I don't begrudge anyone disenchanted with the current state of the Lions. One playoff appearance in forever and an 0-16 season tends to get fans jaded. The lack of success IMO is the reason so many fans yo-yo on their following of the Lions and to me thats ok. It's when Detroit is regularly over .500 and had some more playoff appearances that bothered me.

Plus it's the fans that are a barometer for the management. The Millen man march, the fire Millen chants, website, ect not to mention all the head coaches that began with the letter M....minus Dick Juron.

We are not the Patriots we are not the Steelers, we are not even the Bears so I can get the guys that blister the moves Detroit makes, I even agree with some of them and it makes the arguements and opinions better but thats just my take.

Well once upon a time the Patriots were pretty much the Lions. I remember always having hopes of maybe making the playoffs and they'd go out and win 3,4, 5 games. Those were the good years lol. Similiar to the Lions lately...have a good year, expect to improve the next year but noooooo....I never gave up on them(life long mass w hole, they're 'my' team!) but I did become more of a fan of the game. This was the 80's so I liked watching the 9ers and Giants, or great players like Elway and Marino...I appreciated excellence/dominance which doesn't seem to be very popular these days. Everyone hates lol. But it did get to the point I figured I'd never see them (Pats) win a SB. Same with the Sox....So if teams like the Pats and Saints can win SBs, anything is possible. Sticking by them just makes finally winning that much sweeter. I'm not a very emotional guy but the first SB win and the Sawx breaking 'the curse' both brought a tear to my eye lol. 30 years of heartbreaks before that. 


1 thing you'll never see me do is rip on a fan for rooting for a 'crap' team.(well maybe the Jets, I'm only human) If anything I have total respect for those fans.(again, cept for the Jets!)  I used to be one and I'm sure at some point, eventually, waaaay down the roadTongue out I will be again



Good luck next season.
