People who are calling for Dan Campbell to be fired because they lost in the championship game are so dumb. DC is the best thing that’s happened to this organization.

[@smugegeez1406]

It truly wasnt even his fault either, the entire lions team flopped the entire second half. Dropping easy first down conversion passes, overthrown deep balls to guys who were wide open, TONS of missed tackles, fumbling the ball, missing two easy interceptions one in which lead to a miracle completion. If the lions took advantage of even half of the opportunities they were given in the 2nd half the game wouldn't have come down to a simple field goal call. People who say its his fault they lost are delusional.

[@iamskyfall]

It's a bit like the Chargers overreacting to choking against the Patriots in 2006 and firing Marty Schottenheimer after a 14-2 season. Just plain dumb. Though, Norv Turner reaching the AFC Championship game the following season, only slightly vindicates that move. Firing Dan Campbell would be the dumbest move the Lions could possibly make.

It's weird to see fans of other teams be happy for the Lions. It was fun to actually be able to root for a good team once again, but it was especially fun to root for this particular team. The remind me of that 04 Pistons team that beat the Lakers in the Finals. They play hard, aren't particularly flashy and they're good because they're a well built squad and not because they happen to have one amazing player.

​​@@BiggieTrismegistus100% I recommend to everyone their draft documentary of last season. Brad and Dan are always working as one mind.

They should be a better team overall but u never know. 12 wins is a lot so if they can get that or even 11 and win the division again that would be great! U only hope that Lion fans don’t already think and act like they’re a team that is supposed to win every game or make it/win a SB or it’s a suck season. I know u want to be better then last year but honstely, if they can get back to the NFC title game that would be ridiculously great!

Crazy that people blame Goff for the rams superbowl failure. Belichick completely exposed and shut down Mcvays system. So much so that the Rams didn't recover from it for a few seasons and needed to completely adjust there O. Putting that on Goff was the biggest scapegoat.

I'm an eagles fan. After half a year of Matt Patricia at DC...... I'm so so so sorry Lions fans. You deserve the world

[@dean3616]

Been a lions fan for over 30 years and was by far the best season of my life. Thanks for the lions video and love your channel

[@FranklyImaPerson]

I remember being made aware of the Lions during their 0-16 season, and I decided right there that I was going to be a Lions fan, despite living nowhere close to detroit, because someone had to. There has been setback after heartbreak after collapse but i always felt the team went down swinging, even when they would often pull defeat from the jaws of victory and find new and exciting ways to lose. I'm so happy for their recent success, I am thrilled that other people have been made aware of the grit and dogged resilience that i feel defines this team and the city they rep. It feels great that the team finally feels like it has its feet under them and the future is looking bright.

Bro this video made my day! Unlike other content creators, you did Motor City Dan and the Lions justice! Thanks ma! I appreciate it!!!lets Go Lions!!!!

[@krgood9008]

I am so proud of this team. Yeah the loss hurt, but it hurts because for the first time in my life this team made it that close. What Dan Campbell, Jared Goff and the rest of the team has done for this franchise is amazing and none of them should be hanging their heads right now. I’m proud to be a Lions fan.

[@bigjared8946]

Live by the Dan, die by the Dan. It didn't work out on this particular day but it's going to. This season will season them. The Lions are going to a FORCE for the next few years.

Released this with the timing of johnson returning lol

Fucking Perna. Every time the commentators said Amon-Ra’s name during the playoffs, All I heard was Brandon singing Amon-Ra ra ra ra ra… ra ra…. Ra ra ra… Ra ra ra ra ra… ra ra…. Ra ra ra… Ra ra ra ra ra… ra ra…. Ra ra ra… Ra ra ra ra ra… ra ra…. Ra ra ra… Ra ra ra ra ra… ra ra…. Ra ra ra…

[@TheInfiniteSlash-]

Consider this is only the second time the Lions have made the NFC championship for a just a moment, Dan Campbell has been the best thing to come to the Lions franchise in a long time. I'm a believer in this team, that they will find their way here again under DC. As a Jags fan I would trade Doug for Dan any day, but that isn't gonna happen.

[@washburnbilly]

These guys are the real deal, and they should be proud of what they accomplished! Because they did so much better than expected! and hats off to Campbell for getting me exited about getting them one game away from the big game.

Brian Branch got ROBBED.

[@DeadKaat]

Brandon you forgot the word "the" in the title just as a heads up, excellent work as always brother

[@LateNightTableCo]

19:13 Every time I think of the Lions and why I started rooting for them (despite being a Vikings fan), I think of Tree’s recap of this game vs the Seahawks in Week 4 of 2022. His words were “The Lions may be a 1-3 team but they’re a DAMN interesting 1-3 team.” And the rest, is history. I’ll be a Vikings fan until the day I die, but I can admit I felt a little pride watching the Lions claw and bite their way to the top of our division these past two years.

[@Chinger98]

Remember Detroit, you have the same number of playoff wins this season as Dallas in the last seven. From barely missing the playoffs last year to a top 4 team is impressive. The future is bright. Keep your heads up, you'll be back next year and maybe get even further.

Ole No Field Goal Dan

[@matthewjohnson9822]

We don't have faith in our kickers. That's why we switched in the middle of the year. Get one this year and we will

[@zpdrsn6315]

The “no fuckin nerds” killed me.

[@Subhuman_Gamer]

I'm so pumped for a lions dynasty. LFG!!!!!

[@derekbrandell8520]

That was beautiful Brandon. Just what I needed after that loss.
