Mike you didn’t even talk about how half of our team is injured. You gave short descriptions towards Aidan being out. But forgot we had 2 corners out amik and Carlton Davis. Alim Mcneil out. Malcom Rodriguez out. That’s 4 significant players not even including Aidan. Sadly the commanders won because of a injuried riddled season. In all honest I’m a lions fan and with all the injuries that happen is was just best for us to take the draft pick and get our guys healthy. But to give any credit towards Daniels having a good game towards a 2nd string defense is atrocious
Self appointed, old, part time amateur GMs who require puppet HCs, and destroy a salary cap for a proven loser, don't do very far. There is a 30 year body of evidence that proves my point.

This just goes to show that seeding doesn’t matter, home field advantage doesn’t matter, and a bye week doesn’t matter. You’d better be ready to play that day or you’ll end up like Detroit
Seeding does matter. Teams with more wins have higher likelihood of winning. Obviously. "Seeding doesn't matter" is just a cliche cope to defend against charges that you were by far the better team, yet still lost.
I’m a firm believer that a bye week isn’t always a good thing. Sure it allows your team to rest and get healthy but sometimes you can get a little too laid back and confident….while the opponent is getting reps and experience
As a gianys fan the 2 runs the giants made with eli were from the WC wouldnt trade either on of them championships for an extra one .. also I definitely agree with you
The switch up on the Lions is crazy. A week ago, they were one of the best teams in the league, but one tough loss on year 2 of contention and they're "a trashcan organization" and "their superbowl window has closed". What about the Bills? The Ravens? How many times have they been in contention and failed to make the big game? A whole lot longer than two years.
Oh yea they do. Their defense has been gutted almost all season. But Jared Goff absolutely killed any chance at this game. The playoffs are about precision. You can’t turn it over repeatedly and expect to win
@@andreapayneconnally390 Tbh even if Jared Goff was perfect, there was still a chance that the commanders came out on top simply for the fact that Jayden Daniels is the type of player who we saw in that game. You have to give him his credit, he’s playing at a ridiculously high level even tho he’s only a rookie. He might be the guy who prevents KC from becoming a dynasty in the future
I am not a Lions fan - don't hate them, but the fact that so many defensive players were injured.... that made a difference. And Daniels played way, way better than Goff.
Their offense was running it up and down our defense. Our defense is just as bad as theirs. Jayden is just special where as Goff is just good. That’s what the difference was
@@Emj2679 one loss and people forget 15 wins and a dominant regular season campaign. and all this talk coming from fans with dogshit teams, embarassed that they're outclassed by the historically bad lions. yall are pathetic and exposing that you don't know ball
As a lifelong Lions fan, this was the team I didn't want to see in the playoffs. The other being Buffalo. For basically the same reasons. A running/option-oriented QB has caused problems for the Lions all season. Allen exposed them, Daniels exploited them. Doesn't hurt when you lose the turnover battle and the Skins, whoops Commanders, played a damn near perfect game.
What's crazy is, for how terrible the Lions defense and offense for that matter was playing, they were always right there still in the game for basically the whole game up until the 4th quarter. There are only down by 10 or 3 points for most of the game and that's crazy for how terrible they were playing you would think the commanders would have been up by 21 or 28 points by that point in time. And also if the game would have went how it was supposed to go and smacked and got his Bell rung that should have been a flag and that would have taken away that Pick 6 and this would have been a whole different ball game and the reason why I'm blaming the referees is because when Washington had the ball next, Jayden Daniels gets rid of the ball in Pascal runs up and kind of just barely pushes Jayden Daniels I mean he didn't hit him hard or anything he barely pushes him with just his arms, he didn't like run and use his body weight or anything but anyways he barely pushes Jane Daniels and Jane Daniels Falls backwards on his butt, but not hard he wasn't pushed hard at all but the referees immediately threw a flag and gave Washington a new set of downs + 15 yards and that's what pisses me off that they don't call it for Jared Goff when he got blatantly smacked in his helmet but if Jay Daniels barely gets pushed they throw the flag immediately but it is what it is my take on it is with this defense being so decimated I doubt the Detroit Lions would have won the Super Bowl they would have been lucky just to make it to the Super Bowl they would have had trouble getting past the Eagles of the Rams and even if they beat the Eagles or the Rams there's no way in hell they're going to beat the bills the Chiefs or Lamar Jackson with this defense being just crippled. Having practice squad players on a majority of the defensive line, having a rookie cornerbacks come in that never played a down in their life how to cover these NFL receivers that have been playing all year. We have to ask ourselves with Detroit really win a Super Bowl with this defense and the answer is absolutely not
thing is your heared up to beat the Bills but you underestimated the comanders. I think what really hurt your team more than anything else was Hutchinson not being 100%. The bills if you can attack the soft coverage they give you do not have an elite QB they have a highly over rated QB.
