How The Detroit Lions Ended 32 Years of Misery 

Tbh, the Stafford trade for Goff and picks is what saved the franchise. We had to start fresh from Patricia mess we got into in the first place. 😢

MCDC's culture and having the balls to fire an underperforming OC (a lesson he learned from watching Sean Payton refuse to move on from staffers who clearly weren't working out).

Jameson Williams was suspended for betting on college games. The problem was he was on an nfl premises. Go lions!

As a lifelong Detroit Lions fan, I am super happy that Matthew Stafford got his ring. He proved that he is the elite QB the Lions knew he would become when they drafted him. Now, we can move forward with Goff and look forward to a promising future with him as our QB and Campbell as our HeadCoach. It's the beginning of what is going to be very successful on the field every Sunday for the near future.

BRAD HOLMES. This video kind of touched on his drafts but non-Lions fans most likely don’t understand the unbelievable amount of value the Lions have gotten out of the later rounds of all of his drafts

Bring a tear to my eyes. I love Goff, that why I left the Rams to follow him. Never felt this way about any other QB.

Who’s here after the lions just lost:(

Hope they become a force for MANY years to come!!!

What is totally overlooked in this video is what Lions fans always called for: change in ownership. During the MP era, Martha Firestone Ford ceded ownership to Sheila Ford Hamp. She put MP on a short leash, and fired the Boston Boys after the 2020 Thanksgiving game embarrassment. The 1st person Sheila brought in to interview for the open GM position was all-time Lion, all-90s LB, analyst, and brother of a GM, Chris Spielman. He declined the GM role, but she still brought Chris in as a freelance executive. Those 2 moves of ownership change to Sheila and hiring of Chris Spielman set the Lions on their current path. And you totally skipped over it.🤦🤷

I love the Lions, colors, uniforms and stadium. Go Rams!

Look at the lions man so inspirational!

Thank you so much for making this video, the turnaround this past year and a half has been amazing. No matter what happens, I’m super proud of them. Great video on their story and great job collecting all this info (Also just a heads up to y’all, Jamo’s betting was on a non-nfl sport, but that’s such a minor detail lol this video is still flawless)

Make that 33 But as a Lions fan they had a really good year.

The lions have over 40 years of not making the playoffs if any fanbase deserves this its them 😢

I still remember being in BWW when we drafted St-Brown, 60 minutes from the Superbowl

Dan Campbell has also had a chance to learn from one of the greatest coaches to ever do it Sean Payton and that has also payed off big time

Love the lions love 💙💙

Good video it’s more painful to live it but how sweet it is to be a fan today ✊🦁One Pride Baby!!!!

Thanks bro.. this was awesome.. we here... let's fuckin go..

There will never be a fairer trade

That Stafford trade turned into Jared Goff, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, and Kerby Joseph which is a win I’d say

Damn these guys were doing like daily uploads now it’s 1 every two weeks

So enjoyed hearing about our LIONS

Maybe one day the jets will end this drought for me. I’m so happy for lions fans tho and hope this team continues to ball out.

Always been a fan of Stafford and the Lions when Goff and Stafford switched teams it was the best trade for both teams. My Rams got their Super Bowl and Lions got their potential next franchise QB which has proven to be true. Was always a fan of Goff but McVay lost his faith which then caused Goff to lose his confidence but Campbell was able to bring that confidence back to him. The entire organization really finally build a great culture and roster. Hoping the Lions and Goff finally get their ring this season

Jameson Williams did not bet on football games, he bet on college basketball games and was in a hotel, which is considered a "Facility" for the team.

And started another 32 years of misery

As a Washington the lions give me hope that we can not suck

Lions fans gotta love Stafford and Goff

I don’t know man, what just happened I’m speechless how bad they beat themselves.

The Lions will win a Super Bowl.

