Lions are cursed just like us. It’s some kind of rust belt plague that has inflicted Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo. I have no idea how Pittsburgh avoided it.

Chuck Noll sacrificed to pagan gods.  No other way to explain how he won 4 SBs in 6 years back in the 70s.

Are the Lions trying to win the game or just cover the spread ?

One positive from this game is that the 49ers got much needed experience having to come from behind against the Packers and Lions. If they're caught trailing the Chiefs, they won't blink. I believe in that kind of experience mattering.

 

One negative is that the 49ers relied on a lot of mistakes that the Chiefs aren't likely to make. They need to start the game much stronger than they have the past two weeks.

You are right. I have said for a while that the Niners are not built to come from behind and can’t do it. I thought for sure GB would put them away. 
 

they proved me (and others) wrong and have now figured out how to play this way.

So how was their gawdawful kicker doing on grass outside of 45yrdds during pregame.

Please tell us since you're so much smarter than everybody else.

Did he tell Josh Reynolds to drop two crucial passes? Did he pull a horseshoe out of his ass like Purdy did on the pass to Aiyuk. The guy turned the whole franchise around and everyone turns on him in a matter of minutes 😂

Not the point

McCaffrey on the sideline grimacing as they apply pressure to his upper back/neck area.  I'm pretty sure he hurt himself when he landed with full body weight on his head.  That could have a huge implication for the Super Bowl.  Once the adrenaline wears off he's going to be a hurting puppy.

I think SF gives them a better game.  Goff is immobile.  Campbell gives away points.  Detroit pass defense is porous.  Oh yeah...and then there's all the drops by Detroit WRs.

I agree, I think KC might have destroyed Detroit. I’d be happy with a KC loss, but the downside is a SF victory doesn’t make me very happy either. I’d rather see a team like Detroit win.

pollution from Lake Erie?!

If that ball that bounced off of the Lions DB fell to the turf instead of into Aiyuk's hands the Lions win this game. I know people on this board love absolutes and hard reasons for wins and losses, but sometimes it really is luck.

You ALWAYS take the points when it puts you up by 3 scores in the 2nd half.

 

ALWAYS.

 

And it also changed the momentum.

 

Glad I could educate you.

A 45 yard FG attempt isn't "taking the points." People act like he turned down 3 free points. I think the conversion chance of 4th and 2 is about equal to converting a FG from that distance.

A 45+yrd FG on that grass is not "taking the points"

And if you don't know the answer to that question, maybe you should stop being an ass to other people.

Credit to the NFL scriptwriters, though. At least we get the superbowl we ALL wanted to see

You guys just don’t listen. The list is us, lions, browns and Vikings. Those teams are cursed. 49ers, patriots, cowboys, Steelers are on the blessed list. This game is a perfect example. Add the talent of the 49ers roster and having a bad qb doesn’t even matter. It’s insane.
