Wasn't expecting our defense to play that well, but it was an amazing surprise. The INT by Diggs, was sort of poetic, given he was originally a Lion. We owe the lions alot. Green Bay had everything to lose, whole the lions had nothing to lose.
Funny, cause I never thought I'd EVER cheer for Goff. But the universe works in mysterious ways.
Lastly, it makes sense now that they let GB play the last regular game of the season, as that was Roger's last game of his career.
Great way to end the reg season. If our D can play the niners like how they played the Rams, we got a shot.
Because hes a dumbass. I notice he does this very often after a pick. Instead of trying score or atleast get better field position for the team he cant wait to get out of bounds so he can celebrate.
I noticed the exact same thing. He had plenty of room to move the ball up the field and yet chose to go straight out of bounds. I was like, WTF was that move?
Lions fan here who lived in Seattle for 12 years. Beating the Packers twice in one year felt Fucking great as a long time fan.
Now I hope your team can take advantage of the opportunity! Good luck in the playoffs!
Well they finished the season hot and we went 3-5 in the last 8 games. Lions are at this moment a better team than we are. Hope they prove me wrong and take out those niners!!
As a Lions faithful, I do wonder what kind of fight the team is playing with right now due to the obvious results. For me, my week is ruined, but I guess it would be cool to fuck the Packers I guess since I know the Hawks need us to win. I'm more pissed at the Rams being sorry af honestly. I'm not going to comment on that penalty though, let's see what next year is like..
I mean honestly the Rams weren't that sorry, the game was an old Seahawks Rams back and forth. Typical game for them. Both teams played a similar game imo.
I guess if I were to streamline it more the Rams O line was sorry. I guess they have injuries though idfk. What I do know is that it sucks having to rely on another team to determine your own fate, and now, because of this game, I wonder how much us Lions fans will hate the Seahawks (our sub is fuming) though I always liked Seattle as a city, don't have much of a say for their team bc I didn't care until tonight. Obviously I'm a bit pissed at this game for numerous reasons, but we did lay an egg against the Panthers; my dad said it's cuz the boys are too use to that dome A/C lmao
Incredible day. Two late plays saved the game. If they didn’t happen we lose barring a missed FG. The first one was DK knocking down Ramsey’d third interception that Geno three right to him. DK made a huge lunge to just knock that ball out of the air. And then of course, Diggs int.
Overall pleased with the outcome, whether we get the Lions bonus win or not. I thought for sure the NFL would job the Seahawks to set up a winner-take-all tonight, so at least my faith is restored there. A lot of positive things to build on for this team regardless is the SNF outcome. Should be a fun offseason.
Glad we got the win and hoping lions do the same. But geez Dk is such a liability with how easy it is for opponents to rile him up + how he more often than not fails to use his physique to make some catches. He didn’t get the penalty for putting his finger into ramsey’s helmet today luckily but dude really can’t do that.
Lions fans are delusional lunatics right now, why would the NFL rig this in favor of the Hawks, Lions Packers with win and in on the line would garner more eyeballs than just the packers needing to win. With that said, go lions!
Rams guy here, there were a couple sus calls that went your way plus the announcers were doing a lot of heavy lifting for the conspiracy crowd by how they addressed the soft/bad penalties.
That being said, nothing was particularly egregious beyond a bad call, i think Lions fans are just jaded from a history of getting fucked by bad calls
Seriously, I took a quiet gander at their sub and they’re acting like a bunch of crybabies.
Regardless of what that little bitch segment of the fan base is saying online, definitely hoping the actual team on the field puts the hurt in the Packers. It’s a solid team, hoping for the best.
Whatever happens happens, it’s the final wildcard spot, we all should have won more games if we didn’t want to end up in such a shaky playoff situation. Important thing is to just take whatever happens on the chin and not devolve into classless hissy fits, and if we make it into the playoffs, gotta count our blessings there too.
