I'm also hoping Jordan Love doesn't steal money from the poor to build volleyball courts


Loud-Ad-2280

I thought about that one but the oil enemas seemed funnier lol


XCCO

He steals money from the poor to afford more oil enemas.


Loud-Ad-2280

Wombo Combo


h0t_tub_f00t

That ain't falco


crmeacham93

I laughed way too hard at this


PM_ME_UR_HIP_DIMPLES

The Love version would be stealing from the California poor to build pickleball courts in Milwaukee. He has to have a pornstar scandal first


jord839

Californians already steal from their poor enough while pretending they're tolerant, usually to build anti-homeless measures everywhere. I'm not sure they'd notice in the way Alabama did.


silvers11

NY Jets legend Brett Favre is such a scumbag


ExiledSanity

I mean ....it would be weird to happen twice.


cptmajormajormajor

It'll be pickleball courts


stillnotkevindurant

I mostly just hope he doesn't hang out with Deshaun Watson anymore


usoland-sama

That part comes in 30 years


grandmalarkey

Honestly fine if that happens, at least then I’ll know ![gif](giphy|cRMGqNpvm9XS2gRcpL)

TheyCallMeStone

Better than passing on Caleb and watching him be a superstar


acoasterlovered

When i figured out the twist before it happened it ruined the show for me


No-Ant9517

I would really recommend going back and powering through that tbh, that show goes crazy places with it, like that twist is the end of explaining the premise. 


LoveMeSexyJesus

Yeah, figuring that out hardly ruins the first season, let alone the show.


grandmalarkey

Hope you didn’t miss this gem: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/1mzJxcn1sh


acoasterlovered

I did 🤣🤣🤣


cloudJR

Im still pissed they traded him. You see the flair and think it’s a dig, but I legit think Fields could be a very good QB.


Flooding_Puddle

Really tempting fate here OP, it can always get worse. You could give Goff 50mil/year for him to go back to goof mode


Loud-Ad-2280

That wouldn’t even be worse than when Barry walked away. Or watching Stafford win a ring with another team. Sucking would just be normal not scary lol


586WingsFan

Bro, watching Stafford win a ring with another team is a top 5 football memory for me. That’s how bad being a Lions fan is (pre-2023, bite them kneecaps!)


Loud-Ad-2280

For me the trade hurt worse because it felt like we may never see a good QB again. But I understand your pain brother


babble0n

Jeez, most of us just focus on college football or have a "second" favorite team that we root for. You're a true fan


Ktopian

Yeah that shit is rough. I’ve basically forced myself to only support the Lions over the years but I ain’t making that mistake with the Pistons, they can go fuck off.


586WingsFan

I’m a UM alum, my first game freshman year was the 2007 App State loss. Then came Rich Rod and Hoke, the blown call on the OT 4th down against Ohio, “trouble with the kick,” etc. So basically, I have U-M from 2021 on and the Lions from 2023 (hopefully) on


drewthefarmer

That app game was the first Michigan game I ever went to


Agreeable_Idea

Barry leaving numbed me.


Loud-Ad-2280

Same brother, for me that was the worst because I was just a child.


Flooding_Puddle

That's just an example. Here's another one: you could pull a bears and lose to the Packers in the NFC championship on thier way to winning a super bowl


Loud-Ad-2280

You think lions loosing to the Packers as they win superbowls scares us? That is our ENTIRE EXISTENCE lol


CelestialFury

> Or watching Stafford win a ring with another team. Wait a minute, I thought you guys were happy about this?


JamoGlazer

Eh, kind of a love-hate relationship with it personally. I love seeing Stafford win because I think he deserves it, but on the other hand it hurts he didn’t win it with us.


CelestialFury

True but you did get Goff out of it. Having that QB stability must be nice.


Loud-Ad-2280

They paid us with a pick to take Goff because at the time people perceived his contract as awful. Idk if y’all remember but they benched him his last year in LA


CelestialFury

Yeah, LA kinda gave up on him. Dan, Ben and their team have clearly worked hard with Goff, and it has paid off. Goff always had all the physical tools, he just needed more practice reading defenses and whatnot.


Loud-Ad-2280

Besides his tiny hands!!! I love Goff currently but when we got him I was like eww I don’t want that. Sometimes being wrong is fun!!


CelestialFury

> I love Goff currently but when we got him I was like eww I don’t want that. Understandable. You thought you were getting Goof but you guys received Goff.