As a Cowboys fan I have nothing but bro love and respect for what Quinn did to help our defense. Since the Cowboys are not playing I hope Quinn wins it all, plus it'll help stick it to Jerry for letting him go!
And the Oscar of the week goes to.......DAN CAMPBELL!!! This is Dan's first Football Oscar after his team's "unexpected" loss to the Washington Commanders. He was close to winning it last year but the "Thrill of just getting there" took a little off of his performance.
Nah, he's truly a cry baby. Nothing worse than seeing a grown asz man cry like a lil girl. Dude has mental issues, it's not normal for a grown man to cry like that and it should not be acceptable. I don't want to hear the "emotional" crap either. Grown men don't cry.
Less than 1% of NFL teams are able to WIN despite a 5:0 TURNOVER ratio. You can question the coaches, you can question the QB, you can question the defense, or you can question your best friends girlfriend that rocks with the Lions just because her boyfriend does. The only REAL conversation as to why the Lions blew this game is the 5:0 turnover ratio. It's that simple!
Exactly jared goff sold. Its the exact reason rams traded him away. Now we owe him 170 million to come close but never actually make it or win the superbowl
Don’t forget, the Lions had 16 defensive players on the IR, which was a huge factor in this loss in my opinion, given how the defense performed in this game.
It's part of it but it's not the biggest reason. They were in this game until they started turning it over. Very winnable game for them until they started turning it over and genuinely right up until that idiotic play call for Jameson Williams to throw a double pass to a receiver blanketed in coverage. Worst play call in the history of the playoffs, like the Commanders weren't fooled and you expect Williams to be able to read a defense and understand what to do? No, he threw the ball because that was the play design. Didn't care that it wasn't open, he threw it anyway. That's why you don't let receivers throw the ball unless it's like a trick play in the red zone or a 2pt play, etc. They were only down 1 possession at that point and had PLENTY of time. That sealed the game right there. They got too cocky, too comfortable, too cute and they didn't take this opponent seriously enough. Same reason Buffalo came in there and punched them in the mouth, because they hadn't been humbled in forever and felt like they couldn't lose to anyone. You turn the ball over 4 or 5 times, and your opponent doesn't turn it over once, you're gonna fucking lose lol. The texans game where Goff threw 5 picks and still won was the exception, not the rule. This game was the rule.
Before the game, no one gave us a chance. The sportsbook had us at a 9-point underdog. Lions still had 16 people on IR when those predictions were being made.
The Detroit Lions are a number one class organization. I'm a Washington commanders fan and I respect coach Campbell. He's a good man and a great coach. The Detroit Lions organization is lucky to have him!
As a lions fan, I’m not surprised we lost at all. We had a practice squad defense and 2 coaches who were checked out from the start.we had no game plan going in and as soon as Robertson went m out I knew we were toast. Tbh I saw more promise from bridgewater than Goff in that game. Bottom line is you can’t win when you are overly confident and that’s the reality of it all.
How they go from being like 17-5 as a division and 0-3 in the playoffs shocks me, Goff man was giving me LA vibes last night. Commanders also have that black magic the chiefs have the difference is I actually enjoy watching them play will be rooting for them in this nfc champ game.
I was blaming Jared Goff at first but after seeing the replays of him getting smacked and getting his Bell rung, he was definitely concussed last night and I think it was messing with his vision and his speed of decision making. Because some of those throws he was doing were just not like him like the ball selling over Saint Brown's head and the interception in the end zone, those are just not like Jared Goff and I want to say I truly believe that the concussion was affecting his field of vision and his reaction time it's almost like he would see the opening and throw the ball a split second too late but in his mind it probably looked like normal
I don't think it was a concussion. Jared Goff is one of those weird players who is really good or really bad with no in between. Unfortunately, that doesn't mesh with a lack of defense since defense can't bail you out of a bad game then. Goff just had one of his bad days yesterday. If the Lions can avoid the injury bug in the future, that will go a long way to mitigate a bad Goff game. The good news for the Lions is he has way more good games than bad games.
@@runemonkey58 it was def a concussion, like he got rocked in the HEAD and then hit his head on the ground right afterwards, and i was shocked he was still in the game + that they didn't call that touchdown due to some type f penality >_
As a lions fan watching the game and the mistakes we made was brutal. Best of luck to the commanders/redskins. Commanders was flawless and played a really good game. Best of luck for the rest of play offs.
Washington deserve all the flowers. Nobody expected them to get this far. Let alone dethrone the number 1 seed Detroit Lions. I was hoping it would happen, I didn't think it would. Even if Washington doesn't make the SB, this will still be a great season for them. Bc of lack of explanation.
And this is kind of what the lions have been this year. Extremely good or overly mid lol. The one game I watched of them this year was when they played the texans and jared threw maybe 4 picks. It seems like the games where he do throw picks, it’s completely terrible. Never just one
There was a much better joke you could have made with Dan Campbell being a couch for the Cowboys but instead you made generic AI generated joke everyone has made a million times.
