I hate the Lions

Print**Edit** I am sorry Lions fans. My intent was not to troll. I was just wondering if you all see a heated rivalry growing between the 9ers and Lions. The title was clearly used to get attention. I then explained why I have such strong feelings for the Lions. I then said I would understand if you all feel the same about the 49ers. And I finished by saying I think these two teams will play each other for years to come in very heated big games that matter. If you would like me to delete this post and leave POD let me know and I will. **End Edit**
I assume you all hate the 49ers as well. I wanted to find out. Do you have the same emotional response to the 49ers that I do to the Lions?
I haven't always hated them. I think that Barry Sanders is the best running back that has ever lived and the most exciting player I have ever seen. Growing up I tried to watch him as much as possible. My best friend growing up was a Lions fan and so I always hoped for the best for them. When he and I played football together he was Barry and I was Joe. And even now, I think that CJ is the best WR in the game.
Prior to when the Lions played the 49ers earlier this year I knew absolutely nothing about them. Then I joined Pride of Detroit. Of all the games played this year I think the fans here at POD talked more smack and respected the 49ers less than any other team. That is fine. That is what fans do. We all talk smack. It is one of the things that makes sports and being a sports fan fun.
But after what went down, I now hate the Lions the most. All of the following makes me hate them: the reported dinner that Harbaugh had with Schwartz before the season, the comment that Schwartz made before the game while being interviewed, the thing Schwartz yelled across the field, OF COURSE the fit that he threw because he got his hand shaken too hard, everything else Schwartz does after and during games against other teams, his stupid face and everything about him, and the fact that Suh is a whiney entitled thug.
I am guessing that Lions fans feel something similar towards the 49ers. You probably blame Harbaugh the way I blame Schwartz. You probably feel like the 49ers got lucky against the Lions this year and want revenge. I would assume, you (and most people for that matter, including many 9er fans) think the 49ers aren't really as good as their 13-3 record would indicate. Among other things that you probably dislike about the 49ers and their fans.
Having said that, though, I felt that win over Lions was the most satisfying I have felt since 2002. It made me very happy. And it makes me look forward to the future. A future with a heated 49ers/Lions rivalry. These are both relatively young teams that look poised to have success going forward. Nothing would crush me more this year than losing to the Lions in the playoffs. Do you feel the same about the possibility of losing to the 49ers?
We play next year in SF and maybe again in the playoffs. These could be 2 teams that play each other in the playoffs for years to come. That is exciting to me. The 49ers have sucked for the last 10 years. I didn't really get emotional about the games because none of them mattered. Now they matter again. I haven't had a team to really hate since the Cowboys in the early 90's and the Pack in the late 90's. Now I have the Lions to hate. I have crazy emotional games to look forward to that will kill me if the 49ers lose. That is fun.
I look forward to hating you guys for the many years and playing a lot of big meaningful games against you. Two great teams battling for high stakes. I just hope you lose all of them because my heart couldn't take the loss.

2 words Anthony Davis
He’s a poor excuse for a human being. I NEVER wish for a player to get injured. but nothing would please me more than to See Cliff Avril take his knees out! He won’t though because unlike Davis Avril has a little thing called class. Nothing about the niners really pisses me off. I like Gore,Davis,Willis. After Anythony Davis opened is fat F’ing mouth like some kid on a short bus with a loli pop. I didn’t give 2 damns about the Niners. For me and I think a few others as well that one Peice of smeltering pig anus named Davis took a small incident into a new level of hatered. All this aside I hope he gets hit by a bus. Everything that remember about SF team with Rice and Joe being a classy oragnization. This 2 legged piece of fecal matter changed everything. Anthony Davis…..ROT IN HELL
P.S Thank you for coming over here and telling us you hate the Lions…Were use to it, nobody really cares what everyone else thinks anymore.

