Everyone wants to be down with the hot teams. Steven A. Smith is even ranking them highly and trying to kiss ass... We've all been here. Megatron, 0-16, Barry... The constant refs. All of it. Real fans have been down for a long time. 10, 20, 37, 40, 50, 60+ years. Lions fans know loyalty.
Just remember, these same sports social media influencers of cable news that were so wrong about Dan are now the ones saying they are unstoppable, they don't know anything more today than they did yesterday, they are just riding the hype train and getting eyeballs. Don't give them either. The lions are a great team, but they will stumble, and these same voices will declare the lions broken immediately. There's no money in honest competent analysis, only extremes and personalities.
And I bet if you mentioned about how negative they were in the beginning of last year, they'd say they weren't. They'd say that they saw a spark in the Lions and they knew they (the Lions) were turning things around. Those commentators would also say they saw it coming. I say they're full of BS!!
@@BastardZombieKiller1Does that make you more of a fan? Have you been wasting your time watching the Tigers and Wings suck too? Wasting away Sunday afternoons for 4 hours got old, now I can’t wait to watch them. Yes I am a fair weather fan.
For me, it was Goff running straight to Coach to hug him like we won the Super Bowl that told me he 100% is the coach this team and city need. Look how far they've come in 2 short years.
I was tearing up after that Vikings win. Seeing Goff run over to celebrate with Dan Campbell first, and the game ball, shows how his players felt about him. He was and remains the right guy for Detroit.
If this doesn't hit you in the "feels," you're a football watcher and not a fan. A coach like this will make a good team great, and a great team a champion.
He had an excellent resume. He was universally respected by every player he played with even though he was a marginal NFL player. His coaches as a player recognized his leadership, his coaches as peers recognized his talent and ability to lead, he was an interim coach of the Dolphins (did okay with a bad team) and was the assistant HC at New Orleans to an all time great OC and HC. If that is not a good resume, I don’t know what else to say. Some may laugh at this, but Dan Campbell is in the process of revolutionalizing NFL football. He is making it fun to watch, and even more importantly, fun to play. He is encouraging creativity and risk taking from his coaches and his players. I’m not sure if he will leave a bunch of great Head Coaches from his staff, but they will get the chance to prove themselves because of Dan and his success. Dan has brought the emotion back to a game that was turning into a business and all that that means to what is basically a game. All of us Lions fans are very grateful that he was asked to be our HC and even happier that he eagerly accepted the job.
This is the coach this teams has been looking for, over 20 years. It's great to see the emotional support the players and coaching staff has built. Not since Fontes has this team looked so united.
20 years more like 50 years since Joe Schmidt resigned back in 1973, I've been waiting for a guy like Dan Campbell to lead the Lions out of the wilderness.
@@Jack-iu5umafter 40 years of watching them waste players and find ways to lose, this is the first time in nearly half a century of watching this team that I go into games believing we are going to find a way to win.
I am an immigrant. Learned what is football at the age of 30 as a Detroit resident. Though I moved on from the city after 4 years, Detroit sports franchises are always my teams and it’s my home town far away from birth place. I never left following Lions, praying for their win every time they play for the past 21 years. There will be no happiest person in this world even if they go to NFC championship, let alone Super Bowl. Go Lions! Go Detroit!
Brought tears to my eyes. Lions have been through so much for many many years and watching my team do this good feels great. They haven’t been 5-1 since 2011. If any team deserves a Super Bowl win it’s the Lions.🦁
The algorithm brought me to you now, so I just wanted to say I'm so happy for you guys! What a time for you all, and you earned it for sure. Keep giving em hell!
You won’t ever be able to question if the players like the coaches. Just look at how they celebrate their accomplishments. Let alone each other’s accomplishments. If they win (it all) I will be crying my eyes DRY! I am going to have to call in to work for like, a week straight! I love this team! Always have, and always will.
It takes a while to dig yourself out of that deep of a hole and to fix a culture so devoid of success. As they say Rome wasn’t built in a day. I had a friend who was born in 1960 and a huge Lion’s fan owning season tickets for decades. He passed away before ever getting to see his Lions succeed. I hope he is able to see them now.
Im sorry for your loss. If only the past Lions' fans could see the sea of Honolulu Blue during Home games, and the OCEAN of Blue during Away games. LETS GO LIONS!
I think the greatest quote that will come out of the Dan Campbell era for the Lions is Aaron Rodgers saying "We're not supposed to lose to THAT team." before Detroit went on to eliminate the Green Bay Packers from going to the playoffs in the 2022 season and chased Rodgers out of the division.
When Dan Campbell was talking about bitting kneecaps in that press conference all the analysts said he was gonna fail miserably, but lions fans knew that he was a perfect fit. Dan Campbell has lead this team out of a legacy of failure and I could not be happier about what he’s done.
I might not have been paying attention when Dan was hired as our head coach. I might not have paid attention to that first year. I might not have paid attention to half of last year. But when I started paying attention, and seeing the culture he brought to Detroit, not a winning culture, but a culture of grit, tenacity, and brotherhood I knew we had something special. I don’t want the Lions to win playoff games for the city, for the players, hell not even for us fans. I want the Lions to win for this man right here who has changed this team so much in such a short amount of time.
When the lions win the Superbowl, it won't be for us. It won't be for themselves, it won't be for the owner, It won't be for anyone that can read this comment. When they win the Superbowl it will be for those that never lived to see it. Those that emotionally bled, fought against the doubt, the despair, the apathy, year after year and were never rewarded. The Lions organization has debts to be paid. IOU's that go back generations, To be honest I figure any fan alive today won't be able to collect on a Superbowl win until at least the 3rd one.
imagine being 0-10-1 first year as a coach and have your player give the game ball to him. For me that´s the moment you know that it will all change. The players still had 100 procent trust in him. Goff runs up hugging him. I saw that season and a lot of thoose loses was so close and I honestly thought 2022 it would be playoff for them. It came 2023 but man I love when you get it done as a team. No divas. No one above the other. Pure team game I LOVE FUCKING LOVE THAT
I have loved this team unconditionally for 53 years, and I have been laughed at, ridiculed, cast aside, and smocked at. Thank you Dan Campbell for your wisdom, thank you for your faith and drive in the Lions, and the fans, the fans who have suffered for many decades. We could never have done this without you, and Sheila. I stand proud.
Even as a Bill's fan it is still absolutely amazing coming back here after they won their division and first playoff game in over 30 year's. Seriously couldn't be happier for Dan and that fanbase. Max, Stephen. A and Skip are 3 of the biggest goofies in sport's... CONSISTENTLY wrong, yet they keep their job's because "hot take's" sell. #1 reason I rarely, if ever watch sport's media anymore. They don't even believe what they say. They just say what they think will generate the biggest buzz.
