Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted September 29, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 29, 2023 It’s still tough for me to get really optimistic. They have been playing really well, even the rookies, but still……it’s the Lions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably a Milwaukee season ticket holder. otb, ain't that the truth! they suck, there were more Lions fans in the stands than Packers fans in the 4th qtr. thank goodness those County Stadium days are past us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdsky Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Lions looked good in the first half. The defense was either gassed at the end of the first half or just decided to take the second half off. Stay healthy and the team should have a good run this season. There were some highlights for Packer fans that want to see the rookies continue to improve. The bitch Packer fans in the stands that want to boo just because they don't have a HOF QB and a veteran roster to back him up after all these decades of having one should just stay home..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno.... that first GB touchdown drive occurred after the clock had hit zero on a huge throw by Love. Considering that, the Lions defense basically held them to one touchdown, denied a 2 pt conversion, got a sack, and an interception in the second half. I'd credit GB for finding ways to get some points on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted November 29, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 29, 2023 The Detroit Lions, formerly the Portsmouth Spartans, started in Portsmouth, Ohio, in 1928. After joining the NFL in 1930, they relocated to Detroit in 1934. Their home ground was Universal Stadium during their Ohio years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoughnut Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I watched the Bye Bye Barry documentary last night, it was very good. What an incredible running back he was and a kind, humble soul. Being a Packer fan, I cringed when in the 1st round of the 1989 NFL Draft and the Packers with the 2nd pick choose Tony Mandarich and right after that the Lions pick Sanders. I can only dream what it would have been like if the Packers chose Sanders instead of Mandarich (massive flop) and for him to play in the same backfield as Brett Favre. This is me every time I think about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a really good documentary…Scott Mitchell has been crying like a bitch because for some reason he feels he was blamed for their struggles even though he wasn’t mentioned by name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t watch it, but I don’t feel like anything was revealed that everyone didn’t already know. The scott Mitchell telling everyone to fuck off overshadowed the whole Barry controversy. I never liked Mitchell ….and Wayne can fuck off too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted December 4, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 4, 2023 Still hard to believe the Lions are even in the picture.

They had The Saints down 21-0 early and let them back into it. As for The Chiefs being at 18.9 I’m not buying it…they don’t scare anybody anymore. The Lions will show us who they really are when they play Dallas.👊🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then we all remembered we were watching the Lions play And the 49ers beating the Eagles didn't hep our cause either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkisNH Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I know you can only play the teams that are on your schedule, but the only win against a good team was the chiefs....I just don't see them making it past the first playoff game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 Whatever happens playoff wise, still a great season. If you’re not a Lions fan you can’t appreciate it. This was the season my father’s, father, was waiting for. I have friends and relatives that moved away 20 years ago that are so exciting over this season, freaking out. I wish my neighbors were alive to see it. They were die hard fans every year. Celebrating whatever crumbs they could. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had success in my formidable fan years....then a Long drought until well into adulthood. I was just stating a fact regarding the schedule. Partially just licking wounds after the 49s game. But our run of Dallas, Bills, Chiefs, 49's and back with Dallas. I would gladly trade schedules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
