The Lions exist because they're willing play on Thanksgiving Day....which allows the rest of the NFL watching world (that could care less about the Lions) to turn off the tube, sit down and enjoy a nice relaxing holiday meal with the family

at least that's what my uncle told me

Have won five in a row and are tied for first. Sorry league --- They're BAAAACK :-)

please excuse these other fans , they are shocked and in denial , they can’t believe are Pats are back .maybe not all the way yet but headed in the right direction

They both have losing win and lost records for some time now and I commend you for supporting them hometown teams, BUT WOW.

What does it take for you fans to spend thousands of $$$$$$ every week/season for tickets to religiously support these teams even though you know their not going anywhere in the play offs?

Just Curious Packer fan.

At least they don't have an idiot for a quarterback!

The Lions have not won much in the past 5 decades, even with great backs like Billy Sims and Barry Sanders. As a long time resident of a Detroit suburb, I can tell you many people in Michigan attribute the problem to mismanagement by the Ford family. Poor choices of coaches and the unwillingness to spend money to build a great team are the root cause.

Personally, I could care less about the NFL. Overpaid ungrateful athletes and their disrespect for the flag overshadow any entertainment value that they can provide me. I find Roger G's latest attempt to win back fans by dressing players and coaches in camo just another example of the hypocrisy. This sentiment is echoed by two Purple Heart warriors in my family.

I love football, just not the NFL. As a grad of The Ohio State University and the Univ. of Michigan, I can tell you that the OSU-UM football rivalry is as good as any in all of sports. Tomorrow at Noon. Go Bucks, crush Michigan and make it 1 for 17 for UM.

How do you explain that all through this kneeling controversy that the military was still advertising on game days and service men were showing up and being honored and the Air Force was still doing fly overs and the army golden nights were doing jumps into games, perhaps they knew it was a false narrative and no disrespect to service men and woman or perhaps they knew and had used some of the many programs that the NFL has created for service men and woman and there families , some of these programs go back over 50 years and that’s the sentiment of this more then one Purple Heart warrior . This thread is ruined now anyway so let’s start hearing the patriotic BS I won’t be listening, FYI how come your watching college games , they were kneeling to , hmmm isn’t that a little hypocritical also ?

This year is going well and last year was the only losing season in over 20 years. Not sure any other team can say that.

That’s kind of a personal question, some people who came from or preferred a certain team is their own preference. If you now live south, then why do care about the team that you seem quite fond of. Maybe those people that you are so eager to talk down to may have connections, like someone they know is or play or played for the team.

Can tell you are a Packer fan

[HORNET]

I can remember a lot of times that the Packers were getting their ##### cleaned

[HORNET]

Why apologize to a packer

Raiders same problem; real fans stick with their favorite no matter what!

[Chueyboy]

How soon you forget my fellow Packers fan. When I was 4 the Packers won the Super Bowl. It wasn't until I was 40 something that I saw another trip to the Super Bowl.
The Bears were there in the 80's. They'll do it again. As for the Lions....I hope they can pull it together one day.

The question has not been answered. Are they still kneeling? I'd love to get back into it but not a chance if they continue to kneel.

For the curious Packer Fan. The Packers haven't always been as successful as they are now. Growing up a life long Viking fan, I seem to recall a couple of decades where the Packers weren't much better than the Lions, starting in the 70's and 80's. And yes I know how passionate Packer Fans are because they stood by their teams through those difficult times. As a Viking fan, I still suffer but hope someday Hell will freeze over.... BTW, 2 of my 3 kids are Packer Fans because of Bret Favre.....