She made one of the best moves in franchise history hiring, Chris Spielman and it was all uphill from there. Shiela, Spielman, Campbell, and Holmes. The Mt. Rushmore of the Lions success we're seeing
They should show this video before the Ravens game in the locker room locker room to the whole team. Just so that they can remember how far they've come. 🙂
The most underrated quote from that day 1 press conference was DC telling us he was going to give the city a team that we could be proud of. The whole state of Michigan and much of the country is proud of this team. I can’t wait to talk about this team every single Monday. Thank you Dan, Brad and Sheila.
and as of today January 6th 2025 the Lions ended the season 15-2 last night and are the #1 seed in the NFC. ROLL ON LIONS!! what a story----love this video to remind us how far we have come----not even in the past 60 years that we have, but even in the past 4 years! Incredible.
You can't help but love Dan Campbell. This guy is the real deal. No hype, full transparency, profound leadership, and true grit! He was made for Detroit. Something is going on folks, a much bigger picture is that play, a team currently known for not winning anything past maybe a wild-card game in the postseason, finds its way to a playoff, that's called a wall being torn down to the next level, this is a road to victory The encouragement here is to be eyes wide, there's a spiritual anthropomorphism at play here...Campbell! The Lousy Lions couldn't even cover a 3-point spread! They didn't deserve to win after Coasting in the 2nd half!!! Enjoy this win because it will be the LAST this season. My money will be on either the Eagles or the Bucs next game!! This coach is a true leader. This is what’s wrong with the league, I swear Lions fans were just calling for refs' heads and all of a sudden refs aren’t the problem and the Rams should cry some more… It’s in the script for them to go to the NFC championship See Lions fans: it’s not so bad to be screwed over by the refs in the reg season at Jerry World, so long as they make it up to you by looking the other way when your team uses Puka Nacua’s jersey to finally be able to stop him and Stafford from breaking your hearts on their final drive to gift you an undeserved win. Lions I just freaking hate the refs missing obvious shit on crucial late-game plays. KNEECAP STATUS: BITTEN. Epic. COACH of the YEAR🫵 I was 11 years old the last time they did this…the Super Nintendo was released lol Why don't they bring Joseph Kirby to the microphone and have him explain his possible career-ending hits on Tight ends? Two times in three weeks he goes at the knees! Dirty and cheap!!! I don't mind them biting knees, but putting a helmet into the side of a knee is nothing but cheap and dirty. I"'m happy for the Lions, but I can't stand watching cheap shots. I hate that kid saying to pick the wrong call to shut up he is Screwed up to remove on stage He lying.. for political correctness for his current fans. He knows nowhere rocks like the NO. Who DAT that nation.. we are with you Detroit. NOLA. I was here. I'll never forget that Minnesota game. Wild emotion from the whole team. Beautiful story This is the coach this team has been looking for, for over 20 years. It's great to see the emotional support the players and coaching staff have built. Not since Fontes has this team looked so united. I might not have been paying attention when Dan was hired as our head coach. I might not have paid attention to that first year. I might not have paid attention to half of last year. But when I started paying attention and seeing the culture he brought to Detroit, not a winning culture, but a culture of grit, tenacity, and brotherhood I knew we had something special. I don’t want the Lions to win playoff games for the city, for the players, hell not even for our fans. I want the Lions to win for this man right here who has changed this team so much in such a short amount of time. It's not often you get to see the foundation of a dynasty being laid in real-time. I have loved this team unconditionally for 53 years, and I have been laughed at, ridiculed, cast aside, and smocked at. Thank you Dan Campbell I love you for your wisdom, and thank you for your faith and drive in the Lions, and the fans, the fans who have suffered for many decades. We could never have done this without you, and Sheila. I stand proud. What a fantastic video! It brought tears to my eyes as a long-suffering fan of the Detroit Lions. Onward and upward ladies and gentlemen! When Dan Campbell was talking about biting kneecaps in that press conference all the analysts said he was gonna fail miserably, but Lions fans knew that he was a perfect fit. Dan Campbell has led this team out of a legacy of failure and I could not be happier about what he’s done. They should show this video before the Ravens game in the locker room locker room to the whole team. Just so that they can remember how far they've come. 🙂You won’t ever be able to question if the players like the coaches. Just look at how they celebrate their accomplishments. Let alone each other’s accomplishments. If they win (it all) I will be crying my eyes DRY! I am going to have to call in to work for like, a week straight! I love this team! Always have, and always will. If you're a Lions fan and you don't find yourself getting emotional watching this, especially with that touchdown at the end to win the game against the Vikings, then I don't know what to tell you. Man, I teared up there. Brought tears to my eyes man 🥲🥹 That Goff throw/St. The brown catch to beat the Vikings is one of my all-time favorite sporting memories. That win was coming, and it took a while to arrive, but it was coming. Those 11 games without a win showed me Campbell was the right guy because the team played hard for him, and those 11 games built a culture that is bearing fruit now. Let’s. Go. Lions. Great video. Really nails the experience that all Lions fans sat through up through that first win. Great video here with where the Lions are at now. Shit doesn’t turn itself around in 1 year. Cherish what we have now! They’ve earned every bit of it! Let’s go Lions!! Even as a Packers fan, I can't help but root for the Lions. Obviously, I still hope for the Packers to be the best, but if it's gonna be anyone else I'm glad it's Detroit. Cheers. Who put this together? Amazing job! Despite only winning 3 games in 2021, it was clear that the players wanted to win for Campbell. That told me he just might be the guy Detroit needed. I've been a Lions fan since 1989...Dan Campbell is by far, my favorite head coach ever. I love the energy he brings, and the players leave everything on the field for him. He is absolutely one of the best motivators in the game. And to Stephen A. Smith and everyone else who thought Dan Campbell was a terrible hire, you can kindly shut the hell up, LOL I was in the hospital on a ventilator watching the game when Dan got his first win, that game and that man really did give me hope, not only in this franchise but also for me to keep fighting in my recovery, so let me just say this...I LOVE THIS MAN AND I LOVE THIS TEAM!!! 💙I am an immigrant. Learned what is football at the age of 30 as a Detroit resident. Though I moved on from the city after 4 years, Detroit sports franchises are always my teams and it’s my hometown far away from my birthplace. I never left following the Lions, praying for their win every time they played for the past 21 years. There will be no happier person in this world even if they go to the NFC championship, let alone the Super Bowl. Go Lions! Go Detroit! I'm a Chiefs fan, born and raised, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't so happy for Lions fans. My family is from Kansas and Oklahoma, but I was raised in Michigan, and seeing the Lions rise up as they have has made me so happy for you guys. I hope you make it to the Super Bowl this year! This video will never get old. Two years from this victory, the Lions are NFC North Champs for the first time in 30 years and 11-4 There was a huge difference between Matt and Dan. Whenever Matt would lose or hell just in general, the Lions didn’t really like the guy. But with Dan Campbell. Even after 11 weeks of suffering and close losses. As soon as they win one. The players give him the game ball. It’s usually the coach that gives the ball away. But now even after 11 weeks of sucking they still loved and appreciated that coach. So that tells me that it wasn’t his fault. He was trying his best and he was doing his damnedest to try to get this team back up on his feet. Look at what he’s done now. I was a little sketchy at first too. I think everybody was with the 0- 10 -1 record. But as soon as I saw that celebration in the locker room. I had a feeling that we really had our coach. We just weren’t playing well. Look at us now we’re f 5-1 heading into the Ravens. Hopefully, we do win. But if we don’t, that’s fine we’ll be 5-2. But this is honestly the first time in my life where I can honestly say if the Lions lose, I wouldn’t be blaming the curse. I’d be actually saying hey good teams have bad days. We don’t usually say that about the lions We usually just say they’re the same old Lions. I think we’re past that now. Hell, I know we’re past that now. Dan Campbell has always been a player's coach. And with him going 0-16 on the Lions. This is just a perfect story for an NFL team. If you think this is scripted, fuck it, I don’t care let the Detroit Lions have one baby. It’s been a crazy journey. Let’s keep it going Lions!!!!! I can’t believe how much this team has been turned around in just a couple years. I’ve been a Lions fan all my life and to see them, just behind the #1 seed is surreal. I’m so happy for this team. I am so glad we didn’t get rid of Campbell after his first year because we might still be the same old Lions being the worst in the league. WHERE IS THE REST OF THE VIDEO!!!! I’m gonna fricken cry man. Dan Campbell is a monster. Took over a bad bad team and look where he and the boys are now! As a fan of the team, this is my all-time favorite Lions win. We’ve had some awesome games under Campbell since this, but this is my favorite Campbell/Goff win by far, including our most recent W (Bear vs. Lions 11/19/23) where we saw them score 17 pts in under 5 min. Unbelievable, love this team. Campbell could run for Mayor of Detroit and win, easily. Dan not only has turned this team around he impacted so many people in Detroit and bringing the Lions back to life has been a must and more fun to watch. Aren’t you all glad Dan Campbell is the head coach for the Lions?
