As a Vikings fan, I'm in awe of how the Lions responded to that travesty in Seattle. It was inspiring. I'll bet next season can't come soon enough for the Lions and their fans.
I'm disappointed that they didn't make the playoffs, but I'm not dissatisfied with this season. They exceeded everyone's expectations. They tripled, yes tripled, their win total from last year. They played meaningfull games all December, and even this game COULD have "meant" something more than what it ultimately did, but it "meant" something in that it showed this is a team that doesn't quit and could possibly beat anyone, anywhere, anytime, including on the opponent's own home turf.
They play tough in the trenches and have fun out there, man. They can bounce back from mistakes or bad breaks. Growing together. Good recipe for success.
Detroit walked into Lambeau complete void of any hope that the season would go on, either way they were bound for the off-season. Everyone else said they had nothing to fight for...it didn't matter. The Lions played all-out, ballsy football and crushed Green Bay, completely ready for the off-season blackhole awaiting them on the other end. It was so BAD ASS. I love this team now, I'm drinking the Honolulu blue Kool-Aid for the first time in over thirty years growing up and living in Michigan, god have mercy!
Outside of a late lead steal they swept the division. They are a playoff caliber team, and we have draft picks. My life history tells me this was just an anomaly of a season, but I so badly hope this is a beginning of a new era.
I think the exciting thing for me is it's not just the players that are growing, the coaches are as well. They won't make the same mistakes over and over
Exactly! That’s something I haven’t heard enough of. Campbell is a “rookie” too when it comes to being a head coach and he made some “rookie mistakes “ early, but improved all season until he was making the big brain decisions and we could rest easy towards the end
While Campbell has his short comings throughout the season, he has instilled an identity and a motivation to these players and they bought in. Keep improving and have a great draft and this team can be special.
If the Lions can control their division and win half the other games 10 wins minimum because the NFL gave them a tougher schedule next year they don’t want to see the Lions succeed
Outside of not making the playoffs, this is probably the best that the season could've gone especially after starting 1-6. I really don't get the mindset of the group of fans that is calling this season a failure purely because they didn't make the playoffs. I'm definitely sad that they didn't make the playoffs but this is the most proud I've been of the team at the end of the season without them making the playoffs.
We all have our "stories" and "theories". I'm 54 and a life long Lions fan. We've had GREAT players in my lifetime; Billy Simms, Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford. We've had very good players; Doug English, Pat Swilling, Robert Porche, Chris Speilman, Darius Spay, Herman Moore, Al "Bubba" Baker. We've had guys we had hope for; Eric Hipple, Eric Kramer, Charlie Batch, Chuck Long. But man. . . .We've never had a "team" that plays together, for each other, for the fans. . . .like this! Never, not once IMO have I felt this much promise, hope and belief that that our organization (Holmes and MCDC) are being given what they need from the Ford family to build a winning team! With two first round picks (which I pray we use for defense) our future looks stunning! We beat Chicago twice, Green Bay twice and spit with the Vikings (yes, we should've won both). If your all about the Honolulu Blue and Silver. . . .how can you NOT be smiling and happy!
The only thing that would have made this regular season for the Lions would have been to make the post season, the refs had to use the Rams game to stop the Lions but beating the Packers in Lambeau to end their playoff hopes was the next best thing, that was almost as good as the playoffs. Yes, I think this was the last time we see Rodgers in a Green Bay uniform, he's dropped hints in two interviews that this is his last year in GB, I think he plays for Raiders but his dream was to play in San Francisco. I think that's what he's hoping for but idk if he goes there. He may retire, he's lost a step but question is, can he accept that with his ego
I think you would have to be a longtime Lions fan to understand why the Lions beat the Packers. To the casual observer this was a game in which the Lions had nothing to play for, but for Detroit this was personal. Rodgers and Green Bay have owned us for so long, this was an opportunity to finally slay that dragon and to do so at Lambeau, which has always been a House of Horrors for this franchise. This wasn't another game, this was like hating someone from your old neighborhood. And it shows why Dan Campbell is the right coach for this team because he gets it---He played here and understands the history of this team and its relationship with the City of Detroit. When Campbell said either Detroit was going to the playoffs or Green Bay wasn't going, he was speaking for every single Lions fans who has lived and died with this franchise for the past 60 years. Wasn't surprised at all that the Lions cleaned the Packers' clock.
I mean everyone's expectations for the lions at the beginning of the year was that they were a 5-6 win team. To come out the other side of the season with 9 wins, a couple statement wins, an identity on both sides of the ball, and a rookie class that balled out... id say although its disappointing to miss the playoffs there is way more to be excited about than there is to be disappointed in.
As a Lions fan.. We all Kno the people in Vegas was making those calls to not give us a playoff berth Edit: For y'all info we won the 🧀 bowl last night..
Hawks fan. The Lions are a great team and I am excited to see their future. That's the key. You never know in life, but it's exciting to have a future worth looking forward to.
Im glad they didn't go to the playoffs to lose in the first round against the '9'ers. They learned from it. It will NEVER happen again and my bet is they win their first round.
I think there may be more than a few 50+ year fans who agree with Mike - never had as much confidence in the team, from Sheila Hamp on down.. have you noticed the clown show of other team's owners? give me a break I'm with Sheila, Brad & Dan #GoLions
Going back to August, I'll give the team from owner to trainers, Exceeds Expectations by a mile. 18 months ago the Lions were hands down, full consensus, the worst team in the league. The Brad Plan is working!
Lions proved the majority of this fan base and the national media wrong, “fire Dan Campbell, Goff is a bum…” And so on, so much wasted content on topics what never were a reality. Way to go Lions, on to next year!
I found the TV coverage at the end of the game pretty annoying. The Lions just beat the Packers IN Lambeu on national TV when NO ONE picked them to win. and the cameras follow the losing QB (choked away the playoffs with a INT, btw) as he frowns his way to the tunnel instead of showing the winning team. fuck the national media.
i was happy, bye Aaron, inspite of horrible calls in sea-la..... I really think, we could of won any gam,e anytime, road or home anything could happen, But we would of had a chance. sux we are not dancing
rico said more than once today that tcu was not only gonna cover the spread but win the game outright tonight. we all need to start betting opposite whatever he predicts. seems he's wrong more consistently than anyone else on the show lol
How could this be considered a great end to the season? They lost to the Panthers and didn't make the playoffs. The Green Bay game meant nothing. Literally nothing was at stake yesterday. Momentum does NOT transfer between seasons. Remember last year we beat the Packers in the last game too? How'd that work out for this year? Oh yeah, these losers opened the season 1-6 #SAMEOLDLIONS
The Lions rolled over at the beginning of the season, 1-6. Big deal, so they finished strong. I've seen this scenario for decades. The Lions have won only ONE PLAYOFF GAME since 1957! Until they win one playoff, I'm not on board! ----
Don't try and make excuses and why Seattle won.....there is a error in almost every game wit the refs....blaming the refs is getting old especially when it doesn't favor you....maybe if you didn't start 1-6 you wouldn't be in this predicament....you control your own fate at the beginning of the season.....Seattle started 6 rookies....they wasn't suppose to even be in this situation....I have a new found respect for the Lions....but don't try and bash my team to uplift yours....
The Lions rubbed their sac all over Rodgers' face and it was beautiful. The bandwagon is filling up. Maybe there can be some intelligent conversation around the Lions on this sad station now. Seattle is putrid the Lions would beat every playoff team except the Niners. 97.1 is the CNN of sports talk radio. All narrative no substance. Maybe that can change now too fellas.