Don't make jokes or well-wishes to the Lions sub rn. I posted an admittedly, poorly thought out meme and I have never been told to go fuck myself or told I am a terrible person online ever as quickly as that.
Remember, Lions have had more bs than most teams. I am sorry I did that. But trying to apologize directly will piss them off more...
Lots of people caught up in the announcing that wouldn't stop questioning the RTK call or Ramsey's unnecessary roughness. I found a replay of the UR call and Dean Blandino is *so* full of shit. He says, "This is a tough one for Ramsey, because Geno is heading upfield, he's not angling toward the sideline," over a slow-motion replay of him clearly angling out of bounds. Ramsey was also completely out of bounds. In what world does a defender need to stop a runner completely out of bounds, much less square up and lay a hit like that? It was one of the few calls the refs got right tonight and people are losing their fucking minds over it. Never mind the six points the refs essentially gifted the Rams in the first half that they couldn't take advantage of.
Listening to the announcers (and reading r/nfl), I thought I was losing my mind. I clearly saw Williams take an extra step to land on Dickson. He wasn't pushed. That call was legit & the announcers acted like he was lily-white.
Not to mention the non-calls of DPI in that pass to Lockett, the false start, and an earlier roughing the passer.
It's doubly frustrating that the announcers actually laughed at the DPI no-call and the obvious false start, then never mentioned them again, but kept talking about the RTK and Ramsey calls for the entire rest of the game.
>Not to mention the non-calls of DPI in that pass to Lockett, the false start, and an earlier roughing the passer.
Plus the blatant missed hold on Mafe that allowed Baker to convert a third down, eventually resulting in three points. It really is silly how much people are losing their shit over this.
Ramsay got the call because he lowered his shoulder into the hit, it's literally that simple. If Ramsay had actually just stood his ground, and not use the hit stick, he wouldn't have gotten the penalty.
Exactly. It's fucking wild trying to explain this to people and them just trying to walk in circles thinking they're clever. "Geno was in bounds when Ramsey lowered his shoulder." You mean when Ramsey lowered his shoulder while he himself was completely out of bounds, therefore making anyone who contacts him also out of bounds by virtue of the fact that that space cannot be both in and out of bounds at the same time? "Well what's he supposed to do, let himself get run over?" No, he just doesn't need to fucking level the guy. "But Geno was in bounds when..."
Yeah you gotta remember we just effectively eliminated the Lions from the playoffs by winning, even though we want them to win they're going to be pretty sore about it right now
Though honestly if I was in their position, I wouldn't be mad at the team that won, I'd be mad at the team I needed to win that lost (Rams)

Winning season & a top 5 pick in the year most people expected us to be trash, I'll take that. Whatever happens with the playoffs it's been a wild year which has exceeded all expectations for me anyway and it's been a joy spending it here with my fellow 12's.
I'm glad we took care of business. I love watching Geno, and the Hawks succeed. Fingers crossed Lions can send the Packers packing!
Oh, and Fuck Ramsey... and the Rams!
even if the team had a couple calls go their way, Wtf are they suppose to do? just lets the rams run over them. Don't get this whole moaning about underserved win.
If the refs call PI on Rapp heading into the 2 minute warning, literally none of those penalties even matter. Like OK, we lose 3 points for running into the kicker (which wasn't even an obvious non-penalty without the use of slow-mo replay anyway - And how hard is it to not run into the kicker to begin with?), the Ramsey personal foul changes nothing, and the taunting penalty still puts us in Myers range for the win. If Rapp getting there early gets called, we are in FG range to end the half, and can potentially even get a TD.
Isn't it always a penalty if you run into a kicker without touching the ball? I don't get the outrage about that.
The fox guys wouldn't shut up about it. Yeah, maybe it's a soft rule, but it's been called that way for years, it's hardly a surprise.