I understand what you are saying.
For the most part we (fans of any team) are willing to look the other way when players on our team does something stupid and only point at the other team. I would feel the same way about Davis if he was against the 49ers. Since he is on my favorite team I justify it by saying things like, “well he is only 22, he will grow up,” and I hope that the other players teach him how to act. But as a fan all I really want is for him to play well and then I can overlook everything else.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
I don't think
it will be much of a rivalry going forward…Lions are built for the next 10 years with our young core and lets face it Gore is on his last leg and you guys don’t even have a franchise QB

I don't know if I can agree with that.
I do agree the Lions are built for the next 10 years. They have a really young solid core to build around.
But the 49ers are like the 4th youngest team in the league. They have a rookie QB who is the backup right now. If he sits behind Alex for a couple of years we hope he will be able to step in and be awesome.
Plus, and I know I am a crazy blind fan, but I really think that Alex is only going to get better and better under Harbaugh. Next year will be the first year he has the same offensive coordinator 2 years in a row. And this was his best year ever. Hopefully he continues to improve.
However, I will take Stafford right now if you offer him.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
well the contest for most random fanpost of 2012 is over...
congrats!!!!
Matthew Stafford, Quarterback: a man barely alive, Gentlemen we can rebuild him, We have the technology, We have the capability to make the worlds first bionic QB, Matthew Stafford will be that man, Better than he was before

No offense to you,
but I feel like yes, most Lions fan hate the 49ers. Especially that scrub tackle Anthony Davis for dissing Cliff over twitter after the game in which our D-Line wrecked your O-Line. You can’t say anything bad to Suh without forgetting you got Davis on your team.
In all fairness
that was actually a pretty good game for our O line. They aren’t very good sometimes.
The Ravens wrecked us for like 9 sacks.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
sigh ...i don't have enough energy to hate. I have too use up whats left of my brain to spell
and i don’t have enough energy for that
I should probably learn to be like that
God knows I could use help with my spelling.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
It sounds to me like you came here to find
more reasons to hate the Lions, honestly, because I can’t think of any other reason you would even write this up.
Now I have the Lions to hate
Do you want a cookie?
Did you guys see the size of that chicken?
I would like a cookie.
I was just wondering if you guys think this could be a good rivalry going forward. A good rivalry must include emotion. In the 90’s I hated the Cowboys. It made the games really exciting because I cared so much.
I would care a lot when the 49ers play the Lions now. I wanted to know if the people at POD would feel the same about a game against the 49ers.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
For it to be a rivalry...
the teams should probably play each other on a regular basis. One time this year, possibly in the playoffs, and next year. Three times in how many years? Unless the NFL starts adding these two teams to each other yearly schedule it can’t be a rivalry. Stop trolling.
LITTLE MAN IN BACKFIELD! LITTLE MAN IN BACKFIELD! GO STEFAN LOGAN!
If they can win their divisions they would play every year.
The Colts and Pats played every year for like 10 years in a row.
Plus if they played in the playoffs.
The 9ers/Cowboys had a very intense rivalry from different divisions.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
If they win their divisions...
The fact remains that at this point the two teams do not play each other regularly enough to have a rivalry.
LITTLE MAN IN BACKFIELD! LITTLE MAN IN BACKFIELD! GO STEFAN LOGAN!
For it to be a rivalry
The teams have to hate eachother. I hate the Bears, I hate the Packers and the Vikings. I even hate the Cowboys. I nothing the 49ers. They don’t even register to me. Until this thread came up and somebody mentioned his name, I couldn’t even remember the name of the guy who was insulting Avril on Twitter. I know they have a quarterback, and that Schwartz yelled at Harbaugh for being a cockbag, but other than that… nothing. I have zero emotional reaction to the 49ers.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

That is what I was wondering
Does it matter for you.
I think most people at NN care more about the Cowboys and Seahawks.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
It's not a bad thing
When I hate someone I want to see them do poorly. I want Rodgers benched for ineffectiveness. I want Jerry Jones to go bankrupt because of his new stadium, I want Matt Forte to get his feet stuck in cement, and I want Jared Allen to run face-first into a brick wall.
I don’t care about the 49ers. If you guys do well it doesn’t matter to me, if you lose, again, I don’t care. I’d only pay attention to the games if you were playing the Lions or one of the teams I hate.

