Let’s get at it again!
Lions/Niners:
-Injury Report: Detroit’s Hendon Hooker is listed as questionable (tooth). I did not make that up.
-Keenan 175/2, Nacua 181/1, Doubs 95, Thielen 107/1, Moore 96/1, Watson 94/1, Olave 119, Jefferson 141/1, Lamb 227/2 and Jefferson again 192/1. If you’re a #1 wr you just love playing against the Lions pass D. Will one of (or both?) Aiyuk and hobbled Deebo have a game? The Magic 8 Ball says, “Are you kidding me?”
-As you suspected, Detroit has the very worst pass defense left in the playoffs. How did they get this far then? Well, they have a habit of matching or exceeding their opponents splash plays. As a team they finished with the 2nd-most explosive plays (gains of 20+ yards) with (ugh!) 69.
-Speaking of explosive, Gibbs should have himself a game, not so much Montgomery. The reasoning behind this is that the Niners surrender 5.4 ypc on runs outside the tackles. Since week 15 they are 25th in total yards allowed and 28th in yards per carry allowed.
-San Fran is in it’s 19th Conference Championship game-that’s the most of any team.
-Stepping Up: DE Aidan Hutchinson has more than doubled his pass rush win rate in the playoffs.
-The perception is that being a 7th rounder Purdy is a dink and dunker that doesn’t take chances but guess who led all his peers in air yards per attempt?
-So I came across a site (Sumer Sports) that attempts to quantify how good a coach is at in-game decision-making. They call it Win Probability Added Over Expected which is a mouthful. Of the remaining Leaders Of Men left in the playoffs, Campbell is the best and it’s not even close. (I’ll link in the comments) Not bad for a knee-biting son of a bitch. Btw, on this list Shanny Jr. is a bottom.
It’s yours to do with as you wish.
THIS SF DEFENSE I CALL IT BRITAIN’S FIRST HYDROGEN BOMB TEST BECAUSE IT’S FAILING (and it failed when the Lions last won a road playoff game)
This is where Campbell shines – controlling the clock to end the half, making sure they have the last (significant) possession.
Perhaps he is using an electric watch, which was first introduced by the Hamilton Watch Company when the Lions last won a road playoff game!
Was wrong about Monty-he can get yards right in the guts of the San Fran D.
So close! Just like the Democracy movement in Indonesia that forced Sukarno to declare martial law the last time the Lions won a road playoff game!
(Not really, they never stood a chance against Sukarno)
Just catching up, is Zymm on some sort of drug this evening? Dealers choice.

This contest is very confusing for me. Shouldn’t that Rodriguez be down in Salinas picking strawberries instead of picking off Brock Purdy?
New Gibbs rankings:
Fun fact, I legit did not know the bee gees were brothers until last year.
I guess I just assumed any band with siblings would put it in their name
They were brothers!?
That must have made the coke orgies weird
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ9_MwZIaoc
Makes this have a whole different slew of meanings, doesn’t it?
No eye contact and it’s fine.
Also, how many of you millennials don’t know they were brothers? All of you?
Well Bee Gees = B.G.s – Brothers GibB
The 49ers have gone Full Pyrite.
The curse of Trey Lance!
Explosive plays killing the Niners, much like an explosion at the Bishop Coal Mine killed 37 men the last time the Lions won a road playoff game!
(The past was kinda horrible, I got way more deadly stuff lined up)
Canary, flying away, laughing his ass off
How the hell did this team lose to Chicago?
Peter Cetera had a good game that day
They hadn’t fired the brass section yet?
Those ancient Romans had the right idea about betting on Lions to defeat a Christian.
Well, they do have Amon-Ra on their side as well.
Egyptians.
Roman assimilation of Egyptian religion FTW