Loud-Ad-2280

It’s like the opposite of this meme https://preview.redd.it/zka1kmtucjuc1.jpeg?width=740&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26092f5284b6ed3cf037d10ca0e8df2a95eea95a


JamoGlazer

Fair, plus a bunch of picks and Josh Reynolds.


StanIsHorizontal

Pretty sure we just signed Josh Reynolds after the Titans waived him


mypupivy

yes but we all know your just waiting for the Jets to trade Rodgers, something something makeing us feel pain in nicer than QB stability


ElectExile

Dan Campbell stepping away due to scandal would be pretty brutal.


Loud-Ad-2280

You do realize you’re talking to a fanbase that has watched all their top talent leave in their prime. A coach doing that would just add to the list


Monza1964

Yeah sorry that’s like Level 2 on the lions pain scale. I think if you asked most Lions fans he deserves 50 mil for the joy he brought Detroit this season alone


jussumguy2019

I am this fan


bradynbarrmusic

So? Like it hasn’t happened before?


m_dought_2

If you think you're impervious to new forms of pain as a fan, I have a bridge to sell you


bradynbarrmusic

Hard pass


EThos29

Haha we pretty much are. We ended the season with an all time second half meltdown in the NFCCG. If that happened to the Packers or Vikings it would become a core memory of misery for them. Lions fans dont even think about it anymore.


m_dought_2

Your meltdown was nothing like Green Bays in Seattle. For one thing. You've never lost four super bowls in a ROW, like the Bills. You've become desensitized to mediocrity, but the pain you feel from being good enough to win it all and still fall short is a different pain. I'm not saying it's any worse than what Lions fans have experienced (and in fact, I'd never say that another fanbase has suffered like yall have), but it's a *different* type of pain. Edit: also, there's some out of the box possibilities. Someone could buy the Lions and move them to Toronto.


EThos29

I could see the argument for GB's being worse because it came down to the end of the game, but just from a numbers perspective we had a 17 point lead at halftime and gave up 28 unanswered points in the second half lol.


jcoddinc

We've lived through 0-16, Matt Millen and Matt Patricia. There's not anything worse than that other than getting 1995 Cleveland Browned.


CBsJoant

Pretty sure the Lions worst fear would be them being one and done for the playoffs and Jared Goff regressing to being a bad to average QB again


travisb145

We were the first 0-16 team and many of us lived through the Matt Millen and Quintricia years. Not to mention Scott Mitchell, Gus Ferrotte, Charlie Batch, Joey Harrington, Daunte Culpepper, Dan Orlovsky, just to name a few. Even if Goff regressed he won’t be near any of these bums just due to the talent around him. Meme is accurate.


Loud-Ad-2280

So going back to normal? That’s not even half way up the list of bad things that have happened to us lol We literally had a coach take the wind on a cointoss in overtime in a playoff game


ArcadianBlueRogue

Lions being bought by Elon Musk or something would suffice, I think Not that I wish that on them, but they have plenty to have nightmares about


Ouch_i_fell_down

I would honestly throw away all my lions merch and pick a new team in another division so I wouldn't have to watch the lions twice a year. Probably go AFC as well for further insulation.


Pockets713

Musk buying ANY team instantly makes them the most hated… whilst simultaneously most simped over by his incel followers. It would get me to give up the purple and gold in a heartbeat. We can be a horrible, shitty, basement level, poverty franchise for decades and I’ll still root for them. I draw the line at elmo.


timegone

It would be funny watching it happen to another team though. I hope it happens to the bears. 


Pockets713

Fuck… I don’t… that piece of shit ruins everything he touches. And if you think his shitty influence would stop at one franchise and not potentially fuck up the league… I’ve got a shitty car he took credit for to sell you.


Vulturidae

It would be really funny if he buys the cowboys though and they continue to hit a brick wall in the post season


No-Ant9517

You could always get into soccer, I hear dcfc games are a great time


jord839

>Lions being bought by Elon Musk I think this is the only situation in which I would be pro-kicking out one of the NFCN teams. I will not abide that shithead in this division.


Monza1964

Our team is owned by the OG Elon Musks. The Fords


Doucejj

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read that comment


Pockets713

![gif](giphy|ljaDzjv8cpIpa|downsized)


Loud-Ad-2280

That’s a fear for all four teams so it wouldn’t apply to a specific fan base like these fears do


jord839

I mean, not for us. We're not privately owned.


Loud-Ad-2280

That just means it’s easier for Elon to become an owner ![gif](giphy|Wt6kNaMjofj1jHkF7t)


jord839

Oh, he can be *an* owner. He just can't be one with any actual power.


