Just because I was a bit deflated the game, thinking the Lions were going to lose to a team that they were predicted to stomp, doesn't mean I stopped being a Lions fan. I stayed through the whole game rooting the Lions on to somehow win. Back me up, Dave.
I can telo you how we stayed in that game, defense. Those guys were out on the field for 40 minutes because for the majority of the game, Goff played horrible with 3 interceptions. To his credit, he had the mental fortitude to pull himself together at the end but this defense held the Bears to multiple field goals. Im not saying the defense was great but they played good enough to keep us alive despite being on the field way to long so lets give them some credit. Goff is responsible for those interceptions, stop defending it and he should have had 2 other picks but he pulled it together for the win and thats whats important but thank our defense for that hard fought win, I give Goff credit where it was due but a lot of the responsibility for us being down 12 late was Goff playing poorly for most of the game, we were fortunate it was against these bad news bears and Goff cant keep playing like that if we are going to make a run.
Glad yer back! The other guy on the other channel whining and complaining that someone questioned his loyalty of being a fan! 25 minutes of whining. At least you talk about the game and the team!
While I didn’t like what the offense cooked, and Aaron Glenn needs to improve against mobile quarterbacks, the defense did great to limit the damage to 26 points against. That was the dirtiest, ugliest win I’ve ever seen in my life as a lions fan, and we earned it. We didn’t deserve it.
I would have agreed with you regarding Glenn for the D, in fact I was in the game, until I found out during the game something. What happened during the game that makes this a bad game by the D? An injury to their OL's centre that took him out of the game early in the 2nd half and he didn't come back. Plus, you'll notice it was individual players on D that did well not the schematics by Glenn.
Disagree, we did deserve to win this game and I'll tell you why. 3 quarters of football we were not playing to our ability. A lost fumble and 3 interceptions was simply giving the ball to the bears. However, we not only never gave up but we managed to score 2 TDs even though Chicago was handed 4 extra possessions. We then did what great teams do…we bit kneecaps, stopped their offense and through 2 great drives of our own marched down the field efficiently and took the lead with 2 more TDs, leaving very little time on the clock for Justin Fields to do his magic (after putting up good numbers in the game). Then immediately, Aiden Hutchinson (full name deservingly put up) realized their QB had 1 ass cheek and 3 toes and when the ball was snapped he beat his ass! Not every game is pretty, it's a game of inches. Our win looked better than the Eagles win over KC as Philadelphia looked lifeless and relied on Mahomes doing nothing, a game he would like to have back. The Lions are not known as a comeback team… well, they never used to be. Now the NFL has something else to worry about when they play Detroit
Saying teams don't typically win, in that situation, is a bit of an understatement. The entire NFL is 1-48, in that situation, since the merger. That sole win being the Lions vs Bears, in week 11 of the 2023 season. I'm still in shock over that one!! 8-2!!!💙🦁🏈

Great teams win greatly
Good Teams know how to Win.
The defense deserves credit.
Despite Aaron Glenn
* the NFL Commissioner was @ the game.
Good show, happy turkey day
What a game! Fans were dead for 2 solid quarters. Then the 2 min drill hit and it lit up like a firecracker 🧨
That's why they play the games, because on any given Sunday. That's a saying for a reason.

The cardiac cats💙💙GO LIONS💙💙
I called this being a real trap game
While I didn’t like what the offense cooked, and Aaron Glenn needs to improve against mobile quarterbacks, the defense did great to limit the damage to 26 points against. That was the dirtiest, ugliest win I’ve ever seen in my life as a lions fan, and we earned it. We didn’t deserve it.
AG has to start blitzing more..a lot more
I disagree about the defense because game plan has everything to do with the scheme AG are not putting his guys in winning positions
Defense had to be on the field TWICE as long as the offense and held the Bear offense back until the Lion offence could get a good game plan going.
Good point about mobile QBS is right. I think you need to spy. Give the job to branch
Hutch made his BEST play of the year and as good as ever, to clutch the big game.
Remember they said a three year rebuild and this is year three. So making the playoffs is good enough
I was there in Ford Field, and it was a BEAUTIFUL win! But our tackling could use some Ronnie Lott.
Goff has to spread the ball better
I would have agreed with you regarding Glenn for the D, in fact I was in the game, until I found out during the game something.
