NFC Championship Game Thread: Detroit Lions (12-5) at San Francisco 49ers (12-5)

Ever since my wife stopped watching the game the 49ers made their come back. We not letting her watch the game again. Hahaha

HOLY. SHIT. I love this team

I could believe that there will be lots of 49haters saying "They are so lucky that an int was converted into a catch, and Lions had a fumble"

And lots of Purdy-haters will yell "Purdy's throw was terrible. He was lucky to have Aiyuk/Kittle/CMC/...."

Well, we're a team. We fight together, even from the hell or inferno.

Holy fucking shit Aiyuk. Bless that man

God bless Brandon Aiyuk

Hoooooly shit, what a lucky break. Great reactions from Aiyuk though. And the TD brings it back to one score, COME ON!!!!

Unbelievable game. As good as we've been there's definitely been a feeling we can't win when things go wrong. I think the last two weeks have disproven that. Let's FUCKING GO!

Not a bad bit of Game Management™ from young Purdy! :-)

How in the fuck did we win that game??????? Jesus what an absolute non stop stressfest

I am not aging well over here! Let’s go D!

Real glad I didn't go to bed! GOOOOOO NINNNNEEEERRRRRRSSSSSS!!!!!

Almost time! Whatever happens, I'm repping the NFC in the super bowl.

Well, this has been suboptimal so far. FFS...

CMC is finding his way. Now our D team needs a change

Bang Bang! We’re headed to the Super Bowl! Super proud of these last two games.

Boys need a good rally in that locker room. There’s a lot of game left.

OMG!!!

Going to the Super Bowl. Fuck yeah!!!!

I try my best to stay away from reddit, but had to checkout the eagles subreddit after that one: https://www.reddit.com/r/eagles/comments/1adftd1/game_thread_nfc_championship_game_detroit_lions/?sort=confidence

so much salt.

Crazy game. Heart beat 110+. Fingers trembles.

Yeahhhhh, CMC!!!

And well done Moody on the PAT, hopefully that settles him.

Ugh, this is unbearable. Just deal with the onside kick, that's all we have to do...

Ok, 3am now, got work tomorrow, night night Niner nation! We're going to the SUPERBOWL!!!

Let's go defence, finally a big stop! Now, one TD and it's game on again as Detroit start to get worried about throwing away a winning situation.

Now we have a tied game! Brand new game!

Textbook catch & standing with toes

Well now maybe announcers will shut the fuck up about 9ers playing from behind. Stats don’t predict everything, even history doesn’t. This is fucking awesome.

oof, our D team is not ready for the ground game yet

CMC! Now defense please wake up

This is incredible, what a comeback! Suddenly we're 2 scores up with 3 minutes to go!

Finally stopped their 3rd&10

Let’s go Niners!! Time for 3 hours of pants-shitting terror

This game is insane.

Our defence needs some consistency. In the last drive in 2nd quarter, we had good def plays, but we let them have first downs at 34d & long

Good man, Moody, 2 scores now.

Bang bang

This miss FG is hard. Now they have a good start position

We are getting an insane amount of lucky breaks here. I want to believe but we’ve had so many devastating losses before

Oh, our QB protection is terrible. The pocket was crashed sooo fast

Jesus, I'm so nervous to see a 42 yard FG

Bosa! Ok, this time, can we make it stick?

This 4nd&2 is killing my heart

Our defense keeps stacking up in places they don’t need to be. Then Detroit just runs right by them. Undisciplined and unsound defense.

Our defense is getting overwhelmed by these good opponents in the playoffs. Is it the play calling? We have so much talent I don’t get it…

1am here and I'm wondering if it's even worth staying up for the second half. Ugly stuff.

3&12 and they have a rush first down. Terrible play call

Run D is the worst.

Just posting to get this to 69 comments. Nice.

Cool, just what we need. Nonexistent run defense

Team looks like they’ve given up already. Straight up domination by the Lions

Give up a 3rd and 12 run then a 3rd and 18. This defense is useless.
