Rambling
I knew it would happen today. i knew that Detroit would not get their only win of the season in Green Bay, there was noway two streaks could end today. I have even been contemplating whether or not this would be a good thing because it might actually lead to real change for a team I have grown up loving.
Yet, here I am hours after 0 - 16 has become a reality, and it still feels like somebody sucker punched me in the gut. Somewhere deep down inside my stomach and in the parts of my brain that (evidently) don't work so well, I think I still felt that they might pull it out. Thats the only way I can explain this shocked(although I don't think that is the proper word) feeling.
As much as I want to say I have had enough, I will be back next. I will watch Ford make another bad decision. I'll allow myself to get duped by some seemingly hope filled instant in which the Lions will look like a real NFL team. and come next December I suspect I will once again have a feeling very similar to the one I have at this moment. I think my only solace is knowing that I do not suffer alone.
So to the other faithful on here, enjoy the off season and lets hope for a better Lions team next year.

I second that
I am already waiting for next September, when this team will get another opportunity to get out of this hole, and give all of us suckers a glimmer of hope before falling flat, yet again.
I might be the only one who tries to find positives out of this horrid season, but I do think there is something to look forward to. Calvin and Kevin Smith are obviously studs, I finally saw some signs of life from Gosder Cherilus, the rookie D-Ends Avril and Fluellen (mostly Avril) have lots of potential, and the team has nowhere to go but up. With all the picks this team will have early on in the draft, someone will have to actually be good, and free agency should be interesting. I hope (but expect) the front office will make some smart moves and there will be hope for the future. Go Lions!

I agree
We’re far too pessimistic, which is probably understandable but I believe we can improve next season. I’m not expecting a winning season, just improvement. A solid foundation for the future. If we come out of the 2009 season with hope of a strong 2010 season, I’ll be happy.