The Rams continue to have won the Stafford-Goff trade. Let's see how Goff bounces back. To be fair, he was statistically decent after the Rams lost the 2019 Super Bowl, so I wouldn't expect him to fall off a cliff next season. Then again, the Rams had and still have continuity with Sean McVay as the offensive visionary since then, whereas who knows what happens if the Lions if/when Ben Johnson leaves Detroit.
Gotta feel for the Lions…. They had a lot of pieces missing from their team. They did a lot better than they should have. Next year will be insane for them
People who are shocked are not long-term Lions fans. They have a long history of very bitter playoff losses. I remember Coach Fontz praying for the kicker to nail the field goal for the win over the heavily favored Niners and he hooked it. I remember the Eagles annihilating the Lions dropping a 50-spot on them. So, last year against the Niners the loss was no surprise, and neither was yesterday against the Redskins. Times, coaches, and players change, but they're still the Detroit Lions. And heartbreaking losses in the playoffs is a Lions tradition.
No way he falls into a sophomore slump either, he's to poised and mature. They're gonna pick up right after wherever this season ends. I have so much faith in that young man, he's earned it, the whole organization has.
@@goonie6610 CJ Stroud was the superstar in the making last year, now Daniels is the superstar in the making this year. You’d think people would learn to let things cook, but you all love yanking that turkey out the oven the moment it starts smelling good, don’t you? I guess if you keep predicting every single year, the law of averages will eventually make you right. Doesn’t sound so cool when I put it like that, though.
BTW, the Redskins gameplan against overwhelming odds is to score points and hope the pressure gets to the other team. And particularly the other QB, as it did Goff. Against Burrow we had to outgun him because he isn't going to crack. but against Goff he was already done cracking in the second quarter. And cracking in high pressure moments is exactly why the Rams traded him away for Stafford. He was always crack-prone, and we knew that in advance. And meanwhile Daniels is like Burrow and never cracks. It's positively a competitive advantage.
Idk if it’s only me but I truly believed the Lions SB window closed after the 2023 season, they had Hutch last year and all those key players, they were so close to beating the Niners in that NFC championship but Dan didn’t kick those field goals, and they ended up losing. Also the Skins are a dark horse Super Bowl contender, and Daniels is the next up dominant QB since - Mahomes. The Bears drafted Caleb Fingernails because he “played” “like” Mahomes when Daniels was clearly the better guy
Appreciate the faith in Daniels, he's special, I'm sure he'll be the next superstar and that's a weird feeling as a DC fan. But yea I agree with you on the lions. I personally believed they did have a shot this year but they're definitely on the decline. They might stay relevant for a few more years but I don't think they'll be 15-2 again and I doubt they'll be a true threat. No hate on the lions though I don't mind if they prove me wrong but you need 3 strong constants for a dynasty, a great QB, head coach, and general manager. Jared Goff isn't that QB, he'll give you a window of opportunity and he did but that window is closing and I think lions fans know that, that's why it was so devastating.
I didn’t like the fact that they are publicly saying that both coaches are interviewing for coaching positions. Once the Super Bowl is over, go do your interview.
not a lions fan but was rooting for them... they really don't need too much improvement if they manage to keep their OC and DC, they just need to be healthy, especially on defense...
Gibbs was unstoppable, 105 and 2 TDs on only 14 carries. You pound the run and feed him the rock 35 times and keep Daniels off the field, this is a 31-17 Lions win for sure.
Last season and this season were Detroit’s prime opportunities to get to a Super Bowl. I doubt we see them in this position again anytime soon, it’ll be at least two seasons until new coordinators can settle in, and by that time Goff will be going into season number 12, almost an old man by football standards. It’s definitely an uphill battle from here. Keep in mind this is coming from a lifelong Lions fan, I have always and will continue to support them. But they’ve missed their window of opportunity, it just is what it is. At least we’ve managed to win more than one playoff game since 1963 now 😂😂
Every other NFC team has reached an NFC Championship more recently than the Cowboys have in fact all 15 other NFC teams have reached at least one from 2010-2024. With Dan Snyder gone this shows how much a new owner can change things if you would of told me 12 months ago when I thought the Dan Quinn hire was a bad hire that they'd be 12-5 and reached the NFC Championship I wouldn't of believed you.
The balloon popped when amik went down. Than iffy went down. Then goff gets concussed. Then our coordinators are already packed for next job. Reading news clipping of themselves instead of laser focus on a playoff game.
The way that the Lions hit Caleb Williams near the sideline makes me think that what Dan Campbell said in his head coaching hire press conference should be interpreted literally.
@@jeridavis7496 Are you trying to make football to be where no one feels bad? The lions lost to a beatable commanders team and lions fans have been insufferable this year. They talk a big game then lose as the number 1 seed they deserve to be the butt of a joke for a week.
