We Suck!

I just finished watching the Lions vs. Bears game at a bar in Las Vegas. My brother found a new joint, owned by a guy from Detroit, to check out and the atmosphere was pretty cool because literally everybody there was wearing either a Lions, Tigers, or Pistons jersey to show their allegence to Detroit. There were a few Bears fans in the house and it turned out to be their day because the Lions were horrible! No other way to put it. The final score drives home my point-- DET 7 CHI 34.

Turnovers on the first two possesions which led to a Chicago touchdown and field goal respectively. Then, everytime the Lions did something good, it was called back on a penalty. Including what could have been a momentum changing Boss Bailey interception returned for a touchdown in the third quarter. Instead of being within 10 points of the Bears, we ended up going down 24 after Chicago proceeded to carry the drive right down the field and into the end zone.

We're 0-2 to start the season and 0-1 in the NFC North division. We host the equally hapless Packers next Sunday. I would love to say that's an easy win, but I can't. Even when the Packers suck, Brett Favre finds a way to win at Ford Field. Or, the Lions find a way to lose a game they should win. We desperately need to win next Sunday. Realistically, we are exactly where we should be right now. We weren't supposed to beat Seattle or Chicago and we didn't. We should beat the Packers. If we don't, Lions fans can start looking forward to next season.

Oh, Good Evening!
