Celebration thread - Lions are cute with how hard they tried

[OldSchool]

The was their Superbowl, they got 3 huge Special Teams plays, had a 10 point lead early, and we won by 2 scores. Solid win in that they overcame adversity.

Our expectations don't affect how it plays out on the field.

Just curious but do you think if we start out down that much to say TB12 and Tampa or Rodgers or even Baltimore or the Bills in the Super Bowl it'll be ok? Have to start out better imo

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

They should have had a couple wins already. So yeah they're bad but that doesn't mean shit in the NFL. Any given Sunday is a thing lol.

This is a really impressive win by the Rams. To work back and take control and then finish vs a team that shocked us for an early lead, when they were playing balls out with nothing to lose. Campbell stole what, 4 or 5 possessions total? Goff played like a starting QB. We could have easily lost this game but fortunately our team is good.

I gotta give Campbell credit. He had a good plan and obviously didn’t want his QB playing from behind and under constant pressure. The risks seem almost like a unavoidable gamble.

A lot of torture but were able to overcome adversity, emotions running high and some brain farts with enough quality and perseverance to keep rolling!!

 

[Ellard80]

that was a nice job of battling back from a bad start.

In the future just leave the defense on the field if they keep faking stuf - have one guy on the field to field the punt if need be.

This game was ugly.. but Stafford was absolutely clutch... the pass to kupp on 3rd and 12 was a work of art in how he manipulated the safety and read the leverage of the corner. He also threw a missile to highbee on 3rd and 5.

Goff made some good throws but Detroit just has no weapons besides swift... i didnt think our defense game plan was great but we did hold them to 19 pts even though they did 24 fakes.

Yup that roster is terrible especially with their top 2 WR's out who would be what 4th and 5th on our depth charts? Also their 2 best OL out and very little D talent but they still stuffed the run but Stafford and Kupp saved the day in the end.

Sort of like when you crossed the equator for the first time as a nasty wog, with honorable Shellbacks paddling yur ass with a shillelagh!

Felt like McV had a hard(slow) time responding to being down on the scoreboard immediately which threw off his playcalling rhythm all day long.

Props to the Lions for being ready to go with a fat nutsack gameplan.

Great players make great plays though. The Lions don't have any. That was the difference today.

We're 6-1 keeping the pressure on AZ to stay perfect. Can't ask for anything more at this point.

Stafford with 2,100yds 19TDs/4int through 7 games.

Sheeeeesh he's going off in this offense. My God

It's weird that that those seven-game stats would be one of Troy Aikman's best seasons.

troy aikman is absolutely not a hall of fame QB

 

[Memento]

Nice. It fits.

Yeah, this speech by Celebrimbor is also awesome. Gave me legit chills.

 

[den-the-coach]

I thought the special teams sucked last year, good God!

 

[MachS]

2182 yards, 19 TD’s, 4 Ints in 7 games….

Projected

4987 over 16 games; 43 TD’s; 9 Ints
5299 over 17 games' 46 TD’s; 10 Ints

Yea absurd production coming into a new system, new team, new players, new coaching, new house, new everything lol. I think the MVP race is between Staff, Kyler, and Brady.

 

[badnews]

I'm more happy that we don't have to hear about Goff anymore, than even winning the game.

You really think these members are going to let that happen? Wait until *his* next ugly game. There will be at least 3 more threads that day and multiple failed attempts at being clever while stirring the shitpot...

 

[Mojo Ram]

Can we make a separate vent thread for today? I think we might need one, haha.

There'll be plenty all week i'm sure.

 

[madrid311]

We need sine fixing that we won't be able to address and we will have to go with what we have. RB, ST and defense a real problem. 6-1 feels unfulfilling to me.

Like I said in another thread, some of these people really take delight in shitting on Goff and are like dogs that lick up their own puke - they just can’t let it go. Kind of pathetic.


As for the game today, 6-1 feels pretty good even if it was ugly. Props to the Lions for pulling out all the stops and making a game of it.
