NFL Divisional Playoffs: T B Buccaneers @ OUR DETROIT LIONS
[Thread originally titled: "OT: NFL Sunday Divisional games - discussion"; changed to reflect the fact that the MGoBoard membership overwhelmingly consists of Detroit Lions fans ---rob f]
Two divisional NFL games today. The Lions host Tampa Bay at 3:00 pm with the winner heading to SF for the Conference Championship next weekend. And, tonight - KC visits Buffalo with the winner heading to Baltimore.
The Packers collapse yesterday means this is the last game at Ford Field for the Lions this season.
Thoughts - reactions - perspectives?
GO LIONS!

Time to bite off some kneecaps! LFG Lions! WOOOO!
How can the Bucs possibly win if they have no kneecaps? They will be unable to stand up, let alone run or block anyone. This is a foolproof plan.
January 21st, 2024 at 2:47 PM ^
Too many people think the Lions have this one in the bag.
January 21st, 2024 at 2:48 PM ^
Sez the tiger.
January 21st, 2024 at 2:50 PM ^
Hey. I sat through 1996 and 2003, plus whatever it is they think they’ve been doing the past decade. I’ll have you know I’ve earned my tiger!
January 21st, 2024 at 2:53 PM ^
Totally- was just making a joke (a bad one) about a tiger making remarks about lions...real cat jealousy kind of stuff you know? :)
January 21st, 2024 at 2:58 PM ^
It’s too close to kickoff for a cat fight. Now, the guys who got over-served in section 122? Different story.
January 21st, 2024 at 2:50 PM ^
Go Lions!
Go Bills.
Fuck the Chiefs and the entire burgeoning Mahomes-Kelce Kardashian-esque media obsession.
Hoping for a Lions/Bills Super Bowl - with a Lions win of course.
January 21st, 2024 at 2:51 PM ^
There is only one game today. Go Lions!
January 21st, 2024 at 2:52 PM ^
i am not taking the bucs for granted, but i still think the rams are better than the bucs and we handled the rams business.
also, the bucs had to travel and have had one less day of rest, which sometimes can make a difference.
ford field is l-o-o-o-u-u-u-d-d-d-d. the said they recorded it at 133 decibels last week.
forward down the field

After seeing the Lions win a playoff game last week. Everything else is house money to me, in my eyes. Win or Lose, a hell of a season. That being typed.. GO LIONS! Beat the BUCS! GO HONOLULU BLUE!
January 21st, 2024 at 2:58 PM ^
Stop with the house money BS
They have a home game vs a 9 win regular season team who has a journeyman QB.
Same attitude as "I just want to win v Bama and eff the NC game, it's all house money"
Their schedule changes dramatically next year vs a load of tougher teams, #2 seed dropped out this year giving Lions a 2nd home game and they are as healthy as any team in the history of playoffs. They could lose Goff to season ending injury at any time next year.
No guarantee this ever happens again. Fuck the house money. Win tonight and go to SF and it's 50/50 to get to their first SB in most of Lions fans life.

First Super Bowl in ANYONE'S life
January 21st, 2024 at 2:55 PM ^
THIS IS A DETROIT LIONS THREAD
MODS CHANGE THE FLIPPIN TITLE TO REFLECT THAT
January 21st, 2024 at 3:10 PM ^
Yeah, thread title is awful. Looks like something out of ChatMilquetoastgpt
January 21st, 2024 at 2:56 PM ^
BRAND NEW LIONS LFG
January 21st, 2024 at 2:56 PM ^
I’ve live in/around both Detroit and Baltimore. I think the fans are very similar in terms of demographics. Yes, Baltimore has had a better run over the past few decades, in terms of football, but the fan bases are gritty and largely blue collar. Buffalo is similar, but I would love to see a Lions Ravens Super Bowl.
January 21st, 2024 at 7:28 PM ^
Baltimore has the poor man’s Philadelphia fans.
January 21st, 2024 at 3:00 PM ^
GO HONOLULU BLUE!!!!!!!!!
BTW, did anyone else notice that C.J. Stroud can't beat the Harbaugh brothers?
January 21st, 2024 at 3:02 PM ^
Again, I don't give an airborne fornication about the NFL, but I want the Lions to win, because you have all suffered long enough.
January 21st, 2024 at 3:05 PM ^
I know we’re not going to get it, but I’d like an introduction like: “Aidan Hutchinson….BET!”
January 21st, 2024 at 3:40 PM ^
Or anything other than this high school BS.
January 21st, 2024 at 6:19 PM ^
Yeah, what's up with that?
January 21st, 2024 at 3:05 PM ^
Bad first playcall for the Lions screws the rest of the drive
January 21st, 2024 at 3:07 PM ^
GO (Honolulu) BLUE!
January 21st, 2024 at 3:08 PM ^
hate the call to receive the ball.. Middle 8 is always a key factor in a football game
January 21st, 2024 at 3:08 PM ^
IFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 21st, 2024 at 3:09 PM ^
PICKED OFF
January 21st, 2024 at 3:09 PM ^
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 21st, 2024 at 3:09 PM ^
Hutch can kiss my ass
January 21st, 2024 at 3:10 PM ^
Game just started, already drunk?
January 21st, 2024 at 3:20 PM ^
Huh?? I guess you're a Sparty fan?
January 21st, 2024 at 3:21 PM ^
Maybe a member of the Stroud family
January 21st, 2024 at 3:52 PM ^
No second week in a row he says his high school
January 21st, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
Ran out of meds or something? Get a grip
January 21st, 2024 at 3:10 PM ^
That’s much better.
January 21st, 2024 at 3:13 PM ^
Cheaters!!
January 21st, 2024 at 3:15 PM ^
Thanks for putting butter on Dean's gloves!!!
January 21st, 2024 at 3:15 PM ^
JFC Goff
January 21st, 2024 at 3:16 PM ^
Take the points
January 21st, 2024 at 3:16 PM ^
That Honolulu blue is the best looking uni in pro sports
January 21st, 2024 at 3:26 PM ^
Their old unis were far superior
January 21st, 2024 at 3:37 PM ^
Need to go back to these
January 21st, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
That’s a bingo
January 21st, 2024 at 3:16 PM ^
God almighty. We dodged a bullet there.
January 21st, 2024 at 3:16 PM ^
dammit wanted a td there
January 21st, 2024 at 3:16 PM ^
For as much as college football on TV gets (deservedly) criticized --- the NFL has done a better job in recent years.
This game - first 3 possessions, that involved a punt, turnover and score, 6:30 in game play - NO commercials!
January 21st, 2024 at 3:17 PM ^
Gotta block better that last play
January 21st, 2024 at 3:18 PM ^
Need to punch those in from inside the ten yard line.
January 21st, 2024 at 3:21 PM ^
Run on 2nd down and set up 3rd and short...you know you're going for it if it's 4th and goal from the 1.
That should've been 4 runs.
January 21st, 2024 at 3:23 PM ^
That series and the opening drive (all passes) shows me that the coaches want to give Goff as much as he can bring. But running has been Lions bread and butter all year, keep it going!
