It took me forever to get on board with the Lions after decades of disappointment. But last year, when they started hitting their stride and finished the season by knocking Green Bay out of a playoff spot, I acknowledged that this is different. It's real. Pretty electric atmosphere all around. At one point in time this year, SF looked like a sure fire bet to win the Superbowl. I think we have a chance to beat them. If Deebo doesn't play or is ineffective, I'd say we have a great chance. My brother lives in the SF area. My sister and I talked about going but decided not to. Hopefully, it's a great game. I think the Lions obviously still have room to get better next year. Unfortunately, Green Bay looks like the real deal as well. It will take some doing to win the North again next year. It's surreal talking Lions football in late January. LOL.
I’m lock step with you, watching Rodgers walk off the tundra last year in disbelief knowing they blew their chance for a playoff was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had as a lions fan. Also I think we can beat SF but that secondary has let the opponents number 1 receiver have career games for 6 weeks now. I don’t understand what Glenn is doing as a play caller and why there is never any help over the top for Sutton. I don’t actually know if he’s a good defensive coordinator.
SF has a lot of talent outside of Deebo and that’s what makes me nervous….. BUT we shut down the run and can get pressure so it is possible. Plus this team never gets shook. Going back to the Seahawks game and Goff threw the pick 6 and the whole team acted like it was nothing. These guys compete and arent afraid.
Also I hate Green Bay and the fact that they are on 30 years of elite qb play (and in SOCAL there are thousands of Green Bay fans who have never left California, let alone visited Wisconsin in December…).
Let’s go lions!
