Killer blue helmets too?

I think alternate helmets are not allowed in the playoffs.

For the first time in the playoffs, the crowd will not be helping the Lions, which isn't insignificant. I think the Lions can win this game, but I expect that they won't. This is a house-money type game for me, though, so I'll much less nervous watching it compared to the other two.

The ghost of Scott Norwood has returned.

I really happy for Barnes. After that missed sack in Dallas, this has to feel like a huge weight off his shoulders.

Barnes redemption arc engaged!

I'm still not confident at all lol.

Saint coming up huge with a great catch there. Wow.

That non-challenge is gonna cost the Lions the game.

Who had Craig Reynolds anytime TD today?

The defense is gonna have to step up for Detroit to win this game. The offense is complete garbage.

That was an obvious chop block, lol. So dumb, he didn't even have to do it for Goff to get the pass off.

The Lions should win this, which is making me even more nervous.

Pat McAfee was the only sports media guy who didn't write Campbell off after that presser. Everyone else thought they were real clever sh*tting on him. Max Kellerman looks particularly douchey in retrospect, but that's to be expected from him.

Oops

Holy hell, the Packers are gonna pull this off, aren't they?

McCaffery is good at football.

Packers and refs.  No teams gets ref help like the packers. Any sport.  Any league. Anywhere in the world.  

You aren't referring to that obvious PI call, are you?

I like the Lions chances at home against GB more than I do against SF on the road. Both will be tough, but the conference championship game is supposed to be tough.

Mayfield missed several open receivers downfield last night, too. If the Lions can run on the Bucs D, I like their chances.

Has Baker connected on any of his long throws?

10-0 Tampa midway through the 1st. What the heck happened to the Eagles, did they have a clubhouse mutiny or something?

 

Matt Patricia happened to the Eagles.

Feels like Tampa should be leading by more than 13.

Is it just me or did the Rams play timid?  Conceding for field goals and punting with only 4 min left and you have either zero or 1 time out?  I was shocked they didn’t go for it. But I don’t watch a lot of football.  

It was 4th-and-long with over 4 minutes to go, and the Lions offense had not shown the ability to move the ball against the Rams defense in the 2nd half. I don't think it was a terrible decision considering those conditions. Obviously it was the wrong decision, but in the moment I didn't raise an eyebrow.

Who had Lions win 1st playoff game in 30 years on a Badgley 54-yd FG on their bingo card?
