I wonder what the Rams would have done if the Lions had declined the holding penalty, for a 4th and 4 from the Lions 34. Probably would have attempted the 52 yard FG instead of going for it, but they’ve had kicking issues all season. Right decision by Campbell to accept the penalty

I think the Leafs and Bolts are both vulnerable. We are so to used to pencilling them into playoff spots automatically. I’d say only the Bruins and Rangers are sure things at this point.

The Red Wings host Tampa next Sunday at 2pm. The Lions might also host Tampa next Sunday at 3pm.

Interestingly, the Lions and Rams only had 8 possessions each last night. The Lions drove for a FG on their first possession of the 2nd half, then had two 3 and outs, then ran out the clock with a pair of clinching first downs on their final possession.

From the NHL.com game recap “Detroit, which was coming off a 5-3 win against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, didn't arrive at Scotiabank Arena until about 90 minutes before puck drop. Really good win,” Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said. “Really unique 24 hours. Obviously, I haven’t experienced 24 hours like that, I don’t think anyone in the League has. Weather, mechanical issues (with the airplane), it was crazy. To show up for a 7 o’clock in the National Hockey League at 6:15 is very unique and unusual, but I thought our guys handled it pretty well. There was things we couldn’t control in the last 24 hours, but the one thing we could control was our effort and execution, and for the most part, a pretty good job by the guys.” The start time was pushed back half an hour from 7pm to 730pm.

He probably had to listen to Kelly rag all week about not getting a suite and fans not wearing Stafford’s jersey any more. As if she planned to be decked out in Honolulu Blue tonight.

Here am I calmly and coolly watching the final possession

Bite her kneecaps.

Which would be bigger and better demons to exorcise on the way to a Super Bowl appearance - Eddie Murray’s wide right FG attempt or Sterling Sharpe getting all alone in the final minute.

Who predicted at halftime that the 2nd half scoring would be Rams 6 Lions 3.

Just spotted this now. Came here to post.

Once I saw it going straight I figured it was probably short Didn’t trust my eyes until I saw the ref raise his arms

I think you have to pass it twice after the 2 minute warning.

That’s really the question. Do the football gods think we have suffered enough or are they rubbing their hands to tear one more piece of skin off of us.

I didn’t ask for a 40 second 3 and out.

Now need a long minute-munching TD drive. And then go for 2 to make it a 2-score game,

Copp wins it for the Wings with a tie breaking goal with 1:40 to go. Raymond adds the empty netter for the 4-2 final.

I smell a Stafford interception on this series.

I expected the Wings to be blown out tonight. It’s 2-2 with 7 minutes left in the 3rd.

Yep, and I think the Green Bay win has raised the stakes. How many times will even a very good Lions team have a chance to advance to the NFC championship game with a home win over a lower #4 or #5 seed.

I think this is one season in which many neutrals are cheering for the Lions.