And if you notice I also said some nice things about the Lions at the end.

No I didn't actually.

Well I don't want the 9ers to lose them.
I did call the Lions a great team.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
Yeah...
but you can’t say a positive thing and then a negative thing and point out “well I said something positive.”
LITTLE MAN IN BACKFIELD! LITTLE MAN IN BACKFIELD! GO STEFAN LOGAN!
I don't think that
saying I hope the Lions lose when they play the 49ers is a negative thing towards the Lions.
I want all teams to lose when they play the 49ers.
I don’t think all other teams are great.
The Lions have a chance to be something special. That would make beating them feel even better.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
You are a strange troll.
Not really angry like a lot of them . Not completely lacking sense either. Might have to come up with a new category for you, feel special!

I think I made a mistake
My intention was not to troll.
Basically I was wondering if you Lions fans could see a rivalry growing with the 49ers.
I think it could be an awesome rivalry with a lot of passion. Two teams that really don’t like each other. As BBlades mentioned above they would have to play each other for it to become a rivalry.
I think they could end up playing each other int he playoffs a lot.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
Then you simply chose the wrong name for your post.

That is probably an understatement.
I try to use titles in my posts that will get attention and then try to make an articulate point and an interesting post after that.
Normally I fail at being interesting, articulate and drawing attention to my post.
I guess this time I only failed at being interesting and articulate.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
You failed at being respectful in my view
But yes I could see a rivalry growing between the two teams. I just wonder if the 49ers can hold onto this quick growth and success. The Lions have been working on this for a while and the 49ers have been been a little more rapid.

Technically we have been working on it for
about 7 years. We just weren’t good at it before now.
The 49ers were actually the trendy pick to be really good last year. They just underperformed because of a really bad coach. I don’t think they will be 13-3 next year but I think they will be a better team , if that makes sense.
Hopefully the Lions and 9ers meet for some really good playoff games in the future.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
It's fine to say that...
but don’t point that out as a positive thing…because ultimately it is a negative thing.

The title was definitely intended to get attention, I will give you that.
However, if you read what I wrote at the end I was trying to give a compliment. Although it is a veiled compliment. I talked about how I think the Lions are going to be good for years to come and it could be an exciting rivalry.
In order for their to be a good rivalry there has to be emotion involved and games that matter. That means both teams have to be good. And there is emotion involved between the two teams now and hopefully they are both good going forward so that the games matter. It makes being a sports fan more fun.

I think this came off worse then you intended. I really only disliked the SUH is a thug part. The rest I appreciated as I am happy we are now a team getting under the skin of other teams. Rather be hated then laughed at.

Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
Good or bad, he's not a thug. I think people just jump to that conclusion.
I guess i just want more from a critic then calling an aggressive black athlete a thug. No offense but get a thesaurus. I have no problem with fans from other teams hating a player who has acted the way he has, I expect it. But the term “thug” is so overused in sports today that it detracts from what you’re trying to say. It’s a pet peeve of mine, no biggie.

Chivalry is not dead ...
as a fan of football i totally get this post … guys dont be as hard on him. Maybe he actually see’s this rematch in his mind knowing Lions could upset both GB and N.O. Not to mention the long term of both teams maybe being good for years to come.
I was just talking w/ a friend of mine about the future of the NFL and teams on the up and up or ones that are set to be good for long term. However the 49ers werent one we considered for LONG TERM advancement not in terms of offense. And then i said the best Hype for the NFC would actually be the Lions moving forward to the NFC playoffs. w each team minus N.Y meaning ATL would have to win.
Saints – bad calls a closer game than given credit for and a Defense that was actually built to stop this type of offense. the Best team vs the surprise team and undisciplined.
Packers – the team that beat them twice w/ two different QB’s vs the team that can come back from anything including a real 14-2 season GB deserved. not to mention not winning in 19 years at Lambeau. The Suh stomp, Flynn dogging the defense. …
Atlanta – get the cartgate .. lol while their line is being questioned for being as dirty as the lions Defensive line ….
49ers- two young coaches w/ lots to prove moving forward w/ their future as well as def vs off and handshake gate.
if Giants – whos front 4 is better .. plain and simple …
I wont go as far as trolling though it borders it but as my subject reads Chivalry isnt dead … Good luck to the 49ers next week regardless who they face
I don't think there is any game that could be more exciting
to me than playing the Lions.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
I'd love that matchup in the NFCC
And I’m rooting for you guys to beat the Saints (though it’s not because I like you more :P). I disagree that the Niners aren’t built for the future on offense. We have some young playmakers like Michael Crabtree, Kyle Williams, Vernon Davis, and Kendall Hunter moving into their primes, and an offensive line that is finally starting to gel after years of frustration. As for QB, it’s my opinion based on this season that it wasn’t so much that Alex was a bust over his first few years, but rather that the team wasn’t able to surround him with anything close to a solid offensive line or playmaking receivers. And, even if that doesn’t work, we have CK7 waiting in the wings. I think that both the Lions and Niners are on the rise, and will be two of the top teams in the NFC before too long.

