I'm rootin' for the Detroit Lions to win the Super Bowl.

[OAITW r.2.0]

Love this team and the coaching. They seem to use all 4 downs to move the offense. Well balanced....Goff is throwing as well as any QB I ever watched....and I've had the privilege of watching Tom Brady, every Sunday, for 20 years. Go Lions!

[Xavier Breath]

1. Same here

I've been a fan since the mid-'80s when my family started attending the Thanksgiving Day game each year. It's time their long-suffering fans were rewarded.

[True Dough]

2. Dan Campbell seems like a good guy coach

Jared Goff written off years ago.

The team has overcome a crazy number of injuries, including rising star Aidan Hutchinson.

Sign me up as a Lions Super Bowl supporter!

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. He's a player's coach, I think. He's proven himself on the field and this team gets his vision.

[sop]

3. Lions have never won the Super Bowl. This year's team is really good.

[a kennedy]

5. Packers fan here, but damn Detroit is looking pretty dang good......now Sunday night is gonna be a big game.

I so totally despise the Vikings and hope the Lions can beat them then, and go on to win the Super Bowl. (although I’ll be rooting for Joe Burrow and Cinncy) and if Detroit goes to the SB??? I’ll be rooting for them as we..

[WestMichRad]

31. They've never even played in the Super Bowl.

Last Lions championship was 1957, ten years before the first Zuper bowl. Have only made it to the conference championship game twice, lost late in the game to the 49ers both times.

Not a football fan here, but as a Michigander, it would be nice to see them win it all just once in my lifetime.

[Xavier Breath]

47. The first NFCCG they lost was to the Washington R-words in 1991.

It was an absolute beatdown. It's too bad they didn't make it to the SB that year because they would have faced the Bills, who were in year number two of their four year SB losing streak.

[WestMichRad]

51. Yes, you're right.

I had mercifully forgotten that game. There was little doubt from early on that they would be soundly trounced. 41-10 final, oof.

[Xavier Breath]

53. Yeah, had they beaten Washington back in September or whenever the game would have been in Detroit.

Having 80,000 screaming lunatics in the Silverdome might have made a difference. Sure did against Dallas.

[proud patriot]

4. yup same here

Go Lions !

[Brother Buzz]

6. I've been a Jerrod Goff fan from back in his Cal Berkeley days

I would love to be a fly on the wall in the Rams front office when Goff is being discussed, and why in the Hell they traded him for Stafford.

[StocktonNative]

19. Stafford is still a top 10 QB

Looks like Rams will make the playoffs as they won their division.

I'm sure the Rams are happy Stafford brought LA a Superbowl his first year on the team!

[Xavier Breath]

48. All things considered both teams and both QBs made out pretty good.

But it would have been interesting to see what would have happened had they both stayed where they were. Would Goff have gotten the Rams back to the SB at some point? Would Stafford had made it there with Dan Campbell as his HC?

[Blue Owl]

7. They've certainly earned it the last couple seasons

[jalan48]

8. I saw Goff play in college against the Oregon Ducks. Nice to see the Lions in the running.

[AZProgressive]

9. I'm rooting for the Ravens and Commanders

Since my Cardinals are eliminated.

The Ravens because of Lamar Jackson and am glad he is proving skeptics wrong.

Commanders because of Jayden Daniels who played for Arizona State before transferring to LSU.

I wouldn't mind the Lions winning it all though.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. Nah...

GO COMMANDERS!

My friends in AZ are also on board now that the Cards are out. They were all grads of A.S.U. and they like him a lot. (My hubby was almost a grad from ASU... he is from KY though.. go figure...)

We will have to face Minnesota if both get to that point. I am not going to be popular around here during that game.

[elleng]

30. HELL YES!

(And I won't watch!!!)

[Exp]

10. Lions over Chiefs! I like it. eom

[Jerry2144]

21. The Cheats are over rated

And extremely lucky. They can barely beat mediocre teams and lost to a real team this year

[BOSSHOG]

39. The Chiefs

Have the never apologize for a win down pat. Luck should happen on occasion, not be part of your game plan.

[OAITW r.2.0]

49. Were the Pat-cheatriots over-rated?

I mean, give me a break. If you don't appreciate great teams, too sad.

For instance, when Brady got "caught" using underinflated footballs agaisnt the Bears, he kicked the Bears ass with the approved inflated balls in the 2nd half. How to figure?

[Jerry2144]

52. No. Not until we found out about Brady's deflated balls

Dang though. Almost losing to the Broncos and Raiders? Not scoring more than 30 points in any game?

[OAITW r.2.0]

55. I watched the game, Saw the drama. Watched Brady kick Chicago's ass in the 2nd half.

Tom liked them soft, but could throw them hard.

[OAITW r.2.0]

56. On edit....maybe it was the Bronco's. Can't remember, doesn't matter. He kicked the team's ass

in the 2nd 1/2 with the now officially inflated NFL balls.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

57. Yep!

[AKwannabe]

61. They don't cheat

That was Brady.


3PEAT!!!

[LakeArenal]

11. Packer fan rooting for Detroit.

For Jim N. who passed way before they had their winning season.

