Damn it hurts to see that. The injuries just sucked. When we finally win the SB, the Football Life doc is going to be unreal.

Glad to see him admitting this season is a failure. That’s exactly how I see it to. Maybe Josh Reynolds wasn’t the only guy we have that chokes in big games. Seems we might have others.

At the end of day the offense scored 31.
The defense had maybe 6-7 backups taking major minutes.
The NFL is built so that it is damn hard to win it all and even harder to win all the time. The reason is that you can only stack so much talent based on the cost model.
So when you have injured to key players injured it is like losing players to salary cap issues. But worse because you do not have a “cheap” replacement that might be as good.
I think it is the Ravens or Bills year anyway.
The Lions will be back and they will learn from this. This is how you build up a franchise.

And gave up 7. Net 24 points just wasn’t going to cut it.

Sorry but the “Crying Dan” routine isn’t doing it for me anymore
I got over that after we choked away the NFCC game in San Francisco LAST season

It’s not a routine. He’s authentic. It’s just him being him.

And I’m still over us ending every season watching it
I’m not gonna applaud him for it after we choke away the biggest games
Just win them
+8 Favorites at home…he SHOULD BE crying
You could just not watch that press conference. He cares about his team. I’m not going to bust his chops for not hiding the pain.

Which is what I did. I don’t need to watch it.
I have seen it too many times.
And I’m still not gonna applaud him for being emotional about choking away big games st home when we are huge favorites
Just win them and spare us having to see how emotional he gets after we choke.
I DNGF
It does piss you off a little when you realize the Commanders in the last 2 weeks have matched the playoff success of the Lions in the last 67 years. Maybe even surpassed it because we didn’t pull off a huge upset like they did. We beat 2 teams we were supposed to beat.

I don’t think we should applaud him and neither would Dan. Dan is just being Dan.
I feel confident that he is more disappointed then we are.
I’m still trying to process what happened last night. We had homefield advantage throughout the playoffs and a week off and we got the ever loving shit beat out of us.

Good
Maybe we won’t have to watch it for a third year in a row
Arguably best young QB in football. He doesn’t play like a rookie. We have a vet that sometimes does play like a rookie. Beat up defense with too many injuries.

Regardless this was my favorite lions season to watch In a long time. Be happy we have a Super Bowl caliber roster. On to next year. Keep the bad taste in your mouth and let it motivate you.

Jeez man, the guy is pouring his heart out after the team lost a gut wrenching game taking the blame for it mind you and you trash the guy?
Yeah they choked in the moment and it’s disappointing but this is harsh. The reality is that it’s very hard to win a Superbowl, Campbell and Holmes have brought this franchise to heights that none of us imagined it could get to and it’s just the beginning so while I get the disappointment and I sure was big time in the heat of the moment last night, maybe show this guy some respect for what he’s done. Just my opinion

We saw it last year
It’s getting old. I don’t need to be reminded that Dan feels terrible when his team chokes
How many seasons are we supposed “appreciate” the lions choking in the final game of the season and then pat Dan on the back for being so emotional about it?
In case you didn’t notice, we were the overwhelming best team in the NFL.
And we didn’t make it as far as last year. We went One-And-Done as big favorites at home.
That’s not exactly going in the right direction
A lot of fans here starting to sound pretty damn entitled. From 2018-2022 we won 26 games. The last two years we won 27. Maybe this quick success is a little too much for some fans. Some fans I think would rather go through winning an average of 5 games per season than have a successful season and lose in the playoffs.
For me….i’ll take hope for next season rather than the despair of thinking it will never get better.

Me too
And I’m still not going to celebrate Dan crying on the podium after we choke away games we should win in the playoffs
It’s not the “badge of honor” some people here think it is. It just proves they didn’t get the job done that they were expecting to
A choke job is a choke job no matter how many regular season wins you have
