Do we know position yet? Are we before or after the Ravens?

I 100% agree. Goff could have been better, but he was more than good enough. The receivers need to catch those balls. And I agree that we need to remember that the 49ers are a good team. There is a reason they were the 1-seed. There's a reason they've been to the NFC Championship three years in a row. This is a very, very good team and the Lions hung with them quite well. Honestly if you'd have said to me before the game that the Lions would lose, but just be 3-points I would have said: "That sounds exactly right... maybe even a little better than what I would have thought." It's just heart breaking that they were ahead by so much and then lost.

Well Goff didn't have his best game ever. A number of his passes were a bit outside making it harder for the receivers to catch, so I wouldn't say his above criticism. That said, Goff was NOT the reason the Lions lost... not by a long shot. The Lions would be stupid to move on from Goff now and anyone who says they should based on this game is being idiotic.

I think that's too simplistic. It's not just a question of how confident Campbell is or isn't in Badgley, there's also the question of 7 vs. 3 points. Even if they get the FG if 49ers turn around and get 7 points, that's still a losing proposition. And yeah I know we technically only lost by 3 points, but how the teams would have played out the rest of the game would have changed radically with a different score.

I think the flag was thrown because it sorta looked like Offensive Pass Interference. This is when the receiver interferes with the defender being able to make an interception. However, on the replay it seems like to me both players were playing the ball... that is they were going trying to make a catch on the ball. I think it was the right call to pick up the flag. Now, I would have loved to see the call stand because it would have helped the Lions, but I don't think there was interference there. There was a play earlier in the game where I thought there was definitely OPI, but not on this one.

He absolutely should NOT be above criticism. But I think it's also very wrong to assign the blame completely on the 4th down calls. The contributed, yes. But they weren't the only reason. And if a overly aggressive coach "only" get the Lions to the NFC Championship game... well, that's more than has happened here in a long time. Look how the defense folded in the second half. We know that this defense is questionable... we know that there are big holes in the secondary. Campbell knew they won't be able to keep a team as good as the 49ers down for long so he knew that the offense needed to score TDs.

We're one of four teams left in the league. We are the big boys now. You might luck into a division champ if the rest of the division stinks. You might even luck into a playoff win if things fall your way. You don't luck into two win, imho. It'll be a bit disappointing if they lay an egg, but only a bit.

That they've taken another step in the right direction and let's reload and attack 2024! There's no way I'm going to be disappointed by even an embarrassing loss on Sunday. This team is the first since 91 to win a playoff game and they won two! They is the first ever NFC North Champ Lions. This is a step in the right direction and I'm thrilled with what they've accomplished already.

I don't know that that's the case. I can't see any Lions' season ticket holder doing that, but the Lions' haven't been good in decades. You need to go back 30+ years for the last time the Lions were in the NFC Champ Game. This is history for the Lions. For the 49ers you need to go back all the way to... January of 2023. Before that you need to go back to... January of 2022. Before that? January of 2020 when they won the NFC Championship. This isn't a "once in a generation" event for 49ers fans so if you can resell tickets and make hundreds, maybe thousands? I won't be surprised to see season ticket holders do it.