I’m just jealous of the commanders because Kliff got to the NFC championship before the Cardinals. Has me really thinking that Kyler is not suited for football. Mike make a video of how Kliff is thriving and Kyler is cooked.
not making excuses for 5 turnovers because the Lions definitely shot themselves in the foot this game. And that commanders team is truly defying expectations, Jayden Daniels is the best rookie I've ever seen. But it would have been so much more fun to watch the Lions defense fully healthy. They were playing back up and third stringers towards the last half of the season and in the playoffs. Hard to win when your playing the war of attrition.
Brah. That reminded me of a Cowboys choke job. But when your qb is Jared Goff.... or Dak... that stuff is gonna happen pretty consistently in January. Js
Commanders fan here. I knew we were a terrible matchup for Detroit. Did I know that we would win by 2 touchdowns? Hell no. But we took care of business.
It’s because of Detroit Lions have been overhyped and overrated. They won only two playoff games in 30 years and everybody wants to praise them for what? I’m a Philadelphia Eagles fan. We won the same amount of playoff games this postseason as the Lions did in 30 years think about that.
@ I hate the eagles tbh, but even though they’re rivals, I respect the grind with Washington, and after what happened with the lions, I was hoping they would lose
@TheCook43 you must be a lions fan🤦♂️, just saying, if you are a lions fan, we beat the team you guys just got bent over by😭 or are you a 49ers fan? Either way happy to say at least we didn’t go against the cheifs twice in the Super Bowl just to lose and go 6-10
Its too bad, I was really rooting for them. But I had a feeling the commanders were gonna upset the Lions. Glad I trusted that intuition, cause it paid off huge in my bets.
THIS. While I understand the Lions' long time woes, having a breakout regular season doesn't mean jack-Shiite if it isn't capped with a SB title. They were acting like they won the last three SB in a row and being obnoxious about it.
@ the redskins. As a cowboy fan, I have always hated the redskins. I just can’t hate the “commanders” with the same vitriol 😜. They will forever be the redskins to me.
everybody trying to blame this on Goff. as a lifelong Detroiter Goffs done more for this city than Stafford ever did, all Stafford ever did is lose 1 playoff game for Detroit (one playoff appearance) in his whole career here. are entire defense was banged up with 3rd and 4th stringers everywhere but its Goffs fault when he was in the MVP conversation just a month ago.
Nothing more than a team thinking they won the championship 🏆 during the regular season. There's contenders and pretenders, and I think we know what the Lions are.
I agree with everything you said I went into the game rooting for the Lions and by the end of the first quarter I had changed to the Commanders what a qb they have. I'm a Raider fan and am used to watching everyone else in the playoffs. I love your content! Noticing that Goff probably got a concussion at that moment makes too much sense not to be what happened! Great vid bro! Welcome to my regular feed!
As a Lions fan, I really don't think Goff had a concussion. I've watched enough of him to see that when he has off nights, he is really off all night. When he is on, he's one of the best. Unfortunately, last night was one of his off games, and that cost them.
As a Commander fan, I have a positive message of hope for Cowboys fans. Washington set the blueprint for a fast turnaround. All you have to do is get new ownership, get a competent GM that hires, drafts and signs the exact right players and coaches, and draft the right QB. It’s simple. I can also tell you, when you have a bad owner, it will never change until you get a new owner. Shout out to Micah Parsons, good kid
The number 1 reason we got this far this fast is the fact that Dan Snyder finally sold the team. The one thing we’ve been bitching about and needed the most since 1999.
Or if Jarod Goff played mistake free football like Jayden Daniels did. Or if the DC could adjust his scheme as the game goes on. But the lions have injuries(which has been the case all season long) so we'll blame it on that
I knew the commanders would get to this point. I still got a lay running that I made after week 5 with Jayden to win OROY & Washington to the bowl. Decided to place it once I saw he was the real deal. I’m not worried about those legs losing, I’m more worried about my 3rd leg with Lamar winning MVP. I feel like they might give MVP to Josh, he’s the odds favorite over Lamar right now. Wish I would’ve put more money than I did on it.
I don't know how long we could have really expected their defense to keep playing over their head. They've had over 30 different starters on defense alone this year. THIRTY. 18 players on IR. Tough to overcome.
"Wish I could have played a little better." Bro, you threw THREE interceptions. THREE. Kind of an understatement there, buddy. You cost your entire team the playoffs.

you can question the defense, or you can question your best friends girlfriend that rocks with the Lions just because her boyfriend does.
The only REAL conversation as to why the Lions blew this game is the 5:0 turnover ratio. It's that simple!
@@Mista808 guess u can question the qb then
Exactly jared goff sold. Its the exact reason rams traded him away. Now we owe him 170 million to come close but never actually make it or win the superbowl
Facts!
Been the answer for the last 3 playoff games. Rams, Ravens, and the Lions lost the turnover battle and lost very close games otherwise.
