Why does this image come to my Lion's fans mind?

I'm not familiar with that particular cartoon episode. But I'm making the leap of faith to believe the Lions 2023 season will be better than 2022.
For history buffs, here's more about the Lions' sad fate after November 22, 1963, known to locals as the dog adoption.

Because the possibility exists that we'll be seeing the same old Lions. I really hope not.
Looks like they're going to sign Teddy Bridgewater. I think it's a great move - if Goff goes down and Hooker isn't ready it's Armageddon.
Are you ready for some football. Detroit Lions are back in action. Since their last season ended in 9-8, so close to the wild card game, Coach Campbell is confident enough to life his team spirit to get the Lions into the playoffs and somehow break the Bobby Layne Curse.
2023-2024 Lions.

That's alright comeback cats!

Sudfeld needs some work in the QB cue passes. The rookie offenses finally warmed up at the end.
IMO;
- Sudfeld needs a pink slip, yesterday.
- Jamo will end-up just like Titus Young, Charles Rogers.
- Benito Jones not getting enough recognition.
- Maurice Alexander needs to make the roster.
So you're giving up on Jamo already? I mean he's how old? That's a huge statement to make saying he's going to end up like Young or Rogers.

I wish fans would give him a break, otherwise he's not going to want to be here at all. He's so fast, he has the potential to be a special player. I think he has a lot of maturing to do, but the fact is not every player comes in with the tools and fortune to hit the ground running on day one. Young guys need consistency, and nothing about his professional career has been consistent so far. Yes, some of that is of his own making, but did we all make the best decisions when we were 21-22 years old? Me and my buddies made plenty of errors in judgment back in those days, but were lucky enough not to be under the public microscope at that age.
I hope fans find it in themselves to stand behind him, and support him. Holmes and Campbell have earned the benefit of the doubt that they have an eye for talent, so I personally can't wait to see what he can do once he finally has a chance to settle in and play.
It would be something to see the Lions logo displayed on the giant LED screen on top of the RenCen if the Lions win the Superbowl. I know GM and Ford are rivals but they could come together for the celebration on an event that hasn't happened in nearly 70 years
Kind of jumping the gun a bit there. There's about 8-9 teams favored ahead of the Lions, some by a wide margin.
That's better than the 30-31 teams favored ahead of them, which is what we've been used to for far too long!
Hype will meet reality in the the Lions' first game--playing the Super Bowl champ on other side's home opener. Pull off that upset and the hype volume will be deafening.
IMO;
- John Cominsky gets the "Gold Star"
- Teddy Bridgewater gets a "Pass"
- Sudfeld, immediate [[yesterday) bus ticket home w/no USFL or XFL invite
- Offense: 2nd & 3rd string requires vast improvement [[Aug 29th+)
Don't these games determine which players stay on the practice squad v. which are released?
P.S. Based on performance to date, IME Jamo would go to the practice squad but we won't his destination until after the suspension. I hope it doesn't happen, but he could be the Lions' next D'Andre Swift.
There are a few things to unpack here. First, all players who don’t make the 53 man roster are “released.” The league sometimes calls them “cut” this time of year but it effectively is the same thing. Second, any player assigned to the practice squad must clear waivers. Third, if the Lions do release Jamo they eat the final 3 years of his 4 year deal, 7 Mill in dead cap this year. In other words, it is still expensive to throw in the towel on him considering he’s still on a rookie deal. Last, I think if the phone rang and someone wanted to give up a 4th rounder like they received for Swift at this point in Jamo’s career, I would assume that Brad Holmes would be listening. That would solve the dead cap problem and free up money to sign the next best available that could play immediately. Considering he has hardly played in the league, is injured and starting a 6 game suspension my guess is the chances of that phone ringing for Jamo are about zero.Don't these games determine which players stay on the practice squad v. which are released?

Nothing personal Henry, but after reading you for a few years on Lions threads it seems you think the practice squad is some sort of assignment that the Lions can use to send poor performing players to as some sort of punishment for playing bad or those players in need of a attitude adjustment. That’s just not how NFL roster rules work at all.
