This is the Playoffs if you take anyone lightly you'll get blown out, see Dallas. Having said that I live in Tampa and they seem to think we are very, very, beatable. People just can't get out of their heads how historically bad we've been. Detroit won't get any legit respect until the super bowl up 7 at halftime...and even then maybe not.
The host of this show does not respect the Bucs at all… as Bucs Fan I respect the Lions. I hope the players in the Lions don’t have the same attitude as this host because if they do it’s gonna be a rude awakening. Good luck Lions may the better team win
Can’t overlook this game, very hard to beat a team twice let alone in the playoffs. We have got to get rid of the predictable second and long runs up the middle with Gibbs we seemed to fall in love with last game putting us in many third and longs. Stretch the field with Jamo and open it up underneath! Defense gets to Baker this Sunday and the games ours to lose. I’m also an everydayer looking for a shoutout!!!
Gibbs did lead the league in 20 yard runs. Maybe they have to tweak some things, but I'm pretty sure that the Lions have several plays that they have worked on and never used.
I think that is crap. Who says you can't beat a team twice. If you play better than they do, twice, you will beat them twice. That simple. There is no unseen force there.
The 1st thing that Sheila did was vital to the Lions rebuild, was hiring Chris Speilman to help her. My favorite Buckeye, wait he's only 3 that I like.
@@donaldlawson9799 😂😂😂 and the Lions arent? We’re so far ahead of schedule in this rebuild. We’re still 2 drafts and 2 free agent periods away from being a complete team. 2-3years after the super bowl win and 75% of the roster being the same is why they barely were a .500 team and could only put up 9pts on the Panthers and lost to the Saints by 10, they got lucky and played a Eagles team that quit on the coaching staff. Keep them chests puffed out….Lions aint the Eagles we hit back.
With all due respect, we need to stay on point. Remember how you viewed the Packers on thanksgiving? Or the Bears going to Chicago? This is a potential trap game. Tampa is playing with house money….
Tampa is like Detroit last year, finishing 9-8 and on hot streak. They can’t be overlooked, ohhh and there QB was cast aside for an upgrade and is playing with vengeance (sound familiar). Not to mention the new OC in Tampa is why Russel Wilson and then Geno Smith were so good for a while. Gonna be another tough Matchup… Let’s Go Lions!!!
22:40 Teams always feel comfortable stealing anything from any Detroit team that has any type of success! National and even local media loves putting the spotlight on Ben Johnson, but we never hear this type of stuff happen to other successful teams. Kansas City Chiefs Baltimore Ravens San Francisco 49ers Green Bay Packers Miami Dolphins Buffalo Bills I rarely see these kinds of teams offensive/defensive coordinators get reported by the National Media , but Detroit Lions always are the ones with the spotlight on them.
I'm glad the Lions aren't looking past the Bucs. As for Pro Bowlers, the Cowboys had five and the Packers had none. Packers were on the road against an undefeated team at home. How did that work out? The Bucs play very hard so it will be another dogfight. The Lions SHOULD win. They have a great home field advantage and a much better roster. Then again, this is the NFL, which means any given Sunday.
Ben Johnson taking interviews during the playoffs. I thought he said he wasn't focusing on coaching until the season was over. These teams should have some business decorum conducting interviews during the season
I don't think that Mayfield will have nearly any of the time that he had against the Eagles. Tampa blitzing and Goff will pick them apart in play action. Hutchinson, 7 sacks the last 3 games.
We absolutely should win this game, even if we have some backups in we should win this game. Don't get me wrong, any given Sunday and all that... But really this game should not even be close.
We’ve been here before. Mike Evans breaks the shackles lose and goes for 190-200 with 2 tds. If Mike chooses to go off not a single lion on that team can do a damn thing about it
@@alexanderlapp5048Special teams too for helping us win the field position battle. Jack Fox pinned them deep a couple times. All those things help. It takes all 3 phases.
@@JK.Palomba, Yes, Fox is a great punter. That game was a very close one and we needed every score. It wasn't Stafford vs Goff, It was Lions vs Rams. I think Stafford is a more talented quarterback, but the Lions are a better team. Football is a team sport.
