The Lions open the season on Monday Night Football. We need to thank the schedule makers for this honor. This way we can get the embarrassment over with.

At least the Dead Things have won a few championships in the recent past.
"Dead Things"?
You mean the "Wiffins"? What other minor league team could make the Stanley Cup playoffs?
AND
They are NOT a "thug" team, like the "Blackhawks" are. (this is fun!)

After watching the Lions beat up on a New York Giants team that looked more like a high school team, I wasn't getting my hopes up yet. I wanted to see how they would hold up to an actual NFL team (sorry Giants fans for being so hard on them, I actually like them but man they are a mess).
Today's 24-7 loss against the Panthers, was oh so reminiscent of the past Lions: fumbles, turn overs, missed field goals, forcing passes... It's going to be a long season if this keeps up. Can we play the Giants again, Please!

Not really . . . Remember ... Same Ol Lions . . .
I actually have adopted the Bills this year as my 2nd favorite back-up team, right behind Denver
Go Royals!
Says the man from Twins country!
They sure have made it interesting the last few games haven't they?
The Detroit Lions at 7-2. Who wudda thunk? Definitely not the same ol Lions. These guys find a way to win. SOL would have found a way to lose.
The next two games will tell a lot. Without our #1 defense the conversation would not be as pleasant. The offense continues to struggle to put up points with the 24th ranked passing offense, and a dead last run game. A kicking game that has been head shaking and nerve racking at best. "Please don't let the game come down to a field goal!" should not be going through ones head.
On the bright side, it has made for an interesting season. With a favorable schedule going down the stretch a playoff run can not be discarded (although sounds too familiar). Until proven otherwise, I will keep the SOL motto very close.
Party pooper!
Yeah, but reality is what it is. It's been 20 years since they had a record this good this far into the season. When you look back on those 20 years and think about the times they were good early in the season then just took a major dump...
I guess they just are not ready to play with the big boys just yet.
Pretty sure Lions were out of time outs at that point. A coach can't challenge any ruling if he doesn't have at least one timeout remaining