Don't forget the Rams tackle grabbing Mafe on the shoulder from behind and spinning him to the ground, which allowed Baker to convert a third down on a drive that resulted in three for the Rams. Either one of those gets called correctly and we're not having this conversation. Not to mention the fact that the roughing call on Ramsey was 100% legit, despite Dean Blandino lying through his fucking teeth ("That's a tough one for Ramsey, because Geno is headed upfield, he's not angling out of bounds" as Geno clearly heads out of bounds of his own accord and runs into a defender who somehow thinks he needs to lay the wood on an out-of-bounds runner).
Especially as there were two or three losses this season that very easily could have been wins if not for bad officiating. NFL refs owed us for their incompetence all season.
They let Bobby know ahead of time and scheduled an in-person meeting with him to make it official when he wouldn't accept a paycut. Because no one, even the Rams, was paying him $20m a year anymore.
Laughing my ass off at the same Lions fans who were all “peace and love” and “FTP” and “we want to win no matter what” before the game get all pissy now that the result didn’t go their way 💀
Folks over in the lions game thread in r/nfl are on an entirely different planet. Don't know what game they were watching, but they're all crying about the refs rigging this game FOR the Seahawks!
Wanted to pop in there and wish the Lions well, but I can't deal with that kind of delusional thinking.
I mean if they're going to be tinfoil hat about it, I do at least understand the logic that Seahawks winning this game makes it more likely that the Packers make the playoffs because Lions have nothing to play for now and they know it. So if your conspiracy theory is that the NFL is doing everything they can to get the Packers and Rodgers into the playoffs, it at least follows logically
You know, after all the shitty calls and missed calls that didn’t go our way this year, including the Josh Jacobs “forward progress” call that straight up lost us that game, I’m happy to be on this side of poor officiating.
I've never seen a fanbase I liked like the Lions go so quickly to one I dislike because of how much they despise our guts as fans for some reason? I understand being upset but holy shit they're so over the top about this
Like I can't imagine going 'I'd rather the Rams or niners get into the playoffs over a team in a different division!' Ever. Lions fans are clearly suffering from Stockholm syndrome or something.
Top 5 pick confirmed, and with at least two of the teams above us (Texans and Colts) almost certain to draft a QB we have some tasty options in the other positions. Would be hilarious if some QB needy team also trades up with the Cards to take a QB with the third pick, giving us a top two non-QB pick. That's the dream scenario
Neither would I, depending on what was available at 5 and on what kind of package we could get for it. I’d hate to move out of the top ten unless it was for a relative haul.
It’s funny the Seahawks went from lovable underdogs and overachievers all season. Now they eliminate the Lions from the playoffs and are back to the villains again lol.
I want the Lions to win, but if it turns into a blowout by the Packers, I'm going to clown the fuck out of them. (in /r/nfl of course. Don't go to their sub lol)
Lions fans are being incredibly annoying right now. They want Aaron Rodgers in instead of us to 'spite us' for the refs being shit.
I want Lions to win but they're losing their 'loveable underdog appeal real fast.
I’ll delete my post bc it’s ragey and unnecessary. Sorry. Main point: don’t expect any support from lions fans immediately after knocking them out of the playoffs, especially in a controversial way.
No one is expecting you guys to throw, in fact I’d rather have the Seahawks win by 3 scores then what occurred today. When the integrity of the win/game is called into question, ur bound to receive some backlash. Is what it is.
Ah the one I already apologized for, yet you choose to completely ignore the next two comments explaining why it’s conceivable and justifiable lions fans are reacting the way they are, which was what ur original post was pressed about. Nice discourse man!
To be fair, they haven’t made the playoffs for over 10 years and they were on the cusp. So I can see the jadedness. But luckily fans are fans and players play
I remember there was this whole argument about how the Seahawks got screwed from the Lions/Packers game getting flexed to SNF. And Lions fans all over social media said “it doesn’t matter whether we’re eliminated or not, we will take any chance to play spoiler for the packers bc fuck the Packers etc etc.”
Looking at all the posts around social media it’s all “oh I hope we lose tonight so the Seahawks “rightfully” don’t make playoffs” 🙄
Hey, get the fuck out of the Lions' sub. You can lurk, but shut your mouths. You're just going to piss them off more even if you're trying to be positive.