Man. To watch this after seeing where the Lions have evolved to become is amazing. To turn things around for the organization, the city, and to fans has been a real joy to watch. It feels special now days when I wear my Calvin Johnson jersey. Thank you Mr. Campbell and keep doing what you do. I see you! We see you!
If you're a Lions fan and you don't find yourself getting emotional watching this, especially with that touchdown at the end to win the game against the Vikings, then I don't know what to tell you. Man, I teared up there.
I was at that first win. As a long time fan, I could see the shift in the team as soon as that game was over. This team is gonna be a dominant one for years to come under Dan Campbell.
Great video here with where the Lions are at now. Shit doesn’t turn itself around in 1 year. Cherish what we have now! They’ve earned every bit of it! Let’s go Lions!!
Love this, it’s so good reflecting on where this team has come from and how much Dan Campbell has helped us become a winning team. Even if we lose the rest of our games this season, Dan is a great man who deserves all the love his players give him. The moral of the story is ya gotta be patient. Unless you look toxic like Urban in year 1 ya coach and GM need 3 years to build. If they look like shit in year three then make a move Tear Jerker. Props to Shiela for not listening to the BS & for keeping her trust in the men she chose to do the job… even though the following season with a rough start. I was at that Vikings game. Was my first Lions football game. The feeling when he caught that ball in the end zone with no time left on the clock was awesome. Let’s go Lions! As a 50-year-old Detroiter... I felt this! Been watching these Lions my whole life... I've given up on the Lions 100 times but still watched..went to games and they still lost... this 2023 team has the hearts of this whole city. I am LITERALLY full of pride right now That game, that catch by Amon-Ra, and the way that crowd exploded when he caught that winning TD, those things will always be very special to me. GO LIONS! This was epic. Thanks for this. We have our team. Let's go win a championship. 1Pride The Lions have had cancer for 60 years. Dan Cambel is like a super rare radioactive medicine from another planet that was discovered and it cures cancer. This Lions team this year is the definition of playing as a unit as one...A TEAM! Can't help but get emotional watching this, these guys no matter the record did not quit under MCDC, its so damn good to have a coach that understands this team, and this city and so far has turned the culture around for this team, A true story of triumph from 0-10 to 1-10 never give up guys That ending shows the players still rallied and trusted in Campbell even through that really difficult season. They were building something and they could all feel it and believed in it. Now they're division champs for the first time in 30 years. What a rebuild it was for the Lions. That crowd didn't sound like 1-11-1 That sounded like 11-1-1. Loyalty, dedication, and brotherhood. I have been a fan of the Lions all of my life (31 years old) and I have never been this excited about my team before. We going to the playoffs but first, we beat Baltimore. LETS ROAR LIONS! Crazy that I lived through this and watched all those clips as full games but man seeing the look on the Coach, GM, Ownership face, and tall players was so relieved Man, I wish them all the success in the world. Go Lions!
I've been a Lions fan since 1989...Dan Campbell is by far, my favorite head coach ever. I love the energy he brings, and the players leave everything on the field for him. He is absolutely one of the best motivators in the game. And to Stephen A. Smith, and everyone else who thought Dan Campbell was a terrible hire, you can kindly shut the hell up, LOL
Yea same use listen to pat McAfee but after he insulted and mocked lions because he didn’t get an interview because of his ego. Stopped listening. Especially after rodgers never gave respect to them only eliminated from playoffs by the lions.
Dan Cambell so proved a LOT of people wrong. You can tell he NEVER lost that locker room and this Lions team, they didnt have the talent, but damn they fought hard. Now in 2023-24 the team has heart, character and grit. Oh yeah, a LOT more talent to. LOVE this Lions Team 😍
That Goff throw/St. Brown catch to beat the Vikings is one of my all time favourite sporting memories. That win was coming, and it took a while to arrive, but it was coming. Those 11 games without a win showed me Campbell was the right guy because the team played hard for him, and those 11 games built a culture that is bearing fruit now. Let’s. Go. Lions.
Im a die hard KC fan been all my life but the lions are a force to be reckoned with this year I can see you guys making a superbowl run and winning it all this year but gotta do is t so chiefs Nation baby
I’m a titans fan, and I remember when they played the dolphins years ago when Campbell was moved up to be their interim head coach and the same guy that was passionate now with Detroit was that guy in Miami. I hated that the titans lost but I remember how much passion he showed in that game and idk for some reason it stuck with me. Congrats to him and Detroit, ain’t no reason to stop this Sunday, go all the way baby !!!
I'm not even a Lions fan and that brought tears to my eyes. I don't know about the talking heads but when I heard Dan Campbell say bite their kneecap I was like hell yeah. He was talking about fight and a will to fight and that team has taken on that mentality, built through the trenches. He's done an incredible job.
Yeah, when Max was saying that a real head coach just speaks in platitudes.... Platitudes would not have turned this team around. I've become a Lions fan in recent years - partly cause I always grew up on College football and didn't watch NFL for most of my life, I need somebody to root for - but mostly I've become a Lions fan because of Dan Campbell
man to see this team start this season 8-3 winning games fighting during losses makes me more than happy because i’ve been a lions fan my whole life and i’ve been here since 1-10-1 and too see how this team has grown i want them to get their chance they have been waiting for and they deserve it💙🦁
Love this, it’s so good reflecting on where this team has come from and how much Dan Campbell has helped us become a winning team. Even if we lose the rest of our games this season, Dan is a great man who deserves all the love his players give him.