Jayden Daniels making it to the nfc championship before Dak is crazy work 💀🙏🏻
Don’t forget, the Lions had 16 defensive players on the IR, which was a huge factor in this loss in my opinion, given how the defense performed in this game.
and their coach was on coke
Still shoulda won tho
They still choked
Period
It's part of it but it's not the biggest reason. They were in this game until they started turning it over. Very winnable game for them until they started turning it over and genuinely right up until that idiotic play call for Jameson Williams to throw a double pass to a receiver blanketed in coverage. Worst play call in the history of the playoffs, like the Commanders weren't fooled and you expect Williams to be able to read a defense and understand what to do? No, he threw the ball because that was the play design. Didn't care that it wasn't open, he threw it anyway. That's why you don't let receivers throw the ball unless it's like a trick play in the red zone or a 2pt play, etc. They were only down 1 possession at that point and had PLENTY of time. That sealed the game right there. They got too cocky, too comfortable, too cute and they didn't take this opponent seriously enough. Same reason Buffalo came in there and punched them in the mouth, because they hadn't been humbled in forever and felt like they couldn't lose to anyone.
You turn the ball over 4 or 5 times, and your opponent doesn't turn it over once, you're gonna fucking lose lol. The texans game where Goff threw 5 picks and still won was the exception, not the rule. This game was the rule.
Before the game, no one gave us a chance. The sportsbook had us at a 9-point underdog. Lions still had 16 people on IR when those predictions were being made.
No excuses. Period. If that is the case it should work for all teams who had injuries.
The Detroit Lions are a number one class organization. I'm a Washington commanders fan and I respect coach Campbell. He's a good man and a great coach. The Detroit Lions organization is lucky to have him!
As a lions fan, I’m not surprised we lost at all. We had a practice squad defense and 2 coaches who were checked out from the start.we had no game plan going in and as soon as Robertson went m out I knew we were toast. Tbh I saw more promise from bridgewater than Goff in that game. Bottom line is you can’t win when you are overly confident and that’s the reality of it all.
The 15 win game curse has stuck again
4:27 who woulda thought they were talking about CANCUN😂
How they go from being like 17-5 as a division and 0-3 in the playoffs shocks me, Goff man was giving me LA vibes last night. Commanders also have that black magic the chiefs have the difference is I actually enjoy watching them play will be rooting for them in this nfc champ game.
I was blaming Jared Goff at first but after seeing the replays of him getting smacked and getting his Bell rung, he was definitely concussed last night and I think it was messing with his vision and his speed of decision making. Because some of those throws he was doing were just not like him like the ball selling over Saint Brown's head and the interception in the end zone, those are just not like Jared Goff and I want to say I truly believe that the concussion was affecting his field of vision and his reaction time it's almost like he would see the opening and throw the ball a split second too late but in his mind it probably looked like normal
@ Yeah he shouldn't have come back in I don't know why they cleared him.
I don't think it was a concussion. Jared Goff is one of those weird players who is really good or really bad with no in between. Unfortunately, that doesn't mesh with a lack of defense since defense can't bail you out of a bad game then. Goff just had one of his bad days yesterday. If the Lions can avoid the injury bug in the future, that will go a long way to mitigate a bad Goff game. The good news for the Lions is he has way more good games than bad games.
@@runemonkey58 it was def a concussion, like he got rocked in the HEAD and then hit his head on the ground right afterwards, and i was shocked he was still in the game + that they didn't call that touchdown due to some type f penality >_
As a lions fan watching the game and the mistakes we made was brutal. Best of luck to the commanders/redskins. Commanders was flawless and played a really good game. Best of luck for the rest of play offs.
Enjoy being a trashcan org agian they went out as trash and will always be trash
Washington deserve all the flowers. Nobody expected them to get this far. Let alone dethrone the number 1 seed Detroit Lions. I was hoping it would happen, I didn't think it would. Even if Washington doesn't make the SB, this will still be a great season for them. Bc of lack of explanation.
Lions played so bad, I thought the cowboys were in the playoffs 😂
And this is kind of what the lions have been this year. Extremely good or overly mid lol. The one game I watched of them this year was when they played the texans and jared threw maybe 4 picks. It seems like the games where he do throw picks, it’s completely terrible. Never just one
@@Money_erathat’s not true at all if you actually watched the lions this year the offense seemed unstoppable, no idea what happened last night
@@sambaylerian7744 I mean having like 10 players injured doesn't help
Oh man, I am laughing so hard here😜. Thanks, I needed that today👍👍
There was a much better joke you could have made with Dan Campbell being a couch for the Cowboys but instead you made generic AI generated joke everyone has made a million times.
Don’t undermine Zach Ertz, the dude never ages and is having one of his best seasons at 34
He definitely don't PLAY like he's 34 wow
He was one of my favorites as an eagle
Man as a eagles fan I hate to have to see him on the opposite side but he’s a baller
I thought this was our year. I dont think we'll ever get another year like this. I'm so sad but it is what it is. FUCKING RIP.
