All the story lines. The culmination of “The Trade”. Lions vs. Stafford. Goff vs. McVay. All in the first playoff home game in Detroit in ages.
I think it would be the most fitting, dramatic, entertaining, and a bit of that universal poetic beauty that happens in sports from time to time.
And I believe this is a very real possibility with the Vikings seeming to fall off and a favorable Rams schedule. Those last two playoff spots will likely be a battle between Seahawks, Rams, and Vikings.
Poetic? I’d be a wreck.
I don’t want to see that personally
I would love to see it
You don’t want to hope for that.
Something tells me that if this were to happen, the wraps would for sure find some way to screw us over. Please, this cannot happen.
Vikings would be wild as we would play them for the 3rd time in 4 weeks. Seahawks would be wild as we have lost 3 times in a row in high scoring affairs, we get redemption or cement the Seahawks as our nemesis.
Buckle up boys, shit’s gonna get wild
That is a nightmare scenario I want nothing to do with.
You want to tell the tale to your grandkids of the Lions trading away the best QB in their franchise history only for him to come back and knock them out at the first playoff game they host at Ford Field?
Ever play chess? Sometimes in order to win you got to sacrifice the Queen, the most powerful piece on the board.
Lions trading Stafford allowing them to transcend to that next level and become a winning franchise is also a great tale.
My heart would shatter in a million pieces if Staffords return to Detroit/FF was the first home playoff game since 93 and he beat us. Some kind of twisted poetic justice but it isn’t. I bet Stafford would even feel kind of bad.
He won a superbowl, not much left to accomplish.
That makes me sick just thinking about it