I love my Lions. Best part, is seeing the genuine happiness of the fans, players, coaching staff, management, and ownership. We all love each other. And it shows. Regardless if we never win the big one, this journey is awesome man. And it starts with Brad and Coach Campbell. On behalf of Lions fans and fans everywhere, thank you gentlemen for teaching us what GRIT is.
Oh watching this video now that we just made it to the NFC championship! Campbell is a hell of a coach. Screw a resume…. Heart, passion and an unwavering will to win.
Watching this after seeing what all the hard work was for. Amazing and you can see Goff sprint to hug campbell after throwing the first game winning TD. Amazing how theyve all stuck together and changed their story
The lions have had cancer for 60 years. Dan cambel is like a super rare radioactive medicine from another planet that was discovered and it cures cancer. This lions team this year is the definition of playing as a unit as one....A TEAM!
I was in the hospital on a ventilator watching the game when Dan got his first win, that game and that man really did give me hope, not only in this franchise but also for me to keep fighting in my recovery, so let me just say this...I LOVE THIS MAN AND I LOVE THIS TEAM!!! 💙
Look at him now. He has his players, and the entire city buying in. And on the cusp of doing something they have NEVER done before. I hope that success continues.
WHERES THE REST OF THE VIDEO!!!! I’m gonna fricken cry man. Dan Campbell is a monster. Took over a bad bad team and look where he and the boys are at now!
Can't help but get emotional watching this, these guys no matter the record did not quit under MCDC, its so damn good to have a coach that understands this team, this city and so far has turned the culture around for this team,
That ending shows the players still rallied and trusted in Campbell even through that really difficult season. They were building something and they could all feel it and believed in it. Now theyre division champs for the first time in 30 years. What a rebuild it was for the lions.
And now we are here after 2 playoff wins! As a born and raised Pats fan and still living in NE, we got fucked up this season but its awesome to see this team rise from the ashes finally get their number called.
I believed in Dan Campbell from the start and I have the same feeling for AP with the Raiders, both deserved success. I'm just a Jags fan but those two coaches made me believe.
Just here in 2024 to ask the analyst that said “Dan Campbell can’t coach”…. Anything to say now? I just think it speaks VOLUMES that when Goff threw that first game winning touchdown, he didn’t celebrate with his teammates, he immediately ran over to hug Dan…. The fact the team gave Dan the game ball in the locker room…. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES. Those players knew there wasn’t gonna be instant success. They knew it would be a grind and they stuck it out and believed in his vision. And look at em now!! Most dominant team in football. Likely on their way to win a Super Bowl. And all of America is rooting for them. The amount of happy tears that will be shed in February when they pull it off will be insane 😂😂 the only people that won’t be rooting for them is the fans of the team they’re facing in that Super Bowl. And most likely it’ll be the chiefs and I think even chiefs fans will give the Lions a standing ovation. Y’all have 3 already in like the past 5 years, if y’all don’t give credit to Detroit when they beat y’all in the SB that would be a bad look.
Now they're one of the best teams in the league, Goff is playing at a MVP caliber level (I'm gonna get flack for that) their offense is clicking, the defense is doing good. Dan really turned the Lions around
What a job this guy has done for this Team/Program/Organization. With just his 4th season otw. Came from the worst-record to a championship contending team. I’m almost certain this will really be there year In the Super Bowl, calling it rn.
I been a fan of the lions all of my life(31yrs old) and I never been this excited about my team like thus before. We going to the playoffs but first we beat Baltimore. LETS ROAR LIONS!
Watching this video a year later when the Lions are currently 8-1 absolutely dominating the NFC. They are doing exactly what Dan Campbell said they were going to do. I'm glad Sheila Ford Hamp did not give up on him.
I'm not from the Detroit area and have never been anywhere near that area, but Dan Campbell has made me fall in love with this team. They are so fun to watch and DC seems like such a great guy.
Moral of the story is ya gotta be patient. Unless you look toxic like Urban in year 1 ya coach and gm needs 3 years to build. If they look like shit in year three then make a move
Even 4 years... 1 year to tear it down and draft... two years of drafting and building... getting the right assistants... and if they arent there by year 3 or 4 like they should be then they gotta go. When i see coaches get canned after a year or two.. im like wtf....
Love hearing all of these show hosts massively changing their tones now that we’re winning more
Everyone wants to be down with the hot teams. Steven A. Smith is even ranking them highly and trying to kiss ass...
We've all been here. Megatron, 0-16, Barry... The constant refs.
All of it. Real fans have been down for a long time. 10, 20, 37, 40, 50, 60+ years. Lions fans know loyalty.
Just remember, these same sports social media influencers of cable news that were so wrong about Dan are now the ones saying they are unstoppable, they don't know anything more today than they did yesterday, they are just riding the hype train and getting eyeballs. Don't give them either. The lions are a great team, but they will stumble, and these same voices will declare the lions broken immediately. There's no money in honest competent analysis, only extremes and personalities.
FUCK EM
And I bet if you mentioned about how negative they were in the beginning of last year, they'd say they weren't. They'd say that they saw a spark in the Lions and they knew they (the Lions) were turning things around. Those commentators would also say they saw it coming. I say they're full of BS!!
@@BastardZombieKiller1Does that make you more of a fan? Have you been wasting your time watching the Tigers and Wings suck too? Wasting away Sunday afternoons for 4 hours got old, now I can’t wait to watch them. Yes I am a fair weather fan.
For me, it was Goff running straight to Coach to hug him like we won the Super Bowl that told me he 100% is the coach this team and city need. Look how far they've come in 2 short years.
And that the game winning TD went to Saint
I feel the exact same. Best JG/Dan moment so far.
Hopefully Goff runs up to him again like that, but in the NFC Championship
@@jr02MIBABY WE ALMOST THERE
We’re in 60 mins away from that reality my friend
I was tearing up after that Vikings win. Seeing Goff run over to celebrate with Dan Campbell first, and the game ball, shows how his players felt about him.
He was and remains the right guy for Detroit.
He is him
it just says what that team feels .now look where they have come to in a short time
If this doesn't hit you in the "feels," you're a football watcher and not a fan. A coach like this will make a good team great, and a great team a champion.
The players and organization love MCDC !!!!!!
You don't need to put feels in quotation marks. It doesn't add anything to the sentence and it looks a bit silly.
@Ivashanko who are you to tell someone how to type a comment? Just curious, am i missing something?
@@Ivashanko Save it for your remedial composition class, this is football, not freshman English.
@Ivashanko and your comment didn't add anything of substance so keep your comments to yourself. None of us care what you say.
That goes to show how much that team loves Dan that they are celebrating their first win after 10 losses
I want this played on the jumbo screen when they play in the super bowl after winning the championship. 🙂
That would be icing on the cake and absolutely EPIC!
