This is the best start for the Detroit Lions in 61 years. They are on an extended 16-4 winning streak dating back to last season.

I really hope we can get a Jaguars vs Lions SB in the next couple years.

They don't deserve to be but they are.

I root for them for the NFCN but they aren't even close to a SB caliber team.

It's insane to think about it: The last time the Lions were 8-2, JFK was still alive and President of the United States. It just so happens this year is the 60th anniversary of his assassination.

I like the Goff redemption arc

Their training facility should be named after Dan

Meanwhile Matt Stafford in losing seasons

Honestly? Good for them. Not my team, but awesome to see Dan Campbell's coaching be rewarded

[–] omimon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Whenever I see Dan Campbell mentioned, I remember the one interview he did after a game where he cried.

The man loves his team and never gave up on it. I hope he continues to stay with the team because clearly he is best thing to happen to it since 1962.

I see similarities between Dan Campbell and Mikel Arteta.

I am a Vikings fan, we are honestly a very up and down team, year by year.

So I do have some serioues respect for the Detroit Lions and their fans, except when we play them of course :)

About time, about time.

Luckily for a weird circumstances I was in Canton Ohio, 2004, to see the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the year Barry Sanders got enshrined. And a few others, John Elways, Rob Browne, and Carl Eller.

But the main point is that you guys are due, and so many special players you've had over the years, will be honored, if you bring it home.

If it can't be the Vikings this year, I hope you get into the Super Bowl for the honor of NFC North!

SKOL!

I love this for the Lions and for all Lions fans. Lfg, Lake Erie bros

Will get rinsed in the playoffs, Goff proven loser

[–] MagicC@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Puts that 21-20 win over the Chiefs in a different light, now that the Lions are 8-2 and the Chiefs are 7-2, doesn't it?

[–] dope_ass_user_name@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Where was this Goff back when he was a Ram??

[–] johnny-tiny-tits@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Good for them. Go win that division. Go win some playoff games. Start putting a pile of cheese on your coneys.

I’ve been quietly rooting for the lions for years, although it was mostly to prepare myself for the patriots inevitable descent. Funny they are 8-2 during the worst year for the pats since I’ve been consciously aware of the world.
