I know im in the South but someone on here has to be a fan too! Its nice to watch them play good for a change. Its been 31 years sence they have started the season 3-0 and been sence 97 when they won at Minnesota!

Go Lions!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer::beer::beer::beer:
 
Im a georgia fan so Ive been pulling for the lions since they picked up stafford. Id really like to see them make the playoffs at least.:beer:
 
My sister just informed me that not only are the Tigers doing well, but so are the Lions. She said it HAS to be the end of the world.

I'm just waiting on the Red Wings to start regular season play. Then I'll start caring... :)

I was born and raised in Farmington Hills, just outside Detroit. Lived there until 2000. Then I got smart. :)
 
I was born in charlevoix mi so born a lions fan and u of m fan too and they are 4-0

I used to love going to Charlevoix, Benton Harbor, Petosky, etc. in the fall. Beautiful area.

I was just checking out the weekend scores on the Detroit Free Press online. They looked like a scene out of Bruce Almighty when everybody gets their prayers answered all at once. Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, U of M, MSU all won. Sorry, Central Michigan. :)
 
Not a Lions fan, but a fan of the game...and I've been saying for a couple years now that the Lions look nasty on paper...and now it looks like they have the right pieces and in the right spots. Now lets just hope the know how to win...it's really easy for a team that's been bad for years to get overconfident, hit the quicksand and never recover.
 
Dont wanna jinx it, but I think the Lions will be fighting the Packers for the NFC North crown this year. I thought at best they'd be a wildcard, but they look a lot better than that. As long as Matt Stafford stays healthy, they have a shot at going deep into the playoffs. That Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field (Packers at Lions) is gonna be a good one!

That said, I think many picked the Lions to be good this year, so its not too much of a surprise IMO.

Who I am impressed with is the BUFFALO BILLS. Holy crap, where did these guys come from?! I mean seriously, Ryan Fitzpatrick was 5 picks away from Mr. Irrelevant. Beating the Patriots was one thing, but picking Brady off 4 times, and coming back from a 21-0 halftime deficit, damn. They were undefeated at home last year though, their troubles came on the road. They have already played the Chiefs at Arrowhead, which is a notoriously hard stadium to play in...but that cant really make up for the fact that the Chiefs have melted down worse than the Chernobyl reactor this year...
 
The Lions are killing it! the bills are my WTF team so far. Although yesterday I was pulling for NE because I have brady on my fantasy league.
Colts I think are gonna have the worst record this year and pick up Andrew luck in the draft and get mentored by one of the greatest QB's of all time....wow.
 
I've been a fan of Stafford for awhile and as a fan of the game I'm excited to see both the lions & bills doing well.
 
There must be an apocalypse coming when lions are 4-0. i'm a lions fan and never would have thought i would have seen the day.
 
One more great second half by stafford and the lions. Too bad the tigers couldnt get it done.
 
well, it looks like i will make a trip to the mall today, and buy the wife a detroit shirt. shit, i may need to buy myself one, because there is no need in wearing a dolphins jersey this year.
and i hope the colts win a few, the dolphins could use a little Luck (pun intended)
 
I cant belive it man its great to have a team to pull for have been there threw the bad and the ugly and now am there for the good.
 
What I think is funny now are the bandwagon fans...never stepped foot outside of the state of NC...probably don't even know where Detroit is on a map...probably couldn't list more than 3 past or current Lions...but by God they are the biggest Lions fans on the planet...and many of them are apparently closet life long fans.
 
If they can beat Green Bay on Thanksgiving, they have a shot at winning the NFC. So far their schedule has been kinda easy....Chicago was the biggest threat in the last 5 games and they crushed em.

The Packers, Saints, Chargers, and perhaps even Oakland or San Francisco, are their only real threats.

trust me, i'm a true phins fan. just pissed that they ignored their shortcomings in the offseason.
just because i don't want to wear a phins jersey doesn't mean i'm any less of a fan.( ok i'm fat, and my jersey doesn't fit anymore)
 
lol.To be Honest, I cant remember the last time I wore a phins shirt either.
Somebody needs to teach our defense how to tackle. Among lots of other things.

Heres to ya:beer: We'll cheer again oneday...maybe!
