.) I'd hope fans can come to a place where they can forgive errors a bit more often, especially when coaches and players are noticeably making adjustments to prevent them from repeating
The playoffs is basically like a brand new season. I don't care if it's a 7-9 team or a 16-0 team, you can't underestimate or write off ANY team in the playoffs. Except for the Eagles.
I seen like a couple bucs fans yesterday in the stands an they didn't look they had a good time at all ford field is very intimidating if your a fan of an opposing team 😂
Detroit is definitely going to be a FA destination. I hope we are able to sign sneed or jaylon Johnson and get our cb1 we desperately need. If we draft a cb in round 1 or 2 I’d be happy signing Kendall Fuller instead.
We match up better with the 49ers than we do with the Bucs. I think the Bucs defense gave us more issues than the 49ers defense will. As long as we keep winning the turnover battle and make less mistakes than the 49ers I think we win. They legit don’t scare me.
I placed a bet back in May that KC and Detroit would be in the Super Bowl.
You still have a shot!
That's honestly the way I hope this works out. We beat them first game of the season. To beat them in the Super Bowl would be the perfect fairytale ending to this season.
@greasee.monkey7224 I'd also love to spoil it for Taylor and Travis. This is football, not the freaking Dating Game.
You got this brother
Good luck!

Best post game analysis from the two of the best to play the game! Love it and look forward to it every week!!
All of you Lions Alum deserve to celebrate and enjoy the new lions We Loved You Then we love you now

I went to a game against SF a few years back and there were so many Niners fans. Hopefully we can flip the script this time.

I appreciate the defense of Sutton. He’s been up against a Herculean task the last few games, and we’ve won them. That’s what really matters.
Obviously I never played at a high level but even in the bushes back in the day we used to call guys like Rags rough-and-tough-and-hard-to-diaper, meaning you couldn't get them to fold or cry no matter how much you threw at em. It's a crude analogy but it's meant with the highest level of respect. Frank Ragnow is like John Wayne toilet paper, rough and tough and won't take shit off no one.
I actually did think they would be in this spot after the Thanksgiving game...I was nt 100 percent sure but this is no surprise to me

The sacks were the key.

Don't forget about Cortland Sutton too

Dip is such an attractive vice. You can’t skip it for the hr a day you’re on the air??
He’s trytrying to be tough. Just like girls try to be pretty. Men being men. Does that upset your perception of men or you’d rather he wear a dress?
We match up better with the 49ers than we do with the Bucs. I think the Bucs defense gave us more issues than the 49ers defense will. As long as we keep winning the turnover battle and make less mistakes than the 49ers I think we win. They legit don’t scare me.
This our year san Fran didn't look good
Which one is Jansen? 🤔
Cam sutton has just been beat off the line. Its not just the stats we see it in real time. He cant cover these guys 1 on 1.
TJ, what’s in the container?
Sadly J Jackson does not seem to have the pain tolerance or toughness that Frank has.
It means a lot to Frank I’m not sure it hits the same
