honestly if this was the case, the Cowboys would not have been mediocre for the past decade.

Cowboys are probably gonna get steamrolled at Lambeau, but considering the expectations coming into the season, still a great success overall tbh.

I know it hurts, but really the lions had their chances. 3 points in the 3rd and 4th qtrs. combined? bad call/good call/no call, that cowboy d screwed that shit down after the break. and really you want the best team to go play green bay. the team with the best chance to make a game of it, and that is unquestionably the dallas cowboys. packers 8-0 at home, boys 8-0 on the road. I really feel like the cowboys have a better shot to go there and do it than any team left, including the seahawks.
Detroit is a good team, with a great d-line, but they aint ready to deal with the packers at home

Detroit had 0 shot at doing anything at Lambeau... we all saw that last game of the season. All in all, Lions is not a SB team obviously... just would have been nice to get one win on a PO. This win would have been important for the long term to keep a guy like Megatron. This win would have been something to build upon...

Detroit needs new coaching staff imo, dudes with experience and culture of winning... they played second half soft and scared

It's been approximately 2,288 minutes since it happened . . . and, honestly, it hurts. It's a pain deep in the soul that I probably won't ever shake. To be that close to such a great moment -- only to see it slip through the fingers -- is still devastating. Somehow, it seems to have hurt more and more as the days progressed as the realization set in regarding what exactly was at stake.


Sure, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't mean much. It's not something real. It's not a death or some other sort of real life tragedy. But given that following the Li:cryns is my only hobby in life, it's painful. I'm not going to even try to lie. It hurts.


I've tried getting away from it all to try to forget about it. But there I was, in the middle of the Pacific on a cruise ship in a pitch black room trying to fall asleep, and all that I can see is that picked up flag replaying again and again.


Logically, I know the pain doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's just a football game. And the Lions already have four championships. And going into last season, a trip to the playoffs would have been seen as a great success. Hell, going into the playoffs, I thought having a close game was a success.


Logically, what the Lions did last year was a great accomplishment. A year ago, if you told me the Lions would be 28 seconds from an 8-8 season, I would have been thrilled.


But damn.


This pain doesn't compare to anything else I've experienced in my Lion fandom. Yeah, turning into a cuck sucked. Being known as "cuckvp" was tough to swallow. Donkey Kong Suh plowing Kori while I watched was kinda pleasant. The rest of the defense showing up to plow her wasn't as fun. The raising the mystery baby that happened 9 months later wasn't enjoyable. But all of those don't even register compared to this.


I've had an extremely busy summer. Life is great -- never better. But it continues to haunt me.






Hopefully going to the game Sunday will provide some sort of relief. The great thing about sports is there is always tomorrow. For now, at least, the pain of yesterday outweighs the excitement of tomorrow. I'm hoping that changes. Starting tonight.

With the Rodgers injury?
That's what has CowBoi Phan dreaming of being in a sandwich between Jerrah and Fat Christie.
