OT: NFL Monday night - Discussion - who will the Lions face - Philly or Tampa
It’s Monday evening on MLK Day. Michigan football is national champions. Men’s hoops defeated the Buckeyes in A2 with the Fab Five in attendance - and, the Lions opponent for the Divisional round is being determined.
Tampa is host the Eagles - and the winner of tonight’s game travels to Ford Field to face the Lions next weekend.
There’s six minutes left in the first quarter and Tampa’s already built a 10-0 lead.
Are you watching? What do you think?

I don't think they care about that. They might get jealous if Tampa puts any Hitlers on the scoreboard though.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:25 PM ^
They talked up Philly running for 200 plus in a match up earlier this season. Hurts has a boo boo on his finger and no AJ Brown, so of course they've ran it like 3 times so far. Science.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:27 PM ^
Can you tackle a guy by his helmet now?
January 15th, 2024 at 9:31 PM ^
Called it.
… unlike the refs.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:28 PM ^
Lol, the offsides helped. Shoved that brotherly shove up their behinds.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:28 PM ^
Sirianni's going to get canned, isn't he?
January 15th, 2024 at 9:30 PM ^
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy
January 15th, 2024 at 9:31 PM ^
JH to Philly??
January 15th, 2024 at 9:36 PM ^
Sure. It's built to win. Close to Baltimore and in the NFC.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:34 PM ^
And Patricia too, I hope.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:35 PM ^
I like having Patricia employed by other NFC teams.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:31 PM ^
Correct answer is “yes” 😂😂
January 15th, 2024 at 9:32 PM ^
Quick Google search tells me that this will be the 1st year ever that Detroit has hosted TWO playoff games. Bring on whoever.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:32 PM ^
Why go for two?
January 15th, 2024 at 9:34 PM ^
The offsides moved them closer on a conversion and that play has been automatic all year. They assumed it was free points.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:45 PM ^
I stepped away and didn’t see the penalty.
I still like the one. TD and XP gives you the lead.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:53 PM ^
Don't feel bad, the refs were right there staring down the line and didn't see it...
January 15th, 2024 at 9:34 PM ^
Because they were 18/19 on converting one-yard pushes like that.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:32 PM ^
Baker looks great.
He's always been a gamer.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:46 PM ^
Hard not to like a guy that planted his flag in the horseshoe.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:49 PM ^
In the terlet bowl…
January 15th, 2024 at 9:36 PM ^
If you've got a Buccaneers jersey on, you're probably wide open.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:40 PM ^
But then you dropped the pass….
January 15th, 2024 at 9:39 PM ^
The pros muff punts in playoff games, too.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:47 PM ^
As bad as Philly has played, they are definitely in this game and start the 2nd half with the ball
January 15th, 2024 at 9:52 PM ^
That sounds familiar...
January 15th, 2024 at 10:23 PM ^
And with each punt it seems more and more familiar.
January 15th, 2024 at 9:52 PM ^
I'm fairly confident that the Lions can beat either one of these teams
January 15th, 2024 at 10:11 PM ^
Offsetting penalties suck.
Flip a coin or something.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:13 PM ^
They finally called a PI.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:28 PM ^
Safety!
Late to this thread, but as bad as Philly has been on paper they are far better than Tampa and I want no part of Philly. Go Bucs Go (until next week).
January 15th, 2024 at 10:30 PM ^
Fuck Philly, they've quit. You just hate to see it
January 15th, 2024 at 10:30 PM ^
Touchdown Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just realized that sentence + !'s probably should never be said on this site again lmao
January 15th, 2024 at 10:30 PM ^
Holy crap Philly. You are garbage.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:31 PM ^
These last two series have been a devastating momentum swing, and the look on these Eagles’ faces reminds me of watching the Lions under Matt PatRichRod
January 15th, 2024 at 10:34 PM ^
We just have to beat these guys. I mean we did it before at their house. Haven't we suffered enough?
January 15th, 2024 at 10:35 PM ^
Should be able to. Philly's non-defense is making them look better than they are. Oh, well, I guess Lions aren't known for their defense, but it's better than this.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:38 PM ^
Listening to the Manning Bros call games is a ton of fun.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:41 PM ^
Just tuned in. As much as I hate all 3 of these people I actually don't mind this.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:42 PM ^
Just 3 guys watching ball together
January 15th, 2024 at 10:44 PM ^
They had Bruce Arians on in the first half and it was hilarious.
Listening to these guys talk about the game and telling stories is a good time.
Ray Lewis isn't as much fun.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:47 PM ^
Jimmy would look good in midnight and Kelly green if he’s bent on leaving.
No rude NCAA or Warde Manuel shenanigans.
Top 5 ownership and GM in the league w a loaded, albeit, aging roster.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:47 PM ^
Well that's the ballgame unless something stupid happens.
Tampa Bay vs Detroit @ Ford Field next Sunday
January 15th, 2024 at 10:47 PM ^
This team is broken. Epic collapse after the super bowl and starting 10-1.
Heads will roll
January 15th, 2024 at 10:48 PM ^
Interesting decision there. I agree with it, but it didn't work out. Great offsides penalty for the Bucs. This is where Mayfield has to be careful - he's done a good job this year cutting down the turnovers, but he'll have to be extra-careful on third downs not to change the momentum.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:52 PM ^
I'm surprised they're throwing. Being up 16 even a 3 and out isn't the end of the word. They have to score two TDs in the last 9 minutes (after having scored 1 the first 51) AND they have to convert 2 2-pt conversions (which they've failed on their only attempt). Even if they manage to do ALL of that, they still only force overtime.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:55 PM ^
Another brilliant insight from Troy Aikman: to gain yards you have to play, you have to be on the field.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:58 PM ^
They Sing Mr. Brightside and now they want to sing Don't Stop Believin'? You realize you aren't Detroit or Michigan?
January 15th, 2024 at 11:05 PM ^
not even south detroit.
January 15th, 2024 at 10:58 PM ^
I've never seen a team use all three clock-kill time outs with seven minutes remaining. I guess, why not, but it seems rather defeatist.
Football is so much better muted. I don't have to have any Tony Romo opinion.
