In 2008

We won every preseason game and finished 0-16 in the regular season.

Well.

This year is DIFFERENT.

This year, we didn't win a single fucking meaningless preseason game.

Yeah, you know where I'm going with this.








































WE'RE GOING 16-0, BITCHES! SUPER BOWL BOUND, BABY!!!!

At least you're optimistic. Better than having to put your hopes on Joe Flacco.

My overt optimism hides a deep-seated feeling of inadequacy and insecurity about my football team.

This season could go either way and can turn on a dime. The schedule is very difficult this year (AFC West is our non conference opponents). Lions need to stay healthy or else this could get ugly. Also game 1 will give us a good idea of what will happen. The Cardinals are 1 of the worst teams in the league. A loss here will mean possibly a worse season then last year. A win will at least show there is a chance if things go well.

Going to the super bowl isn't enough. Winning is the only option.

Staff throws for 450 yards, 3 TD's, K. Johnson rushes for 180 and 2 td's, Hokinson catches 17/234/5 TD's. 3 thrown by Stafford, 2 by our backup QB which is put in the 4th quarter because such a blowout.

Lions beat Patriots 63-3.

I don't believe anyone will ever get to share the Limelight with the '72 Dolphins perfect season in that Ivory Tower.

History...
Lions QB Bobby Layne was traded for Steelers QB Earl Morrall.
Season after being traded...
Steelers 7-4-1
Lions 4-7-1

Earl Morrall helped (9-0) in the Dolphins '72 perfect season while Bob Griese was out with a broken leg and dislocated ankle.