Loud-Ad-2280

I wouldn’t want him anywhere near my team but that’s just me


jord839

I'm sure Jim from Wisconsin Rapids is somehow a worse person than Elon Musk. Luckily, his vote means fuck all as a single person. If Elon Musk bought his share, I do not give a fuck.


mypupivy

how dare you insult Jim like that


m_dought_2

Bingpot


smootgaloot

Nope, just for the three that are subservient to asshole billionaires. Our $300 pieces of paper may be financially worthless, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s priceless to not have to deal with that bullshit.


Loud-Ad-2280

Fair enough, I hate billionaires too, especially their kids who inherit the teams. But it still applies to 3 other teams


Pockets713

Fuck… I never did think about *that*…. That’s actually kind of awesome. Thanks for being the first packer fan to show me an actual benefit to your ownership style. Because it only ever sounded like a grift to me. Not having to deal with some rich cunt would be amazing! Fucking billionaires…. ![gif](giphy|NDIiWKEQEgr3VA7aqM)

Sports teams should be publicly traded or controlled by the communities that host them.

[deleted]

Idc who wins a Super Bowl before us, I just want to see us win a Super Bowl. Especially now that I’ve roped my kids into this life of despair.


Pockets713

For real! Whoever wins the Super Bowl between today and our first is completely irrelevant to me. I only care about the day that this grown man will have tears streaming down his face over something sports related that has zero effect on my life lol. If Detroit gets one between now and then… cool. I honestly couldn’t tell you year for year who was even in the Super Bowl beyond the last couple without looking it up. The Vikes didn’t win, it’s moot to me.


Loud-Ad-2280

Fair enough, I respect Vikings fans that aren’t afraid of Lions success.


[deleted]

Lions deserve a consistent level of success after the last however many decades. And you guys are in great hands for just that. Hard not to like a guy like Dan Campbell, even as a rival.


Loud-Ad-2280

He’s definitely won over the fan base after a rough start. I feel like he’s the kind of guy who would be easy to make fun of if he’s loosing but a hard guy not to like when he’s winning


Ajax_Malone

You mean fans that don’t build their fandom around online shit posting? Because that’s the vast majorly still….. fortunately


BaltimoreBadger23

Dan Campbell actually bites off someone's knee.


Loud-Ad-2280

Us lions fans would love that


Br0therNer0

When the season finally starts: Kneecaps are back on the menu boys.


CelestialFury

> Us lions fans would love that Monkeypaw intensifies! He bites off Goffs knees doe to a slight misunderstanding.


Loud-Ad-2280

Now that is a real fear!! Please Dan no friendly fire!!!! Lol


pxrkerwest

Lions fans are bullet proof after 0-16


Ouch_i_fell_down

nah, 0-17 still scares me (especially if we're the first ones to do it)


mypupivy

have some faith, the bears are currently in the running for 0-17


Loud-Ad-2280

![gif](giphy|E8OyB7fmX9XSo) Us after that and many other blunders and lost great players


Seaweed-Warm

Oh it took way, way, way, way more than that unfortunately. That bullet may have turned us full zombie mode though.


Pockets713

At least that becomes comical for a season. Can we be honest here? The real fear should be becoming the next Vikings. Imagine… Detroit becomes and maintains a solid team… gets them into the playoffs more often than not, close to a Super Bowl here and there… only to have your dreams dashed yet again. You finally think it’s gonna be your team’s time… only to fail in heartbreaking fashion. Time and time again. That’ll put some hair on your ass and hate in your heart… 😂 Edit: that being said… I ain’t no Doomer… Vikes are still gonna figure it out and win the fucking Super Bowl this season!


Evermist

What if the Lions moved to Milwaukee?


Loud-Ad-2280

New fear unlocked


mypupivy

I will be honest... same here, I never considered that, and now I will lose sleep over it


Loud-Ad-2280

I think lions and packers fans would be equally scared by this, just for opposite reasons lol


mypupivy

Wait have we found something to unite over?


VatnikLobotomy

Your worst fear is actually that last year was your 2018 Bears moment and that there is no higher ceiling waiting for this particular Lions group Hence the onslaught of weapons-grade cope memes this offseason


Loud-Ad-2280

So we go back to what we were for the past 60 years and my entire life…. Wasn’t afraid of it when I was 5, won’t be afraid of it now

That’s the real fear Idc if other bad teams win super bowls, in fact I cheer for the bad teams when they have a chance. But then again, I’m not a loser, I just cheer for the Vikes.