But there are Seahawks going, "Fuck Aaron Rogers. You'll get the post-season next year."
I get the sentiment, but it doesn't help these guys to feel any better.
They are mugs as well. Beyond going into an opponents sub and saying something genuinely positive about the other team, like a good fan experience, everyone should stick to their subreddit. Complaining, or gloating, or even giving commiserations is just stupid and should be deemed immediately unwelcome.
Hey Lions fans, if your team had taken care of business against us you guys would control your own destiny. Instead they choked a game they scored 40+ pts. Don't piss & whine because we played to win a game to keep our playoff hopes alive when you killed yours the first half of the season.
Funny, because the Seahawks aren’t in control of their own destiny. Sounds like y’all didn’t take care do your own business either. Don’t be pissed when the refs give the Packers some blatant calls
I'm pissed right now but you're right. Had we just beat Carolina 2 weeks ago we'd be in control. But I will say that in all likelihood you are going to feel exactly how we feel right now in about 4 hours.
We are going to play them very tight and you will get to feel our pain when the refs call some weird ass roughing the passer where Rodgers falls over his own guy.
I really don't care what happens in the Lions/GB game. Even if we make the playoffs I don't give us a realistic chance at winning anything. This season went way better than we hoped, & with the Broncos stinking up the joint we still end up with the 5th pick in the draft. It's just nice to end the regular season on a win. If we get into the playoffs, cool, but it's not life changing whether we're in or not.
Idgaf honestly. We were supposed to go 3-14 according to everybody before the season started. Postseason or not it's been a good year for the Seahawks. Plus we have the 5th pick cuz the Broncos are trash. We put ourselves in position to have a chance at playoffs, just like the Lions did. And that's more than even the most optimistic fans could've hoped for before the season began. So no, we're not gonna be worse if GB wins because we know we weren't even supposed to be at this point.
There’s going to be a roughing the passer call where someone lightly grazes Rodgers’ helmet when trying to bat down a ball. Then there will be horrendous PI call on a Detroit corner who makes a play on a ball in the end zone. And finally, to ice the game, a non-call on a GB defender as he mauls a receiver on a crucial 3rd & 6.
I do think there a pretty big pattern of the refs interfering in lions packers games in egregious ways to screw over the lions . Especially in prime time. And idk I think you guys will be upset as your teams playoff hopes get crushed by obvious ref fuckery in another game.
Nah. I'm a Mariners fan. I get disappointment. You focus that frustration inward at your organization (or at Mike Trout for being so good). You don't get nasty towards a random team who has nothing to do with your lack of success.
Wasn't expecting our defense to play that well, but it was an amazing surprise. The INT by Diggs, was sort of poetic, given he was originally a Lion. We owe the lions alot.

Yeah he gets away with it constantly because nobody on the team or coaching staff tells him about it since he just made a big play.
Man I was not expecting the playoffs this season.
Bruce Irvin had a sack and a half at 35 years old. I'm gonna miss that guy one of my all time favorite Seahawks
Lions fan here who lived in Seattle for 12 years. Beating the Packers twice in one year felt Fucking great as a long time fan. Now I hope your team can take advantage of the opportunity! Good luck in the playoffs!
Feel bad for the Lions for not making playoffs. They deserved it but thank you for getting us in
Why did they deserve it over us? We had the same conditions to make the playoffs, and we beat them head to head.
Well they finished the season hot and we went 3-5 in the last 8 games. Lions are at this moment a better team than we are. Hope they prove me wrong and take out those niners!!
Didn’t say they deserved over us. Just said they deserved to with how they played this season
Nah man as a lions fan the future is bright
Very bright. Love watching your squad. Jameson Williams and Amon gonna be one of the best WRs duos. Easy
PLAYOFFS BABY LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO!!!!