It shows respect for whatever reasons you guys choose. It beats pity by a country mile.
On the other hand, even if I’m a diehard Lions fan, I find more things to like about the Niners than I would care to dislike. Love your Defense, filled with great players and they work as a unit. You’ll be good for a while, trust me.
Losing to you guys can only make us a better team because you’ve shown us our flaws and we must find ways to correct them to get better. This can make us stronger for the playoffs so I have no hate for a really got team that beat us fair and square.
I just love good football and the Niners can play good football. I can only imagine what you guys could do if Staff was your QB, I’d pencil you in as a shoo in for the SB.

They squeezed ahead of you without a QB of Brees' talent!
They got there as a team that played good tough football. If you don’t know about their defense, you guys could be in for a reality check!
They have great special teams because they drafted good players. They needed Harbaugh to guide them. They can play in nasty weather or domes. The only piece they lack is an elite QB, that’s how good the Niners are. In nasty cold weather, they stand just as good a chance of beating the Packers as the Saints or Lions.
You guys haven’t played them yet and I hope you don’t get a chance this year, I fear the Niners more than the Saints. I rank them ahead of the Saints as far as going deep in the playoffs.
Offense wins fans, Defense wins championships. The Niners are built for nasty weather, you guys are a good dome team. If it gets to a showdown in Lambeau in cold weather, I give the Niners the edge over the Saints because of the way they play football, less spectacular but more effective. They are a run 1st team and they eat up the clock which is good for bad weather conditions.
Don’t forget, they got the bye, not the Saints. They are a scary good team because they have scary good players!
Our run game is better then there's it's ranked 6th and we have played a much harder scheduloe
You sound like a true Packers fan who’s afraid to face the Saints
Maybe you should worry about playing the winner of the Giants/Falcons
And not Saints/Lions because thats who you will face if you make it to the NFC championship game
I believe the Lions are the most balanced team in NFC next to the Saints

Get this lol!
I’m a Lion’s fan! Because I show an opponent respect does not make me a Packer fan lol.
I still think the playoffs can be played in foul weather and champions can work through the elements.
As far as the Saints are concerned, they are a very good team, worthy of their record. I give them that but their defense is nowhere near the Niners. In the playoffs, a great defense can prevail over a great offense.
As a Lions’ fan, I really don’t care who we play, we only need to beat the team we are facing and this week it’s the Saints. If the refereeing can be fair, we can beat you guys, this is the NFL playoffs and we earned our seed!
After we’re done with you, we’ll go on to Green Bay and play like we can. I fear none of the opponents but I do respect them. Your defense is easier to shred than the Niners. Same goes for Green Bay.
I think we got the easiest route to the Conference finals, I just hope we’re up to the task! Offensive teams do not scare me, can you get this? I’m quite sure you think the same thing about the Saints. I’d rather face the Packers instead of the 49ers!
Hopefully, tonight I’m hoping our defense shows up!!!!!!!!!!!!
A good defense used to trump a good offense
I dont believe thats the case anymore woith the NFL rules slanted towards the offense and scoring
You have to have an expl;osive offense to stay in games
No team can shut down the offense of the Saints Packers Pats Lions or Giants and even Houston with Matt Schaub
They can score quickly and no lead is safe
Where an average defense or even less then average can shut down the 49ers offense

