The Notorious B.S.G. Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 It really does suck to be a fan of the forlorn never-been-to-the-Super-Bowl-or-even-come-very-close Detroit Lions. Lowered expectations are a way of life. "Next year!" the everlasting battle cry (and that is in OCTOBER!) "But look at our hockey/basketball/baseball team!" the yearly defense. Oy! Even Barry Sanders knew it was a sinking ship. Can a fellow fan or two share my pain here? Even if you have another fave team. Maybe the Browns, or the Cardinals. Anyone? Anyone?
kazzman Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Sorry, only during the years the Steelers are rebuilding...
rickyrob Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Awww, BSG, what a shame. I've been following the NFL since 1992/93 season, and I can't remember them having better than 0.500 record (am I wrong?) I'd change to hockey mate, I'm a RedWings fan and have a Sergei Federov replica shirt ....just look at the hall-of-famers there....Brendan Shanahan, Stevey 'Y', Chris Chelios (don't tell the Blackhawks fans ), Dominic Hasek.....I could go on.

Test4VitalSigns Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Hey B just be glad your not a Niner fan like I am...Man how the mighty has fallen.......
sfuentes Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 The Niners need a better coach and better organization. If they do those things, I wouldn't be surprised if they got into the NFC Divisionals.
Indica Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Sorry, Can't help you out BSG. In baseball I'm a pirates fan so I do know what you mean. But being a steelers fan, the worse year I ever seen them have was 5-11 One time. But I do know how ya feel since I'm a pirates fan.... all I do is hang in there and hope that next season is better, don't forget to stay loyal!!!!!!

Its beginning to be the same way with the Penguins. Let me rephrase that. It IS that way with the Penguins.

sfuentes Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 They blew it with New England, a team I can't stand. Just like the Yankees.

spirit of radio Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Exactly ........ that's the whole point of this thread.
Batman Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I feel your pain . I been a New England fan my whole life ,even had season tickets once they went 1-15 and didn't win any games at home not even in the preseason. The next year Kraft buys the team I drop the tickets then they bring in the Tuna. Now I can't get a ticket unless I sell my girlfriend to a middle east oil tycoon and she won't go for that so I'm stuck. But have faith stick it out it will turn around soon maybe next year. you have a god set of runningbacks,a pair of nice wr's and a good Headcoach . And a better record then seven other teams in the league.
rickyrob Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Yeah the Pat's were crap in the early nineties, the change of logo and snazzy silver replacing white and dynamic logo for the helmet (intead of some guy looking like he was about to have a crap) seemed to coincide with the road to quick success....ironic that the same thing happened to the Buc's as they were equally as crap for even longer, changed their logo and made themselves 'mean-looking'...few years later Superbowl winners. Just found the answer BSG - change the logo to a more mean looking Killer-Lion with some teeth!

Hey fellow Vikes fan! I must admit, I do bleed purple and gold but they have sucked latley! I suppose backing into the playoffs is better than not being there at all. I just hope they can scrape up whatever they have left as far as team spirit goes. After all, they are playing the reviled green and gold at Lambeau field!