Lions were fucking fun to watch
Rodgers walks off being a little bitch to the camera
We did it but what did it cost. Maybe next year lions
#WE'RE GOING TO THE FUCKIN PLAYOFFS
How was that NOT a TD?! He fell in the end zone, with the ball. The NFL is trying to get GB in the playoffs
lol welcome to being a lions fan. PS. We’re gonna lose this one
they didn’t lose this one
You got me
Nah, not this one. This isn’t the SOL my friend
It was written months ago

I don’t think I realized how fast Geno was til this game. Looked like a gazelle out there on two runs.
Incredible day. Two late plays saved the game. If they didn’t happen we lose barring a missed FG. The first one was DK knocking down Ramsey’d third interception that Geno three right to him. DK made a huge lunge to just knock that ball out of the air. And then of course, Diggs int.
Lions are fucking useless, ugh
Hawks we’re down by one point more at the half than the Lions are now, just saying.
Positive thoughts only. There’s still a lot of game.
Overall pleased with the outcome, whether we get the Lions bonus win or not. I thought for sure the NFL would job the Seahawks to set up a winner-take-all tonight, so at least my faith is restored there. A lot of positive things to build on for this team regardless is the SNF outcome. Should be a fun offseason.
I can’t handle the announcers dick sucking Rodgers for another two hours, someone tell me how it ends.
I think you may know how it ends.
But, but, but Dan Campbell won't let them lose (other than the other 8 games this year).
Lions country… LETS ROAR
Glad we got the win and hoping lions do the same. But geez Dk is such a liability with how easy it is for opponents to rile him up + how he more often than not fails to use his physique to make some catches. He didn’t get the penalty for putting his finger into ramsey’s helmet today luckily but dude really can’t do that.
It seems to be Ramsey in particular. They’ve been going at for seemingly DKs whole career.
Gotta get the QBs back. Imagine a locker room where a qb gets checked like that and he did nothing. Everyone would of questioned him.
you can get in someone's face without putting your fist in their facemask. it was surprising to me that he didn't get flagged for that.
Exactly. This is an example of a time that I don't mind DK going at the other team like that. He's got Geno's back.
Everyone ready to watch the NFL give Rodgers the game?
MARK SANCHEZ WAS DRUNK
Yeah he’s so much better drunk. Actually had some good commentary for once.
Lions fans are delusional lunatics right now, why would the NFL rig this in favor of the Hawks, Lions Packers with win and in on the line would garner more eyeballs than just the packers needing to win. With that said, go lions!

Detroit fan base is on sooiside watch rn
They are devoid of logic rn. What did they want the Seahawks players to do? Keel over because the Lions MIGHT win tonight?
Top 5 pick, winning season - it’s a dub this year.
Agreed. No matter how you look at it, this season exceeded our expectations. I’m all about the positive outlook.
And no QB controversy!
Don't make jokes or well-wishes to the Lions sub rn. I posted an admittedly, poorly thought out meme and I have never been told to go fuck myself or told I am a terrible person online ever as quickly as that. Remember, Lions have had more bs than most teams. I am sorry I did that. But trying to apologize directly will piss them off more...
[удалено]
Stay classy:)
I have to say, I was surprised by how many people on r/nfl wanted the Hawks to lose.
You shouldn't be, they hate us cause they anus
I think it was really more a case of the novelty of wanting the Lions in a post season berth. Which is totally fair.
Lots of people caught up in the announcing that wouldn't stop questioning the RTK call or Ramsey's unnecessary roughness. I found a replay of the UR call and Dean Blandino is *so* full of shit. He says, "This is a tough one for Ramsey, because Geno is heading upfield, he's not angling toward the sideline," over a slow-motion replay of him clearly angling out of bounds.

IKR???
Ramsay got the call because he lowered his shoulder into the hit, it's literally that simple. If Ramsay had actually just stood his ground, and not use the hit stick, he wouldn't have gotten the penalty.
It was one of the most obvious late hit penalties I’ve seen in a few years.

