It’s weird. This coaching staff with BJ and Goff at QB are in the main excellent in the red zone. When we had Stafford, we used to be so frustrating in the red zone and I have never really put that on Matthew but more a ****ty run game and bad OCs. So it feels a little weird that we won this game because Stafford/McVey failed 3 x in that exact spot.
Lions win and I even won substantial money on my pessimism parley
Rams +3.5
Stafford over 260.5 yds
Stafford 1.5TDs +
Nacua over 78.5 yds
Free money

I don't bet, but that doesn't seem right.
I don't see the Texans having much of a chance. Browns were the best possible opponent other than maybe Pittsburgh for them.
Lions on the other hand have a great shot.

I would take the +10 but I lost my Lions -3 bet so what do I know...

Great game
8 possessions for each team
each ran 55 plays
kind of game I was hoping for
Goff was clutch

That’s not me saying I think it will happen, rather it would be fun if it did.

did we get the answer?
only QB to win a playoff game & then subsequently beat his old team = Jared Goff?

And still alive for this parlay:
KC-4, GB +7.5, LAR +3.5, KC U44, HOU +3.5 and a bet I shall not name so as to avoid the jinx.
Next game on Peacock. First round was a success.

Fully expecting Niners/Lions.
Should be an exciting matchup. Also Campbell vs Shanny. Two of the most exciting coaches.
And as brutal as it is, the winner likely faces Baltimore. Oof.

They can literally make up a number. It means nothing. They're trying to justify their existence to their investors.

Love it. Wish us middlebrow chasers had access to MPH data. That would change quite a bit in our rookie drafts, I think.

Compared to an end game scenario where the Rams have 1st & goal at the ~15, 3 shots at going up 7 (assuming they go for 2) with ~2 mins for the Lions to try to score?You never know.

I get it. End game scenario seems more important. the Non call changed everything as well is my point. Detroit would have scored. And then the whole game is different.Compared to an end game scenario where the Rams have 1st & goal at the ~15, 3 shots at going up 7 (assuming they go for 2) with ~2 mins for the Lions to try to score?You never know.

They kind of were. The encroachment call would have given the Lions a first down just outside of FG range. In both cases we are talking about setting teams up with first downs in position to add points.These two calls were not the same significance.the obvious encroachment non call early in the game completely altered the course of the game as well.

I don’t disagree with that, but context matters. 4th quarter, 4 mins amplifies the significance of the blown call.

If you miss the playoffs by 1 game, is the loss at the beginning or the end of the season more significanr?

All 22 Films pointed out one of the reasons Sutton didn't get the DPI call with 4 minutes left is he wore gloves the exact same color as the Rams uniform
That's not coincidence - that's a thing
With a different officiating crew this game is way different
Lions outside corners were terrible, every time Puka came all the way across he ran an in breaker (like 8 out of 9 times), Sutton biting on the first move on 3rd & 1 was a blown coverage by the S, nobody came over for the handoff coverage, easy 50 yard TD
Vildor got isolated by motion on the Tutu Atwell TD, once again just got beat cleanly in man coverage, 38 yard TD
On another play the Lions completely blew the coverage on Kupp, he was all alone on the sideline but Hutch pressured Stafford into a throwaway
They did enough to earn the win but it's obvious if they keep playing aggressive man coverage they'll give up explosives - need to see more variance in the coverage looks
For the most part - until the Rams 7th possession I think - the Lions played exactly the way they want in terms of stopping the run and forcing the Rams to rely on Stafford; only gave up 68 yards, and on the year no back has gained more than 69 yards rushing (Kyren went 13-61)
As much as the defense got torched, though, the Red Zone D was the difference - Lions went 3/3 in the RZ, Rams went 0/3 - plus 2 defensive stops ended up being enough (before the game I thought the Lions would need 4-5 on 10 possessions but bc the offense sustained drives we held them to 8 possessions)
Thank you Packers - can't believe we get another home game (TBH I felt pretty good about going back to Dallas, held them to 20 last time and were in it even though our offense wasn't clicking)
That's not coincidence - that's a thing
With a different officiating crew this game is way different
- the phantom false start was huge, Rams were terrible in coverage and never stopped Detroit in the first half
- I think on Puka's 35 yarder (might have been another play, I'll have to watch again) Hutch got tackled, no holding call
- definitely should have been roughing the passer on 3rd down on Alim McNeil (the Hutch hit was fine) when Stafford got bounced to the turf
- late DPI would have kept the Rams last possession going

Really good game! Congrats to the Lions and their fans! Great to see them finally get a playoff win. A few tough calls both ways, but they seemed to even out, and the Lions being better in the red zone was the difference.