I want that to happen so bad for you guys. I feel the same for the Browns
That would be the most emotional day of my life! Lol
Well we are fighting for the championship!
👀
I'll never forget that Minnesota game. Wild emotion from the whole team. Beautiful story
Literally felt like the Super Bowl for Lions fans
I’ll never forget seeing Goffs girlfriend at the time now fiancé’s reaction to it….
Oh but look at Motor City Dan Campbell now! To hell with a resume…. Man has passion, heart, and determination.
He had an excellent resume. He was universally respected by every player he played with even though he was a marginal NFL player. His coaches as a player recognized his leadership, his coaches as peers recognized his talent and ability to lead, he was an interim coach of the Dolphins (did okay with a bad team) and was the assistant HC at New Orleans to an all time great OC and HC.
If that is not a good resume, I don’t know what else to say.
Some may laugh at this, but Dan Campbell is in the process of revolutionalizing NFL football. He is making it fun to watch, and even more importantly, fun to play. He is encouraging creativity and risk taking from his coaches and his players.
I’m not sure if he will leave a bunch of great Head Coaches from his staff, but they will get the chance to prove themselves because of Dan and his success.
Dan has brought the emotion back to a game that was turning into a business and all that that means to what is basically a game.
All of us Lions fans are very grateful that he was asked to be our HC and even happier that he eagerly accepted the job.
This is the coach this teams has been looking for, over 20 years. It's great to see the emotional support the players and coaching staff has built. Not since Fontes has this team looked so united.
20 years more like 50 years since Joe Schmidt resigned back in 1973, I've been waiting for a guy like Dan Campbell to lead the Lions out of the wilderness.
@@TdK71my dad said the same thing, i never thought id see my old man come back around on this team
@@Jack-iu5umafter 40 years of watching them waste players and find ways to lose, this is the first time in nearly half a century of watching this team that I go into games believing we are going to find a way to win.
I am an immigrant. Learned what is football at the age of 30 as a Detroit resident. Though I moved on from the city after 4 years, Detroit sports franchises are always my teams and it’s my home town far away from birth place. I never left following Lions, praying for their win every time they play for the past 21 years. There will be no happiest person in this world even if they go to NFC championship, let alone Super Bowl. Go Lions! Go Detroit!
Well they went to NFC championship game, hopefully this year they go all the way.
Brought tears to my eyes. Lions have been through so much for many many years and watching my team do this good feels great. They haven’t been 5-1 since 2011. If any team deserves a Super Bowl win it’s the Lions.🦁
Totally teared up over here.
@@darrenrocheleau974
Yup. Tears.
The algorithm brought me to you now, so I just wanted to say I'm so happy for you guys! What a time for you all, and you earned it for sure. Keep giving em hell!
You won’t ever be able to question if the players like the coaches. Just look at how they celebrate their accomplishments. Let alone each other’s accomplishments. If they win (it all) I will be crying my eyes DRY! I am going to have to call in to work for like, a week straight! I love this team! Always have, and always will.
Same!!!! ONE PRIDE!!!!
Me too buddy
Brought tears to my eyes man 🥲🥹
Packers fan here. Gone are the days where the Lions were an afterthought in a schedule. Dan Campbell is the fucking man. Good luck!
As a Lions fan in Minneapolis, god this hits different. One Pride Worldwide!
Love it when Shelia was lookin for Dan to celebrate their first win. One Pride ✊
It takes a while to dig yourself out of that deep of a hole and to fix a culture so devoid of success. As they say Rome wasn’t built in a day. I had a friend who was born in 1960 and a huge Lion’s fan owning season tickets for decades. He passed away before ever getting to see his Lions succeed. I hope he is able to see them now.
He is, and he’s got seats money can’t buy.
Im sorry for your loss. If only the past Lions' fans could see the sea of Honolulu Blue during Home games, and the OCEAN of Blue during Away games. LETS GO LIONS!
From a Chiefs fan since 1990. I really, really want Detroit to win a title.
I think the greatest quote that will come out of the Dan Campbell era for the Lions is Aaron Rodgers saying "We're not supposed to lose to THAT team." before Detroit went on to eliminate the Green Bay Packers from going to the playoffs in the 2022 season and chased Rodgers out of the division.
When Dan Campbell was talking about bitting kneecaps in that press conference all the analysts said he was gonna fail miserably, but lions fans knew that he was a perfect fit. Dan Campbell has lead this team out of a legacy of failure and I could not be happier about what he’s done.
I might not have been paying attention when Dan was hired as our head coach. I might not have paid attention to that first year. I might not have paid attention to half of last year. But when I started paying attention, and seeing the culture he brought to Detroit, not a winning culture, but a culture of grit, tenacity, and brotherhood I knew we had something special.
I don’t want the Lions to win playoff games for the city, for the players, hell not even for us fans. I want the Lions to win for this man right here who has changed this team so much in such a short amount of time.
When the lions win the Superbowl, it won't be for us. It won't be for themselves, it won't be for the owner, It won't be for anyone that can read this comment.
When they win the Superbowl it will be for those that never lived to see it. Those that emotionally bled, fought against the doubt, the despair, the apathy, year after year and were never rewarded.
The Lions organization has debts to be paid. IOU's that go back generations, To be honest I figure any fan alive today won't be able to collect on a Superbowl win until at least the 3rd one.
imagine being 0-10-1 first year as a coach and have your player give the game ball to him. For me that´s the moment you know that it will all change. The players still had 100 procent trust in him. Goff runs up hugging him. I saw that season and a lot of thoose loses was so close and I honestly thought 2022 it would be playoff for them. It came 2023 but man I love when you get it done as a team. No divas. No one above the other. Pure team game I LOVE FUCKING LOVE THAT
I have loved this team unconditionally for 53 years, and I have been laughed at, ridiculed, cast aside, and smocked at. Thank you Dan Campbell for your wisdom, thank you for your faith and drive in the Lions, and the fans, the fans who have suffered for many decades. We could never have done this without you, and Sheila. I stand proud.
It's refreshing seeing this team work together so nicely. Can not be more proud of these men. And it starts with the head coach.
Even as a Bill's fan it is still absolutely amazing coming back here after they won their division and first playoff game in over 30 year's. Seriously couldn't be happier for Dan and that fanbase. Max, Stephen. A and Skip are 3 of the biggest goofies in sport's... CONSISTENTLY wrong, yet they keep their job's because "hot take's" sell. #1 reason I rarely, if ever watch sport's media anymore. They don't even believe what they say. They just say what they think will generate the biggest buzz.
Look at the crowd at Ford field at 0 10 1. Full crowd
Thank Jesus that Sheila Hamp didn't hire Eric Bieniemy.
She made one of the best moves in franchise history hiring, Chris Spielman and it was all uphill from there.
Shiela, Spielman, Campbell, and Holmes.
The Mt. Rushmore of the Lions success we're seeing
They should show this video before the Ravens game in the locker room locker room to the whole team. Just so that they can remember how far they've come. 🙂
That’s a great idea, those guys would run through a wall Dan.
They already know how far they’ve come. Detroit Super Bowl bound
Love my Lions but this comment wouldn't have aged well.