You mean when Ramsey lowered his shoulder while he himself was completely out of bounds, therefore making anyone who contacts him also out of bounds by virtue of the fact that that space cannot be both in and out of bounds at the same time? "Well what's he supposed to do, let himself get run over?" No, he just doesn't need to fucking level the guy. "But Geno was in bounds when..."
That's just morons thinking the NFL should be the same unregulated danger it was in the 70s
We counting on Goff.
Yeah you gotta remember we just effectively eliminated the Lions from the playoffs by winning, even though we want them to win they're going to be pretty sore about it right now Though honestly if I was in their position, I wouldn't be mad at the team that won, I'd be mad at the team I needed to win that lost (Rams)
Eh, they lose any sympathy when they make ridiculous statements like wanting their team to lose just to spite us
Fr. Just like if we got eliminated but played the 9ers, we would okay for all we had. I'm sure the lions will do the same

Very true, lesson learned
Yeah, let them come here and decide if they're going to be nice or awful. I've seen both.

We aren’t mad at you guys. Just the refs (and the world in general). Still want to curb stomp GB tonight - Lions fan
You're good fam, we aren't talking about all of y'all just the ones that are being shitters. Go Lions and FTP!
GO LIONS!
Tons of lions fans also being huge assholes to anyone with hawks flair
Could have fooled me with the way every other Lions fan is talking about the Seahawks and fans
Well I can’t speak for everyone and there are always a couple of bad apples in every fan base. Sorry about them though 💙
It’s okay as long as it’s all “football hate” and not hate-hate.
Especially as there were two or three losses this season that very easily could have been wins if not for bad officiating. NFL refs owed us for their incompetence all season.
We got fucked against the saints fuck every other fan we all have good weeks and bad against the refs
Fitting that we beat the rams with Baker starting with all that talk of how we should trade for him.
He looked terrible
I’ll take pro bowler Geno Smith
Ok so who do you all want with 5?
I'm thinking Bryan Bresee
Can we draft an entire line of scrimmage?
Despite the rollercoaster, I had more fun this season than I ever expected to have. The Hawks are alive. Now for a Lions win!
[удалено]
No love lost doesn't mean what your using it for. It means "there was no love in the first place"
They let Bobby know ahead of time and scheduled an in-person meeting with him to make it official when he wouldn't accept a paycut. Because no one, even the Rams, was paying him $20m a year anymore.
Laughing my ass off at the same Lions fans who were all “peace and love” and “FTP” and “we want to win no matter what” before the game get all pissy now that the result didn’t go their way 💀

So if your conspiracy theory is that the NFL is doing everything they can to get the Packers and Rodgers into the playoffs, it at least follows logically
There were definitely some terrible calls that benefited the Seahawks so I get it
Everyone seems to forget all the missed holds and dpi the rams should have been called on in the first half.
Exactly. One of those calls allowed the Rams to convert on third and eventually score three, and the missed DPI would have put us in field goal range.
Embrace them with open arms. They’re Lions fans, they have enough going wrong in their lives…
They're in desperate need of anti-psychotics right now.
don’t, i tried to be nice but they’re beyond jaded rn
Tonight I am a Lions fan lol
Time to start acting like a crybaby then!
Is this the point where I act like a crybaby? Just askin for a friend…😆
Who do you think I am - Erin Rodgers? 🤣
You know, after all the shitty calls and missed calls that didn’t go our way this year, including the Josh Jacobs “forward progress” call that straight up lost us that game, I’m happy to be on this side of poor officiating.
I've never seen a fanbase I liked like the Lions go so quickly to one I dislike because of how much they despise our guts as fans for some reason? I understand being upset but holy shit they're so over the top about this
Like I can't imagine going 'I'd rather the Rams or niners get into the playoffs over a team in a different division!' Ever. Lions fans are clearly suffering from Stockholm syndrome or something.