We'll see!
Just hope it’s a great game from the 2 teams.
I do get your point about the rules being slanted in favor of the offense but these are the playoffs. We’ll see if we get another 3 offensive pass interference calls in this one.
SF iirc only gave up 1 rushing TD against the Seahawks. Well if you get through us, you’ll see for yourself but I really believe you ain’t goin to Frisco :)!
I have so much respect for your defense, Det 35 NO
If the refereeing is like the last game, we can’t beat 11 saints + the umpiring crew, ask Burleson :)!
Still, may the best team win and let’s have us a good game!
Thanks for the read
And now, back to anticipation of tonight’s game!
We have our man. It's Stafford. It's Suh. It's Calvin. It's Delmas. What we need is Man Number Two to stand up.

kind of what i was thinking but there is atleast 2 stupid 9er fans roaming around tonight
Matthew Stafford, Quarterback: a man barely alive, Gentlemen we can rebuild him, We have the technology, We have the capability to make the worlds first bionic QB, Matthew Stafford will be that man, Better than he was before
Better, Stronger, Faster
They said we were a one trick pony, talkin bout CALVIN. Well thats one hell of a TRICK!!!! - Nate B.
I'm not prejudice, I hate everyone equally.
If they are not Lions, they pretty much all stack up equally, meaning, I don’t give a rats ass about them as a team other than knowing my enemy and who can help me win fantasy football.

we as Lions fans are not use to the hate. We are use to people loving us, because we were basically an easy win for generations. But I implore you to hate us. Hate us all you want. I love it. Honestly there’s nothing more I can say that Katt Williams doesn’t: Google

I think that is the funniest bit that Katt Williams does.
And that is exactly what I was talking about.
The only reason I hate the Lions is because it was a big game and there was a lot on the line when they played. The only way the 49ers or Lions can be in big games is if they are good. If they are both good then they will play each other in big games. It should be good times filled with hate for each other.

NO WAY
I’m sorry but the 49ers and Lions will NEVER be RIVALS! Naturally like most Lions fans (IMO) I would like to see a rematch between these two teams only because the officials were such a big factor in the outcome. 49ers fans were talking all kinds of smack prior to the game because they were 4-1 and we were 5-0 when we met, and we were doing the same with the 49ers fans for the same reason.
Handshake gate was a ridiculous and frustrated move on Schwartz’s part, but I can understand why he would be so pissed about what had happened in that game that he was near the point where he was susceptible to blowing up.
No I don’t hate the 49ers, I would like revenge for the game they were gifted by poor officiating, and misplacement of the ball etc. but it isn’t because I hate them. I do dislike Anthony Davis immensely, that filthy mouthed, ignorant excuse for a human being only accomplished two things with his tweets attacking Cliff Averill. First he showed everyone who saw his tweets how ignorant and uneducated he is, and second that he has no gut’s because he was afraid to leave his tweets up long enough for the NFL to see them.
I'm surprised This post stays
I remember motownbeggar said on a game thread after the Carolina Panthers game that the following week Green Bay would blow out the Lions. That was when the Lions were making dumb penalties and lost a few games in a row. He gets banned but this guy talks smack and all is good? Strange…
Is CLF still banned? My computer is down so I don’t get on here much.

