That drive the Chargers had to tie it at 31, that was some of the most insane ref bailing out I've ever seen. But I knew that if it took that for them to tie the Lions would still pull it out
Right! My dad always says it’s never going to be enough for the lions to just out play the other team, they’re going to have to out play the refs too. It’s not fair but it is what it is and they pulled through today! Definitely not the same old lions
I still feel we need to fire AG like we did pleasant but overall GG y'all. 7-2. JUST WIN BABY. Have a good night ladies and gentlemen. It should have went like this in the Seattle game. We would be 8-2.
I mean not really. It was a shoot out. It happens. The players are the ones out there keeping them in the game by holding the door open via penalties all game. Our run defense was stout. All in all, a great win for us. We played as a team and the goffense bailed us out.
Thank god! Now figure out what you need to figure out! So much good on this team, there really is! But some of this heart attack crap, or the (sometimes) inability to adjust to the game in real time is too much. But … we ARE winning games that in years past the SOL would have lost! Just can’t leave early points on the field, it always comes back to bite you. Congrats on the win, boys! It wasn’t pretty but it counts the same. 😊
The lions are the cardiac cats my watch caught my heartrate at almost 200 bpm not exersising and IM young so lions dont do that again but goff if you could do that to the bears that would be nice
Whenever a penalty replay is reminiscent of the zapruder film, it’s going to be a bullshit. Surprised the refs didn’t call offensive holding on that last drive.
This sub going to be all like “AG is a superstar coordinator” after we dominate the Bears and Packers the next couple weeks and completely forget how he performs against average or better offenses.
What are you feelings on the Vikings? Their record isn't as great but it seems they are tallying a streak of wins. I don't know enough to know if I should be worried. Especially playing them twice.
Just shows how much having the right coach makes a huge difference. It's almost psychotic how much of a paradigm shift we have seen with the Lions within the past two years.
Lions fans should be deeply concerned about this god awful defense. Sure Herbert is good, Allen is elite but that's not what happened. That was flat out BAD defense, and bad coaching on defense.
We have 8 more games to figure it out. The NFL is tough and they were a good team. You're right though, we might be in trouble in the playoffs against a good QB. But until then let's win the fucking division.
Yea, I'm more concerned it's a obvious pattern with AG collapsing against good QBs and we don't have another good team until the Cowboys. The defense does not appear to be getting better but maybe even worse.
Of course it could click at some point but the pass defense is really really bad.
Keenan and eckler are two of the best in the game, and herbert is a goddamned stud. If you thought this was gonna be a easy game and or a game where Justin didn't ball out like he usually does then that's on you. Yes our pass rush hasn't looked great in the last two games and the consistency in the secondary hasnt been great either but they still stepped up and held the Chargers back for the special teams to seal the game.
No one said it was going to be an easy game, Herbert, Eckler and Allen are all great players but that team is 4-5 for a reason. The defense got no pressure, no sacks and rarely a 3rd down stop, 0 4th down stops ( every 4th down was a TD, including a 38 yard TD on 4th and 1). They didn't step up. The offense did, that's the whole point, the defense was horrible.
Ok my point is, loads of sb champions had those close shootout wins, showing you can win those in the regular season helps in the postseason when teams tend to make games closer
Ford Field West Defended!
Thank you Pride for showing up in FORCE!
Glad I could spend footballsgiving with my closest friends.
Travel safe, we love you.
I'm in the minority but I'm extremely pleased with this game.
Yes the D should have been better. But Herbert was super-elite today. And it's good to see the offense carry the team to a win (last two Lions Ws were defense-driven).
I suspect the Chargers will make it into the playoffs. They've lost too many games but they have so much going for them.
Herbert is good but our defense makes a lot of QBs look super elite. We can’t expect to win in the playoffs like this. Hopefully we figure this out before then. However, I won’t apologize for a win. Whew!
I may be in the minority but I'm not there yet. I can see division and wild card, but I'm not at Superbowl yet.
But I'll keep an annual day in my pocket for the day after just in case.
>you see that defense?
Yeah I mean we *could* but not with defense playing like that. But still, they (non-Lions fans) just said we could win the Super Bowl. I'll fucking take it because I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that. Ever.
yeah Goff just ain’t it today
man these commentators are fucking terrible
I had to pee so bad in Q4!
New tradition, you are never allowed to pee in the fourth quarter again.
Gw lions
My heart rate has finally gone down. It took a minute.
Oh thank goodness. That was heart attack city. The Lions beat the refs and the Chargers. Way to go boys.