That 5-0 Score vs dallas in 1970💀💀

Normally, I am not fond of coaches who wear emotions on their sleeves (mainly cause sports media LOVES drama, and emotions are a big source of that), but Campbell is absolutely the right person to help turn this Lions team around. While future success is yet to be determined, the Lions do have a strong core to build around, mainly Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St Brown, and Aidan Hutchinson. Hitting on your draft picks is one thing, but the right coaching is also needed to maximize the team's potential, and the Lions did exactly what with the guys Campbell brought with him. Myself, I think the real challenge for the Lions is whether they can still function as a unit without some of the current pieces. OC Ben Johnson is a name floated around for HC material. Jared Goff is a UFA next season, so the Lions definitely have to think about their next guy under center. Plus, with the core guys I mentioned due for a big payday soon, the Lions have to manage their salary cap properly, lest they let the wrong people walk, which in turn, affects team cohesion. Regardless, I am impressed with how the Lions have turned things around. All I can wish for is this Lions team to continue building momentum for the future.

Regardless of the Finalized Outcome, the Lions can win a Super Bowl before the Cowboys win one again.

As a long time Chiefs fan…. I’m rooting for the Lions…….unless of course we meet in the SB. 😏 That would be an awesome matchup especially since you got us in the first game of the year. There a nice script, the first game of the season, the last game of the season.

A story worth telling... I hope the Lions bink a SB in the next few seasons. The city has been cursed for 40 years+. Give the people something!

I just want one more winning season. I'm 95% confident in the team. One more winning season will prove they are consistent, which would get rid of qlany doubt in them.

I just noticed that the Lions beat the SB champs from 54-58 in this very season.

It's Shelia Ford-Hamp. Not to speak ill of the dead but her father bought the team in 1963 and the team had been mediocre in the best of times until his widow turned over the team to their daughter in 2020. Sheila did in 3 years what her father couldn't do in nearly 40. Just saying the man was lead designer at the Ford motor company for 50 years and designed 1 car, the same number of playoff wins the lions had when he was owner.

Jamo didn’t bet on NFL games. He bet on college games while on an NFL facility.

Gotta give credit to Brad Holmes and the scouts, their draft successes have been insane recently: (2021) Penei Sewell Amon-Ra St. Brown Derrick Barnes Alim McNeill Ifeatu Melifonwu Jerry Jacobs ~~~ (2022) Aidan Hutchinson Jameson Williams Josh Paschal Kerby Joseph ~~~ (2023) Jahmyr Gibbs Sam LaPorta Brian Branch Jack Campbell

Go lions. Sincerely, a Buffalo fan.

..........and then misery is back

As a Bears fan, I would like for the lions to win the Super Bowl.

And the first year we Matt to the Rams. We also got a 3 round pick and it was Iffy

5:01 if I'm not mistaken, he called and pursued the lions job. Not the other way around. Also, thank you for mentioning that botched call in Dallas. lol 👍🏻

That black lions jersey though 😅

This is the same guy that said the Lions are frauds a couple weeks ago lmao

This got me fired up for Sunday fuck

I remember saying fire Campbell in 2021, I'm so glad I was wrong

Yeah!

Dan Campbell was given the rarest resources in the NFL: time. For most other teams he would've been fired in his first season, or for sure mid way through the next when he started off 0-6 or whatever is (real bad though).

As a Lions fan I was routing for the Bengals to beat the Rams in the Superbowl. A couple reasons behind it but the main reason is that if we had to play Stafford in the future, he could come back and be the Lions' worst enemy which he almost did when the Lions played the Rams in the Wildcard round.

Players should learn from Campbell you may not be that guy physically but you can always be that guy with mentality and heart💪 And the brain will always be your most valuable muscle

In a sense the Matt and Jared trade still made Matt the reason why we are successful. So stafford did help us win a playoff game. 😂

Boy lions bout to drop more wins Welcome to the super bowl boys 😅😅😅

The Goff trade was great but make no mistake. This is a result of GM/HC/executive making good solid personnel decisions and drafting great. In the NFL you can turn your team around in 1 year with a 7 round draft

Good video Ty. Williams didn’t bet on nfl games

11:17 Jamo was NOT suspended for betting on NFL games. He specifically bet on NON-NFL games, which is why he wasn't suspended the full season. The reason he got suspended was that he placed his bet at the Lions' facility, but it was on a non-NFL game.

