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!

Goff throwing dimes today. Don't want to drop too many of those.
January 21st, 2024 at 3:57 PM ^
It was a third down drop too that would have been a first. A few plays here and there can decide the game.
January 21st, 2024 at 3:58 PM ^
Bad drop by St. Brown, but he may have died if he caught it.
January 21st, 2024 at 3:59 PM ^
Hutch needs to start winning some of his pass rushes.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:01 PM ^
Fourth quarter. That’s when I think he gets home a couple times
January 21st, 2024 at 3:59 PM ^
If the Lions sharpen up their offensive execution here, they can run away with this game.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:00 PM ^
Lions have gotten here despite Sutton. That dude is a massive liability for a contending team. Geez
January 21st, 2024 at 4:01 PM ^
Missed tackle=Tampa 1st down.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:25 PM ^
These guys don’t tackle, they just propel themselves through the air toward the legs.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:01 PM ^
Can’t defend the underneath pass
January 21st, 2024 at 4:02 PM ^
Need more from the D line.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:02 PM ^
That whiff might have uprooted some trees with the wind it created. Sigh
January 21st, 2024 at 4:04 PM ^
DOINK
January 21st, 2024 at 4:12 PM ^
McLaughlin misses again!
January 21st, 2024 at 4:04 PM ^
CLANK!
January 21st, 2024 at 4:04 PM ^
Obligatory: DOINK!
January 21st, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
DOINK!!!!!!!!!
January 21st, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
Goalpost Gods helped us there! Now let’s make the pay.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:07 PM ^
Huge opportunity for the offense with just over 2 minutes left before halftime. Making this a 14-point (or even a 10-point) game would be huge with Tampa getting the ball to begin the 2nd half.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:08 PM ^
And we're in full commercial break, one play, full commercial break purgatory.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:08 PM ^
This next drive is crucial. We gotta score!
January 21st, 2024 at 4:09 PM ^
FOREPLAY! WE'RE GONNA SCORE!
January 21st, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
WTF NBC?? YOU HAVE ONE JOB TO DO AND YOU CAN'T GET IT RIGHT???!!
The game feed on TV8 Grand Rapids disappeared for several minutes and still is intermittently on and off. I've got Spectrum TV and everything else is working just fine.
[Edit 4:14 pm: problem seems to be 90% resolved, but picture and sound disappeared again for a few seconds a couple times during the injury timeout.]
January 21st, 2024 at 4:21 PM ^
Same time U-verse decided my HDMI cable wasn’t valid. Weird
January 21st, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
That’s a big loss if Jackson is done! Would be great to score before half since we didn’t defer and have to kick in the second half
January 21st, 2024 at 4:14 PM ^
He is going to want $14M next year when Sewell needs that money. Guards are very replacable in 3rd round. You don't pay guards big money. Centers and tackles entirely different story.
ZZ should be the 2nd round pick. Plug and play 12 yr guard, with 5-6 years of All Pro in him.
And fuck there goes Ragnow.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
As a Michigan fan, I find watching this defense very frustrating.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:10 PM ^
Ha! Y’all see that commercial?
Snoop Dog = black Princess Leia
January 21st, 2024 at 4:12 PM ^
Lets finish this with some sort of points. 3 at minimum
The very hated AG is doing very well despite 80% of fanbase hating him when 70% of salary cap is devoted to offense and he has 5 top end players.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:13 PM ^
Why are you passing on 3rd and fucking 1
January 21st, 2024 at 4:17 PM ^
Exactly, run the ball and get the first down. Now your center is hurt!!
January 21st, 2024 at 4:13 PM ^
Shit fuck
January 21st, 2024 at 4:13 PM ^
St. Brown is having an off game so far. Dropped one 3rd-down conversion and then can't stay on his feet for another first down. And the second play led to Ragnow's injury.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:17 PM ^
Ben Johnson looking like he's preoccupied with his new job or more interviews
January 21st, 2024 at 4:14 PM ^
Hopefully that’s just a stinger for Ragnow.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:14 PM ^
What a shit drive. And injuries on the OL? Shit
January 21st, 2024 at 4:17 PM ^
Fucking unnecessary play calling. We had time to run the ball
January 21st, 2024 at 4:15 PM ^
And two plays, then a full commercial break. Bets on whether we'll get a full commercial break after the punt?
January 21st, 2024 at 4:18 PM ^
NBC off the air here in West Michigan 🤬
January 21st, 2024 at 4:22 PM ^
Yeah. Totally dead.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:23 PM ^
I was about to text you and check.
As I posted several minutes ago in this thread, I started having problems with my TV signal about 15 minutes ago.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:18 PM ^
Mike Evans hands in witness protection program
January 21st, 2024 at 4:19 PM ^
Hey NBC, perhaps showing a replay of the Bucs jumping offsides would have beefed nice
January 21st, 2024 at 4:20 PM ^
Secondary fucking stinks
January 21st, 2024 at 4:20 PM ^
Defense is completely crapping the bed.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:20 PM ^
Wow, that was a nice catch.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:20 PM ^
Shit. Why is Glenn leaving Sutton on Evans?!?
January 21st, 2024 at 4:21 PM ^
Welp, this is a sorry turn of events.
January 21st, 2024 at 4:21 PM ^
lol wtf
January 21st, 2024 at 4:21 PM ^
Hahahahha this defense is doing their best Eagles impersonation at tackling.
