I have no such barriers to finding the stream of my choice so I guess I should be considered lucky. It's a pain at times to find a good one though.

MichiganCardinal Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 While on the Detroit Lions 2023 Revenge Tour™, the Bucs aren't as obvious a choice as the Seahawks, Panthers, or NFC North rivals, the 47-7 drubbing the team took from the Bucs in 2020 still pisses me off when I think about it. Practically the entire interim coaching staff was in COVID-19 quarantine, which for any other NFL franchise in 2020 would have led to the game being postponed until Monday or Tuesday, as was requested by the Lions. Instead, the NFL forced them to play on Sunday with zero game preparation and poor Rob Prince at the helm, who will forever have one of the sorriest NFL head coaching records of all time as a result. Stafford got hurt on the very first drive and the Lions never crossed midfield the rest of the game. Their only points came on a punt return from Jamal Agnew. But Tom Brady got to embarrass us en route to clinching a playoff berth, so the NFL was happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 The Lions leading the division by 2 with the current tie breaker over 2nd place so basically 3 games, when was the last time we've had a lead that big? The 50s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel it’s well worth it. Honestly, $350 wasn’t that ridiculous to be able to watch any and all football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us it's more principle than $$$...if you factor in the cost of Youtube along with Sunday ticket you're looking at $450 (without Red Zone and who really needs that?) That's on top of whatever your internet (or cable monopoly) service charges for decent speeds. Throw in whatever other add on streaming services like Netflix, Peacock,Apple, etc you are talking about real money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really a great example of how much pain being a Lions fan causes. We are nothing but fodder for other team's highlight videos except for a few glorious hours in the 1990s and maybe now.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) I was LMAO off today listening to Valenti on 97.1. Valenti and a caller go at it regarding Jamo. The caller got tired of him dogging Jamo and calling him underwhelming. The caller said the Lions need to give the guy more targets and Valenti exploded and blasted off to space screaming about you don't get targets if they don't trust you yet. This went on for a good minute plus with Valenti and the caller screaming at one another about Jamo and whose fault it all is. All of Valenti's radio theatrics and antics aside, and the callers too, are we at a point where Goff, Johnson, Campbell, just don't have any trust in who Jamo is as a player yet? Should he be getting an increased target share or does he need to earn that? How can you get a job if you don't have any experience, but how can you get experience if they won't give you the job? Where are we at with Jamo this week? Edited October 10, 2023 by Mr.TaterSalad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, really I am 46 and want to sit in my Michigan made La-Z-Boy and watch guilt free. Plus I don't want to set a bad example of stealing to my 15yo. $350 a year and I get every Lions game, sold.

To them, I say, this staff really loves them some David Montgomery. He had more receiving targets against Carolina (six) than any WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) It is hard to win on the road(even if there should be a lot of Lions fan there), especially against a decent team. Of course if the Lions do end up losing Sunday people won't remember this fact, it'll be all doom and gloom because to some fans they expect you to win every game in the NFL despite predicting you to lose 5 or more games throughout the season.
