Gameday Thread: NFC Championship GRIT vs 9ers.

[jaadam4]

I'm going to the game! Scored some tickets and going there with a couple of ex-pat Detroiters. We going to take the train down to Santa Clara, hit up the Lions tailgate, and root the Lions on to victory!

I just realized... the last Bay Area football game I went to was when the Lions played the Oakland Raiders at McAfee Stadium, in 2007, for the season opener. We were right behind the Lions bench. It was Calvin Johnson's first NFL game (70 yards and a TD, btw), Rod Marinelli was the head coach, and the Lions won. Oh, and there was this big meathead white boy blocking tight end on the team back then, some guy named Campbell.....

Hopefully, my role as a Lions' good luck charm continues!

You’ve got to be kidding?!?! You scored tix!! That’s amazing bro. Please take pics and share later

The Lions biggest advantage going into this game is that San Francisco will be feeling and playing with tons of pressure to not lose tonight. This could very well be their last shot at a Super Bowl. Get pressure on Purdy and make him beat you with his arm. He will give you an opportunity to get some turnovers like he did against Green Bay.

Regardless of the outcome, it's been a season for the ages for us. Had double the number of playoff wins in the past 2 wks than they had in like 50 plus years. First division title in 30 plus years. Most wins in a season in franchise history.

No matter what happens, we should hold our heads high. Everyone in this organization should.

That said, let's go get this NFC Championship

Here we are. I started watching in 1993. A junior in high school when the massacre against Washington happened twice in the 1991 season happened. This team has surpassed all expectations this year. I want to try to be about "best team wins" which is where this is at, but this is a perhaps once in a lifetime shot to see this thing break through. I know they are building for longer term but you don't get this far easily. This team. This chance. THIS time. TODAY.

Where is Turkish?

Great to see you post, Niffla ……. And err, sort of remembering Taylor Swift being better looking than that!

Could you folks do me a favor, please?

I'm in the hospital recovering from surgery and I cant get loud. So would someone give an extra hoot and holler for me?.