Argh
Gibbsdown!!!!
That Lion fucks.
Lions run game is on fire.
HOLY SHIT, that was some kind of run
JUGGALODOWN x3
The Lions picking off the Niners, UNLIKE in the Partito Autentico’s failed attempt to pick off Batista in the Havana Presidential Palace Attack the last time the Lions won a road playoff game!
That wasn’t Purdy good.
Sudden Change!
MEXI-CEPTION??
Obviously, they’re very good at
stealing thingsfootballBoth teams running like the French army is burning the soles of their feet like they did to torture Algerian prisoners during interrogations when the Lions last won a road playoff game
(embracing the darkness)
We welcome you. We have cake!
It’s fruitcake, but it’s still a cake.
No, it’s a sandwich.
Many many nuts indeed
THE CAKE IS A LIE
I refuse to believe glados.
Deebo has 28 combined yards so far-maybe you shouldn’t be gushing about him just yet.
I love the actually interesting “the last time the lions won…” facts but when I shared a few with my spouse I got the eye roll that sounds like is typical of many other dfo folks. Keep em coming
Spouses of longtime lurkers must really think we’re deranged.
I could hear the eye roll from the ex anytime I talked about dfo.
My hearing is much improved.
….or we could just stay with Jake, Mahomesy, and Big Daddy Andy.
Just sayin’.
I am hoping “State Farm” makes the cut for Hate Week
Bosa took down Goff like the British Colonial government took down Dedan Kimathi, the Kenyan rebel leader, the last time the Lions won a road playoff game
did the niners dj just do the sonic lost rings sfx after their own guy got blown up
I believe so.
#7 ward for the 49ers has yellow shoes and I keep thinking it’s a flag
Me too!
Still think they need a uniform policy preventing guys from wearing gear that could be mistaken for a flag
PREACH!
So no pants for the Steelers?
SF fans celebrating just like former residents of the Gold Coast and British Togoland when they gained independence and became Ghana, when the Lions last won a road playoff game!
Sounds accrate
There’s a glitch in the Matrix tonight, I’ve seen the McCaffrey touchdown about six times now.
WTF Fox!?! Do Better!
What, like Fox isn’t gonna lean into a white guy succeeding?

Depends on who’s paying them.

Christian against the Lions!
As always, I root for the Lions.
Ok, it’s a ballgame now.

The worst part of late January is all the goddamned commercials trying to convince you it’s methadone-y to watch golf, cars driving in a circle, or USXFL.
This is really just the last day of life until mid-late August.
Watching golf has been verified by the FDA as an approved treatment for insomnia.
Bleeds right into February. The Tuesdays of months.
Back when I was young and went out to bars, I always maintained that Tuesdays were the best nights to go out. Only hard core drinkers go out on Tuesday nights. You get very interesting crowds…
Also the bartenders least likely to check id
Also most restaurants get fresh seafood in on Tuesdays, so you can get clams then get clammed
Bourdain? That you?
That’s better
I’m not expecting many more placement attempts outta y’all
That was McCaffery’s 60,000th nautical mile! Impressive, just like the when the Lions won their last road playoff game and the REAL USS Nautilus, the first nuclear powered submarine logged ITS 60,000th nautical mile, matching the total of the fictional Nautilus
Stay in your lane!

Just put a large bet on Detroit -1.5. WHOOP WHOOP!

at least seems like we’ll get some entertainment here

Hey GTD…can we just make it a Zymm-Miller extravaganza this week?
Will do
so many kneecaps being eaten
As a native wisconsinite… I approve.

are you saying Wisconsin is a land of contrasts?
No. Eating body parts is a long tradition.

The Niners defense getting burned much like the 72 people who died in a fire at an old folks home the last time the Lions won a road playoff game!
(Wow, that got dark)
Well, the lights would have gone out at some point, just sayin’
And charred bodies are also normally dark
It’s a older tragedy, but it’s accurate
Yeah, the Lions interior OL is FUCKING JUST FINE, thanks

9-2 Final Score: would it be a Scorigami?
No! October 6 1929 was the first and only time it happened.
I feel like something big was just around the corner…
Gibbs sailing through the defense much like ships sailed through the Suez Canal once it was reopened after the Suez Crisis and Israel’s occupation of the Suez when the Lions last won a road playoff game!