Brad Holmes is 100% the Executive of the year and has majorly hit on franchise changing players in each of his first 3 drafts. Not only in the first round but every round he has found key contributors/franchise cornerstones. I don't wanna hear one single analyst's take on next years draft about the lions, well unless they take ANOTHER RB

Can I point out So... That trade , Ifeatu Melifonwu, Jameson Williams, Josh Paschal, Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta all were a DIRECT part of the trade. ALL playing a massive part. Its got to be one of the best trades in history - where both sides came out okay.

the thing is Detroit went back to NFC Championship game before Dallas😅 my gosh.

If the Lions win the Super Bowl, a movie will be made: “Biting Goff Kneecaps: an Underdog Story”. It will be a great movie.

41-10 That's the score we'll beat 49ers with! 💪

They didn’t end it - they added to it!

It’s funny that it was 32 years!

Detroit out here drafting GROWN ASS MEN!!🔥😮‍💨💯 Starting to stack All-Pros on that roster…. WHO BITE KNEECAPS💀💀💯

4:19 this isn’t true, Dan Campbell does have a ring from the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl win

Spoke to soon 😂

they brought it back😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 (jk they had an amazing season this year, NEXT YEAR IS OUR YEAR)

I was at the steelers game when he missed the field goal and extra point. We shouldn't have traded prater

LETS GO LIONS

I’m sorry I can’t help but think Dan Campbell sounds like *The Dude* from The Big Lebowski 😭😭😭

That's a third with Stafford at the helm and he gets upset about them booing him at playoff game vs Goff😂😂😂

No single player wins a playoff game - to say "Stafford couldn't win in the playoffs" - c'mon. I'm a lifelong Lions fan and the Lions TEAM couldn't win in the playoffs. Barry Sanders, one of the greatest running backs in history, "couldn't win in the playoffs" either - because it isn't Greco-Roman wrestling, it's a team sport.

Stafford was the savior of Detroit Lions football, just not how you think he is. He went to the same high school as Bobby Layne, who cursed us for trading him because he didn't want to be traded. Stafford requested a trade specifically to LA, and previous Lions regimes would have sent him somewhere else, but this one said "We'll get you to LA." We did Layne wrong, but we did Stafford right. That's what broke the Curse.

Well we saw this one before

Jamo didnt gamble on nfl games. Thats a whole season suspension. It was betting on college football in a team facility.

Detroit can save the NFL rn

12:28 why not say all purpose yards & total touchdowns?

Same old Lions.

IF JOFF WIN STAFFORD FOR JOFF WILL BE ONE OF THE GREATEST TRADES IN NFL HISTORY…2 QBS traded to both go on to win the superbowl

And they will start on the next 32 years today.

Jameson Williams didn’t bet on nfl games he bet on other sports at the lions facility

Its not ended until they finish. Win the damn Super Bowl!!!

Jamo didn’t bet on NFL games. He bet on college games at a team facility.

Jamison Williams never bet on NFL games

Ben Johnson

They won a couple of playoff games this year and choked in the NFC championship game with a 17 point lead at the half. I would not consider that ending 32 years of misery.

jameson williams wasnt betting on NFL games, if he was he wouldnt be in the NFL anymore.

Correction, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were technically never in the NFC North, so they've never won it.

Yea, they didn't end it😂😂😂😂

Y’all think Matt slightly threw the game away in love of the lions?

Kinda wild that if the lions take this all the way, Staffords legacy in Detroit will vanish.

Sam LaGoata!!

6:32 Maybe the worst call ever...not involving the Lions!

33 years of misery. The Niners will put them out.

32 years more like 65 years of misery

Three words: Sheila Ford Hamp

Bro how did the lions go to the NFC championship and the Patriots getting six super bowls. But the Cowboys can’t pass the divisional round. I BLAME YOU JERRY JONES
