The Official Lions Off-season Thread!!!

[koonie]

Lions will do better then the Queens this year, I HOPE!!!

I doubt it. They have improved their talent level though. They could conceivably double their win total from last year.

[Jim Uran]

THAT IS HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!

And everyone knows the Cheesheads will be at the bottom of the division, I mean c'mon they're still wiping the tears off of their beer belly's from losing Favre, and their great season last year.

Brian, you may be right, it looks as though the Lions are determined to improve their team this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go from last to first. Our division isn't a very tough division, it will be a close interesting season anyway.

DON'T GIVE IN TO THAT!!!!!!!

[Sandmannd]

So if the kitties win one game this year will they be the most improved team in the NFL?

[klecker]

Did you see the new logo??? Cant call them the kitties now more. Now its ditch tigers.

[Scott K]

I figured I trolled in the other teams, so I figured to be fair I better make a smart comment about the Lions as well.

UM, HM?

I bet the Lions win at least 3 times the games in 09 as they did in 08

[Sandmannd]

Isn't 3 times zero still zero???

[klecker]

Oh yes, cause the one game they win Culpepper is going to get the roll on, on the queens in week two. This team is a little different than last year. Bigger and better players, better coaches. I bet the streak of no wins ends week 2. What a shame for the vikes to be the streak enders.

Going to sneak up on a few this year. The curse has been broken!!!! Bobby Lane has been reborn.

[klecker]

Thats good news coming from a division rivial. I think Al is having night mares of randy moss. In what calvin is going to do to him

Adam Schein of FoxSports.com and Green Bay cornerback Al Harris were caught in a numbers game this week.

During an interview, Schein asked Harris to give one strong opinion on anything in the NFL.

Harris’ answer? "The Lions can win eight games."

[klecker]

Am I the only non closet lions fan here or what????????? Do I get to moderate this section????

Where is that guy from the afternoons on 1130????

Lion Pride

the roar will be restored!

[Slowhand]

What formed you into becoming a Lions fan; place of birth, fan of certain player(s), ect? I am not asking to be a smartass, just wondering, thanks.

[klecker]

You know i Just dont know??? I Live and grew up in western Wi and have always been a lions fan. Even before Sanders took the stage. Best question I think I have ever been asked was in Oct, 2000. Sitting in the silverdome the guy next to me ask why I would spend (x) amount of money to travel to detroit and watch the lions. Been to four of their games and have yet to see them win. The day will come!!!!!!! The best part is two of my three sons are following me in my lion pride the thrid is just two little, 22 months. Just hope he dosent turn into a bears fan. Really thinking about pulling the trigger and taking the 2 oldest and wife to the dome for the lions game but am having a real hard time spending a couple hundred bucks on just tickets, let alone food and snackes. But it mayube worth it.

[klecker]

Well at 11:47 pm july 23rd there where 26138 veiws to farve thread and 976 replys = .037. Veiws to the offical lions thread where 837, replys 36, = .043. Times might be changing????????

[Slowhand]

I really felt for you guys when you went to the NFC Championship and lost to the Skins. That sucked; Barry's good shot @ Superbowl.

[klecker]

1992. Thanks for the night mare! My senior year in high school and I thought we were in the super bowl. But the Bobby lane curse kicked in. No tit;es for the next fifty years.

[zamboni]

Lions fans gotta be patient, since Millens been booted, things have been looking up. They shoulda hung onto Williams though

[Slowhand]

I respectfully disagree on the Williams deal. Detriot make out well on the compensation from Big D (1st, 3rd, 6th for Williams, and 7th). Michael Irvin came out on NFL Network this week and said Williams is not a bonified #1 WR; basically trashing his beloved Cowboys. Detriot having Calvin Johnson on the same feild as Williams showed Lions brass just how slow, and expendable Williams was; Dallas bought the hype, and now will be paying for it .

[zamboni]

You got a point, and with Millen gone hopefully those picks won't be spent horribly. With him there they always seemed to take a WR in the first round every year

[goblueM]

that was a great deal for my lions. CJ is the man now anyways.

Pettigrew was a great pickup, he's the whole package. I'm excited to watch this offense, particularly if the Oline comes together even halfway decent

The nice thing is, it can't be worse then last year

Wait tell you see the vikings this year now that Favre is to good for them!!!

[Scott K]

Your right, we improved our team with other players, so we should be better then last years NFC North Champions .

[PierBridge]

Actually we lost one of the best Centers in the game and we'll be lucky to win the division this year!

[klecker]

Its great you improved your team. But with out a quailty QB the ship will sink . Ya the vikes may win the division. But win in the post season i dont hink so. Still cant wait till culpeper gets the roll on durning week 2 v.s the vikes. Good team to break the losing streak. Sending williams to the big d was a good move. The new gm is doing the right things. Everyone may be a little shocked this year.

Yes you did but favre dosent need the best he can call protections at the line him self. Thats what chilly thought. Oh wait favre isnt coming as of now. Ya bad move.