Hate the 49ers? Not yet.
I just view them as another potential playoff opponent this year.
One of the best Defences in the NFL with a less than mediocre offence. When you get an NFL QB I"ll get worried enough to dislike you.
As far as that stuff between coaches, I am sure Schwartz and Harbaugh don’t like each other, but I could care less about that. I hope it develops into a good rivalry between the teams and not just because the HCs don’t exchange Christmas cards.
Frankly, San Fran needs a rivalry more than the Lions. We have Green Bay and Chicago already and the Niners have……………..the freaking Seahawks? Cardinals? Rams? Please, play in a division that challenges you a bit before you start talking smack.
"I’m sorry for all the people who want us to run the ball 40 times a game, but we’re going to put the ball in No. 9’s hands and he’s going to make plays for us like he did today," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. Amen to that Jim!
I think the West is going to be good next year
I am a little worried actually.
The Cards started 1-6 then won 7 of their last 9 games. (Lions fans know about teams that end one season really strong and what happens the next year.)
The Seahawks have been 7-9 the last 2 years but during that time they have turned their roster over. They have gone from old to one of the youngest teams in the league. They are built to get better. Luckily they have a worse QB than the 49ers.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
Earth to Niners Fan; THEY HAVE NO QBS!
The best QB in your division is Bradford. Are you kidding me?
John Skeleton? Tavaris Jackson? Who could not cut it in the NFC North. And your own guy, a typical game manager who is dependent on the defence holding the other team to less than 17 points and his running game to be able to do anything.
I’ll worry about your division when you get some real NFL QBs.
"I’m sorry for all the people who want us to run the ball 40 times a game, but we’re going to put the ball in No. 9’s hands and he’s going to make plays for us like he did today," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. Amen to that Jim!
Why are we giving this guy so much attention?
This fan post is almost copied directly from a post he made on Niners Nation. He simply removed his complaints about Lions fans themselves (i.e., our so-called conspiracy theory about officiating, talking trash, etc.) so we wouldn’t take as much offense to his post, while he could still feel better about himself.
That is exactly what I did.
This has been on my mind since they played. As soon as that game was over all I wanted was for the 9ers to face the Lions in the playoffs.
If you read that other post I also mentioned that it is a problem I have.
That made me wonder if Lions fans care about the 49ers the way I care about the Lions.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
I don't hate the Niners.
You guys are not even on my Radar. I’m not a big Harbaugh Lover bur I respect what he’s done over there especially with Alex Smith.
One game doesnt a rivalry make.
I admit that I absolutely hate the 49ers.
I hate their coach and a few of their players and think they have a complete sham of a quarterback. I also think they have a very good defense and some key skill players to build around.
Do I think they deserve 13-3 and a first round bye? Hell no. I think they are easily the most overrated team in the playoffs and the best candidate for a one-and-done in the divisional round out of the four top two seeds. They are not better than any team in the playoffs aside from the Bengals and Texans… and only the Texans because Schaub is out.
Unfortunately, a win over New Orleans tonight sends us to GB and not SF. Nothing would make me happier than to see Jim Schwartz give Jim Harbaugh an over-zealous handshake after handing the bloated-record 49ers a loss in the playoffs. So yeah… I hate you guys. Happy?
Yes! That is what I was hoping for.
Think how sweet it would feel for you if the Lions knock the 9ers out the playoffs.
That is exactly how I would feel if the 49ers knocked the Lions out.

49er's are 1 and done
I was hoping that we would meet them again on way to Super Bowl. We will beat New Orleans, Green Bay and I was hoping they would be there for un in NFC Championship Game. Unfortunately for the poster the 9er’s are one and done and won’t be there for us this year. We will see them next year and it will be fun to us to shut this and every 9er fan up.
Exactly
For you beating the 9ers now would be just a little sweeter than just beating some other random team.
I would love for the 9ers to beat the Lions. I would hate if they lost. Then you would be able to shove this right my face and tell what a jerk and loser I am. I don’t want. I can’t have people knowing that about me. So the 49ers have to win. That makes the game a little more exciting.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
I dont see a Gene Washington on your roster or a Ted Kwalick, so I rather doubt it
Although that lil fugger Gore is 10 times better than Ken Willard. My point is Brodie was an All Pro QB with an underrated D that couldnt take the 9ers anywhere.

