Before the season started, my prediction for the Lions were generous: 9-7

After seeing the first game of the season, I think I was too generous.

The Lions could've won that game, but like they always do, they screwed up. This game wasn't some pre-season game that they could afford to screw up in.

Years ago, I was a Detroit Lions fan, like most members of my family.

But when I saw them went into an 0-16 season, that was the last straw for me.

I stopped being a Lions fan.

I had enough rooting for a NFL team that can't even get in to the playoffs, let alone win a Super Bowl.

I know that when Green Bay comes to Ford Field, the Lions are going to get a beating that they will never forget.

And if I ever go Ford Field, I will wear a cheesehead instead of a Lions shirt.

They have no one to blame anymore,

Not even the "Curse of Bobby Layne".

The 50 years is up.

They can only blame their own incompetence for failing to even get to the playoffs, and have never won a Super Bowl.