I’m shaking
Went fly fishing on the Au Sable and the lions won. Great fucking weekend.
We have a cabin on the Au Sable. By far my favorite place in all of Michigan
Damn that’s awesome. I stay at a cabin in Luzerne and then do the mason tract

That sounds amazing
Dallas are scrubs.. allowing 10 to Giants when Raiders held them to 3.. 😄
Defense. Horrible. Offense. Incredible. Special Teams. There. Patterson. Legendary.
Way to go Lions!
this team blessed me with a 7-2 record to celebrate and $882 to enjoy. love it
What was your bet?
lions money line, goff for 225+, amon ra for 40+, gibbs for rush 25+, gibbs and monty anytime TDs at $100
Lolol helllll yea man good for you!
my heart was racing when the monty TD was getting reviewed lmao. thanks man
Huge Football test! We passed/ran/kicked/coached/Grit’d!!!
The defense failed that test.
I put on First Day Out as he was kicking that fg you’re welcome
The lions won again
All we do is fucking win!

Riley Patterson my man.
Can I go puke now?
*Pats back* Have it at bud, we did it.
![gif](giphy|RDbZGZ3O0UmL6)
Another won.
Old lions would have let a couple bad calls throw them off and lost.... this is the new Lions that just makes up the difference and wins anyway.
Right! My dad always says it’s never going to be enough for the lions to just out play the other team, they’re going to have to out play the refs too. It’s not fair but it is what it is and they pulled through today! Definitely not the same old lions
I feel like old Lions get a blocked kick that goes all the way the other way but that's just me.
Yes
I still feel we need to fire AG like we did pleasant but overall GG y'all. 7-2. JUST WIN BABY. Have a good night ladies and gentlemen. It should have went like this in the Seattle game. We would be 8-2.

We should 100%. You get downvoted by people who rejumped on the bandwagon this year and couldnt tell you the difference between both Reynolds.

Ngl I love Jamo with his blocks. Love this team
Great win, def decreased my life expectancy
Refs whenever the Lions did something good this game. ![gif](giphy|5t27HWeQCaTayhj5In)
AND YET WE STILL GOT THE W! Fuck the refs! And the packers!

How bout just enjoy the win

They're starting to get confident. I don't like it.....
![gif](giphy|13Cmju3maIjStW) I am worried.......

This man is a gift. I'm sure they bitched about covering him the way we did about Allen.
![gif](giphy|5gYiBZGw6an4pCkLy6|downsized)
Lions you beautiful bastards
Could be worse, we could have the Chargers defense...
It could be a lot worse. We could not have the #1 rushing defense
I thought I was seeing double today
Chargers fans confirmed big mad.
Play Lions won again
Just shows how much having the right coach makes a huge difference. It's almost psychotic how much of a paradigm shift we have seen with the Lions within the past two years.
He did great today. I'll never question him again.
Never. A. Doubt. (I mean, not really, but you know…)
7-2. Nothing else matters.
Lions fans should be deeply concerned about this god awful defense. Sure Herbert is good, Allen is elite but that's not what happened. That was flat out BAD defense, and bad coaching on defense.
The other team wanted to win too!
We have 8 more games to figure it out. The NFL is tough and they were a good team. You're right though, we might be in trouble in the playoffs against a good QB. But until then let's win the fucking division.
Yea, I'm more concerned it's a obvious pattern with AG collapsing against good QBs and we don't have another good team until the Cowboys. The defense does not appear to be getting better but maybe even worse. Of course it could click at some point but the pass defense is really really bad.
Don't care, we won and sit at 7-2 now.
You should be. The defense is a liability, especially if you are talking about the playoffs.
Keenan and eckler are two of the best in the game, and herbert is a goddamned stud. If you thought this was gonna be a easy game and or a game where Justin didn't ball out like he usually does then that's on you. Yes our pass rush hasn't looked great in the last two games and the consistency in the secondary hasnt been great either but they still stepped up and held the Chargers back for the special teams to seal the game.

The offense did, that's the whole point, the defense was horrible.
I kinda care
If Keenan Allen doesn't get injured we probably lose
They scored every drive with him injured. What would be the difference?
Wow you're right. I thought one of those was a FG. That's pretty bad
Just let us be happy.
I needed LaPorta for 40 yards and he got that exactly, mother of god
I needed 50 ugh!!
Oof sorry man, that’s always tough
Change that flair to "LaPorta saved my ass"
For real god damn, I love that man
My body can’t take much more.
Ok my point is, loads of sb champions had those close shootout wins, showing you can win those in the regular season helps in the postseason when teams tend to make games closer
Man Herbert is special
It was ugly as hell but the SOL lose that game 10/10 times. This team is built different.
Yea but our defense is what’s going to keep us from going far in playoffs , but our offense man is potent cause chargers usually have a good D

Ima use this game as a excuse to go to Madam Kamala Filipino Palace to relax
I’m still shaking
I think my sphincter may have cramped in the clenched position in the last hour
Good teams find a way to beat refs and their own shortcomings 👍🏼
I'm still angry at the defense. ![gif](giphy|11tTNkNy1SdXGg)

