I remember pulling guard duty in the Army during that series ..had an outlet in the guard shack..bought a portable TV and watched game 3 and 4..it was so good.
I was at this game and the playoff game. Two brutal losses especially the playoff game and for a while there I thought I don’t know if I should be going to games in person because they’re getting their asses kicked in and this is a pretty good football team.
Some day, maybe us Lions fans won't need to go to RU-vid to watch 30+ year old games... so that we can see our team with a meaningful game at home. Some day...
Yes that day is now and hopefully for years to come. They have very young team and finally a great head coach and a GM that actually has a plan and knows who to draft.
hope the lions and lions fans enjoyed their 10 mins of fame by beating us this game and 38-6 in the playoffs weeks later. Y'all can have those 2 wins and we will forever take our 3 Super Bowl Wins in 1992, 1993, and 1995.
The Lions just had things put together in that 91 season. They were unstoppable at home and it showed. The bad thing is they could NEVER EVER get past the Redskins especially at RFK. They got their ass beat 45-0 in the first week then when they got to the NFC Championship they got beat 41-10 at RFK again. They gave up 86 points in that time. Then lost at RFK again the next season, but a close loss. The Cowboys just weren't ready for the good teams yet. Getting crushed 34-10 but they overcame a 6-5 start and beat an undefeated Redskins team to win out to 11-5. In the playoffs, the Cowboys just didn't have the the rest of the puzzle pieces to put together yet and got smashed in the divisional round. The Cowboys drafted well and got in free agency Charles Haley as the final puzzle piece and Thomas Everett to play safety and everything was set. The Cowboys destroyed the Lions the next season and showed the NFL they were the team to beat.
To this day I maintain that if it hadn't been for Washington, the Lions would have won the Super Bowl that year. We were the best team in the league that year outside of Washington. We beat Buffalo at Buffalo to close out the season.
@@jasonalun but Buffalo pulled out their starters and already had the division won. The Lions had to do grind it out to win the division that day in Buffalo. You were not beating Washington that year or the next. Even the next year when Washington faltered, they still beat the Lions at RFK. Barely but they did win.
You're as clueless af, pal it's obvious you weren't around to watch these 90s teams that won 2 division titles and the only playoff win and this current administration hasn't accomplished anything yet, you stooge!
This was on CBS cause CBS carried the NFC back then and NBC carried the AFC. Fox has been carrying the NFC since 1994 but the Lions will still be on CBS every now & then when they typically welcome in a AFC opponent at Ford Field but with the current TV deal the Lions can be randomly be on CBS every now & then even with they play a NFC opponent either at home or away from Ford Field.
I know that, I was just saying that NBC had Doubleheader rights this particular Sunday. If CBS had the Doubleheader with both Bears-Saints & Cowboys-Lions it would have been a Blockbuster. Especially with Game 7 of the World Series that night.