@@alexanderlapp5048 The media made it a Goff vs Stafford thing. I never really thought of it that way because I didn't think Goff necessarily had to play better than Stafford in order for the Lions to win. To me it was Stafford Vs Our defense because I knew he would torch our secondary but the defense did enough to win. Allowing 23 points against that offense really isn't that bad.
I always forget to thank you for your input, you drove me crazy during the draft. But Derrick brings you up during his podcast. He knows where to go to get a great outlook on the Lions. Thank you very much.
@@Harpazoed I don't, I do know that when the field is shorter, the Lions are % getting better at keeping them to a field goal. And when Mayfield is pressured, he does get rattled. The Lions already did it once, with the coaching staff made up of mostly former players. They will throw out stuff they haven't shown yet, but probably have worked on the whole season.
Didn’t LA win 7 of 8 before facing the Lions ? The Bucs are due for a let down!!!! CJGJ - pick Kirbey Joseph -pick Iffy - pick six to the house !! Lions 38 Bucs 13
Maybe the NFL needs to implement new rules for not allowing interviews during the postseason for teams still in the field. Only after elimination or after winning the Super Bowl should that be allowed.
Obviously any team can beat another on a given day. Certainly no game should be overlooked. However, let's look at facts. We didn't just win a game vs TB...we dismantled them in their own house 20-6. AND that's with plenty of sketchy calls going their way, AND refusal to call any of the 20 holds on Aidan. Lol. Furthermore, we were without (count em) ALL our starting CB/S except one, a DT, #2+#3 EDGE, our O line was a patchwork of sudden call ups from practice squad, our RB were banged up, AND our rookies were just getting their game legs at that point. Anyone who realistically thinks the same Bucs team cancome into Ford Field vs a healthy, finely tuned version of the backups that roasted them and win is either delusional or smokes the best weed in the world. Lol. This won't be close. Campbell will have the team laser focused, there will be no overlooking TB. In the aftermath folks will be split tween talking about 5he bucs being exposed as pretenders and the Lions being the new nfc frontrunner forthe SB.
9 and 8 means nothing. The playoffs are a different season. Say that to the Giants who were what 9 and 7. And won the superbowl. Oh dont forget they beat brady and the pats that were 18 -0 going into the superbowl. LIONS STAY HUMBLE AND DETERMIND AND FOCUSED.
I think the Lions can win against the Buccaneers. That being said, the Buccaneers really turned their season around. Who could have predicted that the Buccaneers would have knocked the Eagles out of the playoffs in the wild card round.
The collapse of the Eagles was so historic it even allowed for a Buccaneers playoff win (and that’s really saying something. All of this to the Lions benefit. If Green Bay somehow gets by SF we may be looking at a 2 for 1 Sunday
Bucs cant run. They were 30th in rushing. The D line doesn't have to worry about the run game. Just concentrate on the passing and maybe blitz alot more.
Lions played a bad rams defense they was able to move the ball up and down the field. They won't do that Sunday against Tampa. Tampa has a better defense than the Rams and Jared Goff will fold under pressure just like he always do.
Puka lost... it's a team game... meanwhile St. Brown closed the game out with a first down and will play next week... Puka was their only offense... Goff spread the ball to multiple receivers and St. Brown still got 110 yards
Spielman deserves much credit for helping the owner.
75% of Tampa’s team today IS the super-bowl roster. ALL of the pressure will be on the Lions. All of it. Tampa is playing 100% with the houses money.
I am a lions fan.
But the lions still have to stay humble. And not take the bucs lightly at all.
This is the Playoffs if you take anyone lightly you'll get blown out, see Dallas.
Having said that I live in Tampa and they seem to think we are very, very, beatable.
People just can't get out of their heads how historically bad we've been.
Detroit won't get any legit respect until the super bowl up 7 at halftime...and even then maybe not.
The Lions are humble they know what to prepare for. The Bucs knocked off Philly, they will be fully prepared but will not take them lightly.

Well Matt. I don’t want to get cocky but I have us with a double digit win. As long as we don’t turn the ball over we will be fine.
We will still give up 300 yards passing but we should win it. Also wasn’t Gibbs out
Matt the diesel dery !! Detroit legend!!

We had jamo he scored.
Jamo had a 50 yard td to seal the win.

So what do you think little sister? I just hope we don’t get to confident in this game. I believe we will win it by double digits. What do you think?