Theres more knowledge about the NFL on this particular board than any other site Ive ever seen. I feel I’ve got a bit of a handle on things but there are cats on this site as make me feel like a puling idiot. (Or a young 9ers fan :)
As long as your boy Smith doesnt deviate an inch from the game plan and just manages Hobos games plan, your D will keep you in most any game. Bad news if Smith gets conspluttered and has to start ad-libing.

by YpsilantiJeff on Jan 7, 2012 12:37 PM EST up reply actions
His ad-libing
usually involves taking a sack in a different way than he took the last one. He has been good this year at avoiding trying to force it in.
But you are right, they have to win as a team.
The Lions on the other hand I think could play basically with just CJ and Staff and they could probably still put up about 30 points per game.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
The Lions have gotten all three phases of the game going, imo, 1 game and a couple of halfs
and a number of quarters. When they put it together, they mop the floor with any team in the league. When they dont…well, we are still only 3 seasons from 0-16. With a young QB and a young HC, a fragile back 7, an old Oline and little running game…
But above and beyond all that, we cant get a game called both ways the same way. Now as a fan of team that has Golden Bawls as far as the league is concerned, you wouldnt be able to perceive, let alone acknowledge that such a thing could even exist in your little cherry red and gold world

Ah yeah, not only am I insinuating, I am making a declaration.
Now, your Golden Bawls are definitely bigger than the Cowboys these days (The original owners), but not quite the girth of those possessed by the Saints or the current Kings of the Golden Bawls the Pack.
However yours are quite impressive and they left their mark on our meeting earlier this year.

I would consider Alex Smith overrated.
He’s a game manager and not a overly impressive QB. As for an All Pro D and an average at best QB….look at the Bears. It may have gotten them to the super bowl a few years ago…but they got trashed and have been on the decline ever since.
LITTLE MAN IN BACKFIELD! LITTLE MAN IN BACKFIELD! GO STEFAN LOGAN!
True
And nobody hates Alex more than a lot of 9ers fans.
I am not one of them at this point. I think he has a chance to get better. He has never had the same OC 2 years in a row. Next year will be the first year he has.
This is his best year and I hope that his second year in the offense will be better.
Plus people say that we haven’t had injuries but our offensive weapons have been hurt. Crabtree broke his foot in the offseason and didn’t get back to full strength until the middle of the season. Joshua Morgon broke his leg in week 4 and he was the team’s leading receiver at the time and looking really good. Braylon Edwards got hurt in week 2 and never got any better. Those are the top 3 WR’s on the team. The 49ers biggest struggle has obviously been in the passing game and that is where they have faced the most injuries.
So I am hoping next year can be better. But I know, I am blind fan. I get that.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
i think alex improves
He’s a smart,athletic kid and the Niners were a mess before harbaugh. The same system and direction will help him tons.
by BillySimsMadeMeDo on Jan 7, 2012 3:35 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
He's had a ton of different coaches in his football career
I think he can be a solid QB. He’s obviously not the next Marino or anything but he can be ok.
I have no hate for the 49ers
Your team is exactly the kind of one and done seasonal success hard move back to the median next year type that there is nothing to hate. Your team has stayed primarily healthy this season. That will change next year. Just ask the Bears. You have the highest positive turnover ratio at +28. That will come back to the median next season. Those two realities will cost you games next season. Count on it.
I am happy your team is having a great season for it’s fans. I would not hold my breath on this being anything more than a single season of excellence followed by mediocre seasons to come.

You are certainly right in some ways
I don’t think anybody thinks that they are going to be 13-3 again.
The NFL is made to bring teams back to the median.
The things that encourage me. The team is young and should improve. But more importantly is the change at the top. The 49ers basically have a new owner (actually president, but same thing), a new GM, and a Coach. I think Harbaugh is good (I would not be surprised if others disagree, in fact I would expect it).
In the NFL having the right front office is the key to sustained success. The Steelers have been good forever. The Giants have great ownership and are always at least pretty good. Since the Ravens new owner took over in 2000 they have only missed the playoffs 4 times. There are many more examples.
The 49ers have had 2 really good drafts since they got the new GM. I would expect that to continue. So that is why I hope for the best.
But you are certainly correct about the TO’s. It would be basically impossible to continue that.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
just gotta throw my 2 cents in here
Fuck the Niners, their fans, and all they ever were and will be!

