Hey guys, ive been thinking lately (which is dangerous in itself) and that loss last Sunday really, really felt like a punch to the gut.  Although the Lions were 1-5, i thought they were a better team than the garbage that has been lining up over the past few years.  I was watching the game with a few friends, none of whom were Lions fans, and they were shocked by how upset i was, this really was the conversation right after the game.

Friend 1: "B, why are you so upset ?"

Me: "We just lost to the FUCKING Rams !!"

Friend 2: "Yeah well they played the FUCKING Lions !"

Me: "get out of my house !"

Im hurting as a fan, i NEED this team to get better, it sucks soooooo much to be constantly ridiculed about my Lions, i havent posted anything on POD this week because im so bummed out.  When are things gonna change ? How many top picks are we gonna have to go through before we are able to have a 7 win season ? I dont care about the playoffs at this moment, i just want this team to win more than 5 games.  Im not going anywhere, im a Lions fan until i die but shit, how many more years of this crap are we gonna have to go through before there is a little payoff ?

i like Schwartz, i like Stafford, and there are definitely things that yo can be optimistic about but when Calvin becomes a free agent and the Cowboys, or Patriots, or any playoff team come calling, is he really gonna come back to us ? and do we have the right to be upset if he leaves ? 

Please talk me off the ledge...
