I saw something interesting the other day about how the Ravens are 11-0 when Henry runs for 90+ in a game this season. They are 2-5 when Henry is below 90 yards in a game this season. Tell me again how Lamar is MVP? Stop Henry and your chances increase significantly

I always ask older Ravens fans where they were before 1996 and they always blow up on me

The Lions didn't run out of gas. They were still dominating teams. The Lions had a bunch of guys out before then to, not just the last 5 or 6 weeks. If they lost all those players the last 3 weeks, you can make that argument. Winning 15 games with an injury riddled roster is not the time to have that argument

Ok. So, if the Lions won today and won next week to go to the Super Bowl and then got blown out in the Super Bowl, would it be injuries that was a big problem in it? They went 15-2. Aiden Hutchinson hasn't played since like week 5. They were 12-1 going into the Bills game. You can't use injuries as a big excuse with 15 wins. Especially when they were still as dominant as they were.

Yes, but they still won 15 games. Those injuries they had were for majority of the season. They didn't just happen in the last couple weeks. They beat the Rams, Texans, swept the Vikings and Swept the Packers, all playoff teams. And they did that with a roster full of injured players. I don't think you can use injuries as an excuse when they played pretty much the whole season with them and still won 15 games. They barely missed a beat despite all that

Why do people keep bringing up injuries for a 15-2 team? They have had injuries all season and were still dominant the whole way. They went 15-2 with like 30 guys on IR but that was the reason for the loss today? The Lions have been winning these games all season

The same guy that threw 5 picks against the Texans? Noooooo

Yeah exactly. Now they go in and not only beat them but knock off the Lions in Detroit

Who had the Commanders in the NFC Championship game on their bingo card?

If the Rams beat the Eagles tomorrow, the Rams could host the NFC championship game as the 4 seed. Well, possibly anyway, depending on what happens with the wildfires

Is Dan Campbell gonna be a new playoff choker? No one expected this

He meant as the top seed in the NFC

Just like he's always Beane

Probably should have already done that to save time. They only have 2 timeouts. Kicking the FG would have been at least before the 2 minute warning

That's a way off comparison. We had a much better chance at hitting on a first round QB over Tyrod. And we were nowhere near as good as we are now. We were literally one year removed from a 17 year playoff drought. Replacing McDermott guarantees nothing and could possibly make it worse if you get a coach the players don't like, don't respect and don't wanna play for. You only fire McDermott if he loses the locker room. No other time

I honestly don't know to be honest. Just play better in big moments. There's no guarantee changing HCs is gonna do anything either

It sounded to me like he was saying if Allen is a top 2 QB, then why haven't we gone further? And he didn't correct it either. Allen has done everything he could do.

Which coaches had hoe names?

When the hell did he decide to start Peterman in a playoff game?

Are you saying that if we keep falling short that Allen isn't a top 2 QB? You have seen his playoff stats correct?

So, if we give up 30 and we still win and beat the Ravens, then McDermott's job is still on the line?

Would we have something against ugly guys?

Guardian caps are fine for practice, but they look dumb as hell on the football field. And I saw Romeo Doubs get another head injury and lay in the end zone for a while last week even though he was wearing one. Whats the point? If players are afraid of getting concussions then don't play

The 13 seconds team was a Super Bowl team that lost because of a stupid coaching blunder that should have never happened

I never heard anything about Harbaugh back then. But the stories about Kelly are well known
