What Detroit Lions fans are saying

This week I visited the Detroit Lions forum and for fug sake I needed to take a shower immediately after. That place is more down on their team than anything I have ever seen including this joint in 2010. 

 

Here are a few poo nuggets that sum up the entire Lions fan base and what they are feeling at the moment. 

About the upcoming game

Quote

Did you forget a zero in that spread?? It should be Carolina -30. This lions team has completely given up on Patricia and Quin and I'm not sure I really blame them. I would be shocked if Carolina scores less than 50.

I mean, I am optimistic about this game but no where near this confident. Are the Lions this bad? 

 

Some fans blame the players... 

Quote

Lol, the Lions players who have accomplished jack shit have given up on their HC. Absolutely hilarious and must be the latest in "excuses" for why they are losing. 
Sure, go ahead Mack run me the fuck over and take Stafford's head off - we'll just blame it on the HC and GM. Signed, Stafford's blind side protector.......

Reminds me of when Shula was OC here and people kept blaming the players for the awful offense. 

 

Some are wanting it just to be done with...

Quote

Is the NE in Detroit experiment officially dead?

Reminds me a bit of what Buffalo is trying to do with a Carolina experiment. 
 

But most of all Lions fans have just checked out... 

Quote

 

The lions are going to kill it this week. Mostly kill an afternoon of my time. 

At least we can watch a players play for their contract incentives

The lions are really more like the keystone cops.

 

 

Face it, if you have been a long time Carolina Panthers fan you have felt this way a time or two. Detroit is just not in a good way right now.

Panthers fans have been in their shoes many a time. Like every other Panthers game, it’s a 50/50 tossup which Panthers team decides to show up. The one that comes out the gate firing on all cylinders, or the one pooping all over the field while Ron emotionlessly stares off into the abyss

True that we don't know for sure which team will show up but it's definitely not 50/50. Maybe 2-3 times a year in recent years we've completely poo the bed. That's like 15% if that, not 50%.

If you break it down quarter by quarter, it's definitely 50/50.

Did anyone see how their coach Patricia went off on a reporter a few weeks ago for “poor posture” and not “respecting the process” ????

patricia is pushing 400 pounds and dresses like I would imagine a senior offensive line man in high school dresses. A backwards hat and a pencil behind his ear. Not to mention the kibble in his gross beard. He should not be advising anyone on how to carry themselves.

eSpn already has him on the hot seat. I’m sure he will he back in NE fetching Belicheat his coffee in a year or two.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
