The thing about being a Lions fan is that early on you learn that God does in fact exist and They just love to ensure that our existence is a hilarious prolonged poo poo-show of increasingly dumb proportions. Bless this stupid football team.

Yeah, exactly. You didn't need to watch the kick, it was preordained exactly how it was going to go down.

This extends to the Lions Experience in all forms of kicking- if it was Prater or Hanson taking the shot, you'd know it was good. But it's not either of them, and as such, they'll Lions it up. Always.

Lions winning the Super Bowl will clearly be one of the signs of the apocalypse. I bet there's a Nostradamus prophecy everyone is getting wrong, or a bible verse that no one's been able to puzzle out about it

They started a QB who had a negative td/int ratio in college and he immediately threw a pick.

If your QB can: throw the ball to a wide receiver, go through a simple read progression, and/or be trusted to throw the ball past the 1st down marker on 3rd down, then by default they are better than any QB on the Lions' roster.

The answer to "can such-and-such very good college team beat such-and-such very bad pro team" is always a resounding "hell no", but I think this current Lions team is one of the most debatable cases. Like put them against something like the 2001 Miami team where half of the players ended up getting drafted, and I think The U keeps it within a couple of scores. This Lions team is just plain lacking in talent.

You can tell the Lions are doing the best they can, but ultimately the talent doesn't match their ambitions.

I hope the Lions are awarded this when they finish the season winless:

The lions have been right there in several games, they’re not nearly as bad as the other 0-16 team. 2008 got wrecked in all but two or three games. I think they’ll win a couple

The red zone coverage of this was perfect. Hanson very incredulously talked through how he sucked so bad he couldn’t even get the starting job at UConn, had the negative td:int ratio, but somehow got a gig in the nfl. Then as soon as that intro finished, loving instant pick thrown directly at a defender :lol:

Yup. Hanson was going on about how he threw at least two ints per td in college and now his nfl td:int ratio is 0:2.

They weren’t even the first team to try him. He spent 2 years as the Packers’ third qb, unable to beat out noted stud Deshone Kizer. So yeah eating your division rival’s garbage is an extremely bitch rear end lions move.