The Rams continue to have won the Stafford-Goff trade. Let's see how Goff bounces back. To be fair, he was statistically decent after the Rams lost the 2019 Super Bowl, so I wouldn't expect him to fall off a cliff next season. Then again, the Rams had and still have continuity with Sean McVay as the offensive visionary since then, whereas who knows what happens if the Lions if/when Ben Johnson leaves Detroit.
Gotta feel for the Lions…. They had a lot of pieces missing from their team. They did a lot better than they should have. Next year will be insane for them
Naw it’s gunna be worse , we bout to loose two Important people from our coaching staff 😭
Nope Lions going back to 0-16 trashcan team is over
That's what they said last year.
Still went 15-2
No excuses
That's nothing. The chiefs keep getting help from the refs
People who are shocked are not long-term Lions fans. They have a long history of very bitter playoff losses. I remember Coach Fontz praying for the kicker to nail the field goal for the win over the heavily favored Niners and he hooked it. I remember the Eagles annihilating the Lions dropping a 50-spot on them. So, last year against the Niners the loss was no surprise, and neither was yesterday against the Redskins. Times, coaches, and players change, but they're still the Detroit Lions. And heartbreaking losses in the playoffs is a Lions tradition.
We are actually watching superstar be born in jayden daniels, its insane
No way he falls into a sophomore slump either, he's to poised and mature. They're gonna pick up right after wherever this season ends. I have so much faith in that young man, he's earned it, the whole organization has.
@@goonie6610 CJ Stroud was the superstar in the making last year, now Daniels is the superstar in the making this year. You’d think people would learn to let things cook, but you all love yanking that turkey out the oven the moment it starts smelling good, don’t you? I guess if you keep predicting every single year, the law of averages will eventually make you right. Doesn’t sound so cool when I put it like that, though.
BTW, the Redskins gameplan against overwhelming odds is to score points and hope the pressure gets to the other team. And particularly the other QB, as it did Goff. Against Burrow we had to outgun him because he isn't going to crack. but against Goff he was already done cracking in the second quarter. And cracking in high pressure moments is exactly why the Rams traded him away for Stafford. He was always crack-prone, and we knew that in advance. And meanwhile Daniels is like Burrow and never cracks. It's positively a competitive advantage.
I think the coaches should wait until AFTER the playoffs to interview with other teams. The Lions were not prepared for this game.
9:55 it’s usually not always the hit that makes it so bad it’s usually the fall of when the head snaps back and hits the ground
ROFL Dyami Brown was just minding his own business😂😂😂.
Don’t anyone EVER tell me SOL is dead ever again. It merely changed its status from series regular to special guest star😂
Idk if it’s only me but I truly believed the Lions SB window closed after the 2023 season, they had Hutch last year and all those key players, they were so close to beating the Niners in that NFC championship but Dan didn’t kick those field goals, and they ended up losing. Also the Skins are a dark horse Super Bowl contender, and Daniels is the next up dominant QB since - Mahomes. The Bears drafted Caleb Fingernails because he “played” “like” Mahomes when Daniels was clearly the better guy
Appreciate the faith in Daniels, he's special, I'm sure he'll be the next superstar and that's a weird feeling as a DC fan. But yea I agree with you on the lions. I personally believed they did have a shot this year but they're definitely on the decline. They might stay relevant for a few more years but I don't think they'll be 15-2 again and I doubt they'll be a true threat. No hate on the lions though I don't mind if they prove me wrong but you need 3 strong constants for a dynasty, a great QB, head coach, and general manager. Jared Goff isn't that QB, he'll give you a window of opportunity and he did but that window is closing and I think lions fans know that, that's why it was so devastating.
I didn’t like the fact that they are publicly saying that both coaches are interviewing for coaching positions. Once the Super Bowl is over, go do your interview.
That Niner game was their Super Bowl
not a lions fan but was rooting for them... they really don't need too much improvement if they manage to keep their OC and DC, they just need to be healthy, especially on defense...
OC is going to be gone to be a HC
Poor Dan, man. As long as he's the coach, I'll be rooting for the Lions' success.
Trashcan team will never reach the playoffs again
@ Who bullied you? The lunch lady?
Yeah, poor Dan. 😂
@@Emj2679 Harsh. But somehow rings so true. 😆
I was saying after the lions choked LAST year that they will never get to a sb with campbell
And they won't
Gibbs was unstoppable, 105 and 2 TDs on only 14 carries. You pound the run and feed him the rock 35 times and keep Daniels off the field, this is a 31-17 Lions win for sure.
One thing I noticed with our defense is that we can't seem to handle mobile QBs well
They should have kept Teddy B in. He was getting it done and Goff was stunned.
