[@staticinmotion8614]

I always see comments in these videos about how you exactly capture the emotions each fanbase went through over the season. I always felt like it was probably a bit of an exaggeration. Nope. That dead-eyed, soul-leaving-your-body stare after the Panthers game was my exact reaction. Everything else was exactly on point as well. Fantastic work, as always.

[@I-Dont-want-a-handle]

As a Lions fan I can say this is 100% accurate, really captured how every Detroit Lion fan felt as the season went on.

My neighbor is the biggest Lions fan, he has patiently (well, not so patiently) been waiting for a video like this his whole life. A video of hope!

[@aliwantizu]

As a Lions fan, I really appreciated this (and had been waiting for it tbh.) My favorite part was when he said the Lions won because another team missed a FG, and that's how we usually lose. Yep. Oh, and I haven't forgotten how he predicted the Lions would be called for a questionable hands to the face call against A-Ron and the Pack prior to the final game. Thanks Tom! ~Be Blessed

[@powerofk]

Yeah, after years and years of the Lions losing in the craziest ways possible (think Aaron Rodgers' "Miracle in Motown" or the 2021 Thanksgiving game against the Bears and the record-setting FG as time expired, and yet, knowing as a Lions fan that both of those endings seemed somehow inevitable) And yeah. The Lions also have a history of getting smacked with phantom calls.

[@Inzaynmembrain97]

The Lions only went 9-8 but this is still probably the greatest season I’ve ever watched as a Lions fan even though I’ve watched seasons where they went to the playoffs they weren’t nearly as exciting as this season was

[@silverking8742]

Omg I know. We were so close to being a 12-5 team too. We should've won the first viking game , the Thanksgiving bills game and the dolphins game. Actually we were very close to winning the eagles game and the Seahawks game too. We were definitely a lot better than our record. This season is going to be off the chain I can't freaking wait. Now we got Jameson Williams right from the start and Marvin Jones Jr back plus Aman ra st brown next to them, plus CJ Gardner and then Montgomery next to swift. James Houston and Hutchinson on the line. Kirby Joseph is 🔥. As long as Goff performs as well as he did last year then we will definitely win some playoff games

[@EverythingTheorist]

It's finally here! You basically nailed how I felt every week. All the lows, all the highs, the glory of the draft, the "moral victories", Kerby Joseph, narrowly getting knocked out of the playoffs. Bravo.

Brown, Marvin Jones Jr, Aiden Hutchinson, James Houston, Kirby Joseph, CJ Gardner I mean come on what a fire lineup. I just pray we get that kicker from Michigan. We desperately need a good kicker. Kickers are so underrated. I just know everyone is expecting the lions to do really good this year and I hope they don't fold under the pressure because if we don't make the playoffs this year it's going to be very bad for us fans. I think a lot of fans will finally be done. So let's go lions 🦁🦁🦁🦁
