  1. A synopsis of this game as a Lions fan:

    First half – kalm

    Second half – PANIK

    Last 4 minutes of the 4th – kalm

  2. Shouldn’t have ended up that close after halftime but I’m just gonna let the coaches worry about that because WE WON BOYS

  3. God damn. The offense is averaging 34.5 points per game but somehow looks like shit for long stretches during games.

  4. Man this team looks so good when they want to. We’ve got weapons on top of weapons on the offense. Defense looks stellar too, but I hope injuries don’t get to us. I just wish we didn’t get caught with an exclamation mark over our heads when the other team makes adjustments lol.

    We got a W

  5. DOOMERS TAKE THE WEEK OFF. WE GOT IT DONE.

    SWIFT IS SPECIAL.

    SUN GOD IS SPECIAL.

    HUTCH IS SPECIAL.

    you’d never know we didn’t have our top 3 interior OL out this game. Great way to find a way to get it done.

    GO LIONS BABY

  6. Can we please just play every half like that first half? Without inexplicably shitting the bed for a quarter and a half after? That game shouldn’t have even been close after that half.

  7. Goff and ARSB were goated today, defense was elite 1st half and did enough to close out the game in the 2nd. gg wp lions, on to week 3!!!

  8. 71 combined points in our first two games. that is fucking amazing.

    Defense was unstoppable in the first half, washington adjusted in the 2nd but that showing is incredibly promising. One thing they really need to clean up is securing backfield tackles. saw some of it last week, saw even more of it this week. but knowing we are more than capable of consistently getting to the QB is great to see. Hutch with 3 sacks, he’s gonna be incredible.

    Goff has to clean it up a little, but overall hard to complain about 4 TDs and 0 INTs. Swift is an absolute beast, could definitely be a top 3 running back this year. and of course sun god playing like a sun god.

    guys, this was not a perfect game, but you can’t tell me you’re not excited and hopeful for this team after watching that. holy shit what a great game to watch as a lions fan

  9. It was so weird to watch a game where we didn’t murder ourselves with penalties. I’m not even sure I just watched a Lions game.

  10. That 2nd half took years off my life. Like most Lions games.

    Great win regardless! Amon Ra & Swift were magic. Letsss gooo!!!

  11. Lot of things to be happy about today. Lot of film to review thanks to that 3rd quarter, too. Hopefully we get some injury guys back over the week. Now let’s go kick the shit out of the Vikings.

  12. LETS. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOO!

    Defense still needs a lot of work but HOLY FUCK I WAS HYPED FOR THE GOFFENSE AND WE FUCKING GOT IT! AMON RA IS MY FUCKING DAD! HOCK WHEN HE CATCHES PASSES IS A GOD! SWIFT IS THE GREATEST RUNNING BACK IN THE LEAGUE! OUR LINE WITH 3 BACKUPS IS STILL GOOD!

    Hutch take my fucking firstborn child.

  13. Hutch gotta rest up and take it easy, he was hobbling all of the second half. Hope he’s alright

  14. Youngest team in the league, still collected dubs and sacks. I think the win will be good for both confidence and skill. You know you can get it done, now its about refinement.

    Need to see us pull down those picks. Need Hockenson to play like a guy who wants to get paid. Would like the coaches to keep the pressure up when we are winning. We aren’t a team built to coast, we need to be attacking. Our Q3 would have been better if we kept up on pressure and man instead of getting passive.

    But tonight, we got a fucking win, we kept the scoring streak alive, and we let everyone know we aren’t gonna be overlooked.

  15. Good game y’all. you have a really good team that first half performance from your defense was unreal. We tried to crawl back but St. brown was just that guy today. things are def trending up for the Lions.

  16. The 3rd and 4 when Swift picked up the broken play pass and ran for a TD was the tide-changer. If we didn’t get that I can see this game turning the other way.

  17. Honestly one of the best Lions games I’ve seen in years. They won a game they were supposed to win. They weren’t perfect but they kept making plays. Adding points. Getting stops. No bad penalties. I hate that hutch is limping around but dude is the real deal. They’ve turned a corner. It might not be the last corner they need to turn but it’s one in right direction.

  18. That’s what you want to see. The defense held out as long as they could and the offense not only built a lead, but was able to close it the fuck out towards the end.

    Despite all the injuries, the Lions looked like the better team today, and that is a testament to our coaching staff. This roster is not superior to the Washington roster. It simply is not, but today they looked like it. That’s good gameplanning. That’s good execution. Good on the coaches, good on the players.

  19. Hank Farley, doesn’t get the credit he deserves. The O line is looking solid even with the backups.

  20. That had to be the lowest number of penalty yards in a game in the history of the franchise. That’s the biggest take away for me.