Ain’t nobody chanting “Jared Goff” anymore 😂😂😂
Last season and this season were Detroit’s prime opportunities to get to a Super Bowl. I doubt we see them in this position again anytime soon, it’ll be at least two seasons until new coordinators can settle in, and by that time Goff will be going into season number 12, almost an old man by football standards. It’s definitely an uphill battle from here.
Keep in mind this is coming from a lifelong Lions fan, I have always and will continue to support them. But they’ve missed their window of opportunity, it just is what it is. At least we’ve managed to win more than one playoff game since 1963 now 😂😂
The NFL is a for profit entertainment company.
But everyone ignores it
Actually it's a non profit business SCAM.
As a packer fan, we may have lost, but the Vikings and lions got blown out when they were huge favorites soo im calling this playoffs a W
The Commanders are proof of what a real GM, HC, and a talented QB can do. F the Jones'.
Without all the mistakes this is a closer game for sure. I was so happy their OC stopped running Gibbs.
Every other NFC team has reached an NFC Championship more recently than the Cowboys have in fact all 15 other NFC teams have reached at least one from 2010-2024. With Dan Snyder gone this shows how much a new owner can change things if you would of told me 12 months ago when I thought the Dan Quinn hire was a bad hire that they'd be 12-5 and reached the NFC Championship I wouldn't of believed you.
The balloon popped when amik went down. Than iffy went down. Then goff gets concussed. Then our coordinators are already packed for next job. Reading news clipping of themselves instead of laser focus on a playoff game.
2:09 spomsor end
The way that the Lions hit Caleb Williams near the sideline makes me think that what Dan Campbell said in his head coaching hire press conference should be interpreted literally.
It was a superbowl caliber game. Lions deserve to hold their heads up high
Nope let them do the walk of shame this was a mess. It’s okay to admit they screwed themselves back to back.
@@CircumstancesNeverMatter We’ve suffered for decades just like the Lions. We can extend a lil bit of decorum for them.
@@jeridavis7496 Are you trying to make football to be where no one feels bad? The lions lost to a beatable commanders team and lions fans have been insufferable this year. They talk a big game then lose as the number 1 seed they deserve to be the butt of a joke for a week.
Shows why peaking at the right time of the year matters. Chiefs rested players week 18 and didn't try to blow teams out all year.
Dyami Brown was the real Brown that showed out when it mattered😂
Especially with that catch in the red zone where he was blinded by the Lions DB.
I’m just jealous of the commanders because Kliff got to the NFC championship before the Cardinals. Has me really thinking that Kyler is not suited for football. Mike make a video of how Kliff is thriving and Kyler is cooked.
This wasent sad, it just wasent expected
not making excuses for 5 turnovers because the Lions definitely shot themselves in the foot this game. And that commanders team is truly defying expectations, Jayden Daniels is the best rookie I've ever seen. But it would have been so much more fun to watch the Lions defense fully healthy. They were playing back up and third stringers towards the last half of the season and in the playoffs. Hard to win when your playing the war of attrition.
THAT WAS AWESOME
A mix of 16 defensive starters and rotation guys on IR . Its amazing how Detroit won so many games
Brah. That reminded me of a Cowboys choke job. But when your qb is Jared Goff.... or Dak... that stuff is gonna happen pretty consistently in January. Js
Sadly, the Lions played their worst game when it mattered most. As a Lions fan, hats off to the Commanders, they played one hell of a game.
Commanders fan here. I knew we were a terrible matchup for Detroit. Did I know that we would win by 2 touchdowns? Hell no. But we took care of business.
Thanks for your time, Alex. Now back to Howie and the boys in the studio.
Sure did!!
Detroit is outta there!!!
i wonder how jayden would do after a hit like that and with no defense
Not a lions fan, but I really thought the lions where going to the superbowl this year. They started this season super hot.
My buddy is a commanders fan but either team and fanbases needed this
It’s because of Detroit Lions have been overhyped and overrated. They won only two playoff games in 30 years and everybody wants to praise them for what? I’m a Philadelphia Eagles fan. We won the same amount of playoff games this postseason as the Lions did in 30 years think about that.
As a Dallas fan, I am jumping with joy right now😎
Your happy your division rivals are winning? What are you stupid
How, u are even worse off with two teams that are playoff Super Bowl contenders in the same division
@ I hate the eagles tbh, but even though they’re rivals, I respect the grind with Washington, and after what happened with the lions, I was hoping they would lose
You are the only nfc team that hasn't made the nfc championship in the last 30 years you cannot be talking
@TheCook43 you must be a lions fan🤦♂️, just saying, if you are a lions fan, we beat the team you guys just got bent over by😭 or are you a 49ers fan? Either way happy to say at least we didn’t go against the cheifs twice in the Super Bowl just to lose and go 6-10
Its too bad, I was really rooting for them. But I had a feeling the commanders were gonna upset the Lions. Glad I trusted that intuition, cause it paid off huge in my bets.
all good points. very well thought out perspective!
