Campbell just said Arnold's x rays were negative but he is still pretty "tender", will know more tomorrow.

Drafting a FB in arguably the best QB class ever in 1983, Monte Clark praying the kick goes in, Wayne Fontes caught with cocaine, passing on Randy Moss for Terry Fair in the draft, Barry retired via a fax, Germaine Crowell stays in bounds to run the clock out, Marty takes the wind, Matt Millen, process of the catch with Calvin, Schwartz errently throws the challenge flag, the batted ball in Seattle, a ten second run off against Atlanta, Calvin retires, Aaron Rodgers hail mary, the Silverdome fails to implode, Matt Patricia gets blown out in his debut game on MNF against a rookie QB, Swift drops the game winning catch. All of the anguish and suffering through the years, it was all for this feeling right here. All for the feeling of winning the division and getting the #1 seed in the NFC.

The VP is enthusiastically performing her role to a member of the opposting party with grace and dignity and excitement. You want a striking display of differences between the two parties? You got it here. And you'll get it later today when they certify the results without incident.

Worse than that really. It's not fear of the person, it's fear of admitting the person's humanity, because once you do that, the whole edifice of your ideology is at risk.

Who said stop throwing horizontal 😳

Kwesi's inability to draft has to catch up with him at some point. He's like a better version of Martin Mayhew. Kwesi basically traded Jameson to the Lions for Lewis Cine. The Lions also used the pick they got for Hockenson to trade up for Branch.

Lions are 35-9 since they traded Hockenson, and he was given an opportunity to win.

This is why I don't go to games. I don't care for this socialization.

Section 113 has passed high five stage and is onto the hugging stage. Let’s ****ing finish this ****.

Great block by Patrick!

Oh Goff… whoever said to cool It on the horizontal passing game, I agree.

Never would have guessed Anzalone would be this important to the defense.

I want everybody to rip it up. Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight.

I support things like the National Gaurd and US Military. We already have a standing Army, no need for local militias.

I have loved NFL playoffs for many, many years. Having the Lions in them just adds to the excitement. Having the bye week is huge but it just prolongs the stress. I can't even imagine how hard that 2 week wait would be before the Super Bowl. At least with this wait, we have other games. Thanks for all the GDT. It increases the enjoyment. At least, mostly...🫣

I don't know who Tim Kelly is, but most of the Bleacher Report writers are just bloggers trying to pump out stories every day. There is nothing wrong with that. It's fun, but using them as a source is the same thing as using one of us as a source.

About 20% of Democrats own guns. It only takes a very small percentage of that to form a potent militia and it's not something I want to see.

I don't think Hutch gives him the option. He's going out there, Dan Campbell's only choice is whether he wants to get a penalty for too many men by sending out 11 other guys too. I actually think there is a non-zero chance he is activated for the NFC Championship Game, assuming he's medically cleared. I would rather Hutch be activated for that game on a 25-50% snap count, get his legs under him, and have the potential for him to be 100% in the Super Bowl, than have a depth player like Chris Smith active (who recorded 8 snaps last night).

Adames and Chapman pretty good left side of the infield.

Campbell is usually conservative in bringing players back from injury. If Hutchinson's leg is fully healed, I think he plays.

Campbell started building this 4y ago, getting comfortable with the idea of 4 downs, not 3. Teams are now trying to emulate him, but their mindset is not the same. He has said repeatedly, "we are built for this". Same with 'trick plays'. I am convinced. They have go-to plays and if they miss, it does not infect them. They stay the course. Winning creates so much motivation to keep that faith in him and the riskiness some call recklessness. O'Connell failed yesterday wrongly trying to match Campbell. His team is not built for it. Go Lions! EDIT ADD: And we have a great offense that makes 4th down tries less risky for us. He plays these odds.

I hope something else happens with their starting pitching. They went the whole second half with one starting pitcher and all they've done is add Alex Cobb. Cobb is not a bad signing, but he seems like a big health risk. They are also counting on Olson being healthy which is also questionable.

Meh.

The holidays got in the way and I never continued this conversation. The "have some fun with it" was in reference to fans, like me, who bring this up. But I bring it up because Verlander, at least, compares favorably to somebody like Alex Cobb. They both stunk in 2024. But they were pretty similar in 2023 (Max was a little behind but not too far). So if that is the type of guy the Tigers are looking for, yeah, it appeals to me to bring back Verlander. And if we think Fetter & Co. can coax more performance out of Cobb, why do we not think that about Verlander or Scherzer? I don't really expect that it's going to happen, but I like the idea.

Having watched the Lions a lot more this season (more national games) Its amazing how bad coaching can be at this level. I watch teams making some really boneheaded decisions.

Brady Bunch. It's on Pluto TV

How is Dan Campbell not Coach Of The Year? With all these injuries.

THEY TAKE THE KNEE..............THEY DON'T EVEN TRY FOR A TD. AARON GLENN, YOU ARE THE MAN !

Dude, this is the playoffs, they all could be scary. No weak teams from this point. I've never had more confidence in any Lions team in my life. This team has a steels spine.

Mahogany is in . Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the scheme the defense is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?

He has abused Hockenson all night. And who had Amik Robertson not only winning but dominating the battle with Justin Jefferson? You have two game balls right there and one to Gibbs who took the offense on his back tonight.

What a G!

Okay, I think we can breathe now.

Where’s the hold on Vikes OL?

Goff has bailed out the defense plenty this year. He owes them nothing.

It’s one reason I never want to go back in the office. I am not exaggerating either. I count having to take a **** one major advantage of being at home vs in the office. Normally I’d have to walk around to one of our 4 bathrooms on our floor to find an open stall. That could be 5 minutes there and back. Then the time you spend wiping and cleaning up. At home it’s could be over in less than 2 minutes.

Wow! If AG didn’t have a head coaching gig locked up already, he has one now.

Just the wrong time to do that, no need to go for a big play in that situation. Just get the 1st down and chew up clock and get into half time with a likely 10-3 or 14-3 lead.

4th down decision nets +4 possibly +7 if Bates missed the 57 yarder.

Sometimes I prefer when the opponent wins the toss so we can’t argue about what we should have done.

Rams lost. Vikings will play the Rams in the first round.

That looks cool......but the end of The Shining ruined animal suits for me https://youtu.be/7aLNa1RfkIY?si=9JSNs10o9ZshDzwR

You brag about voting for the guy promising to pardon j6ers and is also a convicted felon. In addition to voting for Biden whose pardoning now hurts your feefees Nice being wrong both ways

Americans need to embrace the bidet. We bought one during COVID and it's over of the best purchases we ever made.