"WE'LL GET 'EM.NEXT YEAR”

Satisfied, with great anticipation for next year.
Congrats to the fans and organization. You guys really have a great foundation for the future!
Ugh, it hurts so bad. Gonna be hard to wait until next year
Ok y’all have a good future but is Goff y’all future QB or you still need to address the biggest position in sports
They will be very hungry next year. Should win the North. As a fan for 55 years hope I'm here to enjoy it.
Appreciate the quick uploads! Keep ‘em coming.
They play tough in the trenches and have fun out there, man. They can bounce back from mistakes or bad breaks. Growing together. Good recipe for success.

I’ve waited 19 years to hear Mike say this.

For what it is worth, Rodgers had that same look leaving Lambeau last year when the Niners knocked them out.
I feel better than i have in YEARS about this team (30 year fan here)
As a Lions fan.. We all Kno the people in Vegas was making those calls to not give us a playoff berth
Edit: For y'all info we won the 🧀 bowl last night..
It's called the YooperBowl because of Lambeaus proximity to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The U.P. is chalked full of Packer backers and Lions fans.
Can't feel bad, the team that got in over is beat us head to head and we didn't make the punt once
that was a different lions team,this seachickens team doesnt deserve to be in over these lions
@jasondeslatte7611 lol yes we do. We kicked the crap out of the lions and would again. Lions still can't stop the run.

Campbell and the rest of the Staff got better as the season played thru. Refs are horrible also 😂
I don’t think detroit would’ve gotten throttled by the niners. I would give them a decent chance to win.
I promise you the 49ers didn't want anything to do with Detroit
Damn Mike, get some sun. You look like you have been tanning under the moon.

Just dominate the Division next year and all the talk will cease.
Jets always have room for Packer QBs who should've been put out to pasture
I think we should take a guard also, and how about Deuce Vaughn and Stetson Bennett in later rounds.
It's been absolute misery the past 25 years watching this team. Finally they got it right. Possible super bowl within next 5 years oh wow
Ok y’all have a good future but is Goff y’all future QB or you still need to address the biggest position in sports
It's obvious the NFL expected the Lions to roll over after they had the refs take out the Rams vs the Seahawks.
