If there was ever a game that was 98 ATL/MN redux?

This was the one...Even if one was division rd and the other CG.

All of us old enough to remember, had to have thought about that.

Lion Nation couldn't have been more shocked by losing to the Commanders. I mean, almost surreal disbelief they had. In their arrogance, they forgot that you still have to play the games. Love it. #1 seed with home field advantage playing the #6 seed. Choke job, period.

I thought of it when I saw the faces of the fans. After the 98 NFCC, I went back to my hotel room and stared at the ceiling for about 6 hours. I still haven't re-watched that game. 

So welcome to relevance, Lions fans, and the disappointment that goes with it. But you'll need a couple decades of this to get to where we are. 75, 87, 98, 00, 09, 17. Until you get to the point where you can list your crushing defeats like Powerball numbers, STFU.

Me neither, not one play...Was there in person, that was enough.

You gotta add 77 to that list too.

Refuse to watch anything from 98. I’m still traumatized.

Same here. Can't watch any part of it.

I think there are still Lion's fans staring blankly at a TV screen now for days that just can't accept the loss. That's how far down the road they had gone with being in the Superbowl.