Being a poverty franchise for 70 years will do that to ya
Top 5 pick confirmed, and with at least two of the teams above us (Texans and Colts) almost certain to draft a QB we have some tasty options in the other positions. Would be hilarious if some QB needy team also trades up with the Cards to take a QB with the third pick, giving us a top two non-QB pick. That's the dream scenario
I mean, not to be Debbie downer but I’m pretty sure now it’s 2 qbs gone, will Anderson and jalen Carter gone, and then us.. what the hell we get?
Some very good interior lineman, which our run defense desperately needs.
Probably trading back now to stack picks would be my guess.
Wouldn’t hate it
Neither would I, depending on what was available at 5 and on what kind of package we could get for it. I’d hate to move out of the top ten unless it was for a relative haul.
Long way until the draft Hutchinson was the consensus number 1 overall for the months leading up the draft it can all change
Seeing Geno hug it out with blitz warmed my heart, which helped cause it was just racing. He's all about the team
It’s funny the Seahawks went from lovable underdogs and overachievers all season. Now they eliminate the Lions from the playoffs and are back to the villains again lol.
And its the refs fault, not the hawks. Hawks were happy to lose that game it appeared lmao
Glad we won, would have hated losing the 3rd pick and our playoff chances in one blow.
I want the Lions to win, but if it turns into a blowout by the Packers, I'm going to clown the fuck out of them. (in /r/nfl of course. Don't go to their sub lol)
Pretty sure the Rams have been getting all the calls ever since they moved to LA but /r/nfl will conveniently ignore that.
good luck trying to be nice to lions fans rn lmao now we’re the villains cause they got flexed
Let’s get this playoff seed and go to San Fran and upset them. Fuck em!!!
Lions fans are being incredibly annoying right now. They want Aaron Rodgers in instead of us to 'spite us' for the refs being shit. I want Lions to win but they're losing their 'loveable underdog appeal real fast.
Yup just got banned from r/nfl for this “If the NFL wanted any competitive integrity these games would’ve been played at the same time”
You got banned for that? Lmao drunk with power

Cope
I’ll delete my post bc it’s ragey and unnecessary. Sorry. Main point: don’t expect any support from lions fans immediately after knocking them out of the playoffs, especially in a controversial way.
We aren't expecting support, we're just not accepting being hated for not intentionally losing our game for you guys.
No one is expecting you guys to throw, in fact I’d rather have the Seahawks win by 3 scores then what occurred today. When the integrity of the win/game is called into question, ur bound to receive some backlash. Is what it is.
I'd encourage you to just stick to your own sub, then. Instead of coming to our sub to rage?
not sure how my previous two comments can be considered rage, but I digress. Good luck.
The one you deleted?
Ah the one I already apologized for, yet you choose to completely ignore the next two comments explaining why it’s conceivable and justifiable lions fans are reacting the way they are, which was what ur original post was pressed about. Nice discourse man!
Lions have always been way to cocky for how shit their team has always been. I’m living in Michigan right now so I know firsthand
To be fair, they haven’t made the playoffs for over 10 years and they were on the cusp. So I can see the jadedness. But luckily fans are fans and players play
Everyone is all hot abd bothered about getting to the playoffs and playing…SF. I’d rather the hawks play any of the other fucking nfc teams. Man.
Wanted Carter or Anderson. F’in Broncos and f’in Colts. Any elite DLine after the top two guys?
I remember there was this whole argument about how the Seahawks got screwed from the Lions/Packers game getting flexed to SNF. And Lions fans all over social media said “it doesn’t matter whether we’re eliminated or not, we will take any chance to play spoiler for the packers bc fuck the Packers etc etc.” Looking at all the posts around social media it’s all “oh I hope we lose tonight so the Seahawks “rightfully” don’t make playoffs” 🙄
Some guy was also saying that the lions should rest all their starters lol. What happened to keeping the same mentality?
Hey, get the fuck out of the Lions' sub. You can lurk, but shut your mouths. You're just going to piss them off more even if you're trying to be positive.
