      Thanx for your support. I've been a Lions fan for almost 40 years and based on the reaction I've seen towards Matthew Stafford and the Lions this past year, I have to say the Lions deserve better fans. Running a top 10 TE out of town and now trying to run Stafford off is appalling. Never Boo your team or the players. We lose Stafford and we could easily go another 60 years. I want to witness the Lions go to a Super Bowl and win before I die. Imagine how Martha Ford (95yrs) feels.

    This season was just another example that the Pro Bowl is based on popularity not stats/body of work. Stafford passes for 5,038 yds and 41 TDS and gets snubbed? Absolutely ludicrous. Gets snubbed again in 2015 throwing for 4,262 yds and 32 TDS, which he was later added as an alternate replacing Peyton Manning. All he did that game was pass for 316 yds and 2 TDS while bringing home the MVP trophy. I’ve been a diehard Lions fan just shy of 40 years and may be a bit bias when it comes to Stafford. He’s put up madden type numbers throughout his whole career without a trace of a run game and can barely get his name mentioned. Grossly underrated and under appreciated. Gets absolutely zero respect. I believe Stafford will have the most passing yards in NFL history when it’s all said and done. And in the top ten of a slew of other categories, ending up in the HOF. I know everyone is going to say he doesn’t belong because of his overall record and no playoff wins. Which is the dumbest shit everyone does when debating these type of incidences. So Brees and Rodgers wouldn’t belong in the HOF if neither of them won their one championship? People need to stop basing their decisions on a player’s legacy by team success. Stafford didn’t play every position on OFF and DEF. he didn’t lose those games by himself. I hope this all makes sense. I’m having a hard time writing it the way I’m thinking of it in my head. I’m glad the Lions let Stafford go and have an opportunity to be successful which he is far deserving of. Not forcing him to pull a Calvin Johnson or Barry Sanders move. Also, I really wish Titus Young didn’t sabotage his own career. He was getting better and better every game he played. He would’ve been something special in my opinion.

Had they played in the playoffs, that game would have been in the superdome like the first game. And theres no doubt it would have been another beat down.

    THE TRAGEDY OF THE GREATEST SUPER BOWL THAT NEVER WAS
    by Justin P. Gillespie
    this was a very entertaining game. but it is such a damn shame to me that new orleans defense couldnt make one of two different 4th quarter leads stand up the following weekend in the instant classic they played against the 49ers. i have absolutely zero doubt that the saints (who wouldve hosted the NFC title game, a huge advantage as they scored an average of almost 40 points a game at the dome in 2011, if they had gotten past san francisco since the #1 seed packers were upset by new york) would have just obliterated the giants in the conference championship game, as they had already beaten them about 6 weeks earlier 49-24 i believe, rolling up nearly 600 yards of total offense against new yorks completely overmatched defense, and they wouldve done to them it all over again, which would have set up a Brady vs Brees super bowl to conclude a season in which both QBs threw for over 5000 yards and a combined 85 TD passes (Brees had 46, Brady had 39) not to mention getting to see Gronk vs Jimmy Graham back when both players were shattering season records for catches, yards, and touchdowns for TEs. neither team could really play any defense, both head coaches had/have some stones, hall of fame QBs at the very peak of their powers, damn what a shame, man, what could have been, quite possibly the most exciting and wildly entertaining super bowl of all time, fast break football at its finest, a shootout for the ages featuring the 2 most prolific quarterbacks to ever play the game..... but nooo, alex smith went and had has 15 minutes of fame to vanquish new orleans, while eli manning forrest gumped his way past league MVP aaron rodgers and the 15-1 packers (say what?) then past alex smith and the 49ers the week after, and once again bailed out in the super bowl during crunch time by yet another miraculous circus catch by one of his receivers, it was mario manningham this time, allowing the gomer pyle of QBs to eventually pay the drive off with a game winning TD (which would have been too little too late for new york, if new englands all-pro slot receiver wes welker didnt drop a pass from Brady that hit him right in the hands, his stupid stone hands, but he did, loser... and btw, if welker catches that throw, Brady would probably have 8 super bowl rings, and 6 super bowl MVPs, which is just disgusting, seriously lol) resulting in eli freaking manning getting his 2nd super bowl ring (say what?) and despite his fairly pedestrian stats for the game, again, he received his 2nd super bowl MVP as well (proof that there is no god...) so the fans of the NFL werent just deprived of getting to see potentially the greatest and most thrilling super bowl of all time, no, now we also have to pretend that eli manning is actually good at football for the rest of our lives as well, which is most definitely the truly enduring and painfully tragic legacy of what i have now decided to call "Super Bowl BVB" (as in Brady vs Brees, clever lol) or, the greatest game that never was.
    one last thing, the career QB ratings of...
    Tom Brady: 97.3
    Drew Brees: 98.7
    Eli Manning: 84.1
    just more proof that there is no god, but that evil is all too real...

      You're right, except that a team gets 40 seconds play clock each snap. If you kneel it at 40 secs or less, the clock won't stop because the play clock is already gonna be eaten up and it won't make sense for the other team to try and make a play (and they're down by 17 anyway). I'd call it a "gentleman's agreed ending". Tell you what though, there were some head scratchin flags that went NO's way a few times.

    The NFL officials in this game violated the Change of Possession rule of 4th down with 37 seconds left in the game. Either the Lions didn't notice it, or didn't care. Here is the rule:
    Change Of Possession
    When a change of possession occurs during an NFL game, there is a stoppage in play to bring the proper offensive and defensive units onto the field. This change of possession is typically following a fumble recovery, interception, kickoff or punt.

    Look, I'm sorry Lions fans, but if the refs ruled the fumble correctly at first, we still would have won. We made come backs that year. We still would have collected ourselves and the rest of the game would play exactly the same. It would just make the score 35-45

      Nah. You’re just trying to defend the refs helping you out. Look, I’m sorry Saints fans, but that Rams no call was legit. Maybe you’ll be better next time instead of the league giving you a free Super Bowl because you got hit with Katrina.

      ​@@slmaulI'm not making excuses for anything. It's easy to make a case for us in this game because we won by *17 points*. All it would have done is made the final score 10 points. If you want to see a game where you can make a better case of the refs helping us out, then look at the Steelers-Saints 2018 game. Also, that Super bowl was NOT gifted and it's completely irrelevant to this game