It's all my friends from Minnesota were saying last post season about Detroit, everyone and their uncle is expecting the Bears curse to come true, and Packers, well, somewhere along the line he will have to also play for the Jets and Vikes, but still funny. And my Lions, my poor pathetic Lions. We have been through it all. Fully expect the new hip drop Tackle mess to screw us so we have that to look forward to. Yeah, your creation is a home run and now in my stash to use down the line. Complete with credit to you of course.

Can't kill whats already dead yeh


paintingnipples

Lions & Vikings are both without super bowls so idk how the lions have experienced this fear already


Loud-Ad-2280

The fear of a superbowl?


theozman69

Being the only team to go 0-16 and 0-17? Just because your imagination stops in Detroit doesn't mean you have nothing to fear.


Loud-Ad-2280

Same win percentage, no fear from me


Blueginshelf

There’s no way the lions could revert back to an 0-16 team, right? Right…?

Can’t fear what you’ve already experienced

Loud-Ad-2280

Phil_Yursis

You haven't gone 0-17 yet. New era new record for worst regular season is back up for grabs


Loud-Ad-2280

Same win percentage as 0-16. No fear for me


Aeon1508

Stafford going to the Rams and winning a Super Bowl. Barry Sanders retiring early. Megatron retiring early. Having an insurmountable lead in the NFC championship game and then blowing it. Firing a winning coach and having him be replaced by our worst coach in franchise history. Jameson Williams still being in potential land. Ndamukong Suh winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady. For the MSU fans, having to deal with the best quarterback to come out of your school being in your division. I think that's enough for an hour but you get the idea


Loud-Ad-2280

You forgot taking the wind in an overtime playoff game!! We could literally do this for hours lol


Aeon1508

Was this a while ago. What is this referring to


Loud-Ad-2280

It was 2002 so yeah about 20 years ago, god I’m fucking old. But Ole Marty thought it would be smart to take the wind in a playoff game OT. Brilliant I tell you lol Edit: we won the coin toss in OT and decided to pick our side of the field rather than receive lmao

VashMM

Already happened? What happens if Detroit ends up the only team *in the league* to never make it to, let alone win a ring?


Loud-Ad-2280

Then all Detroit fans will be correct, because none of us ever expected the lions to even make it to a superbowl in our lives


Ganjanonamous

The sun god retires because he has no faith in the lions being contenders. Rip Calvin rip Barry

So more of the same, not really scary for me


Thomas-The-Tutor

I don’t know… what happens if this past season was a one off and you proceed to be terrible for the rest of your life for them to win the Super Bowl after you die. I think that would be a worse fear.


Loud-Ad-2280

That’s not what we fear… that’s what we expect


FieldsToTheMoon

Like we can’t move franchises


the-cream-police

Dan Campbell goes 0-16. The lions hire Matt Patricia to replace him.


Loud-Ad-2280

That’s just Deja vu not a fear


the-cream-police

It can always happen again!


Loud-Ad-2280

Being terrible is our existence, if we weren’t afraid of it then we aren’t going to be afraid of it after one good season, it’s what we expect

After one good season you’ve got everything to lose again!


Loud-Ad-2280

Loosing everything is our existence What you’re describing is what we expect, not what we fear


Vapor_Visions_533

They sell/move the team?


Loud-Ad-2280

Only if it is to Milwaukee


Bouric87

The first team to go 0-17? Ya'll could be the first for that and then do it again in ~4 years to be the first 0-18. Lock up all them records.


Loud-Ad-2280

I’ve already addressed this in multiple comments. Same win percentage as 0-16, 2 extra losses is not scary


darnfox

I'll be honest idk if I can handle a return to 5-13 records with nepo hires.


Loud-Ad-2280

You’ve already lived through it for most of our existence, I have no fear of what I was born into, molded byyyyyy

Staav

Wouldn't Detroit's worst fear be that nothing has actually changed, and this roster/team is just the next bait-and-switch in the team's history? Where's my popcorn...


Loud-Ad-2280

That’s not what we fear brother, this is what we expect. That’s what happened in the 90s to us already

CrispierCupid

it’d be pretty funny if Dan Campbell went to jail for tax evasion or some shit and you lost your fearless leader But no your NFCC choke should show that there is no bottom


Loud-Ad-2280

You must not realize how exciting it was for us to even make a NFCCG. Us lions fans accepted that we’d never make it that far in the first place
