Actually, the Lions did win a "real" playoff game back in 1957. The Lions and 49'ers tied for what was then known as the Western Conference of the NFL. A playoff game was held in Kezar Stadium in San Francisco on December, 22, 1957. The Lions won 31-27 and thereby made the NFL Championship Game. So yes, the Lions have won a road playoff game - you just have to go back 66 years! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1957_NFL_playoffs https://www.profootballhof.com/football-history/1957-playoff-game/

Trump is going to win fairly easily. I hope I'm wrong but I doubt I am. All the young voters I know including those voting for the very first time are voting for Trump. All those who voted for Biden last time or didn't vote are voting for Trump. I literally don't know anyone who isn't voting for Trump.

What?!?!?! 😉 😁

No problem. 🙂 The Lions could have always kicked the extra point. They had two additional chances to do so. 😉

This what I am trying to say but apparently phrasing it badly. Decker - # 68 reports as eligible. The ref/PA announcer states that # 70 is eligible. That's it?! There is nothing the Lions can do?! That's BS.

There is no next play. They either make the extra point or they don't. There is literally nothing else to pay attention to. Whether the extra point is made or missed the next play is the Lions are kicking off.

OK - Then I blame Dan Cambell. The stadium announcer clearly announced that number 70 was eligible. Wasn't Cambell or anyone on the Lion's coaching staff listening. If the Lions feel that Decker reported but the ref/PA announcer announced the wrong player - the answer is tough sh*t? That's crap.

Why does everyone keep saying the Lions couldn't have done anything because they were out of time outs? Isn't the extra point an untimed play?

The offensive team must have at least seven players lined up on the line of scrimmage. Of the players on the line of scrimmage, only the two players on the ends of the line of scrimmage are eligible receivers. So, two players can report. I love having a coach who doesn't know the rules.

He's saying he doesn't know the rules.

Been a hater for over 50 years. 😁

It was garbage coaching. Kick the FG earlier in the game and everything at the end of the game is moot. That's on the coach.

You kick the FG earlier in the game instead of going for it and none of the 2 point BS matters. Dan Cambell sux as a coach and I have no idea what you guys see in Gibbs.

I still don’t get why various Secretaries of State simply don’t put Trump on the ballot. Isn’t the United States based on “Federalism" and "States Rights"? What can Trump do about it? Sue? Sure, but then he would have to prove he didn’t cause an insurrection. He would have to prove that he wasn’t an Officer of the United States. He would have to prove that the Oath of Office, which he took, doesn’t state that he has to "support" the Constitution. Put the burden of proof on him. If he proves those things then he sure as heck doesn't have "Presidential Immunity."

Alabama left Abraham Lincon off the ballot in 1860, Harry Truman off the ballot in 1948 and LBJ off the ballot in 1964. To my knowledge, they were left off the ballot and that was it. None of the case were appealed to the Supreme Court. What makes Trump special every single time?

The Lions aren't making the playoffs. Great seeing Donna Pescow again in that Capital One commercial.

Yep. Basically, the judge concluded that Trump engaged in an insurrection but since the Presidency isn't "really" an officer of the Government, he can appear on the ballot. WTF? 🤪

I agree with you there! Carlos Pena still sucks tho. 😉

That may be your experience but it certainly isn't mine. Everyone I know is full on MAGA. Everyone I meet is full on MAGA. There have been NO exceptions to this. Two examples from this past summer: At an event I met someone I went to high school with. Probably had seen him only a few times since then. After the initial "Long time! How ya doin?" greeting: Him: Trump 2024! What are we going to do with all these transgender people? Me: How do you think the Tigers will do? Second person I had not seen in 40+ years. Called me out of the blue and wanted to meet. I agreed. We did. After the initial "Long time! How ya doin?" greeting: Him: Trump 2024! What are we going to do with all these transgender people? Me: How do you think the Lions will do? You all have NO idea what is coming. I could be wrong and hope I am but I don't think so.

Vikings win. Both teams with six wins.

Thanks! They certainly made that complicated! Are all TD's automatically reviewed now?

Interesting. Someone told me the rule is you just have to signal fair catch and you automatically get it on the 25 yard line. Is that correct? Also, do you have to actually catch the ball or just give the fair catch signal?

Was I seeing things? I thought the Chargers called for a fair catch at the two yard line.

Great idea trading / releasing all your running backs and then compounding that by passing on the top running back in the draft.

That was a Joey Harrington pass if I ever saw one.
