Reply to comment by UndercoverTrumper in [Adam Schefter] Sources: The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who 10 months ago signed a contract extension through the 2027 season. The Cardinals still never have had a head coach - any head coach - last longer than six years while the team has existed for over 100 years. by B0rtles

You went to the Super Bowl in 2009. As a Lions fan, respectfully, shut up. ;)

We were rebuilding from the Leinart + Kevin Kolb experiments at that point - somehow the stars aligned to have warner and fitz on the same team at the same time and kept them both healthy. we rebuilt for that one glorious season. that was it

but yeah all respect to the lions fans - you guys dont "rebuild" - you just kinda fester

True. There were many envious/incredulous Lions fans comparing the franchises after that year, like wtf?! They were supposed to be just like us!

After this season though, I think my Lions are on the upward. I've been a fan since the mid 80s when I was a kid. This is one of the toughest squads I've seen since the Sanders-era.

To be fair, i just wish the Lions could win a playoff game. The Super Bowl is a pipe dream

I’m almost 30 and they haven’t won one in my lifetime. It’s insane. It’s been 30 years with countless different coaches and players, and they’ve never even managed to be above average.

I'm 43 and the 1991 NFC Championship feels like a lifetime ago. I think we have a real shot next year though. Five of our losses this year were by one possession. We beat Aaron Rodgers twice. It feels like a different mentality. A couple years ago, they wouldn't have won this last game in GB. They would have fucked up that 4th down conversion. Goff has totally changed my feelings on him from the start of the season.