Sorry, but I think this post needs to go away.
I know you’re “bored,” but we have a game to look forward to watching later, and ultimately this seems like an unnecessary (and negative) distraction.

Now, if there were an upcoming playoff game between these two teams,
I would probably be more open to this.

Who really gives a crap what you think?
This article is total garbage and has no relevance what so ever. GO LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it's your loss...
I don’t see the Lions-49ers as being a rivalry. It’s hard to have a rivalry with a team you won’t play every season. Besides, the 49ers have already begun to come back to earth. They won a lot of games early through emotion and effort., while the rest of the NFL was taking them for granted . I don’t think we will see the 49ers do as well as they have this season for several seasons, and they will have to make the right moves to do that.
Meanwhile, you will be hating on a team that has a very bright outlook for the next several seasons. That sounds like a formula for frustration to me. Just sayin’.
I don’t hate the 49ers at all. I have always loved the 49ers since the Montana-Rice years. During those seasons my fantasy football teams were filled with 49ers and they won me some championships. The Lions were typically bad during the 80s and I needed a team to root for that was winning, so I adopted the niners.
I am not as diplomatic about Jim Harbaugh. You have to understand that I am a huge Michigan fan and alumnus. I know Jim Harbaugh better than 99% of the Niners fans because I have followed him for decades. The guy has a tendency to be a real asshat at times. Sometimes his nasty streak makes him say and do things that are just not very cool. The problem with the confrontation between Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz had little to do with the handshake and a lot more to do with how Harbaugh pushed Schwartz aside afterward and acted so dismissive. It was an incredibly disrespectful way for a coach to act., but it is about par for Harbaugh. He is NOT a class act.

I understand what you are saying about JH
He is the kind of kind that only a parent or a fan could love. As a fan I love him. If he was coaching somebody else I would hate him.
I posted it a little bit earlier but the reason I am hopeful for the 49ers future has less to do with the players on the current team and more to do with the front office.
New Owner/President and new GM. They have had 2 really good drafts so far and I would hope that continues. That is something that is more important for long term success than anything else.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
Why I don't hate the 9ers or their fans..
It’s stupid to hate each other because of our coaches. Jim S was just pissed off because the refs spotted the ball 5 yards closer than it should have been on the final drive so the hand shake was the tipping point. Remember Harbaugh did go to Michigan and you have only known him for a year so we know in REAL life he’s a dick to other teams. I feel like Lion’s fans who are rude to 9er’s fans is because of Alex Smith and how much recognition he gets while Stafford gets the “china doll” title and the oh so clever “de-toilet” insult. Then you have Suh and his stomping, obviously that was bad publicity for Detroit and the Lions but to call him a thug is bordering absurd. The Packers deserved it (haha) I mean one of their DTs is in prison and another got arrested for drugs but seriously off the field he’s a good guy and that’s what matters most.
I’ve leaned to never generalize a team or by their fans across the internet especially over football. Good luck in the playoffs, stay classy 16to80fan.
i dont really hate the 9ers
i just really hate harbaugh and his giant head. look, schwartz acted like an ass pre-season, and looked like a rabid chihuahua after the SHOVE (not shake, SHOVE), but flat out ignoring fatheads role in the situation, pisses me off.
but apart from him, i have respect for a lot of their players, their situation, and their history. these teams have a long way to go before its a rivalry
I understand you completely
That is exactly how I would feel if I was a Lions fan.
I posted this on another thread as well.
These 2 are the kind of coaches that you hate if they are on the other team and love if they coach your team.
I hate JS stupid face and you hate JH big head. We are grown ups all the time. As a sports fan that is my chance to have irrational hate for something that doesn’t matter.
Joe, Jerry, Steve, and....Who is next?
Reason why I dont hate the 49ers
You don’t hate on teams that aren’t very good
People hate the Heat
People don’t hate the Cavs
People hate the Yankees
No one cares about the Blue Jays
Hate the 49ers?
49ers are supposed to be our rivals now? Sorry, we’ve got the Packers, Bears, and Vikings to be rivals with in the best division in football. No need to fret over a team in the worst division in football.
