I get that, and as I stated in my first post I have nothing against these long suffering Lions fans.

 

But Detroit has won 4 World Series titles, 4 NBA championships, and 11 Stanley Cups. Buffalo has won 2 AFL titles and a couple lacrosse championships.

 

As a city there is absolutely no one who deserves a world championship before Buffalo, New York. 

 

I agree 💯. If the Bills are eliminated, I don't pull for teams who have never won it get one before the Bills do; however, if it came down to a team like the Lions in the SB against anyone in our division or KC or Pittsburgh, I'm pulling for the Lions a hundred times out of a hundred.

I'll be honest, and I admit it's petty. But I rarely root for teams that haven't won anything other than the Bills. Until we get a chip, I don't want the Lions and Browns of the world getting one. Not that I have anything against their fan bases as they obviously deserve some success

 

There was an 89 year old Lions fan in the stands who has been a season ticket holder for 66 years. He was around for Detroit's last NFL Championship...in 1957. I was really happy for him. Too many of my family members have passed without ever seeing the Bills win anything, including my parents. It has been 31 years since Detroit's last playoff win. That man deserves a shred of happiness for that kind of devotion. Good for him, good for Lions fans.

Having one timeout is going to kill the Rams here

 

Must be something about head coaches starting with 'Mc' needlessly wasting timeouts...

You guys sure love your dead...er...'expired' coaches. BTW, is that 'Bill' with two 'L's or three?

I don’t know what roughing the passer looks like anymore 

 

Neither do the refs...

[Game Thread: Los Angeles Rams at Detroit 8:15 PM ET NBC]

I'm pulling for the Lions but there should have been a roughing the QB on the Rams last play that sent Stafford to the tent.

Yep leaving all that space right next to KC making them likely popular in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas, Oklahoma, hell I wouldn't be surprised if they were popular in South Dakota.

 

The Dakotas are Minnesota Vikings territory.

This league is worth billions but they're too lazy money hungry to care about getting calls right. Campbell should've gone ballistic.

horrible refs.

 

Really? After their 'stellar' regular season, I thought they'd magically get better for the playoffs. 😇

This is heavyweight fight with body blow after body blow.

5th round!  Where were the scouts on this guy?  He pops off the screen as a silky smooth athlete.

 

Kyle Williams, Stefon Diggs, & Matt Milano were all 5th Round picks, as well.

I caught that, too, and found it amusing. Wasn't sure if they cut off his audio or if he stopped at "the" intentionally.

BB going to go to the Washington Commanders is my pick 

 

Or the Falcons. Ton of offensive talent there.
