The Detroit Lions are 6-5 and still very much in the thick of things when it comes to the NFC playoff picture. But, many are not holding out hope of the Lions making it to the postseason, since the playoffs is still new territory for the team.

Despite Matthew Stafford being one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the league, the Lions have failed to win a single postseason game under their franchise signal caller, who drafted first overall in 2009.

In fact, the Lions haven’t won a playoff game since the 1991 season against the Dallas Cowboys, when they still called the their old stadium the Pontiac Silverdome home.

But it looks like the last reminder of a Lions playoff win is on the way out, as the Silverdome was set for implosion today, only for the whole thing to be one big dud.

The failed implosion led to many Lions jokes on Twitter.

Take a look.

Only one failed stadium implosion in team history. Same old Lions. #Silverdome https://t.co/9KhSpIjvTI — HUGE (@Hugeshow) December 3, 2017

The #Silverdome not collapsing when the charges went off might be the most #Lions thing in the history of Lions things. — Aaron Santini (@AaronRadioGuy) December 3, 2017

My god. They tried to implode the Pontiac Silverdome just now. They explosions went off, and the old girl just stood there, smiled, and said, “Really?” #silverdome — Josh Mackey (@JMackey1981) December 3, 2017

Watching the implosion of the #silverdome is like watching every lions game for the last 50 years. Expect excitement, get nothing. — Erica Bergstrom (@theswedepastry) December 3, 2017

We're 10 minutes post-explosion & the #Silverdome is still standing. The place must be waiting until the 4th quarter to actually implode. — Jeremy Klumpp (@Klumpp13) December 3, 2017

We would like to thank the City of Detroit for their participation in attempting to implode the #Silverdome. pic.twitter.com/KneDu1FmWf — McNeil (@Reflog_18) December 3, 2017

Fitting end for the #silverdome. Even the walls are afraid to cross the goal line. — Tom Corey (@TomRCorey) December 3, 2017
