But they still suck! I swear they are cursed and Matt Millen should get the death penalty for what he has done.

As you may be able to tell I am one of the last pathetic Lion fans left. Watching my team go from okay to mediocre to horrible and sticking with them. No my friends, I am no fair weather fan. I am the real deal .Through thick and thin.

The first game at Chicago was like getting pocket aces, other guy hitting his set on the flop, me hitting my set on the turn, only to be taken away by his quads on the river. And by "his quads" I am speaking of the refs ruling Calvin Johnson's game winning TD stolen from him. Rollercoaster of emotions. Not only that but having our franchise QB taken out in the same game(although I have to say Shawn Hill hasn't been doing too bad himself).

They have come so close in many games but keep beating themselves. I don't know why I keep watching them. Think it may be the "trainwreck" effect. Same reason I kept reading that long ass "fish evolving into shark" thread. Just can't take my eyes off it no matter how bad it is.

This Sunday Detroit's actually favored over Washington. I'll be rooting for my team but am not expecting much. Not getting my hopes up again just to watch them shoot themselves in the foot again and again. Can't even watch it on TV because 10,000 of the other fans have finally got sick of it and not bought tickets.

Anyway I would like an outsiders POV on whether or not you think they may actually be turning the corner. It would help if you actually seen them play.I don't believe in curses but damn. If any team is cursed it would have to be them, right?

Feels good not to be the only one that likes them at least a little:). I really think after one more draft we will be contenders next year. It's gonna take a while to undo the works of the Millen administration.

They suffer from bad ownership... When thats fixed, I expect them to a good team again although they did enough today to win. When you been as bad foir as long as the Lions have, the only thing thats gonna work is to clean house from the top and get rid of the maroons who are running the show.... Im a Bengals fan, trust me.. I know of what I speak.:D

^^^LOL.


I think Bill Ford always has the best of intentions and is not afraid to spend money. His only problem is he is way to nice of a guy and gives too many chances.

The Lions have been rebuilding since 1957. Millen kept picking WRs every year like they were going to be the next Jerry Rice lol

If they had an o-line, they might be taken seriously. All the high picks they've had and they have never taken an o-lineman high in the draft if I remember right.

Like ythelongface, I too am a Bengals fan. I know what you are going through. I do think your team is improving though. Granted, the bar was was pretty low. Hang in there.

The O-line is doing good and defensive line is too. We are a defensive secondary away from being a playoff team IMO.

Not looking so good with Matt Stafford injured again.

Even if we hang in and win,
it's still sucking

If lions win this it will only be because the jets sucked worse.

Coinflip. Jets ball. I don't think Detroit has it in them to overcome, but I have seen stranger things happen

It's over. Another horrible meltdown at the end in a critical game. Another injury to our now well overpaid/fragile QB. Even our star kicker is hurt.

Bad day for Detroit fans.
