Dear Chicago,

You're right. There's no reason to be concerned about Stafford staying healthy for an entire season for once.

This post reeks of ass tears.

I don't mind. I understand what the Bears are. I would be the first one to say that the Bears fell ass backwards into a division title last year. Lovie is overrated and Angelo is a subpar GM and they both need to go.

I also think it's crazy that Detroit fans are acting crazy like this. Have they completely forgotten the last 10 years of Lions football? I'd be treading with cautious optimism. Detroit's success is as fragile as Stafford's health. I'd be fearing that the whole thing is going to cave in if Stafford has another season ending injury.

Enjoy it while you can, I guess.

Well it took them 10 years to build an offensive line.......and with Stafford finally getting the Brady/Manning/Rodgers calls for roughing the passer, I don't think he's as liable to get injured as he used to be.

Good for him and Lions.

lol wut? The way we've played the last ten plus years is exactly why we're acting like this. Every generation of Lions fans have been let down, or just watched shit football, of course we're going to get excited after starting 5-0 and winning our first MNF game in decades. Who would expect otherwise?

Stafford got hurt on two freak injuries that were exactly alike. Most people get hurt when you fall directly on your shoulder with a DE on top of you. And, we probably have the best backup QB in the league, so even if by some chance Stafford does get injured, we have someone capable, which is all we really need. Anyway, enjoy third place.

God forbid a fan base such as Detroit's finally has something to be happy about. Quityerbitchin, trick.

The '07 Lions started 6-2 and they looked like they were going places. That season ended badly and the following season was a disaster. I'd agree with spiker, tread with cautious optimism.

That was a completely different scenario and team. I remember that stretch of games pretty specifically, and we didn't win six games, the other teams lost them. So many ridiculous turnovers and missed opportunities that we almost gave them, they were really ugly wins. The game when I gave up any hope for that teams was the Giants loss. I've never seen a team play as bad as the Giants and still win, they gifted us the game constantly in the second half and we never took advantage of it. Just look at the roster from then compared to now. Jon Kitna was out quarterback, that should tell you pretty much everything.

This is great. Chicago fans (of all franchises, the fucking hapless Bears) are trying to pooh pooh on Detroit fans for finally having something to be excited about.

WOW, WELCOME TO THE NFL, TOOK YA LONG ENOUGH YA FUCKING FUCKS

This thread is not simply Detroit fans being excited about the Lions, though. I'd be content to let Detroit fans celebrate. But this thread is calling out Bears fans. If you want to call us out, that's fine. Chicago lost. The Bears can't win every game. Don't get all sour when I bring up the fact that Detroit has had a losing team just about every year the past decade and their QB has significant durability concerns because it's all true.

You could pretty much say the same things about the Cowboys and Vikings games. Those teams pretty much gave the game away to the Lions and the Chiefs pretty much gave the game away to them.

Bears fans suck. If you don't agree, go to CCS.

Hmm. One could also say this about the Bears.

Most of them do suck which is why Detroit fans are calling us out today. Just about every fanbase has some loudmouth idiot segment that simply yells louder than the rational fans. Unfortunately, we all get grouped together as one.
