Absolutely nuts that either the Vikes or Lions (likely Vikes), going to be 14-3 and a 5 seed...on the road in the playoffs.
Any questions?
Hope the NFC comes down to Philly and Detroit…the best team will win….
Best offense against best defense….
Any given Sunday….but not this Sunday
never got into stoney & wojo, only 1130 WDFN show host I listened to was Damon Parry, in the the morning. guess he was only there a couple of years before moving on.
Greg Brady was a regular at the station, now doing Toronto morning drive.
1270 never came in clear enough ...

Sorry Mr Bowling and DD…was looking forward to an Eagle/Lion matchup….
You called Wash QB a bust….you mutt
This guy said it best
But in the end, this was a completely wasted opportunity.
Yes, they earned the No. 1 seed. Yes, they won the NFC North.
But they wasted it.
This was like getting a brand-new car, driving it off the lot and getting in a nasty wreck — then, to make it even worse, getting a ticket from the cops to boot.
In the end, all that is left is a bunch of wreckage.
Frustration. Anger. And nothing but disappointment.

&^^^^ a 28 point 2nd Q
The level of betrayal is so severe, there should be a criminal investigation. This asshole Ben Johnson became head coach of the Chicago Bears while he was still Lions offensive coordinator and made overt moves to hurt the Lions while the season was still active. Never seen anything like it.
C'mon, you can't call that betrayal. The entire world knew Johnson was going to get a HC job; if not the Bears, it would've been elsewhere. So he calls Allen to gauge interest. How long after the 2024 National Champ did DeBoer take the Bama job? Next day? This stuff happens. Let's not be naive.
He pursued the job while still coaching the Lions. He took the job while still coaching the Lions and recruited fellow assistant coaches to leave with him. His offensive gameplan was putrid in the Redskins game. He completely checked out. This stuff does not happen.
Detroit lost the playoff game because their defense was ravaged by injuries. The Bears pursued Ben. He had other suitors.
I understand this is a business. Every John Rocker for heself. But there is a right and a wrong way to do it. You need to be all in until it is over. He wasn't. He checked out before the game that would have made history. 1st ever NFC Championship game in Motown.
521 yards total offense in that game. FIVE turnovers. Let's face it, by post season the Lions were a shell of their peak last year. One of many reasons I believe Wash will be overrated this year was that game. But it was fraudulent as the Lions were completely decimated on the defensive side and handed them 5 extra possessions.