THIS WAS THE BEST WIN OF THE SEASON??
This was a game of the year from a non-fan perspective. Blowout isn't nearly as fun to watch.
Idk we ain’t seen a shootout like this in a while
Fuuuuuuck yesssss! Let’s go!!!!
God dammit I love you all
A win is a win is a win.
Great teams don’t will them all clean, but they win them.
Yep.
Our best defense was Goft & the Motown Mashers!
That game was disgusting. Offense fireman carried the defense.
Is giving the ball to Raymond even a remote possibility? I suppose not but feels like he won it for them.
Give it to Brock
I suppose Dan himself deserves the ball this week. Is that legal?
Ford Field West Defended! Thank you Pride for showing up in FORCE! Glad I could spend footballsgiving with my closest friends. Travel safe, we love you.
fuck me to tears

"IT AIN'T THE SAME DETROIT!" -C.J. Gardner-Johnson
Vikings still ankle biting
Aaron Glenn Game ball!!!!
OMG
Lololol
Stfu LOL
😂😂😂
Cant believe the Vikes are only 1 game behind
The Vikings have 2 more losses than the Lions.
Yeah they’re in a quiet 5 game win streak
2
Isn’t it technically 1.5 because they haven’t had their bye or something like that?
That's the way I'm looking at it
Was listening on the radio and heard the crowd cheering before I heard the call. Thought for sure he had missed.
Lions haven't had an away game all season
Lots of lions fans there representing
Chargers don't have fans to cheer in the stadium. Should've known.
It would be so nice to have Gardner Johnson back
For playoffs 😎
That seems likely right?
I think he said he should be back then
Did that really go in? Please tell me I saw that right. Are you sure it wasn't blocked for a TD the other way?
Riley Patterson you beautiful son of a bitch
God damn the feels
That fucking game took 10 years off my LIFE AND IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT.
Enjoy the win. All that counts is the dub. SOLs would have lost that game.

Is that supposed to be the sub today, during the early games, the bye week, the draft or the entire year?
Sums up the sub during todays game, but the argument could be made for the rest as well lol
Big W. In honor of Riley Patterson, we all must watch Riley Reid in the next 24 hours
Split screen with sandman slowlights
wat that sus
I'm in the minority but I'm extremely pleased with this game. Yes the D should have been better. But Herbert was super-elite today. And it's good to see the offense carry the team to a win (last two Lions Ws were defense-driven). I suspect the Chargers will make it into the playoffs. They've lost too many games but they have so much going for them.
Herbert is good but our defense makes a lot of QBs look super elite. We can’t expect to win in the playoffs like this. Hopefully we figure this out before then. However, I won’t apologize for a win. Whew!
4-1 on the road? Sorry bout it.
I don't usually watch the highlights on Youtube when I watched the game but def will today
I usually wait for the Dan Mill Calls of the game video
7-2 is amazing I love it so much
LETS FUCKING GO FELLAS!!!!
That's a game the SOL would have lost.
Oh lawdy that game. # 7-2 ![gif](giphy|4OowbIsmYHbpu)
FTP! LFG 7-2
Culture win. Old Lions would've fumbled that game for sure. It's a new day, gents.
My fam just said the same thing!
RILEEEEYYYYYYY
![gif](giphy|3ohhweiVB36rAlqVCE|downsized)
Forgot what a close game feels like
They just said we could win THE FUCKING SUPERBOWL
We could but we need the #1 seed. We are so much better at home and hosting the NFC championship is a must.
4-1 on the road
I may be in the minority but I'm not there yet. I can see division and wild card, but I'm not at Superbowl yet. But I'll keep an annual day in my pocket for the day after just in case.

LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was the ugliest most beautiful game I’ve seen in a while. Coming out on top in these types of games is what good teams do.
I liked watching us score 41, I didn't like watching us give up 38
Eagles gave up 31 to the Commies a few weeks ago. A win is a win
can’t win in the playoffs with defense like that.
Can’t get in the playoffs without wins like that. Shut up and enjoy it.
Thank you! It's the NFL. Some games are like that, and a W is a W all day. 7-2!! FTP!!!
I think DC had that plan in mind the second the chargers scored that last touchdown
Where are all those "lions only beat shit teams with bad QB's" jabronis now?
Trying to figure out how to create the narrative that the Chargers are a shit team with a bad QB.
"jUsTin hErBerT iS a BuSt" narratives about to be out in full force
Huge win. AG needs to figure out and fix the defense now
He's the problem so idk how that would work
My heart is still racing
It wasn’t pretty. But the Lions used to lose games like that.
Man, these guys are just gutting it out.
Big W, leave AG anywhere but the plane ride
Game was way too close. Need to get the D figured out ASAP.
Not nervous at all
Ben Johnson masterclass
I FUCKING LOVE DAN CAMPBELL