@@keithharris3143 unfortunately the Ravens opened a can on the Lions. 😑
@@LongListOfErrors Right, it's all good tho, we're still in a great position 👍🏾
The most underrated quote from that day 1 press conference was DC telling us he was going to give the city a team that we could be proud of. The whole state of Michigan and much of the country is proud of this team. I can’t wait to talk about this team every single Monday. Thank you Dan, Brad and Sheila.
WE KEEP ALL THE FUCKING RECEIPTS!!! Detroit standing in business and now everyone wants a piece of the cake.
and as of today January 6th 2025 the Lions ended the season 15-2 last night and are the #1 seed in the NFC. ROLL ON LIONS!! what a story----love this video to remind us how far we have come----not even in the past 60 years that we have, but even in the past 4 years! Incredible.
To see how far Dan and this team has come is truly touching. Go lions!
You can't help but love Dan Campbell. This guy is the real deal. No hype, full transparency, profound leadership, and true grit! He was made for Detroit. Something is going on folks, a much bigger picture is that play, a team currently known for not winning anything past maybe a wild-card game in the postseason, finds its way to a playoff, that's called a wall being torn down to the next level, this is a road to victory The encouragement here is to be eyes wide, there's a spiritual anthropomorphism at play here...Campbell! The Lousy Lions couldn't even cover a 3-point spread! They didn't deserve to win after Coasting in the 2nd half!!! Enjoy this win because it will be the LAST this season. My money will be on either the Eagles or the Bucs next game!! This coach is a true leader. This is what’s wrong with the league, I swear Lions fans were just calling for refs' heads and all of a sudden refs aren’t the problem and the Rams should cry some more… It’s in the script for them to go to the NFC championship See Lions fans: it’s not so bad to be screwed over by the refs in the reg season at Jerry World, so long as they make it up to you by looking the other way when your team uses Puka Nacua’s jersey to finally be able to stop him and Stafford from breaking your hearts on their final drive to gift you an undeserved win. Lions I just freaking hate the refs missing obvious shit on crucial late-game plays. KNEECAP STATUS: BITTEN. Epic. COACH of the YEAR🫵 I was 11 years old the last time they did this…the Super Nintendo was released lol Why don't they bring Joseph Kirby to the microphone and have him explain his possible career-ending hits on Tight ends? Two times in three weeks he goes at the knees! Dirty and cheap!!! I don't mind them biting knees, but putting a helmet into the side of a knee is nothing but cheap and dirty. I"'m happy for the Lions, but I can't stand watching cheap shots. I hate that kid saying to pick the wrong call to shut up he is Screwed up to remove on stage He lying.. for political correctness for his current fans. He knows nowhere rocks like the NO. Who DAT that nation.. we are with you Detroit. NOLA. I was here. I'll never forget that Minnesota game. Wild emotion from the whole team. Beautiful story This is the coach this team has been looking for, for over 20 years. It's great to see the emotional support the players and coaching staff have built.

Always have, and always will. If you're a Lions fan and you don't find yourself getting emotional watching this, especially with that touchdown at the end to win the game against the Vikings, then I don't know what to tell you. Man, I teared up there. Brought tears to my eyes man 🥲🥹 That Goff throw/St. The brown catch to beat the Vikings is one of my all-time favorite sporting memories. That win was coming, and it took a while to arrive, but it was coming. Those 11 games without a win showed me Campbell was the right guy because the team played hard for him, and those 11 games built a culture that is bearing fruit now. Let’s. Go. Lions. Great video. Really nails the experience that all Lions fans sat through up through that first win. Great video here with where the Lions are at now. Shit doesn’t turn itself around in 1 year. Cherish what we have now! They’ve earned every bit of it! Let’s go Lions!! Even as a Packers fan, I can't help but root for the Lions. Obviously, I still hope for the Packers to be the best, but if it's gonna be anyone else I'm glad it's Detroit. Cheers. Who put this together? Amazing job! Despite only winning 3 games in 2021, it was clear that the players wanted to win for Campbell. That told me he just might be the guy Detroit needed. I've been a Lions fan since 1989...Dan Campbell is by far, my favorite head coach ever. I love the energy he brings, and the players leave everything on the field for him. He is absolutely one of the best motivators in the game. And to Stephen A. Smith and everyone else who thought Dan Campbell was a terrible hire, you can kindly shut the hell up, LOL I was in the hospital on a ventilator watching the game when Dan got his first win, that game and that man really did give me hope, not only in this franchise but also for me to keep fighting in my recovery, so let me just say this...I LOVE THIS MAN AND I LOVE THIS TEAM!!! 💙I am an immigrant. Learned what is football at the age of 30 as a Detroit resident. Though I moved on from the city after 4 years, Detroit sports franchises are always my teams and it’s my hometown far away from my birthplace. I never left following the Lions, praying for their win every time they played for the past 21 years. There will be no happier person in this world even if they go to the NFC championship, let alone the Super Bowl. Go Lions! Go Detroit! I'm a Chiefs fan, born and raised, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't so happy for Lions fans. My family is from Kansas and Oklahoma, but I was raised in Michigan, and seeing the Lions rise up as they have has made me so happy for you guys. I hope you make it to the Super Bowl this year! This video will never get old. Two years from this victory, the Lions are NFC North Champs for the first time in 30 years and 11-4 There was a huge difference between Matt and Dan. Whenever Matt would lose or hell just in general, the Lions didn’t really like the guy. But with Dan Campbell. Even after 11 weeks of suffering and close losses. As soon as they win one. The players give him the game ball. It’s usually the coach that gives the ball away. But now even after 11 weeks of sucking they still loved and appreciated that coach. So that tells me that it wasn’t his fault. He was trying his best and he was doing his damnedest to try to get this team back up on his feet. Look at what he’s done now. I was a little sketchy at first too. I think everybody was with the 0- 10 -1 record. But as soon as I saw that celebration in the locker room. I had a feeling that we really had our coach. We just weren’t playing well. Look at us now we’re f 5-1 heading into the Ravens. Hopefully, we do win. But if we don’t, that’s fine we’ll be 5-2. But this is honestly the first time in my life where I can honestly say if the Lions lose, I wouldn’t be blaming the curse. I’d be actually saying hey good teams have bad days. We don’t usually say that about the lions We usually just say they’re the same old Lions. I think we’re past that now. Hell, I know we’re past that now. Dan Campbell has always been a player's coach. And with him going 0-16 on the Lions. This is just a perfect story for an NFL team. If you think this is scripted, fuck it, I don’t care let the Detroit Lions have one baby. It’s been a crazy journey. Let’s keep it going Lions!!!!! I can’t believe how much this team has been turned around in just a couple years. I’ve been a Lions fan all my life and to see them, just behind the #1 seed is surreal. I’m so happy for this team. I am so glad we didn’t get rid of Campbell after his first year because we might still be the same old Lions being the worst in the league. WHERE IS THE REST OF THE VIDEO!!!! I’m gonna fricken cry man. Dan Campbell is a monster. Took over a bad bad team and look where he and the boys are now! As a fan of the team, this is my all-time favorite Lions win. We’ve had some awesome games under Campbell since this, but this is my favorite Campbell/Goff win by far, including our most recent W (Bear vs. Lions 11/19/23) where we saw them score 17 pts in under 5 min. Unbelievable, love this team. Campbell could run for Mayor of Detroit and win, easily. Dan not only has turned this team around he impacted so many people in Detroit and bringing the Lions back to life has been a must and more fun to watch. Aren’t you all glad Dan Campbell is the head coach for the Lions?
