Dare I risk saying this (without jinxing this season)....but is anyone else hesitantly optimistic for the Lion's this year? :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
I've watched every game this pre-season and have been, well, "hopeful" so far.
-
I've been Lions free for years but I watched with one eye open last year and am really drinking the Kool-Aid this year. That defense is down right scary, I really think they are going to take out some QB's this year. If Stafford can stay out of the doctors office, this could be our best year in a long, long time.

You mean the lions might have a chance? I haven't watched any of the preseason, and kind of just watch the lions until hockey season starts. They just give me a reason to kick back and have a few brews on a Sunday.

The adult flavor...made with hops and barley ;)

1-0 :) Crazy final play :o

I have been listening to my dad. Say "this is the year" for over 20 years now. Even he is a bit quiet this year.
-
A lot better, All the way around so far.
-
The better side is they dont even have there number 1 or 2 pick! 1rst and 2nd picks usually have impact.
-
Hey guys we have been down this road. Remember, "Another Bites the Dust" Those guys missed the playoffs. Wake me up in December.

Seriously though, the Lions have looked good in the preseason and they are 2-0 right now.
BUT....the Bucs were a fairly respectable win, the Chiefs, maybe not so much...they were trounced in their opener allowing the opponent to score over 40 points in that game as well. Plus, they lost their best running back early in yesterday's game who could have been a factor if he didn't get hurt. Let's wait and see as the Lions face some better opponents.
The Lions not only looked good (and won) against the Patriots in preseason but our defense seemed to handle the hot offense of Tom Brady (but again, that was preseason).
I also like the fact they seem to be staying realistic and humble in the media...unlike the "Another One Bites The Dust" era that had more hype (they weren't as good as the image they portrayed back then, IMHO).
AND HOW ABOUT OUR TIGERS?!?!?!?!?!?
VERLANDER FOR MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!! (but he won't get it...some Yankee will probably win...again)
-
3-0 Baby!!!!!!!!! WOW, talk about a nail-biter at the end!!
Jason Hanson field goal in OT wins it!!!!!!!
But how about that Matthew Stafford to Calvin Johnson pass to make the FG possible????
First time the Lions have won in Minnesota since the 90's!!!!!!
And now the Vikings are 0-3 to boot!!!
Not to mention our defense held Adrian Peterson, probably the best running back in the NFL right now (definitely the highest paid), to only 78 yards on 17 carries!!!!
That is
HUGE!!!
-
It figures. I was in the garage most of the day building two new snake racks and of course forgot to set the DVR!!!
Oh well glad to hear they won again.

I must confess, I missed a lot of the game because I was watching the NASCAR race...but I did stay tuned in during the last 10mins of the Lions game and it was
SWEET!!!
And p.s. My boy Tony Stewart won for a second week in a row...just when it counts the most!!!

Well as dissapointing as it is that there winning, and i might lose money, it is a good thing that there maybe finally gonna hold there own, and hopefully have a winning season... :( :(
-
I'm glad I don't have a heart condition, because that was another nail biter. I started watching sporadically near the end of the first half and thought they weren't going to have too much of a chance, but I was pleasantly surprised when I turned the game on after my son's soccer pictures and heard the Lions were only down by six. Moved back into the house and watched them pull off another last minute victory. At the rate they're going, they're going to the playoffs if they don't end up with a lot of injuries.
-
Go Lions !!!!!!!! Myself i can't watch.
Just seen the hilights Good game !!!
-
I'm not sure how much more I can take of the Lions doing well! ??? Now all the time at work I keep getting people coming up to me to talk about the wins ... this didn't happen when we would always lose! ;D
I've tried watching a few games and can't seem to get into NFL football as much as I enjoy college football and hockey.
-
I'm all in---I've sipped the Kool-Aid and now I'm just shot-gunning and guzzling it with a beer-bong. I can't wait for Monday night football!!!!!!!!!!! Against the frickin' Bears no less!!!
-
So we won !!! Who's next ?
-
Another last minute win! Literally!
-
First winning season in 12 years!
-
Just another day, For the boys In Blue !!! Great come from behind game.
-
Okay... I'll get on the bandwagon now. Nice to be playoff bound.
-
Great game !!!!!
-
10-6 with a playoff game. Given our history I would say this was a good season. Nice thing is Stafford is the real deal. Lets just hope he stays up right for the next 12 years.

x2.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a run game as well? From the few games I watched, it's throw, throw, throw ... because the few run attempts don't really get much done. (Disclaimer - I don't watch NFL football much, so perhaps it just the way things are now?)
