we can relate to Taylor Deckers emotion after the game. been sooo long, been through sooooo much shit and finally we are a legit team. feels so awesome and it feels totally different from "lucky" wins in the past. luck had nothing to do with it. we made the plays we needed to win, all season long, not just today. its a totally different feeling from past teams that made the playoffs. this year its "we will kick your ass" versus "praying for some luck". win out, have SF lose against Baltimore and the rams which i can easily see and we have home field advantage. i can honestly say i feel the staff has the Lions prepped to run the table to the SB. waited a lifetime for a legit contender. looking good so far. Merry Christmas gang. we deservise this!!!!

We deserve it. Seeing teams around the league rebuilding every year and doing things like this always made me wonder why can't we do it. Well, now we have and it feels great.
Next year it will be 20 years since we started this site. That is fucking crazy!! How many of the original message board sites are still active? lionbacker, lionsunderground, lionfanatics? I wanted to kill some of you over the years but what a good and loyal group of people!!
It was a long time coming. Congrats Lions. Now really play your hearts out in the playoffs here and hopefully for a Super Bowl for long suffering Lions fans.
Sorry boys. Life has been crazy, but it's been good. I really can't complain. Things have worked out for me.
It was crazy. After we won in Minnesota I just started thinking through all the years of fandom and then this place popped up in my memories. I used to spend so much time here and scouting all the upcoming draft classes.
Good times. From Def's epic short stories, blogs blatant trolling, Atl and Tech's shit political takes, Felix as the voice of reason, and Vic trying to save us all from climate change or save the trees or whatever. Haha
Hope all is well with you guys as well. Have a happy holiday fellas!!

A great time to be a Lion fan. Competitive team, solid coach, great young core, and finally an attentive engaged owner. Like most of you I have endured too many dreadful seasons, but there have been moments and players of greatest that kept me engaged asa fan.
After many years living in other states and abroad, where sometimes I woke up at 1:00 am while living in Singapore and watched every game of the 0-16 year. I have come home to the mitten, and have season tickets, something I never thought would happen.
For me personally, it felt like the luck changed when Aiden dropped to us, I was in Las Vegas on business and happened to witness live at the draft. That small stroke of good fortune has grown into multiple good draft classes.
From an Owner engagement perspective, I just watched Chapter 3 of Inside the Den. Sheila’s support in the draft war room, all the way to mended fences with previous greats like Barry and CJ, personally ushering Gibbs and Campbell recent 1st rd picks, while sporting their gold jackets, is a testament to the shifting culture from ownership under Sheila’s leadership by treating these two as they should have been all along.
Who knows how the season will end, but it’s been fun so far.
Enjoy the rest of the season Forward Down the Field…Go Lions!
