Congrats Lions fans. You absolutely deserve this.
Congrats on making the AFCCG for the 6th straight year
That’s gotta be more fun than once every 32
Congrats Lions fans. You absolutely deserve this.
I will be there with my best bud! Tickets all booked from Phoenix.I was debating going to SF for the game, or coming to Detroit to watch it at a bar or the stadium or wherever.
Decision made. I want to be with my peeps. Detroit trip booked!
The Lions are hosting an NFC Championship watch party at Ford Field on Sunday.
Someone in the SF thread pointed out than until coming from behind vs GB, Shanahan was 0-30 in games trailing heading into the 4th quarter.The Lions led the Rams for 49:30; took the lead on the opening drive and never relinquished it.
Yesterday Detroit led ~ just under 33 minutes and it was tied 27.xx minutes.
They have not trailed in this preseason.
Not trailing, but trailing by like 5 or 6 or something. Heres some coaches records when trailing by 3+ going into the 4th quarter, since 2017:Someone in the SF thread pointed out than until coming from behind vs GB, Shanahan was 0-30 in games trailing heading into the 4th quarter.The Lions led the Rams for 49:30; took the lead on the opening drive and never relinquished it.

Shanahan: 1-29
McVay: 3-25
Harbaugh: 4-21
Belichick: 4-25
Everyone killing Shanahan over this, but the NFL average is 13.3 win percentage in that situation. Shanahan's at 3.3%.
Excellent podcast, a lot of good insight.The one segment on 97.1 The Ticket I try to always catch. They do a good job and it’s easy to appreciate that they actually know what they’re talking about. 17 years as NFL OL starters between them.
Today was an exceptionally good episode. Although it’s possible I’m just in an exceptionally good mood.

Making 6 straight Final 4's is absolutely Duke like.Congrats Lions fans. You absolutely deserve this.

Yesterday's game was probably a better one to get caught up in the crowd. Not just because the crowd was awesome, but the minutiae of the game wasn't a lot of fun. Bucs were killing us statistically until the 4th quarter, and watching the replays and looking at the numbers was making me super nervous. But we never actually trailed, and I probably wouldn't have been worried if I was there yelling with a bunch of other Detroit fans.I will admit going to the game in person is great for all the hoopla and energy and I would not trade today for anything..but for watching the actual game, concentrating on the play by play, at home on a big screen is better. At the game you get caught up in the crowd, the TV timeouts seemed so long today.
That seems like a recipe for success, they should do that next game too.The Lions led the Rams for 49:30; took the lead on the opening drive and never relinquished it.

Interesting, it felt to me like we were always in control. Being tied at half was annoying but it felt like things were coming much easier for the Lions than the Bucs. I was also in a packed bar that was loud and energetic so maybe that eliminated any worries.Yesterday's game was probably a better one to get caught up in the crowd.

I watched it at Hermanns in Plymouth. I didn't miss a single play. Everyone there was 100% locked into every play. There was a lot of singing, dancing on the bar, just general pandemonium. It was one of the funnest days of my life.Interesting, it felt to me like we were always in control.

I was concerned but felt the game was somewhat in control. Was worried though about the way Sutton was getting burned.
Used to go to bars to watch games all the time until the last couple of years. I like the noise and energy but in big games like Michigan's playoff game and the National title game I wanted to stay home and watch with only a couple people. Same with last weeks Lions game. At parties and bars i get too distracted.
I watched the Lions game today and did not realize how much game I actually missed sitting at the game. The crowd energy was awesome but I got caught up in it, drinking a few beers, talking to people. Again the TV timeouts are killers at the game. At home you don`t realize because you get up, get something from the fridge or whatever. Where did you watch it at?
We went to Nemos for a beer after and it was jamming.

I'd appreciate you posting how to get tickets once they go on sale. I'll be looking but I have a feeling you'll know before me. Hell, you'll probably know before the Lions know...

I stand by what I said a few weeks ago that he should have been in the MVP conversation. Of course an OL isn't winning it but he deserved to have his name in the discourse given how wide open the field was this year.Mauling people.

TJ and Jansen were talking about Penei today (link upthread) and they’re both amazed how easy it is for him right now. “He’s like a lion playing with his food, you almost wonder if he’s bored. Just dominating every snap.”
That’s not a couple homers, that is a 7-year and a 10-year NFL OL starters. They were saying he’s playing in a way they’re unfamiliar with, it’s at such a high level.

Oh I'm going no matter what if we make it.If Super Bowl tickets were not $8000, I would have flown to vegas for the Super Bowl
If they had Gibbs or especially Monty back there I would have guessed a run. By using the #3 guy maybe the defense assumed he was there as a blocking back for a passing play.Who brings in their seldom utilized RB3 on 4th and goal at the 1 and then give him the carry on a dive play?
When the top 2 have 27 TDs lol….Campbell was nonchalant today….”well that package called for Craig to run it, so….thats what we did.”
You know how the benefit of buying a lottery ticket isn't that you might win -- you won't -- but that it allows you to indulge in the fantasy of what you'd do if you did? There's no way I could meet up with my dad in Vegas for the Super Bowl; financial constraints aside, my mom is not in great shape and it would be too much for him to leave her for the weekend. But if the Lions win on Sunday, will that stop me from pricing out the entire trip just to keep the dream alive for a little bit longer?

So I should buy airline tickets and get a room just in case?
I’m not a Lions fan but I was almost in tears watching that. These guys exude passion and hope. I really, really hope you guys seal the deal this year. Honestly I can’t recall a time I’ve been this invested in a team that wasn’t the team I normally root for.
I’ve booked my room, but I can cancel any time. And airfare is basically free for me since I travel so much.You know how the benefit of buying a lottery ticket isn't that you might win -- you won't -- but that it allows you to indulge in the fantasy of what you'd do if you did?

Wow
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised
Detroit set records for highest priced Wild Card ticket ever, and then highest priced Division Round ticket ever

Love how the second longest explosive of the game was Brock Wright on a TE leak.
Every other final four team plays hero ball; Detroit is a team effort across the board.
