2011 LOLions predictions

I'm not. I'm saying there are people that claim Stafford is shit. As of today, he joins Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Dan Marino as the only other people in NFL history to throw for over 5,000 in a season. That shit doesn't happen by accident.

Also, if the NFL wasn't ridiculous, and they had actually ruled the touchdown that Titus Young caught that was clearly and indisputably a touchdown a touchdown, we'd be talking about 6 Stafford touchdowns and a victory at Lambeau for the first time in 20 years for the Lions. And they'd be playing a poor division champ next week instead of playing against the hottest team in the league.

Refs were really bad today....

Agreed. They've come a long way, today showed that. It was a very exciting game, sadly one team had to lose........but, the truth is, having been a Packer fan since the 60's.....well.....you understand....;) Honestly, I'd much rather see Detroit do well, than the hated Bears or Vikings. With GB's defense playing poorly of late, I doubt they'll go very far anyway....
 
you can be happy , this performance was just ridiculous, gunther needs to be fired , i dont want playoffs as a token victory, i want fucking superbowls .They will get crushed next week ,this defense is pathetic, superbowls or the season is a failure, period

Remember Motown... This is the same dumbass who quit on the Tigers after opening day.
 
Well at least the NFL fucked the Lions out of a TD, a victory, and a 5 seed all in one day!

Quit bitching you chumps. Be happy the team is in the playoffs. Sometimes I think people in Detroit just like being losers and don't know how to handle being good at anything without complaining.

Exactly.
 
From 0-16, I look at progress. And they have made progress every year. NOW it will be harder. No one will take them for granted (though I doubt anyone has since the first 5 games). The Lions still have areas to improve (OL & DB kind of stand out).

The Detroit area at this time has two teams that can compete for a championship. The Red Wings and Tigers. The Lions are at least being talked about for the first time since 1991.
 
I'm just saying, it's pretty stupid to get all "GARREAHRGA THE FUCKEING SAESON IS OVER THE WILL GET SHREDDED FUCKING FAILURE" before the games have happened.

How is it a token playoff? The franchise is loaded with young players and the team is getting better year after year. How would 10 wins again next year impress you? I thought "superbowls or the season is a failure, period." Can failure be impressive?
anyone can do it once , look at tampa how they doing this year? think how ever you want i dont care to just make the playoffs , i want all the detroit teams to win every year , i dont do almost made it or well we at least made the play offs ,
 
so will all you be happy when they get blown out next week ? just cause they made the playoff? not me ill be pissed
 
Why would anyone be happy if they got blown out? People should be happy to have a good team. The Lions were the worst franchise of all time for whole last decade. Now they are back, in the playoffs and have a roster full of up and coming players.

If you're only happy when the team wins a title, that's pretty close to the definition of a fairweather fan. I've had Pistons season tickets since 2000. We sucked that year. The ride up from the bottom to the title is the best thing in all of sports, and there are tons of cities that never get to experience it period. The Lions have been awful for years. I'm glad they are in the playoffs no matter what happens. If you don't do almost made it, you've been pissed your whole life at the Lions? Why watch then? I didn't sit through dozens of sunday ass beatings just so I could complain the year they made the playoffs before they even start. Every step close to the top is a positive one.
 
but i will say the offense was amazing , to do what they did with no run game , is impressive

Don't forget for as good as Green Bay is, they have the second worst pass defense in the league! Their run defense isn't anything special either.
 
The NFL and it's refs have it out for the Lions. They got fucked out of some points today but the Packers ran all over their defense so it didn't matter. What do you expect against one of the best passing teams in the league (even if they don't have their starting QB...).

They also kept fucking themselves with stupid, stupid penalties again and again. They should fire their special teams coach. They give up too much yardage on punts and almost always get penalties both receiving and kicking.

Anyway, 10-6 is better than what a lot of people thought they would do (pretty sure I put them at 11-5?), most importantly they really only lost to the 'good' teams, except for the weak showing against the Bears.

Contrary to what some crazy people think, Matt Stafford proved he is no Joe Montana, but he did make it through the year without missing any games due to injury and managed to start a fight with Chicago which was pretty cool.
 
Definitely got scrwed today, but even if they didn't get screwed, the other team's back up QB still set franchise single game records against the Lions starting D.
 
I don't suppose you'd be willing to wager a steak dinner on them making the playoffs?

So Dan, are we going to make our steak bet? Lions vs Pats record? Lions vs the Playoffs...? STEAK!!!

Dan? Steakl bet???

Dan, is the bet on? And yes, the Lions looked good. The only real mistake was Stafford's INT-TD. The defense played well.

I think the Chiefs are in Detroit next week. Dan, quit dodging the question. Are you on for our bet?

Crash would of had a nice Porterhouse Steak dinner !
 
Well at least the NFL fucked the Lions out of a TD, a victory, and a 5 seed all in one day!

Quit bitching you chumps. Be happy the team is in the playoffs. Sometimes I think people in Detroit just like being losers and don't know how to handle being good at anything without complaining.
