And to think some were bummed when they didn't hire Saleh

Craig Reynolds with the go ahead TD in the 2nd half and Derrick Barnes with the game sealing INT! Just how we drew it up!

[NYLion]

The Detroit Lions, OUR Detroit Lions, are in the NFC Championship game. For us long suffering Lions fan (I've been a fan since the late 80s), how sweet is this and how about Derrick Barnes making amends for that missed Dak safety by sealing it. What a time to be alive.

Lions have yet to trail in the playoffs.

To think 6 weeks ago we just lost by 2 scores to Chicago and given our franchise history everybody was expecting a collapse, but since then we have won 5 of 6(so close to being all 6) and are now a win from the SB. So impressive!

Plus imagine how good the team will be when other teams hire Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn and we don’t have to put up with their terrible play calls. 🫠

lions open a 6.5 underdog, trending to 7.

i'll take that bet.

Is this really happening? We're going to play for the right to go to aSuper Bowl next week.

I'm going to rewatch it. If my heart slows down.

Let's go Red Wings!

Love Barnes breaking out the chalkboard to describe his INT!!!

[TP_Fan]

Just a wonderful feeling. 

[guy incognito]

Playing a SF team next, huh? What could go wrong?
 

[holygoat]

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

I mean, after that Barnes INT Ben Johnson calls 3 straight runs for no gain.

Turnovers. They made them against the Bears, had none today and only 17 penalty yards. It's hard to beat any team in the NFL that doesn't make mistakes, and the Lions aren't making many.

If they lose next week, they need to blow it up and start a rebuild. : )

I was talking to my dad just now. He's 75. He was 17 when the first Super Bowl was played. That's incredible to think how long some fans have suffered.
