"Here's what I do know. This team is going to take on the identity of this city, and this city has been down, and it found a way to get up. It's found a way to overcome adversity, right? So this team is going to be built on, we're going to kick you in the teeth, right? And when you punch us back, we're going to smile at you. And when you knock us down, we're going to get up. and on the way up, we're going to bite a kneecap off, All right? And we're going to stand up and it's going to take two more shots to knock us down. And on the way up, we're going to take your other kneecap and we're going to get up and it's going to take three shots to get us down. And when we do, we're going to take another hunk out of you...(you get the idea).

You told yourself it was going to be different this year. You KNEW it was going to be different this year. They started 4-2, the Packers were ravaged by injuries, and they were going to win the NFC North for the first time. Ever. THE LIONS HAVE NEVER WON THE NFC NORTH.
Smash cut to week 14, they're 6-7, somehow in contention for a wildcard spot, only to commit 16 penalties and give up 35 points. Somehow, once again, they are miraculously in a position to win.
You don't even need to watch, you know it's gonna happen, you just don't know how.
What better way to show your true feelings toward this dumpster fire of an organization? Same Old Lions.
