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.
New plan: Throw it Jameson Williams and not that Reynolds guy.
Except there.
Looked like PI to me, Greg Olson be damned.
WTF?!
Alice followed by Heart? Is Seattle trolling?
If that play was called roughing the passer then it’s time to put flags on the QB and it’s a sack when the defender pulls one off.

seriously, especially in a CONFERENCE TITLE MATCH
ALICE IN CHAINS!
I don’t know anything
ya see, they really SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE
Lewis Carroll had a kink phase that his publisher was not comfortable with.
Holding them to 3 is a pretty big deal
So much for that Purdy-is-a-game-manager bullshit.
THIS NEXT SUPERB I CALL LILLITH FAIR. LOTS OF RED IN THE BOWL AND YOU WANT IT FLUSHED AWAY.
Spoiler: Stalin was dead. Neither team in this game is though!
If you re-arrange the letters in “Elvis Pressley” you get PRESSLEY LIVES
Not great body language, Buster
Hey Detroit, you might wanna cover that Kittle guy
This is the part of the FUCKing where one makes apologies
THESE COMMENTATORS I CALL THEM ALANIS MORISSETTE BECAUSE THEY APPEAR TO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AND IS NOT IRONY
I wish I could +1 this again
I will help you with that.
PAGING BENDER RODRIGUEZ!
Johnny Torrio, Bugs Moran, Albert Anastasia, the 2023 Lions, all had a good run but may continue to be dead since the last time the Lions won a road playoff game?
I know they’re in your division, but gotdamnit Detroit did you not watch last week and learned anything? You’d think you’d want to do better.
Wow.
Is this Shanhan’s inverse 28-3?
if theres a franchise worse than the falcons to help him out, its the lions!
This is the 2nd time we’ve bad bumper music that was in gta vice city

We don’t know that.
I’m nobody’s alibi.
He was in the clubhouse the whole time
He could have easily hit Delmarva by now
He was here eating kneecaps.
Where they came from and the fact they were…strangely meaty…meh
This is going to be the biggest choke job since the 500!

Classic reference is classic.
ACH!
THE DOORS GOTTA CATCH THAT
Oh no x2
Wow, Reynolds is not having a particularly good game.
You know what they say, can’t suck if you don’t show up.
–K. Toney
Even when the Lions last won a road playoff game, Ohio couldn’t have nice things
“Looks like a nice place to settle down-with 1,000 rounds of ammo.”
-Charles Whitman
Wow lot changed since I got off the plane.
Liouns fucking around?
They’re firmly in the “finding out” stage.
Finding out.
Well, Que Sera, Sera.
Which won the Academy Award for Best Song in 1957!
One thing is to lose because the other team is better. Another is losing because you make stupid decisions.
Oy vey!
Will the provisional (lead at halftime) winners ultimately succeed as in the Fatti di Rovereta, or will the coup succeed like Sarit Thanarat’s coup in Thailand back when the Lions last won a road playoff game??
Is that you, Dennis Miller?
Sir…you’ve missed a lot.
Hooooo boy. Buckle up.
No point. The Lions are driving a Corvair, which is unsafe at any speed.
Unsafe At Any Speed was published in 1965, which was 8 years after the Lions last won a championship.
Eddie Grant bumper music. Interesting choice.
Isn’t it “Eddy?”
No, you’re thinking of Chris Tucker

Which one was in Friday ?
Brilliant.
And now I’m gonna have Electric Avenue stuck in my head all night.

MCCAFFREY’D (again)

Yuuuup.
Get out of the way, Deebo.
A way to get Kittle going, you say?
Lions gonna lion.
Lions fans feeling like cubs fans during game the later part of game seven of the 2016 world series.
Which was celebrating the 59th anniversary of the 1957 nfl season, which was the last time the lions won a road playoff game
