Growing up a huge Lions fan (no jokes please), playing Washington in Washington was always a loss. Hope this Sunday puts an end to the streak.

Ice....Not a Lions fan myself but if you go back a few months ago somewhere in the NFL forum. You will see that I stated that the Det. Lions is the Most improved team in the NFL.

I have them winning about 10 games this year...I do see them winning this week in Wash.
The Lost to the Eagles I thought was a Trap game, as we know what happened there !

But Just look at what they did vs. Minny !! they had lost the last 10 games when facing them. So Anything can happen !

Lions win Outright !! :103631605

I hope so. You wont find a bigger Lions fan than myself.

Being bad every year for 7 years or so it seems like the next year people say they will be much improved but it hasn't happened. I think if they win this game alot of non-believers will jump on the bandwagon but not willing to say it because how bad they have got pounded in Washington in the past.

That stat is being thrown around a lot. Means nothing in my opinion. DOes a game from 1997 effect today? No way, says I.


Wash plays physical and the soft Lions might have their hands full.

Plus the Lions seem like they struggle on grass. Dont have the numbers to back that up but juts an observation.

Yeah, like a lot of teams away from the home Dome. They play fast on that turf and indoors but it is a much diff game that they are not used to outdoors and on grass. That defense was exposed against Phili. OUCH!

I got the Lions in a over season total so I am rooting for them.

Lions have been a horrible road team (especially outside their division) the 30 years Ive been a fan.

You will not win if you are:

1. Soft
2. Have a weak defense
3. Do not run the ball well


Guess what Detroit qualifies mightily in all 3. They are a fraud team in my view.

I 100% agree with your 3 points but not sure anyone thinks they are any better than they are. Really have 3 games they should have won (Oakland, Minnesota and Chicago (in Detroit helped that one) )

One thing they have going for them is they have a top 10 offense and that should get them out of the dumps of the NFL that they have resided in for almost the whole decade. Give me them 7 wins and I think most Lions fans would be pretty happy (sad but true).

Your a Lions fan?

Best quarterbacks ever at any franchise...a real hall of fame roster below.

Gary Danielson was QB when I became a fan and here are the others I remember while being a fan past 30 years.

Eric Hipple
Andre Ware
Scot Mitchell
Joey Harrington
Rodney Peete
Greg Landry
Charlie Batch
Chuck Long
John Kitna

:pope:

Edit: How in the world did I forget Gus Frerotte?

Komlo? LOL

Forgot about Ferguson.

Like I posted, Detroit has best ever roster of qbs.

I also recall them having a washed up Dave Kreig and didnt they also have Rick Mirer on the sideline for part of a season?

Krieg yes. Mirer seems to ring a bell being there once but I am almost positive he never took a snap for them. Think he got cut in the middle f the season one year.

Heard a Wayne Fones interview the other day and they asked him the #1 reason the lions have never been good and he said they have never had a top notch QB. Makes sense. 35 years without a pro bowl season from your QB makes it hard to be an elite team.

It isnt from trying. 1st rounders: Harrington, Ware, Long, and a high priced free agent Mitchell means they do try every 5 years or so.

Right. I do not think anyone thinks Detroit is a playoff team. It is just watching them you can be lured into thinking they are good especially at home with a pretty wide open passing offense that looks difficult to defend.

This could be the year Detroit breaks that streak.

Lions have some sick receivers, and Carlos Rogers and Fred Smoot are terrible corners.