Too bad, so sad Detroit Lions.😥
Can't turn the ball over 4 or 5 times whatever it was, that fumble in the red zone was the tipping point
As an eagles fan, the amount of shit the lions talked, just lose to in the first round to the FRICKIN COMMANDERS is hilarious.
Eagles fans are the fucking worst
we can't laugh yet bro, i just pray we win and don't lose any guys in the process...THEN the shit talkin may commence
Gotta say I loved this outhouse whuppin' the Commanders put on the Lions. All the neighbors in the NFC heard that cryin' ~ !!!!
THIS. While I understand the Lions' long time woes, having a breakout regular season doesn't mean jack-Shiite if it isn't capped with a SB title. They were acting like they won the last three SB in a row and being obnoxious about it.
Right? They didn't even lose to the Redskins. They lost to a team with a children's comic book name.
People make fun of campbell for crying but they'd be the exact same way if they were in his position
Detroit needed 12 defenders on the field, they couldn’t stop the Skins at all with 11.
Stop the who?
@ the redskins. As a cowboy fan, I have always hated the redskins. I just can’t hate the “commanders” with the same vitriol 😜. They will forever be the redskins to me.
everybody trying to blame this on Goff. as a lifelong Detroiter Goffs done more for this city than Stafford ever did, all Stafford ever did is lose 1 playoff game for Detroit (one playoff appearance) in his whole career here. are entire defense was banged up with 3rd and 4th stringers everywhere but its Goffs fault when he was in the MVP conversation just a month ago.
Nothing more than a team thinking they won the championship 🏆 during the regular season. There's contenders and pretenders, and I think we know what the Lions are.
Love Dan Campbell, but his love for trick play BS, fake punts etc, going for it 4th and 12 with like 10 minutes in the game is certainly a weakness.
I agree with everything you said I went into the game rooting for the Lions and by the end of the first quarter I had changed to the Commanders what a qb they have. I'm a Raider fan and am used to watching everyone else in the playoffs. I love your content! Noticing that Goff probably got a concussion at that moment makes too much sense not to be what happened! Great vid bro! Welcome to my regular feed!
As a Lions fan, I really don't think Goff had a concussion. I've watched enough of him to see that when he has off nights, he is really off all night. When he is on, he's one of the best. Unfortunately, last night was one of his off games, and that cost them.
Just shows an elite QB could turn a franchise around. Jayden Daniels is the reason for his upset.
My reaction as a cowboy fan 😢
Mood as druski
As a Commander fan, I have a positive message of hope for Cowboys fans. Washington set the blueprint for a fast turnaround. All you have to do is get new ownership, get a competent GM that hires, drafts and signs the exact right players and coaches, and draft the right QB. It’s simple. I can also tell you, when you have a bad owner, it will never change until you get a new owner. Shout out to Micah Parsons, good kid
Lions fan here. Really sucks.
Ah-ha. Look at you now.
You had a great season. Don’t feel bad.
"We'll see you in 2 weeks" is right up there with "we want the ball and we're gonna score" 😂
Sad bout dem losing cuz Dey had the best chance to beat eagles
I told a friend after the Packers and Vikings lost in the Wild Card round, after that, I could see the Lions losing.
And now you know why Sean mcvay was out on Goff. He knew he couldn't get his team over the hump.
4 turnovers and 1 pick 6
The number 1 reason we got this far this fast is the fact that Dan Snyder finally sold the team. The one thing we’ve been bitching about and needed the most since 1999.
If we weren’t as injury we would have won it all
That's a lot of playoff teams. Unfortunately, depth and managing injuries is a challenge for most GMs
Or if Jarod Goff played mistake free football like Jayden Daniels did. Or if the DC could adjust his scheme as the game goes on. But the lions have injuries(which has been the case all season long) so we'll blame it on that
NFC East guaranteed to be in Superbowl!
I knew the commanders would get to this point. I still got a lay running that I made after week 5 with Jayden to win OROY & Washington to the bowl. Decided to place it once I saw he was the real deal. I’m not worried about those legs losing, I’m more worried about my 3rd leg with Lamar winning MVP. I feel like they might give MVP to Josh, he’s the odds favorite over Lamar right now. Wish I would’ve put more money than I did on it.
Goff reminds me of Justin herbert, regular season hero, post season zero.
I don't know how long we could have really expected their defense to keep playing over their head. They've had over 30 different starters on defense alone this year. THIRTY. 18 players on IR. Tough to overcome.
0:28 as a DMV native, speak for yourself. Maybe a healthy Lions defense wouldve cooked the commanders but they was too depleted
The NFC North went out sad. Bears, Packers, Vikings and Lions. All in that order
"Wish I could have played a little better."
Bro, you threw THREE interceptions. THREE. Kind of an understatement there, buddy. You cost your entire team the playoffs.