RIP Jim, after the Lions win the Super Bowl.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. Cool...I hope Chicago Fans fans agree. Can't count on Minnesota fans this year, though.

[ProfessorGAC]

45. This One Is!

See my post below.

[mac56]

12. Vikes.

[OldBaldy1701E]

15. Which is who I will be rooting for IF the Commanders get eliminated.

Even if it is BY the Vikings.

[kozar]

17. Hard team

They .maybe win it all, get through ne t week

[OAITW r.2.0]

22. There is no "4 out of 7" in the NFL.

You get one shot, baby.

[StocktonNative]

18. I'm a Niners Fan, but we are out.

I'm also a long time Vikings fan being from SouthSide Stockton where quite a few teams were the Vikings...elementary, peewee. Finally, I graduated from Edison High School Home of the Vikings!

Go Vikes!

[Jerry2144]

20. The Bills will beat them

Again

[OAITW r.2.0]

23. Chiefs - Lions.

Sorry Josh.

[Jerry2144]

35. The fans are onto the Refs

They won’t come out and make bad calls for KC Cheats

[AKwannabe]

62. KC ain't cheatin friend

Said it once. Say it again

3PEAT!!

[Jerry2144]

64. Dumb luck, then

And playing mostly weak teams while barely beating them.

The Cheats will lose their first playoff game

[MorbidButterflyTat]

58. Yep!

[JoseBalow]

24. I dare not dream, for fear of jinxing it

I have literally waited my whole life for that!

[OAITW r.2.0]

25. DO NOT LET ME DISTURB YOUR DREAM.

I am reporting from Central Maine, in real life, with my uneducated opinion.

[YoshidaYui]

26. Good luck from a Die HARD Raider fan

NEXT YEAR NFL, WATCH OUT,.., THE RAIDERS WILL BE BACK !!!

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. Will they stay in LV or will they move on? They are the Raiders, after all.

[YoshidaYui]

34. Ask Brock Bowers as he runs over every team in the NFL

[stollen]

27. Lions v Vikings will be an awesome game

I favor any team that doesn't think it plays for God. I've been rooting against the 9ers and KC all season.

[TBF]

28. This Packer fan would love to see the Lions get the Lombardi --

it's about time you guys have one.

[OAITW r.2.0]

38. This Patriot fan applauds your post.

[calguy]

32. Same here

With my Forty Niners out of the playoffs this year, I'd love to see Detroit go all the way. I remember how great it felt when the Niners won their first title after sucking for like, forever. Lions fans have waited long enough for a championship team. Let this be their year.

[maveric]

33. Last time they won an NFL championship was 1957.

I was one.

Go Lions.

[TBF]

46. I was born in late 1966 -

just prior to Green Bay winning the first two Super Bowls. Pretty sure I was watching from my baby swing or play pen - my dad loved Football! Little black and white screen in those days ...

[Cheezoholic]

36. Yep. I jumped on their bandwagon after my Bucs (fan since day 1) let GQ and Mronky spoil it for me

But they HAVE to win Sunday night IMO. They haven't had a break since week 5 and if they don't, they won't get any type of bye in the playoffs and will have to win from a wild card spot. Only 10 teams have done that and of those 6 won it all since 1970. TBH I'd love a Bills Lions Super Bowl. The over/under would probably be 80 lol.

[Americanme]

37. I've been a Lions fan my whole life, live 2 hours west of Detroit

Started watching in the 60's, with my dad. Stayed a loyal fan through all the bad years. Watching Lions games the last few years has been good for my soul. If they don't make it to the big game, I'll still be watching every game next year.

[OAITW r.2.0]

41. You, my friend, remind me of the Boston Red Sox fan I've been since from the 60's.

The suffering pays off...and it's awesome!

[DownriverDem]

44. Live only

about 9 miles from Ford Field. Love the Lions!

[BOSSHOG]

40. The SAINTS coulda been a contenda!

If only they hadn’t built their stadium on the spot of an old cemetery.

[DownriverDem]

42. Been rooting for the Lions

since I was a kid. Still remember the losing days and hope we get it done this year!

[OAITW r.2.0]

50. A Super Bowl Win for Detroit, Michigan, the mid-west...would be great.

They deserve it. KC has had their time in the spotlight.

[ProfessorGAC]

43. It's Ok By Me

Their fans have stuck through some tough times.
I'd be happy for their fans.
I fear all those injuries will be too much to overcome.
They can score points, but they can't stop anybody anymore.

[Morbius]

54. I'd be happy for the Lions if they won.

My ideal Super Bowl would be Minnesota vs Buffalo. Both teams went to the big game four times. Both teams lost four times. This matchup would be instant history.

I expect it will be the Lions losing to the Chiefs, with Dan Campbell making a bizarre decision during the game... like going for it on 4th and 5 on his own thirty yard line. He's a crazy man.

[OAITW r.2.0]

63. But that's why I Love this team. Dan was a player and he must have 2nd guessed a lot

HC decisions while a player. Now he gets to prove his idea. If you can win the scrimmage line in 4 plays, you have an advantage.

[Auggie]

59. Me too

I’d be okay with Buffalo too.

[AKwannabe]

60. Go KC!!

3PEAT!

[Kaleva]

65. I've been a Lions fan since Greg Landry's rookie season
