Tell 'em about the Twinkie.....
December 24th, 2023 at 7:28 PM ^
That's a big Twinkie!
December 24th, 2023 at 8:08 PM ^
It’s true. This man has no dick.
December 25th, 2023 at 10:45 AM ^
Wait! Did dickless release all the demons of Lions past?
December 24th, 2023 at 4:40 PM ^
Lions lying down with the lambs?
December 25th, 2023 at 10:47 AM ^
I loved that start of that season . . .
ended with Dick Purtan playing "Another One Beats Our Butts".
December 24th, 2023 at 8:40 PM ^
The Lions did almost everything they could to give this game away. But a win is a win and there are no such thing as style points in the NFL. Congrats, Lions!
December 24th, 2023 at 4:29 PM ^
P O S B A N G !

Some enjoyable comps to the Michigan win over osu:
- both games ended 30-24.
- both ended on an INT inside the 30 yd line very late in the game.
- both games were division clinching.
Fun day!!!
December 24th, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
and would you look at that: dallas lost to the fins. we can lock up home field for all but the NFC championship game, assuming the niners make it that far (highly likely)
December 25th, 2023 at 12:40 AM ^
Both were clinching, and I was clenching! 😀
December 25th, 2023 at 4:17 PM ^
And both interceptions on passes intended for #18.
December 24th, 2023 at 4:29 PM ^
Reminds me of the UM win over osu, 6 point win sealed with INT inside the 25. Great win. Exact same score, too.
Side note, I hate when defensive players try to scoop and score when change of possession wins the game. Just fall on the damn ball! Almost cost them the game.
December 24th, 2023 at 4:32 PM ^
Exactly, just fall on the damn ball!!
Lions won but it was not pretty down the stretch....
December 24th, 2023 at 4:37 PM ^
(1) thought the same thing in real time. Just like UM
(2) if you did that for my HS or college coach and did NOT fall on it - good luck the next day during punishment runs.
ALWAYS FALL ON THE BALL!
December 24th, 2023 at 8:21 PM ^
Good advice for Blake O'Neill
December 24th, 2023 at 10:59 PM ^
Too soon...
December 25th, 2023 at 10:49 AM ^
I suspect it will always be too soon for me. Maybe the younger fans will get over it someday.
December 24th, 2023 at 4:57 PM ^
Not to mention MHJ = Jefferson. Even had a huge catch on the last drive before Detroit called game.
December 24th, 2023 at 5:13 PM ^
I imagine Jack Campbell has/will hear all about it. Be the hero by ending the game. Fall on the ball.
December 24th, 2023 at 5:16 PM ^
cominskey?
December 24th, 2023 at 5:58 PM ^
John Cominsky
December 25th, 2023 at 12:19 AM ^
Kaminski had it but tried to scoops and score
December 24th, 2023 at 6:25 PM ^
I said the same thing. Don’t try to be a hero. Just fall on the ball and end the game.
December 24th, 2023 at 7:31 PM ^
This exactly. A scoop-n-score is fun, but it actually does slightly less to seal the game. The winning play is fall on the ball.
December 24th, 2023 at 4:32 PM ^
Everything’s coming up Milhouse!
Honolulu Blue and Silver, baby!

T-shirt? Keep "Kool-Aid" and "Soup"?
December 24th, 2023 at 8:18 PM ^
vlady,
you owe me $1 from the game thread. told you the lions would make the playoffs.
December 24th, 2023 at 4:34 PM ^
The surface is blue
And the dark interweaves
In a lonely iridescence
It's terribly deep
And the cold is complete
And it only lacks your presence
And nothing else
December 24th, 2023 at 4:34 PM ^
Love this team - they win all the games the old Lions used to lose.
On to the playoffs - and beyond!
December 24th, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
These are different new lions. SOL are dead.
December 24th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
I find I still have the old expectations. On that last drive I was sure the Vikes would score. It wasn’t “if”. It was “how”. Because the Lions have lost so many games at Minny and last year was a classic Lions collapse. I know they aren’t SOL logically but I have three decades of emotional conditioning to overcome.
December 24th, 2023 at 6:35 PM ^
That Kool-Aid’s looking mighty tempting, but I’ve been burned many times in my 66 years. It sure would nice, but I’m going to hold off until we win a playoff game. Save me a glass.
December 25th, 2023 at 12:19 PM ^
This. I am expecting the ultimate dong punch here. Lions win out, Niners lose 2 of 3, Lions get #1 overall, and are considered serious Super Bowl contenders, if not outright favorites. Then comes a heartbreaking loss in the first playoff game ever at Ford Field, and it’s a brand new Same Old Lions.
December 24th, 2023 at 4:34 PM ^
Congratulations Lions and Lions fans
December 24th, 2023 at 4:35 PM ^
Good victory. Announcers made a big deal of the 4 Vikings interception. But one was on 4 th down, that interception cost the lions 20 yards. Another was on 3rd and long and was effectively a 48 yard arm punt.
December 24th, 2023 at 6:03 PM ^
Yeah, sometimes you wonder whether or not announcers even understand the game they're watching.
Same with their coverage of that late fumble. They kept talking about how, if Cominskey had recovered the ball, he could have scored, as if his failure to do so was just bad luck, but they didn't even mention that if he had just fallen on the damn ball the Lions win. Turned out not to matter, but it seemed pretty critical at the time.
Still. Great win. Best record in the NFC!
December 24th, 2023 at 8:03 PM ^
Marv also talked about the great catch by #11 St Brown.
December 24th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
the one announcer, the color guy, i think made the 'arm punt' comment on both of those two that didn't do much to hurt the vikes chances.
