Anybody watch the Cincy/Detroit game?

Did the lions fans come dressed in red/black like they said they were going to?

If they did, was it alot of them? was it obvious...

Just curious, as a lot of fans are rebelling against the team, i just wondered if it really showed up like they said it would...

Yes many came in orange and that were protesting and carrying signs to fire GM Matt Millen. They didn't route for the Bengals, at least you couldn't hear them, but there were Bengals fans there as well. Basically, the Bengals did pretty much whatever they wanted. Palmer threw at couple of interceptions otherwise the score would have been worse.

This is precisely why this team will NEVER be in the same class as the GREEN BAY PACKERS.

Pathetic!

Fish - couldn't disagree more. Lets see how your favorite team draws when they haven't won a playoff game in 57 years. Obviously money doesn't impact the Ford family's football decisions. They are in the same class as Tom Benson, the Bidwell family, the Browns, and the McCaskeys.

To be fair, I watched the game and there were many Bengal fans who made the trip from Cinci (about 5 hours).

The Fords have sold the idea of the Lions playing in the Super Bowl this year, but have regressed seriously the last two years. Fans were finally fed up. Fords don't really care since this was their last home game of the season.

I just got back from the game and I can say that there were alot of Cincy fans there that made the trip and also quite a few Lions fans in orange. I would never do anything like that myself, but to each his own. I am just as fed up as any fan but nothing will ever change as long as the Fords continue to own this team. They are big time Millen supporters, i.e. 5 year extension, so I expect nothing to change any time soon.
