The wild ride

Smooth rides are rarely interesting ones, you just end up with the destination to talk about when it is all said and done.

Crazy, bumpy, getting lost and found along the way rides are the ones you talk about decades later. Heroes aren't made by glory being handed to them, they're created in skin-of-the-teeth escapes and overcoming impossible odds.

Wouldn't it be grand to get one of those seasons out of this?

This goes back to the end of 2021.  The frustration of the decision to allow the Rhule fiasco to continue another year, watching the poor treatment of Corral and the fake competition between Mayfield and Darnold.   Watching the season start and we looked so inept.  It was so hard to watch.

We finally go from frustration to relief that at least we got rid of Rhule and hopefully play well enough to show some life.

Wilks gets this team believing that we have what it takes to win.

Now I can't wait for Sunday to come.  I am excited to see how we play and push for the playoffs. While the chance that we end 5-12 we also have the chance to finish 9-8 or 8-9.  It's exciting.

Oh for sure it's been interesting, but I think I could live with a boring season of watching a competent QB just repeatedly throw the ball to receivers for first downs and touchdowns. 

However dull it might be to not watch our passer continuously wear the expression in the pocket of a golden retriever trying to understand organic chemistry, I can live with it.

To see other team's QB's not be able to pull out their phone and listen to all of Hey Jude, then put the phone away and throw a completion if Burns is double teamed and can't get there would also be the sort of sacrifice to tedium I'd be willing to make.

The monotony of win after win and consecutive playoff appearances I am also willing to endure.

I will bear that cross.

I am that martyr.

This could've turned into an unwatchable 2010 type season, but somehow, some way, they've turned this runaway train into a glorious hodgepodge of spectacle.  Reminds me of the end of Bullet Train if anyone has seen that flick.  

Somehow, some way, ditching CMC and barely throwing to DJ is working for us haha.

I literally fell asleep because the last game was so boring. I'm ready for some good, dare I say great football, around here. I'm fine with this season ending and won't miss it when it's gone. This roller-coaster ride is more like the one made for children too little to ride the real ones.

    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
    • My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.