Paragraphs are your friend.
Man. To watch this after seeing where the Lions have evolved to become is amazing. To turn things around for the organization, the city, and to fans has been a real joy to watch. It feels special now days when I wear my Calvin Johnson jersey.
Thank you Mr. Campbell and keep doing what you do. I see you! We see you!
Despite only winning 3 games in 2021, it was clear that the players wanted to win for Campbell. That told me he just might be the guy Detroit needed.
This video will never get old. Two years from this victory, and the Lions are NFC North Champs for the first time in 30 years and 11-4
This shit made me cry with tears in my eyes right now as I write this. Let’s go boys! Lions going to the playoffs!!
Yes! Same brother!
Yes sir Let's Go Lions 🦁
If you're a Lions fan and you don't find yourself getting emotional watching this, especially with that touchdown at the end to win the game against the Vikings, then I don't know what to tell you. Man, I teared up there.
It's not often you get to see the foundation of a dynasty being laid in real time.
let's chill a little bit and see if they can win a playoff game first lol
@@zaedrah3378Nah man, this team is legit. Anyone who knows ball can see that 💯
Not around Detroit land, lol. I'm feeling that dynasty thing too; this team is good.
Bro on that copium
@@FrankYammy suck my copium!
The King in the North!
I swear, Dan Campbell was placed here by the hand of God. Honestly, it’s the ultimate sports story. Just gotta cap it off with that Super Bowl.
He says a prayer and thanks God after every game with the entire team in the locker room.
What a fantastic video! It brought tears to my eyes as a long-suffering fan of the Detroit Lions. Onward and upward ladies and gentlemen!
I was at that first win. As a long time fan, I could see the shift in the team as soon as that game was over. This team is gonna be a dominant one for years to come under Dan Campbell.
Great video here with where the Lions are at now. Shit doesn’t turn itself around in 1 year. Cherish what we have now! They’ve earned every bit of it! Let’s go Lions!!
Love this, it’s so good reflecting on where this team has come from and how much Dan Campbell has helped us become a winning team. Even if we lose the rest of our games this season, Dan is a great man who deserves all the love his players give him. The moral of the story is ya gotta be patient. Unless you look toxic like Urban in year 1 ya coach and GM need 3 years to build. If they look like shit in year three then make a move Tear Jerker. Props to Shiela for not listening to the BS & for keeping her trust in the men she chose to do the job… even though the following season with a rough start. I was at that Vikings game. Was my first Lions football game. The feeling when he caught that ball in the end zone with no time left on the clock was awesome. Let’s go Lions! As a 50-year-old Detroiter... I felt this! Been watching these Lions my whole life... I've given up on the Lions 100 times but still watched..went to games and they still lost... this 2023 team has the hearts of this whole city. I am LITERALLY full of pride right now That game, that catch by Amon-Ra, and the way that crowd exploded when he caught that winning TD, those things will always be very special to me. GO LIONS! This was epic. Thanks for this. We have our team. Let's go win a championship. 1Pride The Lions have had cancer for 60 years. Dan Cambel is like a super rare radioactive medicine from another planet that was discovered and it cures cancer. This Lions team this year is the definition of playing as a unit as one...A TEAM! Can't help but get emotional watching this, these guys no matter the record did not quit under MCDC, its so damn good to have a coach that understands this team, and this city and so far has turned the culture around for this team, A true story of triumph from 0-10 to 1-10 never give up guys That ending shows the players still rallied and trusted in Campbell even through that really difficult season. They were building something and they could all feel it and believed in it. Now they're division champs for the first time in 30 years. What a rebuild it was for the Lions. That crowd didn't sound like 1-11-1 That sounded like 11-1-1. Loyalty, dedication, and brotherhood. I have been a fan of the Lions all of my life (31 years old) and I have never been this excited about my team before. We going to the playoffs but first, we beat Baltimore. LETS ROAR LIONS! Crazy that I lived through this and watched all those clips as full games but man seeing the look on the Coach, GM, Ownership face, and tall players was so relieved Man, I wish them all the success in the world. Go Lions!
Great video. Really nails the experience that all Lions fans sat through up through that first win.
Sowing seeds that will yield a hell of a harvest.
Absolutely outstanding statement my friend. 👍
That first win they bonded as a team and its been all forward from that moment.
I've been a Lions fan since 1989...Dan Campbell is by far, my favorite head coach ever. I love the energy he brings, and the players leave everything on the field for him. He is absolutely one of the best motivators in the game.
And to Stephen A. Smith, and everyone else who thought Dan Campbell was a terrible hire, you can kindly shut the hell up, LOL
Yea same use listen to pat McAfee but after he insulted and mocked lions because he didn’t get an interview because of his ego.
Stopped listening.
Especially after rodgers never gave respect to them only eliminated from playoffs by the lions.
2 years later, we’re playing the niners in the NFC Championship
Dan Cambell so proved a LOT of people wrong. You can tell he NEVER lost that locker room and this Lions team, they didnt have the talent, but damn they fought hard. Now in 2023-24 the team has heart, character and grit. Oh yeah, a LOT more talent to. LOVE this Lions Team 😍
That win is what killed the same old lions. Owner/GM/coach all on the same page. So f’n happy to be a Lions fan. One Pride!
That Goff throw/St. Brown catch to beat the Vikings is one of my all time favourite sporting memories. That win was coming, and it took a while to arrive, but it was coming. Those 11 games without a win showed me Campbell was the right guy because the team played hard for him, and those 11 games built a culture that is bearing fruit now. Let’s. Go. Lions.
A true story of triumph from 0-10 to 1-10 never give up guys
Im a die hard KC fan been all my life but the lions are a force to be reckoned with this year I can see you guys making a superbowl run and winning it all this year but gotta do is t so chiefs Nation baby
I’m a titans fan, and I remember when they played the dolphins years ago when Campbell was moved up to be their interim head coach and the same guy that was passionate now with Detroit was that guy in Miami. I hated that the titans lost but I remember how much passion he showed in that game and idk for some reason it stuck with me. Congrats to him and Detroit, ain’t no reason to stop this Sunday, go all the way baby !!!
I'm not even a Lions fan and that brought tears to my eyes. I don't know about the talking heads but when I heard Dan Campbell say bite their kneecap I was like hell yeah. He was talking about fight and a will to fight and that team has taken on that mentality, built through the trenches.
He's done an incredible job.
Yeah, when Max was saying that a real head coach just speaks in platitudes.... Platitudes would not have turned this team around.
