As I sit here trying to watch this morning’s game I can’t help but think about Layne who was the last Lions Qb to win a championship! That was in 1957! He was traded the following year to the Steelers & on his way out stated that the Lions won’t win again for another 50 years.. Well it’s now going to b 63 years & counting thus giving some credibility to the curse! While we have gone thru some tough years with the Giants it seems minuscule to what Lions fans have endured!

How is that even possible? It's insane. Worst organization in sports. Hell, even the Cards have made the Super Bowl. The Browns had some deep runs, the Jets got a title...
Patricia will be latest coach to go. Lions need a fresh start (new QB/Coach combo) and soon.
Lions have one playoff win since 1958. How do you even continue to be a fan?
Cleveland started to show improvement in the 90s, moved to Baltimore, won 2 Superbowls as the Ravens.
Can you imagine being a fan of either of those teams?
This century alone, we've been to 3 Super Bowls & won 2 Lombardis. We should feel blessed.
[quote] A few years ago Stafford & the Lions were ahead of Dallas & driving when a flag was thrown for obvious Pass interference on the Cows which led to that idiot Dez Bryant charging onto the field helmetless to yell at the ref which was another penalty! After a slight delay the flag was amazingly picked up & what should have been 2 blatant penalties was negated! I’ve seen plenty of bad calls go against the Giants but that sequence might have been the worst officiating I had ever seen! & that was it for Detroit! [/quote
I remember that game. Detroit did get screwed.
