znModerator"How often does a game not only live up to, but exceed all expectations?
Stafford was sensational in his Detroit return.
Goff was magnificent.
And the @Lions fans delivered and more."

znModeratorThey really loved watching Stafford in this game.
.
znModeratorListen to the whole thing. He does a commerical at one point so just skip over that because there’s more. He has really high praise for Stafford.
January 15, 2024 at 2:28 am in reply to: plays & highlights & other visual aids: the Lions game #148747znModeratorLions came out in a heavy personnel group with extra linemen, which forced the Rams to come out in a heavy personnel group. Then the Lions lined up with trips receivers. Hoecht ended up on LaPorta by default as no one else to defend him. pic.twitter.com/UGLtw1m81K

znModeratorWith fans having chanted his name from the moment he hit the field for pregame warmups, part of what Goff would later call “the best home game atmosphere he has ever experienced,” he rewarded them with a fiery start. He hit his first 14 passes and finished the first half 16 for 18 for 194 yards and a touchdown. Goff’s TD throw to aΒ less-than-full-strengthΒ Sam LaPorta put the Lions up 21-10….
…
Goff’s secret? He took the focus off himself as best he could and focused his energies more broadly. “I just kept going back to what this game was about, and it was about us,” Goff said. “It was not about them. It was not about me. It was not about my history there. It wasn’t about anyone on their team or any coaches. It was about us. It was about the 53 in this locker room, our coaches and this organization getting a playoff win in front of our home crowd.”
znModeratorIβm heading over to the Mirage right now to collect my winnings on the Rams +3.
Well done.
znModeratorHEART: This hurts. They almost had the game…
HEAD: Even being in the playoffs exceeded expectations for a young team and promises a great future. Yes losing is bitter but this wasn’t their year–they’re so young, there’s a lot that must be improved, and they would have lost in the post-season at some point anyway. By losing now, they get a higher draft pick. Be proud of their season and take solace in the fact that their future is bright.
HEART: Oh gee great thanks, that was all pretty well said for a Seattle fan….
znModeratorRams outplayed Detroit. They were the better team. More yards. More yards per play. Same third down efficiency.

znModeratorRams Brothers@RamsBrothersSeason full of over-achieving for the 2023 Los Angeles Rams.β’ Stafford, Kupp and Donald stayed healthy for a majority of the season. Combined, they only missed 6 games (excluding the finale).
β’ Offensive line was your biggest question mark in 2022. 2023 brought us Steve Avila and Kevin Dotson. The unit as a whole performed exceedingly well, based on expectations.
β’ Defensively, rookies Kobie Turner and Byron Young proved to be viable starters and potential stars. The Rams may lose Raheem Morris, but schematically, they got the most out of econdary that had the most turnover in the league.
β’ Special Teams was a dud. But, Ethan Evans will be a starter for the foreseeable future and they loved their long snapper (Alex Ward) before he got hurt. Kicker will be addressed in the draft or via FA.
FUTURE IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT
znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueSean McVay said during his postgame press conference that he was not sure whether Matthew Stafford was evaluated for a concussion, then looked to a team spokesperson next to him for clarity and that spokesperson said he was. Stafford later added he hurt his ribs as well.znModeratorPuka Nacua.Β Good lord. Iβd like to think, βJust wait until next year,β but I donβt see how he can improve on his game. Likeβ¦ how?
Analysts I’ve seen have shown that he still runs routes like a rookie and can improve in that area. He’s just so great at contested catches, it’s not always visible that yes he can improve his route running (and most likely will). At one point he led the league in drops. His catch percentage for 2023 was 65.6%, which is respectable but can be improved. For example in his best years, Kupp was in the mid 70s–around 74% to 76% depending on the year. So PN can improve in that respect too.
And. Just imagine. π

Not only did the Lions just win their first playoff game in 32 years, that was just their second playoff victory since 1957.Blaine Grisak@bgrisakTST
I do think this game shows how much the Rams need a playmaker in the secondary and another pass rusher.Defense grew into the game and Morris called a great second half. But 21 first half points was tough to overcome.
