Not entirely sure why I feel this way but fk the Lions. 

Glad they collapsed. 

Probably because maybe you're a bit of an ass?

 

**** the 49ers. **** the Chiefs. **** the Giants, Steelers, and **** the Pats. 

 

Tired of the same teams and their entitled fanbases getting decades of competitive FB. 

[JustEndTheSuffering]

This was an incredibly fast flip in the feel of this game. Nothing is going right for the Lions.  

[HessStation]

It’s weird how some franchises just stink and some don’t. It’s genuinely weird. 
 

like Karmic Stank is a real thing 

[Aussie Jet]

Heck of a catch by the fullback.

All those dumping on Campbell… it wasn’t a chip shot FG.  Going for it on 4th helped get the Lions here.  If all it took was an unsuccessful try on 4th down to blow a 2 score lead then the Lions don’t belong in the SB.

He should have kicked the FG and go up by three scores. I’m all for being aggressive, but you have to have a feel for the game situation.

This is just pure nonsense.  That's like the argument that the Falcons got to the SB with a hurry up offense so they didn't need to at least run the clock down before snapping the ball when up 28-3.

Ridiculous.  Apples and oranges.  It was a lower percentage FG try.  If they missed and SF got the ball 7 yards further, how would it be any different.  Had it been a 40 yard try instead of a 50, I’d agree with you.  But the try on 4th was the higher % move.  As it was the ball hit the receiver in the hands.

TVs breaking all over Michigan 

[HessStation]

There is no other way to explain this

 

There are real gods of football looking down and laugh at specific teams on purpose. Like collectively certain fan bases are doomed no matter what. Just for fun

[Jet_Engine1]

Man, Fate is cruel. It's like 1998 was for us.

Remember the Lions are part of the “axis of incompetence” along  with other franchises like the Chargers, Browns, Bengals , Jets & Falcons.

These franchises are losers. In those years that they actually experience success they find a crazy way to blow it and lose in heartbreak fashion. 

Jets, Bengals, Browns, and Falcons fans right now are like “welcome back Lions”

[bicketybam]

So, if you are a Lion fan, are you thinking:
a) We were dominating the game until a string of mistakes, just get back to doing what we did in the first half and we will be fine, or
Are you out on the ledge ready to jump because you had your chance, effed it up and you just know your team is cursed
As a Jet fan i would be right out on that ledge right about now.

Ledge

I said during and after the Cowboys game that this aggression by Dan Campbell needs to be reigned in before it costs them more than a regular season game.

For the sake of Lions fans, I’m praying that those chickens don’t come home to roost tonight.  The head coach has completely decimated the mental fortitude of his team by not kicking that field goal.  This is eerily similar to Dan Quinn and Kyle Shanahan not running the ball in the Super Bowl.

[JustEndTheSuffering]

Campbell has to rally the troops here. Forget what happened it’s a tie game go out and get it. It’s the only way.

It wasn’t smart, but it’s what got him there (he thinks)

If a cursed franchise like the Lions are going to break this drought they are going to have to overcome major adversity. 
 

Like the Rangers did in 94

Like the Sox did in 04

Like the Cubs did in 16

Game isn’t over by a long shot but they have to show some testicular fortitude

You’re assuming the long FG was automatic.  It wasn’t.

Reynolds is going to send the Lions to the Goff course.

It will be really interesting to see what happens after Ben Johnson leaves.  Campbell better have a damn good successor lined up.

[HessStation]

I see no reason for there to be a football team in Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Atlanta and definitely no need for TWO teams in New York. What’s the point other than creating more misery in such a cruel world.

Reminds me of the Cubs losing to the Marlins after the fan reached out to catch the foul ball.

Ownership.

Good owners create stable franchises, and usually make good hires.

It would have about 44 yards. I like the odds of success better.

It was a catastrophic mistake by Dan Campbell.

Aaron Glenn right now...

Who gives a sht.  Once Jets are out all I really root for is a bills, dolphins, pats loss. 

Only reason I remotely care about this game is the meathead head coach factor.  I prefer our meathead make the SB. 

[Skeet Ulrich]

Lions have done this all season, get huge leads, give it up, find a way to win in the end

But I’m riffing bro

[shawn306]

Alright now the Lions have to answer

[Beaver]

lions fans right now

 

[Aussie Jet]

That's a massive stop on third down. A TD probably ends the game. A field goal gives the Lions a big chance.

And they probably got away with a personal foul as well.

[Larz]

The face mask fail and then Gibbs’ fumble changed everything.  Sports are weird lol

And the fluke pass catch off the defender’s helmet and the fumble are all because Campbell didn’t try the FG.  Got it.  Weird logic, but I got it.  /s