I've become a Lions fan in recent years - partly cause I always grew up on College football and didn't watch NFL for most of my life, I need somebody to root for - but mostly I've become a Lions fan because of Dan Campbell
man to see this team start this season 8-3 winning games fighting during losses makes me more than happy because i’ve been a lions fan my whole life and i’ve been here since 1-10-1 and too see how this team has grown i want them to get their chance they have been waiting for and they deserve it💙🦁
Never lose faith. He is a true legend going through adversity. Love DC keep fighting
Laugh all you want...
Dan did exactly what he said he wanted to do for this team and these guys!
Imagine boys - we could do it!
Damn. Something got in my eye when I watched this. Well done.
Love this, it’s so good reflecting on where this team has come from and how much Dan Campbell has helped us become a winning team. Even if we lose the rest of our games this season, Dan is a great man who deserves all the love his players give him.
I love my Lions.
Best part, is seeing the genuine happiness of the fans, players, coaching staff, management, and ownership. We all love each other. And it shows.
Regardless if we never win the big one, this journey is awesome man.
And it starts with Brad and Coach Campbell.
On behalf of Lions fans and fans everywhere, thank you gentlemen for teaching us what GRIT is.
Oh watching this video now that we just made it to the NFC championship! Campbell is a hell of a coach. Screw a resume…. Heart, passion and an unwavering will to win.
I'm not crying, you're crying! 😂Little did we know how big Goff to St. Brown was going to get, GO LIONS LFG!!!
Who put this together? Amazing job!
Watching this after seeing what all the hard work was for. Amazing and you can see Goff sprint to hug campbell after throwing the first game winning TD. Amazing how theyve all stuck together and changed their story
I'm ride or die about everything Detroit, especially my Lions! We have long memories, and we don't forget!
Detroit vs Everybody 🦁
The true definition of remember where you came from! GG Lions
The lions have had cancer for 60 years. Dan cambel is like a super rare radioactive medicine from another planet that was discovered and it cures cancer. This lions team this year is the definition of playing as a unit as one....A TEAM!
I was in the hospital on a ventilator watching the game when Dan got his first win, that game and that man really did give me hope, not only in this franchise but also for me to keep fighting in my recovery, so let me just say this...I LOVE THIS MAN AND I LOVE THIS TEAM!!! 💙
Dan the man ❤ love him so great for the Lions they need to keep him around for ever. If they ever get rid of him i won't be Detroit Lions fan anymore
Look at him now. He has his players, and the entire city buying in. And on the cusp of doing something they have NEVER done before. I hope that success continues.
WHERES THE REST OF THE VIDEO!!!! I’m gonna fricken cry man. Dan Campbell is a monster. Took over a bad bad team and look where he and the boys are at now!
Can't help but get emotional watching this, these guys no matter the record did not quit under MCDC, its so damn good to have a coach that understands this team, this city and so far has turned the culture around for this team,
It hit different when u cried during the mad season hard work pay off
We love Dan Campbell🖤💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I always comeback to this video Win or lose. To where DC changed the culture of this team, the people, and this city.
That ending shows the players still rallied and trusted in Campbell even through that really difficult season. They were building something and they could all feel it and believed in it. Now theyre division champs for the first time in 30 years. What a rebuild it was for the lions.
And now we are here after 2 playoff wins! As a born and raised Pats fan and still living in NE, we got fucked up this season but its awesome to see this team rise from the ashes finally get their number called.
I believed in Dan Campbell from the start and I have the same feeling for AP with the Raiders, both deserved success.
I'm just a Jags fan but those two coaches made me believe.
Just here in 2024 to ask the analyst that said “Dan Campbell can’t coach”…. Anything to say now?
I just think it speaks VOLUMES that when Goff threw that first game winning touchdown, he didn’t celebrate with his teammates, he immediately ran over to hug Dan…. The fact the team gave Dan the game ball in the locker room…. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES. Those players knew there wasn’t gonna be instant success. They knew it would be a grind and they stuck it out and believed in his vision. And look at em now!! Most dominant team in football. Likely on their way to win a Super Bowl. And all of America is rooting for them. The amount of happy tears that will be shed in February when they pull it off will be insane 😂😂 the only people that won’t be rooting for them is the fans of the team they’re facing in that Super Bowl. And most likely it’ll be the chiefs and I think even chiefs fans will give the Lions a standing ovation. Y’all have 3 already in like the past 5 years, if y’all don’t give credit to Detroit when they beat y’all in the SB that would be a bad look.
Today Dan campbell and the Lions remind me of Mike Ditka and the 1985 Bears and you know how that year ended YEAR OF THE CAT BABY, GO LIONS
2023 reminds me of 1984 bears where bears got to NFC title game and lost 49ers 2024:lions remind me of 85 bears
This was epic. Thanks for this. We have our team. Let's go win a championship. 1Pride
Now they're one of the best teams in the league, Goff is playing at a MVP caliber level (I'm gonna get flack for that) their offense is clicking, the defense is doing good. Dan really turned the Lions around
How far we have come, and this hasn’t aged well! GO LIONS!!
Gave me chills. LFG Lions!
It’s been a crazy journey. Let’s keep it going Lions!!!!!
What a job this guy has done for this Team/Program/Organization. With just his 4th season otw. Came from the worst-record to a championship contending team. I’m almost certain this will really be there year In the Super Bowl, calling it rn.
Now they are Super Bowl favorites
Its crazy hearing Stephen A Smith shit on the lions when he just said the other day that theyre the best team in the NFL.
Up until this week he kept insisting the Lions are going to implode every game. Hes one of those that had Detroit losing every game on their schedule.
I been a fan of the lions all of my life(31yrs old) and I never been this excited about my team like thus before. We going to the playoffs but first we beat Baltimore. LETS ROAR LIONS!
That was the game that woke a SLEEPING GIANT 🎯💪🎯💪🎯
Watching this video a year later when the Lions are currently 8-1 absolutely dominating the NFC. They are doing exactly what Dan Campbell said they were going to do. I'm glad Sheila Ford Hamp did not give up on him.
That was in 2021 not a year ago
And look at us NOW BABYYYY!!!!!!
Started to cry when they gave the game ball to their coach.
I'm not from the Detroit area and have never been anywhere near that area, but Dan Campbell has made me fall in love with this team. They are so fun to watch and DC seems like such a great guy.
Coach of the year
Moral of the story is ya gotta be patient. Unless you look toxic like Urban in year 1 ya coach and gm needs 3 years to build. If they look like shit in year three then make a move
True 👍
Even 4 years... 1 year to tear it down and draft... two years of drafting and building... getting the right assistants... and if they arent there by year 3 or 4 like they should be then they gotta go. When i see coaches get canned after a year or two.. im like wtf....
This was beautiful! Emotional video and a testament to the heart and beautiful spirit of Dan Campbell soon to be 2023-24 Coach of the year
That crowd didn't sound like 1-11-1
That sounded like 11-1-1.
Loyalty, dedication, and brotherhood.