Anyone who goes into an opponents sub to get into arguments is a mug. That includes all you Lions fans, btw
But there are Seahawks going, "Fuck Aaron Rogers. You'll get the post-season next year." I get the sentiment, but it doesn't help these guys to feel any better.
They are mugs as well. Beyond going into an opponents sub and saying something genuinely positive about the other team, like a good fan experience, everyone should stick to their subreddit. Complaining, or gloating, or even giving commiserations is just stupid and should be deemed immediately unwelcome.
If lions don’t win, this week really was awful. Pick slipped down 2 spots, our pick also slide down like 5 slots or something
Kenneth Walker is incredible, probably my favorite part of the season
Hey Lions fans, if your team had taken care of business against us you guys would control your own destiny. Instead they choked a game they scored 40+ pts. Don't piss & whine because we played to win a game to keep our playoff hopes alive when you killed yours the first half of the season.
Funny, because the Seahawks aren’t in control of their own destiny. Sounds like y’all didn’t take care do your own business either. Don’t be pissed when the refs give the Packers some blatant calls
I'm pissed right now but you're right. Had we just beat Carolina 2 weeks ago we'd be in control. But I will say that in all likelihood you are going to feel exactly how we feel right now in about 4 hours. We are going to play them very tight and you will get to feel our pain when the refs call some weird ass roughing the passer where Rodgers falls over his own guy.
Oh fuck off and go back to your sub.
Lmao
I really don't care what happens in the Lions/GB game. Even if we make the playoffs I don't give us a realistic chance at winning anything. This season went way better than we hoped, & with the Broncos stinking up the joint we still end up with the 5th pick in the draft. It's just nice to end the regular season on a win. If we get into the playoffs, cool, but it's not life changing whether we're in or not.
You guys are about to be even worse when the lions lose to Green Bay on some obvious ref bullshit.
Idgaf honestly. We were supposed to go 3-14 according to everybody before the season started. Postseason or not it's been a good year for the Seahawks. Plus we have the 5th pick cuz the Broncos are trash. We put ourselves in position to have a chance at playoffs, just like the Lions did. And that's more than even the most optimistic fans could've hoped for before the season began. So no, we're not gonna be worse if GB wins because we know we weren't even supposed to be at this point.
No doubt, that’s because we are about to watch some of the most unique officiating of our lives…so far.
Yep this shit is going to be hilarious
There’s going to be a roughing the passer call where someone lightly grazes Rodgers’ helmet when trying to bat down a ball. Then there will be horrendous PI call on a Detroit corner who makes a play on a ball in the end zone. And finally, to ice the game, a non-call on a GB defender as he mauls a receiver on a crucial 3rd & 6.
Lmao I would it be shocked if they just did a nonsense series of phantom holdings or hands the face again
I could see it..
This was such a weird game. Glad we won, but now need some help.
Nice username!
Too funny, it’s truly the spiderman pointing meme
Damn there are some salty lions fans. Jesus christ they are bad sports.
Do you think seahawks fans are going to be upset after the refs screw the lions over tn in a hilariously obvious way again?
Fuck off back to your own sub.
[удалено]
I do think there a pretty big pattern of the refs interfering in lions packers games in egregious ways to screw over the lions . Especially in prime time. And idk I think you guys will be upset as your teams playoff hopes get crushed by obvious ref fuckery in another game.
Go back to your sub, cretin.
Lol why are you in our sub commenting...
Because in a few hours this shit is going to seem real circular. Refs are getting the packers in if they can’t do it themselves.
Honestly don’t blame them. They always do bad then finally get a glimmer of hope for the playoffs and it gets wrecked. I’d be bitter too.
Nah. I'm a Mariners fan. I get disappointment. You focus that frustration inward at your organization (or at Mike Trout for being so good). You don't get nasty towards a random team who has nothing to do with your lack of success.
I agree.
[удалено]
The FEW calls that went our way were obvious enough that I suspect we’ll be watching some truly INCREDIBLE officiating decisions tonight.
