I'm sorry. I really didn't know it was that bad this season. I went on record saying that Stafford is not that good and Goff not that bad for their trade to make a noticeable difference. I might yet be right. The Lions might just be that bad top to bottom where no particular QB, no matter how great, would matter.
I'm starting to see your point. Take the NFC pro bowl team, make them wear Lions uniforms and helmets, and they probably do not play .500 ball. I take no glee in that, as I cheer for the NFC North teams when they aren't playing my beloved (and cursed) Vikings. I also still believe the Lions have one of the 2-3 coolest uniforms, maybe best. Still, something seems to happen to guys when they put on that uniform and take the field. The Thanksgiving coaching buffoonery and lack of discipline (two third and 32s in one game) was really embarrassing. I truly believe those guys want to win and are trying--they just do not know how and there is no leadership. Also, whether you believe in such things or not, there is bad karma surrounding that team. I hope you turn it around--I've pulled for the Lions since back when the first Sanders HOFer (a Golden Gopher) was playing there, and even remember the Alex Karras, Roger Brown and Milt Plum years. Seems like a long time ago. Oh wait.. it was.

There's an old joke, "How do you keep Bears off you lawn? Put up a goalpost!" This might apply more to Lions than Bears. Sorry Detroit.

" . . . There is a new Ford this year - Sheila. She played college tennis, so she understands what it takes to run a pro football team." I believe that is called damning with faint praise. LOL! You must envy San Diego FB fans. Yes, we lost the Dolts to LA but, thank God, we are rid of the dreaded, incompetent Spani ownership. Sort of like watching your mother-in-law drive over a cliff in your new Lexus.

Ouch. The Vikings lose to the kitty cats.
Just out of curiosity, when there are 4 seconds left and the Lions are at about the 15 yard line needing a TD to win, wouldn't you think the defensive backs would be playing on or in front of the goal line instead of 10 feet behind it? Congrats Lions and Lion fans. Not only did you get a win, you probably knocked your rival out of the playoff picture.

I don't know what to say. There's been about 4 games this year that have been like today - so sloppy it seems like both teams are trying to lose. This was NOT a well-played football game.
Lions led 23-21 with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter and WENT FOR IT ON 4TH DOWN FROM THEIR OWN 28 YARD LINE!! Of course they didn't make it. But the Vikings just seemed destined to give this one away. It was strange. I wonder how many F-150 commercials Ford family had to buy to convince the NFL to let us win a game? I heard the call of the winning touchdown of the game in the car. The Lions' announcer screamed like the team had won the damn Super Bowl®. It was embarrassing.
