Lions Rediscover Their Comfort Zone in Horrible Road Loss
October 8, 2007 on 6:27 pm | In Uncategorized |(Disclaimer: I have yet to view Sunday’s game, except for the lowlights that were broadcast. I was working.)
I am speechless. How could I be stupid enough to associate the Lions and the “p” word (except for maybe p*ssies). At any rate, the Lions decided that their poor performance in a road loss to Philadelphia wasn’t poor enough in magnitude, so they needed to play even poorer against the Redskins on Sunday.
Only the Lions, by finding their well-established comfort zone, could so quickly and easily erode every single positive sign of organizational progression in one fell swoop. After two horrific losses, their is no visible low point for this organization.
Matt Millen’s 27-74 tenure has been heavily marked with this type of embarassment, especially on the road. Honestly, will an upcoming bye and few personnel changes remedy the damage that was inflicted upon the organization by their struggles on Sunday?

It was awful. I was out of town and taped the game for a nice Sunday evening viewing. Even though I would have known the score by then, it still would have been Lions football to watch. I got home, after listening to an hour of talk radio dissecting the game, and describing how horrible it was, and still watched the fiasco. I fast forwarded through parts and sat in disbelief in parts. It was awful. I was going to take the tape back up to my folks place and toss it off a silo, but decided on taping tonights Wings game over it.
It was awful. They took my heart and stomped on it like some evil succubus. Wait–that’s it. The Lions are some sort of succubus. Matt Millen is in control of the Lions. Matt Millen must therefore be Satan.
There are some great guys on this team that put forth outstanding efforts on each and every down. Unfortunately it appears that there are others on this team (lineman???) who put their brains and bodies on auto-pilot at various times throughout the game. It takes 11 men to field to play on either side of the ball. When only eight are playing, you will lose. You can field the eight greatest eight players in the history of the game and they will lose if three are sleeping.
Let me just say this–SAME OLD [insert blasphemy and profanity ] LIONS.
I don’t know what else to say. They should be able to beat Tampa Bay. I honestly wish I could say that I didn’t want them to win. I do. I am what’s wrong–a fan no matter what. I should be shot for maintaining my loyalty to the sorriest franchise in all of sports. I just hope that some Patriots fan chokes on their pretzel when they get up to cheer for their outstanding franchise. It enrages me to know that some football fans are so happy and I am so miserable.
Damn it all to Hell.

Don’t be too forlorn, Hondo. In regards to the Pats, just be thankful that the Lions secondary doesn’t have to face them this season. The permanently etched horror of Culpepper-to-Moss would certainly be outdone by Brady-to-Moss. Maybe you could send your vhs tape to the Pats?
