I’m not. The Vikings and Lions are lifelong bosom buddies when it comes to choking in important games.

The Lions don't play important games

I have seen the Lions twice in Detroit, but not once in the two games they've played in London, both of which were absolute shithouse games. I think they won against Atlanta on a retaken field goal, and then get absolutely stomped by Buffalo the next year

The Falcons game is one of the funniest games ever and the stomping was to Kansas City, which got Lombardi fired

I like how even other Lions writers have started dunking on him for his dumbass takes.

poo poo, has Monarrez ever had a good opinion about anything?

I think since Drew Sharp died he’s tried to take over as a master hot take artist, except Drew Sharp was funny and it was kind of a game to figure out if he truly believed his most trollish opinions. Monarrez is just awful.

Congrats to Jim Schwartz for being the first DC ever to allow 600 yards in a victory.

He’s shown steady improvement I think. The second half of the season he was really good.

Not a big fan of getting a center 20th overall in a weak o-line draft. Hoping Guice or Nick Chubb fall to 51.

I love having my pro football team going “legally he’s in the clear” and my college team going “pobody’s nerfect!” about these things at the same time

Carlos is so bad, I can almost tell if he's dispensing hot takes by the tweet headline alone. Not even Drew Sharp was that blatant

He tried to absorb Sharp’s soul but he’s not nearly as good of a writer. With Sharp you could tell he was having fun with it.

Barry announcing his retirement via fax to Wichita's newspaper was incredible in its own way

Another part of Caldwell's coaching gameplan philosophy was to be a chickenshit who played it safe most of the time and never taught his team that converting fourth downs was something doable.

They probably win that wildcard game against the Cowboys if Caldwell wasn't so awful.

Yeah but there was also a screwjob from the refs and as ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER said:
"10 YARD PUNT WHAT THE gently caress. WHAT THE gently caress."

Remember that time the Lions couldn't get the benefit of a review because Schwartz threw the challenge flag on a play that would be automatically reviewed?

I still don't understand that rule

The Lions saw a guy have a seizure on the field and thought “let’s use a first round pick on him”
